CJ Lunch Box is a very cheap takeout sushi place that's open for lunches only. You won't find cheaper sushi anywhere else.
The rolls themselves are fine. They're not too special, but they are also not bad at all. They're a step up from grocery store sushi and prepared to order (if you order at the counter or through the Ritual app). Miso soup is complimentary, just self serve and drink to your heart's content!
My typical lunches at CJ lunch box are either two regular rolls or a volcano roll. Both options fill me up, but extra compliments to the volcano roll. It's so stuffed with flavours (and bonus yam tempura fries) that you'd forget you're at a budget sushi place.
They get super super busy during lunch hours, with long lineups forming easily. It might take 10-15 minutes of waiting, so if you don't have that much time or are just lazy you should order through the Ritual app and come for pickup a bit later to skip the line. -

I literally stopped because of the long line of hungry people picking up boxes and shoving money at the cashier. The concept is simple. You pick up boxes of prepared sushi, gyoza, and seaweed salad from the open cabinet. There are cold drinks in the fridge or you can scoop up some miso soup as you wait in line. You pay (~$5 for a maki, ~8 for sushi) the cashier by the door and walk out with a good lunch in hand.
The maki itself is heavy on the rice but there is enough of fish and avocado to make it delicious. The rice is soft and well seasoned, so it makes for a filling meal. Good option for a simple weekday lunch on the run! -

A decent, no frills sushi joint in the Entertainment District. I wouldn't say it's super cheap nor super delicious but it sure hits the spot. Lunch rush is no joke but the line moves fast. A few seats but it's more of a grab-and-go establishment.
2 boxes of sushi for $9.50.
Not bad, not bad. -

This place is inexpensive for a restaurant but the quality reflects it's cheap price. The sushi here honestly feels more like something you could get at grocery stores. I actually prefer some sushi from shoppers drug mart and there wouldn't be a line at lunch time.

Cheap sushi. No frills. Lunch only. I wish they opened for dinner. Is this place a front? Lol!
I once found a fish scale in a salmon sushi though. No big deal. I haven't gotten sick from here yet.
