Sushi Ball House — Restaurant in Christchurch

Prices have significantly climbed over the last couple years. Used to be cheap, not so awesome in terms of value now.

Charges for extra mayo or teriyaki sauce are quite high, making it even less worth the price if you value a bit extra mayo or sauce.

Overall, I will continue to return dispite the increasingly “not...
