shrimp tempura roll / dumplings

Just off of Spadina on Richmond St. is CJ Lunch Box and it's exactly like how the name sounds...well I guess except for that CJ part. First, LUNCH, this place mainly caters to the lunch crowd, their hours are really limited like from 11am - 3pm. Second, BOX, all the food comes in plastic boxes...sushi, sashimi, edamame, dumplings, and any other japanese food that can fit neatly into them. That just leaves CJ which...??? but who knows or cares when the sushi is this cheap and I mean like dirt cheap. None of their rolls cost over $4 for at least 8 decent sized pieces (and not just the crappy ones like cucumber roll). Also inside is not so much like a restaurant or even a takeout counter but more like a mini supermarket where you pick out your boxes of cheap food and then bring them to the cashier to pay.

I randomly picked out a box of tempura shrimp roll ($?.??) and a box of 10 dumplings ($?.??). Don't really remember what they cost individually but together the total was $8.50 with tax so I'd guess the roll was around $3.75? and the dumplings $4. This obviously isn't the highest quality stuff here but for that price I'm not complaining and I was satisfied with my $4 sushi. The dumplings were decent too and they also heat up them for you which is a nice touch. So overall, cheap? and sushi? I like it.
