Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Fifteen dollars is a real budget. Five places here, four in Camberwell and one over the border in Hawthorn East, each with at least one item under that ceiling on a menu page the venue published. Heaps of other dishes sit above it and are left out.
Every price is copied as printed. Hoko Sushi’s come from its online-ordering page, so in-store prices may differ a touch. Extra Shot Café’s site reads as older, so confirm it before a trip.
Each entry runs the same way: the price, what the dish is, then one move.
