SUKI Sushi & Asian Cuisine
Asian restaurant
👍👍 The service is amazing and the sushi is indescribably amazing. I never regret coming to SUKI for sushi. They also have sushi lunch specials between 1 to 4pm or 12 to 3pm (check their Facebook page). Definitely recommend their rainbow and tempura platters.

Obi Restaurant
Japanese restaurant
😠 Maybe it's because we arrived at 8:45. Near the closing time (in fact, our friends have ordered us in advance) the waiter's attitude is very poor and there is no service at all. We have ramen. The noodles are not elastic and the soup is salty. It can be said that it is not worth the price at all. Th...

Aiko Sushi

👍👍 Definitely coming back! For Cape Town standards, the service is excellent, sushi is great - many other places don’t know how to cool sushi rice but Aiko definitely knows how! A variety of choices in the menu and I enjoyed the lunch offer specials. Coming back for the all you can eat offer next time...

Biru
Korean restaurant
👍 Biru is a great place to have Chinese and Japanese cuisine. They offer grill, hotpot, and sushi. I've came here a few times and tried quite a few dishes. The quality of food is top notch with very fresh ingredients. Unfortunately, the food is quite expensive. The last time I was here, we are a table...

Genki
Sushi restaurant
😠 Quite possibly the worst sushi I've ever had. The fish was cooked through, the avo was overripe and I felt sick after eating it. Service After an admittedly warm welcome from the friendly hostess, it took the waiters approximately 15 minutes before acknowledging and providing us with a menu. The...

Japa Express Sushi Bar
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Either than sushi, this was my first exposure to Japanese cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised and content with the flavors and texture of my meals. The side variety of side dishes were unexpected as well. I will admit it is on the more pricy side but worth it

Yori Oki Sushi & Grill
Japanese restaurant
👍 Really well designed venue, great tableware and decor. The food was really good. Modern Japanese fusion cuisine. I will continue dining here and hope that they start getting a little more authentic dishes onto the menu. I would also prefer a little less rice in the sushi rolls, as you end up eating...

👍👍 As the name suggest that it is a Japanese restaurant, it also caters for the traditional Cantonese cuisine. Been there twice and on both occasions the quality of food and service has been excellent. Well deserved 5 stars. That past Sunday we had an 8 course meal for 16 guests and we paid just on R30...

😠 I used to order from this restaurant on a weekly basis but the quality of their sushi rice became so bad/undercooked that I stopped. I decided to try again today and wish I had not. They may be cheaper but the rice is still hard and almost inedible. When phoning them and politely explaining the prob...
