    It is a great Sushi restaurant. Excellent food, friendly staff. We went there every night, 3 days in a row as the kids (and we) did not want to go elsewhere. So, on day 3 the staff already knew our order by heart! Great place, great Sushi, great people ;-)

  • 1/5 Spiros M. 3 years ago on Google
    Over priced, way too much rice in California rolls and too little salmon, ginger way too thickly cut and maki rolls were tiny. When mentioned to waitress she just said sorry. That's just not good enough. Sub-standard quality at high prices. Would not go back in a hurry.

  • 5/5 Gareth L. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a great lunch at the sushi box, everything was in order and COVID compliant. Sam and team keep up the great service.

  • 5/5 Ilan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the best sushi in town! More on the expensive side, but a very unique selection. Highly recommended the salmon tacos!! Lovely staff too!

  • 5/5 Nikki L. 1 year ago on Google
    A little goes a long way - Just some context: A few weeks ago I was having a terrible day, things weren’t going right and nothing seemed to be getting better. I decided to go to Sushi Box to get a takeaway to feel better, I ordered my food and sat down to call my partner and explain my terrible day. Now I have eaten at this specific sushi box before and it’s always consistent quality, food standards and orders. But that day when I received my order and opened it, I saw a note on my box from the Staff at sushi box “Never let your head hang down” Needless to say it was heartwarming to know that someone who never knew what situation I was going through or who I was personally was kind enough to offer words of affirmation. For this I would like to give my Thanks to the staff at sushi box who was kind enough to reach out in gentle and subtle ways. And a high recommendation, should you ever come to this branch: I hope you receive the friendly and kind service I always do and to always tip well!

    Exclusively polite and handsome TC! I really like Sushi box and their rolls. This is the first my place in Cape Town which appearance might create false feelings. Very good rolls and service!

    I have just moved to Cape Town and thought I would try a new Sushi place and when I ordered here, the service and staff are incredible and are very friendly. The sushi om the other hand is delicious and always freshly made as you can watch th from.the opposite side of the counter. Truly would recommend the SushiBox to anyone

  • 5/5 Allan S. 4 years ago on Google
    We had been at the Waterfront all afternoon and just wanted to escape the crowds and enjoy some really good sushi. Sushi Box De Waterkant was perfect. It is just off the beaten bath and our Uber driver dropped us off right at the front door. The sushi was so good that we ordered more of the tempura salmon roll. The Vietnamese salad was delicious, and the service was excellent.

    Highly recommend! Really good and the value for money is great. We came twice during our stay and the service was great both times. We especially want to highlight Sandra, as she was extremely friendly and helpful!

    Good food, met Sam and friendly team... But please pull up your mask when you talk over our sushi, thank you.🙈

  • 5/5 Courtney-Joss E. 3 years ago on Google
    De Waterkant is by far the best store. Not only is the sushi amongst the best in Cape Town but their staff are lovely. I’m greeted by name and not because I’m a daily visitor but even with months passing between visits. I’m so impressed and they really should be on your places to try list!

  • 5/5 Jon S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great sushi, great service, great location. Been here several times and will keep coming back. Sam is personable and the entire staff is friendly. 👍

  • 5/5 Rachel A. 3 years ago on Google
    Always a great time at Sushi Box De Waterkant - Sam is a great manager, so friendly and warm. The food is really great too. I highly recommend it 😊

  • 5/5 Jarred L. 3 years ago on Google
    My favourite place for sushi in Cape Town! Placed on the cobbled Jarvis Street, with outdoor seating it feels like you're in a different country. Great quality sushi and arrives fresh to the table as soon as it's made. Service is always happy to see you and make you feel at home. Really recommend the Fusion Box with the Crispy Salmon.

  • 5/5 Katherine M. 3 years ago on Google
    Thank you Sam and team you are great, the food was amazing, my boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. All safety protocols during this pandemic where applied. It is definitely a great place for sushi.

  • 5/5 Kerry E. 3 years ago on Google
    The sushi was absolutely delicious. Very fresh and tasty. We couldn't stop ordering more. Really wonderful experience! Thank you. One suggestion would be to offer gluten free soy sauce (tamari) as this would have made a big difference being gluten intolerant.

    I had the most wonderful experience at the Sushi Box in de Waterkant. I was greeted by far one of the friendliest and kindest waiter i have ever had, Sam. He really made my day and made my experience even better. I definitely recommend going there and having a nice chat to sam.

  • 4/5 Lindsay S. 3 years ago on Google
    Sam and his team were very nice, professional, and helpful! The food was wonderful, and very timely. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the outdoor seating is on a street with a lot of traffic.
