    Food was really fresh and tasty. Don't overlook John Dory's, food tasted way better than ocean basket

    I went for supper with a friend. It was a bit busy for a week day but the service was excellent. I ordered a prawn and cream cheese spring roll which was good but unfortunately no chicken spring rolls. XO Prawn spring rolls would be a great addition to the menu. The spring roll came with a sweet chilli dipping sours which was good I ordered the prawn bomb poke bowl which was Delicia and I would highly recommend. It even have mango which I love. My friend ordered fish and prawns which was a really generous portion and was amazing. We ordered and watermelon strawberry mocktail which was delicious. Maybe not for people who don’t like sweet drinks. The service was good, the food came out pretty fast. We were welcomed with a complimentary bowl of popovers. Food was delicious. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely come again and recommend John Dory

    Nice enough venue but unfortunately the service and food fell short. Thankfully we didn't have to wait to be seated but there was a queue when we left. My wife loved her poke bowl and my daughters ice-cream was a nice portion size but my ribs were so unbelievably dry and upset my stomach... Twice. Lol. The waiting time for food to be delivered to the table was also nearly an hour. Many seem to enjoy it but not for me.

    The person who gave us our menu very unfriendly did not smile. Bur our waiter Givemore made up for it, he was super friendly and helpful. A bit of a noisy venue. I had the grilled hake and veg - very good. 😊

    Approaching 9 p.m., the senior manager graciously permitted us to dine, even though the kitchen was on the verge of closing. We selected items from the menu, enjoyed outstanding service, and relished the delectable food. Highly recommended, with affordable prices.

    Marvelous sushi, as always! Half price sushi on a Wednesday is always a win.

    Unprecedented bad experience, the ingredients are not fresh, the shrimp are black, and the shrimp is powder. Squid only gave half a portion. After the manager came over and stared at it, he actually explained that the shrimp was like this when it came, very insincere and irresponsible.

    I had John dory's delivered to my work for the first time ever for lunch and honestly I was not expecting what I got. The fish was so fresh and so good. It literally melted in my mouth and the sushi was bomb. Like a literal burst of flavour in my mouth. Fortune cookie brought me good luck so that was an extra. Definitely my new favorite fish and chip restaurant.

    It was not crowded and good and sharp service at this venue . The wait staff was attentive but not overbearing and even though the food took some time to arrive, it was well-prepared and tasty. The sushi belt was well-stocked and they have Wednesday half-price sushi specials. Some of the soft bench seating was in a state of disrepair and there is not bathroom in the restaurant itself. It begins to fill up after 6pm.

    The sea food they serve is much fresher than most other places with sea food around. The service is above average with warm staff members. In all, I always have a pleasant experience whenever I visit. For fresh seafood and more, I would definitely recommend you try out John Dory's Century City at Canal Walk.

    What delicious food. My hake was soft and juicy and my husband had steak... which he said he enjoyed more than some "steak houses". Nadine was our waitress and she was friendly and we had wonderful service from her. Thank you.

    Bad bad bad. This is our first time we had a bad experience ordering from John dory using Uber eats. The food was so oil and didn't taste freshly made. The calamari was full of oil and looked and felt old. My hand is still oily and can still taste the oil in my throat. Very disappointed. This order was received at 18:04 and we ate almost immediately. Hands shiny from all the oil.

    We love going to this eatery as it caters for those who love seafood and burgers. It's difficult to get an eatery that caters for seafood and burgers as one eats seafood and the other is allergic to it.

  • 1/5 Jared M. 1 year ago on Google
    They greeted and seated us with all our expectations fulfilled. Only to be left sitting with our menu as we watched all the other tables get checked on and seen to. We were overlooked and seeing as this was our first time at this establishment I'm sure it'll be the last. Hope N1 city's branch will be better.

    Our waiter was great and patient. The food was great as well.

    I'm so filled with the platter I bought I'm a big eater and I was with my partner we shared the platter and I was still filled up I would definitely recommend the Sunday special for R200

👍 Seating was immediate and we were attended to within about 5minutes. Had a bit of a language barrier when I enquired about drinks, waiter didn't look like he understood what I was asking for. Meal was good, took the spagnolo pasta which I thought could've had a bit of a more seafood sauce taste. Hub...
