    Very cosy spot with an outdoorsy atmosphere. Sushi was fresh and delicious. There are some interesting menu options that are unique to this diner. The lemonade was so good. Service was friendly and we enjoyed the food thoroughly. Thank you Sandra for taking good care of us!

    Amazing works there. Also i admire the hard work you all put to make the place nice. Professionalism of your workers is worth to be mentioned. I remember 1 with the name Precious. She was really good to us. I can surely refer a friend there. CIAO👍

    Okay, let me start off with the prices being very high. It is really expensive. However, the interior really quaint. It's lush with greenery. The sushi, even though expensive is absolutely worth it. Best sushi around and I have tried a lot of sushi.

    Tiny little sushi place hiding behind Wine Concepts in Claremont. I’ve eaten there a few times and it has remained consistent over the years. The menu offers value for money, especially if you opt for the ‘box combos’. We had the Fusion Box, which was 12 pieces for R153. We added a portion of seared tuna sashimi and we started it all off with the salmon tacos and the salmon potstickers. Everything was delish, I’d happy order any of those dishes again. And I will probably also wash it down with a carafe of rose again too!

    Such a cute vibey spot. The staff are incredible. We had the salmon box. The salmon super fresh and tasty. We also had the salmon tacos and the tampura prawns. I miss this place already! A total must go in Claremont, if not Cape Town!

    Absolutely loved it! Sushi is one of the best I've had. It was my first time and I was really impressed with their food. They don't have any cocktails or liquor, but we we went next door to Wine Concepts and bought a bottle of Pinot Noir - The Sushi Box doesn't charge a corkage fee! Would definitely recommend this place. Gives Salushi a run for their money

    If you're looking for quality sushi, that never fluctuates - sushibox is definitely the place to order from. The consistency in their service and quality of food deserves way more than 5 stars.

    Saturday 10 September 2022 A previous visit to Sushi Box Newlands was just as we were exiting the stringent laws of COVID Lockdown, only allowing for takeout orders. The result was a meagre, disastrous failure, thus it has taken well over two years, until today to choose to venture forth and see if Sushi Box is up to standard comparable to it’s heyday beginnings … in earlier days remembering our regular cravings and their scrumptious food, vibrant waitrons’ friendly greetings and personal interactions. Alas today was just a sad inedible untidy vision of ‘standards-dropped’. So-much-so that the three of us could NOT be tempted to complete the emptying of the sloppy platters. Sushi was unappetizing, totally unrelated and incomparable to the incredible sushi that was once upon a time, served us in times past. We arrived at noon, in the hopes of finding a vacant table, yet needn’t have worried, as much of our time spent there, we were the only occupied table, until two more tables eventually filled. Seems gone are the days of high demand at this forlorn venue. Service? Lacking!…. Oh! The drinking glasses had a distinct fishy smell. A ps: Replying to the owner’s response: thanks for your response. No need for further/ email correspondence, we won’t be returning. I DO suggest to you though that Sushi Box Newlands needs to ‘cleanse its palate’ (start afresh by upping its game…intense re-training of its staff: from chefs to waitrons).

    This is a fine little neighborhood place. Service was friendly and accommodating. The sushi pieces were larger than a mouthful and missed the finesse that I think of for sushi.

  • 4/5 Douglas W. 1 year ago on Google
    Can often be quite busy with the feeling of being understaffed during peak times. Gotten into the habit of always double-checking that my takeaway order is correct after a few times of receiving meals with minor errors like tuna instead of salmon. It's always incredibly delicious though. My go-to sushi place.

    Very good chilled restaurant, warm atmosphere. I made a good decision to go dine at sushi box fresh sushi(chef's kiss) great service also.

    Amazing sushi!! Great service and friendly staff especially Precious. She would continuously check up if I needed anything and served very well. Her easygoing personality made my experience at Sushi Box great!!

    Greeted with a smile, lovely atmosphere with the water feature, and the waitress suggested Panco Prawn Roll which I couldn’t have made a better choice myself. Overall nice experience.

    We had the Tuna special and it was absolutely incredible, would definitely recommend!! Innocentia was our waitress and she made our stay that much more enjoyable.

    One of my favorite places for good sushi at great prices. The quality is amazing. It's definitely a go to for comfort food after a long week/day. Love it

  • 3/5 Josie K. 4 months ago on Google
    It took absolutely ages for the food to arrive. We waited over an hour as it is clear that the Uber Eats orders take precedence over the restaurant customers. The food was nice when it did eventually come but I won't eat there again as the wait was unacceptable especially considering the restaurant was not very busy...all the patrons seemed to be kept waiting. The waitress was sweet but pretty useless.

  • 5/5 Andre J. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed a quick bite to eat at your establishment yesterday. It was the first time we were there. Food was delivered to the table but after waitress didn't come ask how was food or if we needed anything else, etc. When we were done, it took awhile for our platters to be cleared then a trainee cleared our table and another waitress completed the payment process. Food was delicious tho. Thank you

    Average service, average sushi. I didn’t find their crispy prawn rolls very ‘crispy’. Their specials and the prices on their menu are the same. They do not have any knives + forks on hand. I understand they’re a sushi restaurant but not everyone uses chopsticks! I noticed more than one customer needing to eat with their hands.
