Linko is a charming, welcoming space in the heart of Obs, with a vibey, semi-eclectic decor that I really enjoyed. The interior is a lot bigger than it appears from the street, and thoughtful laid out for both main menu or sushi dining. The price points of the food are great and the online menu is up to date (just click the website link in the Google location above). Both the usual sushi and stir-fry based options are available, and it's a quick and tasty affair. Although younger kids may not be super entertained by this dining experience, it is a great option for both family outings and date nights. The location makes the usual Obs parking Olympics unavoidable, but you could always park a little distance away (e.g. the lot opposite the Spar) and walking across. It is possible to find closer spots out of peak times, though. Staff here are friendly and responsive and the owner clearly cares about his food, guests, and ambience. Worth a visit.

Dumplings are good but the sushi was quite bad. Sushi rice was mushy, too much in quantity and did not have vinegar and sugar taste to it. The crunchy rolls does not taste fresh and the avo seemed off. Also too much chilled sauce and mayo.

Absolute favorite place for sushi 🍣 and some wine 🍷. Service is incredible. The owner was aware that a friend and I were quite threatened by some of the homeless people and numerously tried to intervene which was comforting. The easthetic feels so genuine that it felt like an out of South African experience. The food is really good highly recommend their dumplings which is served as a complimentary side of any platter. There are also specials during the week which you can look out for.

Went on a Friday around 4pm with my partner. Craved some sushi so we ordered a Gold Omega Platter, and found out when ordering a platter we get 4 complimentary dumplings! (Either veg or pork - we chose pork). The sushi was incredible! My partner loved the dumplings - "exquisite"! Atmosphere was great, fully packed up until around 6pm. And the service was incredible, thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Love Linko’s. Their dumplings are definitely worth it and reasonably priced. They have weekday specials. We have made this place our quiet date night spot on Wed and Thu and go here solely for they chinese meals, fried rice and dumpling boxes. The sushi is fresh, but the preparation and technique something to be improved as the sushi is a bit bulky.

Best pan fried pork dumplings I've ever had, no other restaurants compare. Sushi is incredible too. I dream about eating here. Please open a branch in Kuilsriver.

A great spot for lunch, prices are decent and the food is AMAZING!!! Also they are generous when it comes to their portion sizes! I would highly recommend trying out their dumplings and egg fried rice 👌🏼

I went based on a friend recommendation for dumplings as it's hand made. We wanted the full experience so we tried all types ; steamed pork, pan fried pork, mixed veg and pork wontons, streamed prawn and beef bao buns. I was so stuffed so I got me a oolong tea to digest everything. It was quite lovely. I just did not enjoy the steamed prawn as it was quite bland but the rest was really great. I'll definitely come again to have their sushi

This is honestly my most recommended and favourite place in the world, whether it be a takeaway or dine in. Their food is immaculate and service that compliments it. We drive all the way from Mitchell's Plain to get it and I truly think it'll most probably be a craving I'd have if I were ever to be pregnant one day lol. Such a fan of Linkos and definitely a hill I wish to die on.

It was my first time here. I really enjoyed the food. Really loved their ginger and honey infused tea. I cannot wait to go again.

A restaurant with charming decor and some sas! We were greeted with a great welcome, and had friendly service throughout our brunch. Restaurant was empty (arrived around 12pm). The sushi portions are massive and our food was fresh. One platter was R230 and another R240. One was 23 pieces and the other 24, and each platter came with 4 free dim sim, because we had 2 platters we got 8, of either veg or pork(not pictured). My friend also ordered spring rolls and we both had 2 drinks each. The only problem in Observatory generally is the parking as we walked to the restaurant but would definitely go back regardless. Not recommended for people who like less rice with their sushi. However they do have other food options, which I would like to try when I return.

What a delightful experience! The service was fantastic, the food was delicious, portions exceed expectations, Linkos definitely lives up to the hype. I cannot wait to return. Sushi is fresh, big portions and affordable for what you get. The dumpling mixed platter was a great way to discover which was our favourite. We took so much food home in doggy bags. Parking was our only challenge but its a challenge I'll gladly face to dine here again.

The sushi looks good but it didn’t taste great, I was expecting it to taste great because of the hype on tiktok. The sweet sauce on the sushi is overpowering needs more of the mayo. I also had the fried rice and chowmein noodles, the fried rice was very nice and the noodle was over cooked and overpowered by the oyster sauce.

What an incredible surprise! Home made boa and hand rolled pot stickers perfectly balanced with their dips and the best hot hot Szechuan hot hot chilli beef with well chosen vegetables in a bean broth … ambrosial and worthy of any Neijiang Buddhism Sagga. Will definitely be back.

The best salmon sashimi I've ever tasted. The hype behind this place is valid. Delicious, unique sushi in a quint little place, fitting for Obs. Must try!

Great sushi platters! Steamed buns are my favourite! They also make great fried rice.
