    There isn't much to look forward to in Kempton park but this place is certainly one of the hilights. The food was on point. Friendly service. The decor and ambience is so on point. Definitely gets super busy during lunch time.

    Beautiful venue with flexibility to customize our event. Absolutely delicious food, starters , mains and dessert. The sushi platters are served with theatrics. The staff was attentive to our needs.

    The best sushi I have ever had. Fantastic quality. Sushi ordering takes abit longer than other places but completely worth it. Great for date nights or with small groups. I would suggest making a reservation before going.

    Absolutely amazing experience! We have been here a few times now. Every time the food is amazing, their sushi is the best I've had. It has a very classy atmosphere. The only slight issue we've had is sometimes slow service from our waiter or unfriendly waiter. However I would go back for the sushi even if I had to wait an hour. Would highly recommend

    Class of its own. A lovely gem on the outskirts of Edenvale, falling under Kempton Park. Delicious meals, full of flavor. Had a lovely well cooked chefs special, lamb shank. Our waiter was exceptional well trained in understanding what each dish entailed as well as what wines to pair with the food. The evening was busy so we had to sometimes look for our waiter, which was the only negative thing I can point out.

    Villa Bianca is absolutely amazing! The ambiance is so relaxing but also sophisticated. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious to say the absolute least! I had the beat vegeterian sushi that I've ever had. Definitely a place I would go to again!

    Thank you Villa Bianca for an awesome evening. This was for sure one of the highlights in our venture. And thank you for making our anniversary super special. The staff members are super skilled and very frendly. Love the ambiance. Keep up the high standards. Love Pierre and Yolande Venter (Piet and Petat)

    Most amazing pasta that I've tasted in a very long time, my absolute favorite! 🍝 And the pizza chef was incredible, our 6 month old baby got bored so he sent her a plate of pizza dough to play with. 😊 It's the small things like this that make a restaurant stand out!

    We had the sushi buffet special which is R250 per person eat as much as you like. Sushi was devine. The place is beautiful. However our waiter was disappointing we had ordered a bottle of water when we 1st arrived apart from our own individual drinks later on in the night the water was finished and we asked for a glass of water it must of been over 3 times we asked and it never came to the table

    We were here for a work function. They were completely unprepared for us! It took us 45mins on average to get a drink. We ended up catching the waiters at the bar trying to get service. The food is however amazing.

  • 5/5 Johann C. 9 months ago on Google
    As usual, absolutely fantastic service, food and atmosphere. Villa Bianca is hands down one of the top restaurants to go to for a great sushi experience. The service is great and friendly and the restaurant is clean. Always good to make a booking if you want to go for dinner or lunch to ensure you have a table when you arrive.

    First time visit, nice setup. Food is devine. There are wheelchair ramps, however there's two steps that don't have ramps. The inside is also a bit narrow to navigate a wheelchair around. Compliments to the chef because all the dishes we had were truly delicious. Serving size is a good portion and a bit on the pricey side, but it is worth it 100%. They got very busy, so I will recommend you book a table and because they are so busy service towards the end was a bit slow but our waiter was excellent and friendly and accommodating. It gets a bit loud, so if you don't like the noise, it might not be for you.

    Food is always amazing, my favourite sushi spot in fact. Service is always great. Atmosphere is a bit stiff, except for the bar/smoke area. Bathrooms are always spotless.

  • 3/5 Mondli 9 months ago on Google
    They had TVs on the walls, as if it was a sports bar, and that took away from the atmosphere. (Easy fix) They should be switched off, it’s not a news cafe. They had an all you can eat sushi, but the portions were massive and you could also only order your next order, after you received your first. Wait time roughly 30 min per round, meaning you get 2-3 rounds, but are finishing your meal when the rest of your table is already finished. Smaller portions and faster service, would dramatically improve the experience. It will also allow for the best part of all you can eat, trying different things.

    From booking, to our arrival, to the very friendly and professional welcome, we enjoyed our experience. The menu has lots of options - we picked sushi today. A divine experience with really good sushi options! Thank you Villa Bianca & Colleen for hosting us today!

    We had sushi takeout for the first time and they did not disappoint. It was just as good as when you dine in.

    As a party of 16, we booked a private dining room and were treated to the most exquisite dining experience. Every order which included entres, mains as well as desserts, were made to perfection. Although a little pricey, the quality food made up for it.

    We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary here and today we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at the exact same restaurant. We moved out of the area so have not been here in a while but it is still as charming and romantic. Our waitress, (Forgiveness) was a star, and we rate her 11/10! Well done to the family for continuing the legacy. It has changed a lot since the last time we were there, but all for the better. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this gem. Here's to the next 30 years for Villa Bianca and us 🥰🍾🥂

    Excellent food. Wonderful experience and a great team. One recommendation… get your staff comfortable masks, the current ones are visibly causing discomfort and scratching the waiters faces or allow them to wear their own.

    We booked a table for 2 at 6pm on Friday. We arrived at 5:45 and we were asked to wait at the bar as they only open for service at 6. By 6:20, everyone who arrived before us and after us had been given a table. We were eventually seated by 6:25 perhaps later. We ordered the oysters as a starter and let our waiter know we we wanted to try the Sushi and Dimsum buffet special. He left without taking our sushi orders. On arriving with our oysters (which were really good) we then asked for the Hong Kong pairs and some Gao. He checked with the kitchen and there were none available at all. We then ordered the Seared Tuna and Salmon Roses. These arrived after a short wait and we placed our next order or Nacho Libre and Dragon vs Tiger as the "kitchen was getting very busy". These took a little longer to arrive (time was now 7:36)but were also excellenet. We placed the next order of Seared Salmon, Tuna Roses and a Long Island Ice Tea. This is when the wheels really fell off. The Long Island arrived 30min later, while the sushi arrived at 9:02 (I would not suggest the Seared Salmon). The wait between orders at that point was an hour and a half. It was also odd that everyone else seemed to have glass saucers for sauces while ours were all plastic take a way ones. The waiter (Brian) was very apologetic and asked us to place the next order as well so he could rush it. Our final order (as we didn't know when the kitchen closed and how long it would take) was the Signature Fire Sushi and Prawn Nigiri. These arrived in a timeous manner and was excellent, but with having to wait so long for food and drinks and it being after 9:30 we left. Honestly I would warn anyone against doing the Sushi and Dimsum buffet because even though the food was excellent the wait time was ridiculous and the lack of the Dimsum part was very disappointing.

    Booked a table for 4 for 6pm for my daughter’s birthday, arrived timeously but had to wait in the bar area for over 45 minutes for a table so what’s the purpose of booking online?? We were already hungry and so we ordered immediately the “all you can eat sushi” for the kids and the adults ordered of the menu. Firstly our waitress failed to mention how the sushi orders worked so we waited 40-45 minutes for each sushi plate, it was already rather late in the evening and by which time my kids were done with the whole dining experience. It seems that you have to order 2 plates at once so when 1 order is placed, prepared & eventually brought out, then the second plate takes another 40-45 minutes to reach you!!!! The fish (dry & overcooked) with lemon sauce (extra salty & split) and jasmine rice (burnt bits) was a zero!! Starters was bland and the burger was nothing memorable. The meat dumplings tasted like soya and the spinach ones were okay so overall a dining experience I will not care to repeat!!!

    A very fancy dining experience. The interior mood and decor is delightful, as is the music choice for setting a romantic mood. The food options are quite suitably fancy and enjoyable, though the Escargot on Bone Marrow was... peculiar and hard to eat meal. The flaming sushi on the other hand was a tasty and entertaining spectacle, and the Inside Out CheeseCake is a lovely well balanced dessert. The table dressing was worn and burnt, but the complimentary garlic bread and sausage was delightful.

    Just check. They have eat as much Sushi for R250, but they take a long time to bring the food. And if you order 1 plate, they still charge you for R250z Will never eat here again. The manager or owner, did not even try and understand. It sorry, they will never see me again, this is a ripoff!!

    One of the best best meals I’ve had in ages😍 try the Lindt chilli choc infused fillet, you won’t be disappointed

    Firstly the manager from the kitchen is great he's a really nice guy. However we arrived at 6:30 table of 20 took 20 minutes to get drinks and got served at 8 food arrived 80% of the dishes were lackluster I had a nacho pizza with doritos instead of nachos for R200? It wasn't horrific but it wasn't great my wife had the steak strip pasta here's where the issue started I would not feed this R160 tiny dish to my dog it honestly tastes like what u imagine canned dog food to taste would not recommend. Overall overpriced for what u get poor service mostly okay food definitely 2/10 only a 2 Starr cause the manager I'd really friendly it's a shame our waiter barely speaks English
