    The Food (Sushi) and waiting period were exceptionally sub-par. We ordered telephonically and were told the order would take 40min. We arrived an hour after calling and still waited another 20min. to receive our order. The rice on the sushi was hard, and the portions were on average 1cm thin and falling apart. This after offering the restaurant the benefit of the doubt multiple times. Definitely room for improvement.

    Service is a little slow on Wednesday sushi night because of the demand. Go early. But food is always good.

    Second hand serviette, barely any wasabi and slow service. A nice way to celebrate a birthday. Keep it up.

    Before the upgrade the experience was not good. With the upgrade the experience was excellent. Warm and welcome atmosphere. Only comment is on the malva & milktart pudding. The combination does not work well. Rather serve it seperately.

    Stopped by for dinner after work in town. Very friendly service & an attentive waitress. The food was good - as expected. The restaurant is clean and you won't make a mistake to visit. I will remember this one on a next visit to Klerksdorp.

    Today I ordered the 12 JD prawn special for R129. The meal was exceptional. The prawns were basted in shellfish basting. The size was good, the shell came off easily, the flesh was firm and they were exactly like the LM prawns of old! The waitress, Rose, was efficient, very pleasant and professional. Gail, the manager was also very professional and helpful. The meal was indeed a bargain for the price. Well done John Dory's!!

    I still can't believe what I just experienced. Such excellent customer service and exquisite food. I'm so grateful. Thank you more especially to Phillip for being the darling that you are, I appreciate how you reached out to me after my last review, your efforts to follow up and making it a point to make up for last time. It shows that John Dory's cares about its customers and values them. I appreciate it. I'll definitely keep coming back.

    This used to be a great restaurant. Not any more. We waited endlessly and then the mains arrived before the starters. No sign of the waitress. Food is good but service is pathetic to non existent. Will sadly never go back.

  • 1/5 Yolande M. 2 years ago on Google
    Poorest service I got in a long time.. very disappointed.. table was dirty on arrival.. waiters switched and left us for more than half an hour unattended.. second waiter adviced us not to order sushi.. what's the use to go then.. then we waited for more than an hour for our food.. and waiter did not remove empty glasses from table.. she only removed it after first plate came.. she got the order wrong had to wait another half an hour for the rest of the meal.. had to ask for more serviettes.. the sushi was poor as well.. I struggled to use the chopsticks as it fell apart.. the last serving's rice was hot as well.. that was awfull.. do not think I will visit again anytime soon..

    Our waitress was excellent!! She was friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious. We went on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside so the weather and atmosphere was also perfect. LOVED IT

    Hi. I was in Klerksdorp recently for business. I wanted some oysters and searched restaurants that served oysters in Klerksdorp. John Dory's came up and I had a look at the menu. There were oysters on the menu. I drove to John Dory's Klerksdorp just to find no oysters. I thought Ill have to go without it and the waitress showed me to a table. I ordered wine from the wine list and waited. Five minutes later I was informed the wine I ordered was out of stock, so I left.

    I ordered a big catch platter the first one came with out all the advertised items it was sent back the second platter came I battled to finish the meal, the manager then offered to make me another platter I kindly refused why would I punish myself a third time. I must say the sushi and oysters we had was great, as well as serice

    We had a large platter. It was brilliant. The hake, oysters (side order) and calamari tubes were awesome. Thanks for restoring our faith in your food. The service was great, Dillon and Natasha were great.

    Service was rather slow. But the food was ok

  • 1/5 sune j. 2 years ago on Google
    It took 2 hours for them to bring our food, and then they forgot a few things in our order. This has been more than once that we have experienced the same situation, and the sushi was not quality that we're used to at John Dory's. Wait staff are talking to each other more than doing their jobs.
