* I have subsequently discovered why the quality last time we ordered was so different. They are under new management/ownership. It really feels unfair that a new owner can take over an existing restaurant, change its name, change the menu and quality and keep all of the previously earned excellent reviews which now have no relevance to the current restaurant. Please be warned the excellent reviews preceding January 2023 were under a different owner and therefore really are not likely to be a good reflection of what you should expect. Original review from Jan 2023: I have been a huge fan of the sushi here for a long time....but today was just a dud. The sushi was covered in a sauce and not cut correctly. Really disappointed. Going to have to find a new sushi spot. When I asked what was up they seemed to think that I was complimenting the food. Rather confusing

The price is great.The food is fresh,as they have a big student following,so they turn over all the time.The father,mother,daughter & son combination,great service.They really try to please their customers.Will recommend any day.

Good first experience. Will definitely recommend and return for more delicious sushi.

Highly dissatisfied, and above all, MASSIVELY disappointed. I have supported this restaurant for years. I have ordered the pad thai before, which I ordered today as a comfort for being home and needing something nice to eat so i dont have to cook. The pad thai tasted NOTHING like it used to: BLAND, no flavour, and the noodles stale. I then asked if they could please make up for this inedible meal by rather sending me a thai green curry, I have never had a thai green curry this sweet in my life. It was was if my afrikaans great aunt had asian guests over and only heard that chilli was a thai ingredient... and to make up for her lack of knowledge she "sugar coated" it with leftover afrikaans pudding ingredients, nl, maizeena and condensemilk. My complaint was received with no real or genuine apology or comforting response. I was merely concerned that the chef wasnt doing his best tonight, but apparently there is something wrong with both my memory, and both me and my friend (who did a chef course in thailands) tastebuds.#chickenalaking texture with #sagopudding flavour, somebody should apologise to thailand. Hate to have to not support someone I have supported for years. Work on your customer service please.

Niu Niu is a hidden gem for sushi lovers. The moment you step in, the sleek ambiance sets the tone for a remarkable dining experience. What truly shines here is the sushi—fresh, flavorful, and expertly crafted. The restaurant owner, a delightful and welcoming lady, offers exceptional service. Each time I step into the restaurant, the atmosphere feels relaxed, making it easy to chat with friends Each piece of sushi at Niu Niu is a work of art. The fish is impeccably fresh, and the rice is perfectly seasoned. The chef's skill is evident in every bite, leaving you craving more.

I happened upon Shanghai Makimono purely by chance when my regular sushi spot was closed and it's become my go-to sushi spot. Massive potions of fresh, delicious sashimi, generous chef's special and California rolls which aren't stuffed with rice, and perfect presentation. I only ever order from Mr Delivery and I've never received a messy box. The portion in the picture cost me under R300, including delivery (excluding tip) so excellent value for money too.

The food was not nice we bought this stir fried beef it tasted like fake beef we had to throw it away and the sushi was not nice it had almost 5 ginger strips😡

Sushi was hardly edible, felt sick today. Sushi has too much rice making it extremely uncomfortable to eat. Sushi was really below standard and nothing to brag home about. We ordered the sushi buffet and the waitress watched us the whole time making it uneasy for us to eat and enjoy the time. Hygiene should also be pointed out, please do better. Call me if you need to discuss. Regards, Daniella
