    Korean and Japanese restaurant running by Korean owner. This restaurant have nice kids play area. There is a shop where you can find some Korean food just next to the restaurant.

    I absolutely love the food here. It's so good and the service is even better. It has an old vibe to it in terms of decor but the food is spectacular. We had the Korean beef which is so delicious. They make it on your table. It is so flavorful. Also had the noodles and they are wonderful if you love seafood. I would highly recommend the Korean beef. Will be back!

    Came here for my sister's birthday because she really wanted to try Korean and Japanese dishes. The food was amazing,the service as well,our waiter (Mejja) was outstanding. He catered to our every need till we left. We had kimbap,fried chicken,rice,some soup,pork and of course some soju to wash it down. They are just by the road which is convenient and their prices are pocket friendly as well. Highly recommend it.

    Lovely restaurant, authentic asian cuisine, super friendly and helpful staff, there's a convenience shop inside too. Best fries I've ever had. The cherry on top is free bottomless side dishes and soup 👍.

    Had a good experience here. I wanted my person to try korean cuisine so we ordered dumplings (mandu) porkbelly and gimbap. Plus 2 shakes. We were full, and even carried some dumplings home since we couldn't finish. But I wish the porkbelly portion can be increased?🙈🙈. All in all, we loved our experience. Definitely coming back!! Ps. I didn't take many photos of our food but ilikuwa poa sana na tulishiba.

    Was missing my weekly sushi binge, whilst I was back home (🇿🇦). Found Sushi Soo online, that served some popular dishes. I enjoyed the salmon and tuna nigiri platter.

    It was good until they saw I ordered a lot of food and demanded I pay the bill before I started eating my sushi. What a way to let me know you don’t trust that I can afford my meal. They said it’s because the boss was leaving but she stayed until I was down eating so… very uncomfortable.

    An actual Korean-ish bbq restaurant in Nairobi! Pretty good too. Amazing Korean grocery store adjoining. We had a lovely BBQ and followed it with amazing melon ice cream from the shop to have on the drive home.

    The best Korean restaurant. They also have the Korean market in the vicinity. So excited to visit again. Everything is fresh. Samgyupsal experience is on point . $$ price but it's worth it. The sides are delicious. Especially if you love kimchi theirs are fresh and good quality. Worth it.

    Although it says Japanese Restaurant, it is now mostly Korean. Korean delicacies are available to satisfy your needs, was warmly welcomed by the staff who were super friendly and ushered me around. The place is cool, quiet and very welcoming. However, I was not able to find most of the ingredients needed to make homemade Kimchi at the super market. Apart from that, totally satisfied with the service and pricing.

    I had lunch with a friend here the other day and I was very pleasantly surprised by how amazing our experience was. The marinated beef was spectacular, the Korean fried chicken to die for and the pork katsu hit all the best spots. A 10/10 on every level! The soju was delicious as well-and quite potent haha. Our server was the nicest human being as well, so patient and knew the menu inside out and helped guide us on what to order.

    The food quality wasn't as advertised. Everything was cold except the rice. I was left with a bad taste and stomach discomforts

  • 5/5 Abdiaziz M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had perfectly cooked fried rice, sea food noodles, Japanese udon noodles with meat chunks and Korean barbecued chicken and beef, Kimchi. Everything I had was new but the experience was worth it. The staff were welcoming too.

  • 5/5 Kai “The Mad S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for my birthday lunch. Didn't realise the menu items would be so filling so we ordered a lot. It's a nice place to go for Korean or Japanese food. There are dine-in options as well and the tables are separated so some social distance is maintained. The ambiance was awesome. There's also a nice playground for kids. I loved the visit overall. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

    (Translated by Google) First time at this restaurant. Friday. There are not many people. At first it surprised me, and then it pleased me. Excellent cuisine and no one screams, does not interfere. A mixture of Korean and Japanese cuisines. By the way, I first tried spicy food in Kenya. To the best and pleasant. According to friends, Pts correct roles and sushi. I ate seafood soup. It is 5 points. On the street you can smoke. Or at a table on the veranda. Recommend. Opened for one year, we may not all know it yet. (Original) Первый раз в этом ресторане. Пятница. Народу не так много. Сначало удивило это, а потом порадовало. Отличная кухня и никто не кричит, не мешает. Смесь из корейской и японской кухонь. Кстати, впервые попробовал в Кении острую пищу. В меру и приятную. По словам друзей, оч правильные ролы и сушими. Я ел суп из морепродуктов. Вполне на 5 балов. На улице можно покурить. Или за столиком на веранде. Рекомендую. Открыт один год, мож ещё не всё его знают.

  • 2/5 Sharer S. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately, my experience was quite underwhelming. The crab maki rolls were but good super tiny, the squid was bland, and the gyoza flavorless so much that we had to really indulge in the soy sauce to make the whole meal palatable. The kimchi was nice but 2.5/5

  • 5/5 Jawahar L. 2 years ago on Google
    We were told the food is not so good.. BUT we still took chance and ordered almost 8 different dishes.. And every dish was better then the other .. plus it was not too busy so service was excellent and very reasonably priced.. we will keep visiting this place ..

  • 4/5 Aaron C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Japanese and Korean food. The most notable experience was the Korean bbq wich was delicious and flavourful. The sushi train may have been closed but no worries it was still great

  • 5/5 Eddie A. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant in Nice with nice staff but for me the highlight was the grocery store attached which has unique food options for sale.

  • 4/5 Fatma A M. 9 months ago on Google
    Everything was perfect apart from the raw fish smell due to unloading of stock that was going on. There is nothing special about the fried chicken just normal fried chicken but their espresso shake is to die for, I drank 2 glasses and I wanted more it’s just that I was full to the brim

  • 5/5 Carren B. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a lovely time. Apart from the sushi I had their deep fried dumplings and glass noodles. I wasn't a fun of the noodles. Service was amazing and a plus on the ambience. Am definitely going back for the barbecue and a couple of other dishes. Try the sushi guys you will fall in love. Oooh there's a supermarket with authentic goods. I got the jinro soju from there,just try it!!

  • 5/5 Brian M. 4 months ago on Google
    We had dinner at Sushi Soo today, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Chef Kisangi introduced us to his proprietary plantain and pineapple sushis, which we highly recommend. The food was awesome and the service was perfect. Will definitely visit again.

  • 4/5 Ateeq K. 4 months ago on Google
    TLDR : go for the food and not the place The food was really good, especially if you like Korean food (it is a korean / Japanese restaurant after all). The food variety is good and all of the dishes i ordered tasted unique, the sushi was amazing and the free small sides of Kimchi they brought were great and you get a free refill of them as well. The service was great and their servers were so kind and welcoming. The establishment had a small play ground outside which is great if you have young kids. Apart from that, the place I feel is poorly designed in terms of their aesthetic choices. The decor could do with some serious work Overall a great place for the food at decent prices. Their interior needs some work. But would still recommend to friends and family Have a wonderful day

  • 2/5 Marta Huertas G. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was bland and underwhelming, quality of the food was surprisingly bad, even the lettuce was wilted. Waiter was either really depressed or hates his job. Overpriced for what is served. Terrible experience, will not be going back. Shame

    The crunch rolls are the best we've had, in Kenya. We asked them to make the Soba noodles spicy, with chicken and veggies. It was on their old menu and we always ask for it and it is absolutely DELICIOUS.

  • 5/5 Alex V. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent Korean dishes which we had to share. The portions are quite generous so we ordered too much in the end. Would come back if we lived in Nairobi, so recommended. The KFC was a little too sweet so ask for free the sauce on the side.

  • 5/5 Georgina G. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing Korean fried chicken and really good tempura fries.

  • 4/5 Nica Hyunjung J. 4 years ago on Google
    Bulgogi and fried chicken were delicious but little bit salty for me. There was playground for kids so my son enjoyed. We could find most of Korean stuff in the Korean market inside the restaurant.
