    It's was a decent meal. The wasabi was mixed with something and a bit moist but I liked it. The salmon was good, it wasnt too tasty though and the partner enjoyed the dim sum and veggie spring rolls. Seems like a summer place as it was cold. The fried prawn chips was a bit oily. I think it's a good place but I prefered the branch they had in town.

    If you usually eat nice sushi and you like nice sushi, don’t go there!! The price is low, and the quality more! They charged me 5 pieces of maki that I leaved becouse the taste was like poison..

    Usually a great franchise today there was only 1 front of house server under a lot of pressure and 1 sushi chef. We waited very long. Otherwise very nice setting and a bit of focus on quality of service will.be excellent.

    They don't serve water? Like why! Rather go to Best of Asia in Table Bay Mall.

  • 2/5 Francois R. 5 years ago on Google
    The sushi is average, the service is bad, and the saying of "the customer is always right" does not apply here.

  • 3/5 Tyron van T. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 David S. 5 years ago on Google
    The food was perfect, great and attentive service. We ordered more than we could eat for lunch and now we also have some delicious food to eat tonight. Recommend this place to anyone. If I could give it ten stars I would. The staff and food complemented each other so well.

  • 1/5 Paul G. 6 years ago on Google
    Sushi was horrible. Even for the cheap price. Tryed a couple of dishes but everything was disappointing. Don't know how you can make such horrible food.

    Sushi is great but take away waiting time is slow.

  • 3/5 Shaun H. 6 years ago on Google
    Visited here with friends and family. Food is well priced, had the sushi buffet and was able to eat a good amount. Sushi is fresh, but have had better. Ambiance is not bad and the service is also satisfactory. Would visit again when in need of a sushi fix.

  • 5/5 Curtis B. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best sushi restaurants in the table View area. The quality of the fish is superb and their turnaround is relatively fast averaging about 20 minutes for a large order. The proximity to the beach is very good however the outdoor seating does not have a sea view. This is a favourite stop for me to collect takeaway sushi and the the team is very friendly. They serve the usual variety of water, soft drinks, SAB beers, wine and a small variety of gin, brandy and whisky.

  • 5/5 Louis V. 3 years ago on Google
    Best value Sushi in the area. Excellent chefs and friendly staff. Sushi is always fresh. My grandson loves the Sushi and the friendly staff.

  • 1/5 Ashleigh S. 4 years ago on Google
    Really not impress by the food standard. Opposite we have a bowl with cold water which means these prawns had to defrost before serving and look - The prawn isn't even properly cleaned and washed. Food is also tasteless, the cocktails are the best tasting thing. The chef isn't entirely consistent which is sad. Waiter service very good, could be better, but we are pleased. Dont think we will revisit.

  • 1/5 calyn b. 3 years ago on Google
    I usually don't write reviews especially if they are bad ones but this time I had to. I went out with my sister and our boyfriends, and we all had the buffet. We ordered what we wanted and everything was going fine; however, our waitress started sighing everytime we ordered something which made us feel bad to even place an order. She then got our orders wrong a few times which we overlooked because we did not want her to sigh again. To top things off she brought us our bill without asking for it and hid it behind her back when she got to our table. I am super upset will not be eating there again. So disappointing...

  • 5/5 Natasha A. 3 years ago on Google
    The best sushi chef in Cape town! Amazing food, freshly prepared and the fish super fresh!

  • 4/5 Paula J. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good Sushi, good value for money when you take the specials.

  • 1/5 Sean Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was disappointing, waited over an hour for only a quarter of my sushi to arrive. Rice was soggy which made the sushi not taste as fresh. Poor waitress is understaffed, but trying to keep a cool head. Owners don’t seem phased about poor service. Due to the COVID impact you would think the service and food quality would have been better. Overall 1/10 won’t be coming back here again.
