    Best restaurant I've tried so far in Accra and one of the best sushi I've had. Highly recommended. We went with my wife on a Sunday lunch without reservation and we had the Santoku tasting menu + a bottle of South African white wine. No wait to get a table despite not having reservation. Food overall was extremely high quality: Super fresh ingredients (with a wide variety of seafood taking part of the menu) with an awesome combination of flavors. - The good: Second dish of sushi was perhaps the best ones I've ever had (particularly the Unagi one). The ceviche was also quite impressive with a great balance of flavors (spiciness and citrussy). - Opportunities: The scallop dish was quite good but perhaps a bit of crunchiness was missing on the dish. The meat dish...not sure what it was doing on this tasting menu; I feel that whilst the menu had very good dishes, there wasn't too much thougth put into the order or which ones made more sense to include (meat dish took out of balance the experience and it was too much to finish with). -Service was quite attentive. Haven't seen this ratio of waiters to tables in a long time. - Atmosphere was relaxing with very high-quality live music. Definitely made me enjoy more the experience. Would recommend and will come back.

    I was here for dinner with some colleagues. They have 6pm and 9pm. What it means is that 6pm will have to vacate tables for 9pm guests. Not too awesome especially when you are having a good time with friends, colleagues and family. We had a variety of meals and it was all very nice and tasty. The cocktails were nice. Service was top notch. We didn't even have to lift a head. There was always someone to attend to us. This is surely a place I will love to visit over and over again.

    We went without reservation and they were kind to let us in, the food was good, the only problem is the very slow service for a kind of food that usually doesn’t take time to prepare

  • 4/5 Ersin A. 1 month ago on Google • 73 reviews New
    Food and atmosphere is outstanding. Services need for improvement. The price is standard according to this kind of restaurant. Miso soup is small and don't include Shintake Mushroom.

  • 5/5 Joshua B. 2 years ago on Google
    I can’t help but award this restaurant 5 stars. It is at an international standard. I had some of the most interesting and delicious sushi I have ever eaten, who would have thought such a place existed in Accra? The ambience was fantastic with a live band playing some international classics. I am a big cocktail fan and these cocktails did not disappoint me, all crafted in a premium fashion with love and care. I hinted that my old fashioned would taste better with a cherry and the waiter took note and the cherry was on there on the next order. The staff are polite and courteous. I felt very welcome and felt the staff were very concerned that I enjoyed my entire experience. I will definitely be back when traveling to Accra again and I would recommend it to anyone looking to unwind and escape their busy schedules. Thank you!!

    Excellent service. Everyone was polite, friendly, and accommodating. The food was good. The atmosphere is quiet, attractive, and very clean. The meal averaged 250 GHS a person (about 50 USD at the time I'm writing this). I would go again if asked, and would recommend to someone looking for a fine dining Japanese restaurant, but there wasn't anything about the experience that would make me abandon a casual, cheaper spot to enjoy similar cuisine.

    Absolutely delicious, we had so many different things - little taste explosions - they all came out super fast! The staff were great and really attentive! Covid related safety measures were in place including disinfecting the table before we sat and disciplined mask wearing by the staff (also covering the nose).

    The service was excellent right from making a reservation till the very end. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and she gave great recommendations. I tried roughly eight dishes but I’ll share photos of my absolute favourites. The 5 star options for me were the Diced Grilled Beef with Nasubi and the Sushi and what I’ll rate 4 stars are the Pork Gyoza, the Salmon Sashimi Salad. I had a great experience!

    The hotel where I stayed recommended this Japanese Restaurant in Accra. If I had not looked at it on line, I would not have guessed it to be Japanese, since you don't expect a hotel in Accra to recommend food that is not African. So when I arrived I was a bit skeptical about the food I would get. We ordered some Shrimp Tempura, and it was not very good at all. It was not done the traditional way, and so I think the chef missed the boat on this dish. We got Pork Gyoza and Shrimp Gyoza, and the pork was good, and the shrimp a bit strange. We ordered California Rolls, Teriyaki Chicken, and Grilled Shrimp, and these three dishes were all delicious. Overall it was a very good experience and the food was mostly delicious. Service is also very good, and the restaurant and the bathrooms are all very clean.

    The restaurant was really nice very good ambience. But the restaurant has to improve on these:- There were no napkins on our table. Once we finished our order the waiter came back to tell us that the tortilla Bread wasn't there for cerviche and that we needed to order something else which led to a hasty decision of chicken wings which were just normal fried chicken wings, the waiters need to be well trained on the menu to order similar dishes when a dish is not available also give clients more info on the dishes. Once we were done with the lunch we ordered desert which took ages to arrive but once it did arrive it looked spotless and tasted amazing. A 10% service charge is automatically added to all bills irrespective of the service quality this has to be at the discretion of the customer and not a compulsory feature. All in all the some food was amazing but the service was a quite slow and I feel improvements could be made on Battera were the rice was very soggy and also the sushi bite sizes could be made a bit more regular and bite size and not falling apart.

    Definitely luxurious and pricey but the food and overall ambience is worth the money, if you can afford. Their customer service is one of the best in Accra and the food will please your taste buds leaving you eager to visit Japan. They have a variety of menu options but their pork belly and prawn tempuras happen to be my favorite items on their.. oh and for desert, finish your course with their yuzu cheesecake.

    My third time here and I think this place is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Ghana. The food was amazing but quite pricey, great customer service and the ambiance was very calm and relaxing. Their Shokubutshu cocktail is definitely worth trying.

    Was craving sushi and decided to come out here with my husband and we had a very pleasant night. Never disappointed with the quality of Salmon and rolls! 🍣😍 Also highly recommend the Japanese Gnocchi and Miso Soup as starters. However, I would add that one thing I thought could be improved was if the waiters could be a bit more attentive to customer requests, as we kindly asked them twice if they could pack something for us as takeaway after we finished our meal, but alas when we got home we found it was not there in the bag. Another thing to note—they apparently don’t take American Express cards, but do take any other VISA debit cards. Third thing to note is, this was the second time I’ve called in and got a different answer compared to when I show up to the restaurant (not needing reservations vs. not accepting walk-ins, time of the kitchen closing vs. it being closed already)—so be prepared for that also when calling into the restaurant.

    I was here a while back and had the experience was excellent. Well last night wasn’t the same. The rib eye wasn’t so great. The meat wasn’t tender but the sushi was good. Over all it’s still one of the finest dining places in Accra.

    Amazing food, I got the lamb chops which were so succulent and seasoned so well. Also got the crazy California sushi which was really well made. The cocktails could be a little bit more stronger but overall amazing service and really lovely place to go for dinner, I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a nice place to eat in Accra

  • 4/5 Kay S. 3 years ago on Google
    Booking a reservation was super easy . Saw on their socials they had a combo menu but arrived only to be told it was for delivery; felt blindsided because that wasn’t made clear 🙃. Aside that the sushi was super fresh . Not a sashimi fan but braved it . Hated the scallops tho . Not as fresh . Had a main of chicken teriyaki which was amaze balls and side of fried rice ; and the chefs black rice & egg which was not great cs of the oilll . Still an experience.

  • 4/5 Afiba D. 3 years ago on Google
    For years, it was my favorite restaurant in the city. I'd still vouch for their sushi and lunchtime menu any day! But something's changed and I can't quite put a finger on it. The food still tastes good no doubt. I still think they make the best sushi in Accra. But it took over an hour for my drink to arrive just to discover that they got the order wrong and when prompted, they just took it back and took another good 30-45mins to bring the right one. By which time I was done eating and in no mood to hear their apology. The management may have changed after the lockdown and that may account for the lapse in service. However if you want an intimate and serene place to dine or lounge to some live music on a Thursday evening, think Santoku It's a shame they don't have the white chocolate cheesecake anymore. It was the best thing.

    I am very disappointed and upset. Before going to santoku, I called to make a reservation and also enquire on their timings. The guy who answered told me the kitchen closes at 3pm and reopens at 6pm but the bar would still be opened. I then asked if we would be allowed in since the kitchen would be closed and he said yes we would be allowed for drinks. After, I asked if we had to make any reservations, he answered no, we didn’t have to.. We could just walk in. So I thanked him and hanged up. My friends and I got to the venue about 4:30pm only for one staff to rudely tell us “go and come back at 6pm, kitchen is closed” That was the reply we got when all we had said was “hello”. I then told him I called early and was told to come. He then directed one lady staff to us who gave us a seat outside. She later brought the drinks menu and left. Few mins later, the rude guy came to where we were seated and stood for about a minute or two without saying a word. I then noticed he wanted us to call out our order. His tone and body language was so rude! The drinks were served and I must confess they were juicy. At 6pm, my friends and I decided to go in so we have dinner only to be denied entry because we didn’t make a reservation! Really!!! I told the guy at the entrance I was told reservations wasn’t needed when I called earlier. He just brushed me off and told one lady to book us. After booking I told him their call service agent needs training because this is so disappointing. As a “customer service personnel”, I would have apologized to the customer but no, he didn’t even care.. I was so upset I just had to leave without having dinner with my friends.

    It's on the ground floor of a tall building (I don't know of the building has a name) I attended a birthday dinner there, I don't know the prices of the food but the food was amazing, their sushi was very good! They have very courteous staff and good ambience. There's an outer area that can also be used for long table reservations. I had a good time and didn't leave there until midnight.

  • 4/5 Nhyiraba A. 2 years ago on Google
    One star missing because they seemed under-staffed (one waiter had to serve 4 tables). Then again, the place was busy because it was Good Friday. Overall great service. The food was delicious!! I'll definitely be back soon. P.S. You'll need to call ahead to reserve a table.

  • 4/5 Jennifer M. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered some sushi to go, while waiting at the bar, we had some drinks and they were ready good. My first time of Javi a spicy cocktail and I really enjoyed it. The sushi was good too but I would recommend you add something extra to the order of sushi since a plate is about 5 small rolls. Location is good, I must say buy more publicity would not be a bad idea as it took as a minute to locate the entrance whilst it was right under our noses 😂

    Overpriced and underwhelming! Service was lack luster, there was no identifiable crab in the crab rice, gyoza was tasteless and food overall average at best. I was even incorrectly charged and it took quite some effort for the bill to be amended. I won't be returning here! Very disappointing!

    The service was great. We have the hot tasting menu and some starters. A number of the dishes were pretty salty.

    Tasty food, great atmosphere and well trained staff. I find the price/value balanced very well compared to majority of the high end restaurants in Accra. Would definitely recommend to try Santoku at least once.

    I enjoyed everything I ate but the cheesecake. Great service overall and they still honored our reservation even though we were late. I appreciate that.

    Loved it here ...the owner and staff were warm and welcoming, the food was great , ambience was topnotch too. Thoroughly enjoyed the fried squid and the the shrip fried rice too. The appletini cocktail was lovely. Great place to have a quiet evening .

    Great dining experience. Reservations are required. Situated in the heart of Accra. Great outdoor seating as well as an indoor one. Oh you can see the chefs prepare your sushi dish. Most of the staff are nice and friendly, even when I reserved an outdoor seating one time and couldn't take the smoke from smokers arrangements were made to fit in an inside table. When it comes to pricing it's not a cheap restaurant however worth the price in my opinion.

    Pricey compared to other places around town but great atmosphere, top quality Japanese food and a quick walk from Accra mall. Spare rib baozi was amazing. *Outside seating available, no shorts or hats allowed inside. Reservations recommended*

    Food was excellent but they trickled in per person and as we were in a group, some finished eating before others were served

    I won’t lie, I was a little weary about eating sushi in Ghana but we finally decided to try Santoku. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. Rolls, sashimi, fried rice, tempura all super yummy. You should be aware there is a dress code, mainly for men (no shorts no flip flops). We went with kids and they didn’t seem to be too concerned my son was in shorts. It’s also quite pricey but sushi usually is. The ambiance was great. Service was excellent and food came out timely (which I very much appreciate). We were two families and went when it opened at 6 on a Sunday and it was very quiet. I think Fridays and Saturdays it can be quite busy. Because we were a big group we made a reservation. If you’re looking for sushi in Accra, I can definitely recommend Santoku!

    Atmosphere - it felt romantic, expensive. I like the ambient lighting except I could hardly read the menu I had to turn the light on my phone. Service - superb! Couldn’t ask for more. Food - I enjoyed the different sashimis (tuna, snapper, squid, and scallops). I had the shrimp salad as well which was a bit of a let down. The shrimp itself was good but the entire salad was smothered with strongly flavoured dressing I could no longer enjoy the freshness of the greens. The beef skewers with Korean sauce was okay but would probably not order it again. The beef cubes however was great. The chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream was spot on. Overall, I would come back to try the other dishes.

    Service was first rate. Food was good. I ordered a certain type of whiskey and they served me rot gut. I was with a large group so I did not make a fuss. Please don't chop my whiskey.

    I came here after I was not able to get my reservation at skybar, and I am so happy I went here instead. I never knew of the place but my driver recommended it. We sat outside which was very beautiful. We ate sushi and noodles, I totally recommend the african roll it is soooo good! The service was up to par, my server was very nice and made sure we were comfortable. This place is quite expensive that is the only con I have, other than that I would rate my experience a 10/10

  • 1/5 Julia J. 3 months ago on Google New
    Extremely disappointing food and drinks, especially for the price point. Service was okay. It honestly feels like the fanciness of the restaurant is just for show but the food is underwhelming. Mind you we went for Christmas eve dinner so I was expecting everything to be amazing only to be disappointed

    We stumbled upon this across my hotel in Accra and had a wonderful afternoon lunch had sake had rock shrimp had spicy octopus and sauteed mushroom. Everything was full of flavor and excite taste buds and it was delicious. We spent a couple of hours just enjoying and stamping all the different options on the menu. This is literally across the street from the African regent hotel.

👍👍 Papaye remains the same today, tomorrow and forever. I really love the consistency and customer service. You are always assured of a great fried rice meal and juicy chicken. Ps: Always double check to make sure the cutlery has been placed in your takeaway.
