Karishma Rammanhor

A small cozy restaurant . The fried rice was oily and bland but the sushi is absolutely amazing. If you are craving sushi and you don't mind the steep prices, you must give this place a try.

Mariaan Schoeman

The miso soup was so divine. Also as mains the crispy chicken and Nabeyaki Udon was so divine.

Anita Jack

Fabulous sushi , but go there for the traditional Japanese dishes instead. Dobi mushi, Chawan mushi , Sukiyaki , Zaru Soba and Una Don to name a few.

Zane Beer

miso chashu ramen with the home made gyoza (dumplings ) - a MUST !!

Byron Jack

Try the pork belly with Japanese mustard . Awesomeness.

Anita Jack

Sukiyaki and chawa mushi here is awesome! Something different from just your usual sushi at a Japanese restaurant .

Byron Jack

Suki Yaki is awesome. Cooking with chop sticks. Is like spur with the hot plate. Authentic and yum.

Jacqueline Sampson

The tempura pumpkin , avo California rolls - heaven!

Probably the best Japanese food in Jozitown. The miso soup is quite something.

So disappointed! The waiters doesn't receive the tips... it goes to the manager ;( make sure u pay the waiter the tip in cash and in person.

Try the Tempura Maki . Mmm

WORST meal we had in S. Africa after traveling here for months. Hamachi fish was days old, colorless and tasted like rubber. Yamato prices are high but quality was low to poor! It's a rip-off!
