Sushi legend Hatsushiro Muraoka, fondly known as Papa San, joined forces with chef-partner Ben Bettendorf to open Obi on Long Street. We reported in May that the two saw Obi as an opportunity to showcase the clean flavours of Japanese cuisine, and this they do here with simplicity and skill.

    This was possibly the best dining experience I've had in my life. The food was top notch, staff were friendly and helpful and everything worked so well. Cannot recommend it enough.
