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.

    The first and last place we eat at when we are in town. Hands down the best sushi in town! The staff are always warm and welcoming too. Highly recommend booking if you are in Cape Town.

    We loved the food - it is delicious. The reason for the low star rating for the Service is because i feel rushed when I go to Obi. You barely finished with your last bite and the plate/s is removed from the table. That affects the ambience as well. Besides those 2 negatives, I do love their food. Heth
