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.

    Great experience, overpriced ramen but tasty. Edamame were overcooked and under salted… pleasant sake. Overall … worth the visit

    The Kaiseki set menu is a great value experience! Everything from the miso soup starter to the dessert was flavourful and balanced.
