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.

    I love Obi. It is one of my favourite restaurants. The food is exceptional. The prices seem to have gone up quite a lot recently but it is still worth it!

    Great experience with authentic Japanese feel. Food was excellent. One of the best miso soups we have tried. Winter special is a fantastic. Will be back.

    Been following Obi on Instagram for some time now. Visiting CT from JHB and my first stop was Obi. Everything I expected it to be. The food and service was 5 star. The Tempura was delicious and my fabourite of the night. Will be back!
