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.

    We always enjoy our time and the food at Obi. The food is as delicious as their service is attentive. They are very generous with their rolls and please consider this a warning (we meant this in the best possible way).
