Reviews

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.

Most authentic Japanese food by far in Cape Town. Hot soba noodles tasted just like those you get in little shops in Tokyo. Sushi was beautiful and fresh and the tempura was crisp and golden. Wonderful servers and great vibes. Highly recommend!
