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.

We always start with the agedashi tofu and edamame beans, followed by a selection of rolls and sashimi. The ingredients are fresh, service swift and efficient, and even though we eat our fill the bill is always under R500 each including wine and beer. Great night out.

We love Obi - the food is always fresh and delicious, the service is warm and attentive, there is a lovely chilled vibe to the place, and it is always a pleasure to see Papa San's smile. For some reason, it fell off our radar for a couple of years, but now it is back at the top of our list of favourite spots. Thank you!
