Ōku Asian Eatery is a Southeast Asian-inspired restaurant situated on Franschhoek’s main road.

The restaurant interior is inspired by the minimalistic design popular in the traditional Asian culture with delicate artwork and unique bonsai trees decorating the walls of the restaurant.

The team guided by Ryan Shell has created an ever-evolving menu that showcases traditional Asian-themed tones in a respectful manner whilst using high-quality local and seasonal produce. Our passionate front-of-house team is driven to deliver excellence in all aspects of service whilst displaying empathy for all of our guests by attending to their needs and desires.

Our wine list is focused on local wineries from in and around the valley as well as a selection of cocktails and sakes, including our own house brand beer-styled sakes.

The dining experience is completed with instrumental music that evokes a sense of calmness in our guests that enables them to unwind and relax.

    We had the kaiseki menu. Lots of food, beautifully plated. But only 2 of 12 dishes were strikingly good, and several were not interesting at all. Service was friendly but a bit chaotic and certainly not polished. We expected something much better at this price point.

    The menu blends modern Asian flavours with a creative twist, with beautifully presented dishes that are as impressive visually as they are on the palate. The atmosphere is intimate and stylish, making it perfect for a special occasion.
