    First time at Yuma, have been to 0ku 3 time. Have to say the service was laking from our waiter who kept disappearing on us. We had to find out water and ask the other waitress for assistance whenever needed. Food was decent overall. The duck wonton pastry was a bit hard and the dish was cold so a bit unpleasant. The cocktails was delicious but extremely sweet, I ordered a soda water to dilute it. Overall unlikely to return better places to get sushi for the price comparison. Really struggled to part with the 12% tip, asked if the tips were pooled first to make me feel better. Managers were good.

    Beautiful restaurant in Franschhoek serving incredibly delicious Asian food. Besides sushi there are other asian inspired dishes, all excellent! The setting is beautiful, wine good, service is impeccable, our maitre'd Emmanuel was professional, friendly and should be considered an asset to this establishment. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back again!
