I had miso soup as a starter and then sushi everything was great. Very affordable almost like in Thailand prices.
Cozy and comfortable Asian restaurant!

This Chinese restaurant is definitely popular with the local Chinese community, on our visit we saw Chinese tour groups coming to dine, this must indicate it is AUTHENTIC Chinese as well as delicious I might add.  I had salmon roses to start, which tasted fresh and sizzling tofu stir fry for mains. It was very yummy!

Fantastic little authentic Asian restaurant with great service and really wonderful food. Tasty and fast. Great option. And the best if all it is really REALLY cheap. Fresh sushi on platters. Did I mention it was really good value for money.

Got the "B" sushi platter and fully enjoyed.
Place might look a bit old fashioned but it looked clean and that's the most important. Price and quality ratio is perfect. Will come back!

This is a great place for really good sushi! While the restaurant itself could use some work, as could the service, I bring friends and family here to try it out nonetheless.

Something about this place I just love. It looks like a place where mobsters hang out. But their Sushi is so good, their buffet is legit and the staff make you feel at home. So if you aren't up your own ass about decor. Go have fun.

Decently priced, average, everyday sushi and Chinese food.
Good value for money, lots of options from the traditional sushi to some experimental. It is freely made so takes a while when the place is full. They have a very average drinks menu with wines and beer, local and asian options.

I really enjoyed the Sushi here.. We wanted to try something different The Sushi was fresh and really tasty.. We did the all you can eat option where you start off with a platter of your choice to share with the table and then you can order as you like except they limit you on Salmon Roses and Sashimi but this is not uncommon at a sushi buffet. If your in the Sea Point area give then a try..

Hidden gem for excellent quality sushi. Sushi is also cheap in comparison with other similar restaurants and also Empire Asia doesn't have the typical video of a sushi joint. They could hire friendlier waitresses though.

Love it. The waitress was supper friendly and helpful. She gave us a run down of the specials and made some recommendations. The service was top notch and the food arrived quickly. The portions was a good size and the fish was fresh. I can definitely recommend it here. The tables was also spotless and overall the restaurant was emaculately clean. We will be back and bring our friends.

One of my favorite husy sushi spots Always fresh and delicious and still reasonably priced. Happy staff. Service can be slow for takeaways, so call first and sit down is good. Simba is my favorite waiter.

I felt that we got what we expected here, which was basic, good Chinese food. I can't speak on the sushi as we didn't order that. I had the "lychee flavored pork" but to me, it was hard to taste anything lychee about it and if you had told me it was sweet and sour pork I would have said "yes". But I love sweet n sour pork anyway so I enjoyed it. I did ask my waitress but her English was not great so I have no idea if she understood what I was asking. My husband ordered the crispy beef silk chili, and unfortunately it also came with a sweet n sour sauce but on the side. Luckily the sauce was on the side as my husband hates that sauce. However without sauce he felt his beef was a bit dry. And again, because the waitress was so hard to communicate with, he didn't bother asking if he could get another sauce. The portions were huge! Great value for money. Chinese people were eating there so the food must be authentic. The biggest complaint is that there are no explanations on the menu of what the dishes are, and with the waitress not being any help we felt a bit in the dark. But she was friendly and efficient. Go there if you are familiar with Asian food or want to try authentic street side cafe Asian food.

They have a good verity of sushi with a good mix of platters. They have been around for years and have always served good sushi and it's totally worth the wait as everything is prepared fresh. Some of the tables are too high for the seats which can be uncomfortable for shorter individuals. Bookings are accepted but not essential. Parking is limited on the street and the place is wheelchair accessible.

Have been here many times over the years & the sushi was always lovely. My favourite is Platter A. Never been disappointed. The younger members of the family have brought many friends here over the years and all enjoyed the sushi, which is not smothered in mayonaisse & sauces which seems to be the in thing in many sushi restaurants.
