The Prawn Stir Fry is amazing! Generous portion, very filling and enough prawns. This was one of the best meals I've ever had at this franchise. Thank you to the chef and the waitress who served us - she was attentive and helpful despite us being in a rush. Great service and experience. Well done!
Excellent quality food and great Sushi. Service is always top marks. Canal walk is our best Fish Market!
We had a sushi lunch. The food was amazingly fresh! The service was great! I ordered my favourite prawn nigiri and wasabi parcel as always. It's just with the wasabi on the wasabi parcel was a bit overpowering but everything else was amazing! Will definitely go again to try other dishes!
The service and the food was exceptionally great. I nibbled on most of my colleague's food and it was all great. The clams were heavenly, the sushi was also divine. My beef ribs were alright but I was already full from nibbling.
My.partner and I went to CTFM Canal Walk on Thursday evening to kick off the weekend. Friendly reception at the entrance and we opted to sit at the belt. Two very friendly sushi chefs were busy prepping. As usual, the seared tuna roses were amazing, as well as the sashimi. I enjoyed the bean curd nigiri - everything tasted very fresh and great care was taken with the preparation thereof. Our server was also friendly and attentive, without being overbearing.
My partner enjoyed his philadelphia rolls tremendously. They may be slightly more expensive than some of the other chains (ocean basket/asami), but the quality is incomparable - Special mention and kudos to the two sushi chefs who delivered excellent service and went out of their way to ensure we were taken care of - they were outstanding.
Made a turn at the CTFM in Canal Walk and opt for the sushi “train”. As per usual, the sushi is fresh and tasty. I posted a picture of the jalapeno poppers! Oh my, it is hot and good! Go and try it out!
Went here for 1/2 price fish and chips on a Monday. It's a special and they know it, but not in the way you'd expect; the beer battered hake was exactly what you'd expect - tasty, a decent portion and extremely succulent but served with less than a handful of chips. The service was good which made for an overall decent experience. Not something I'd pay full price for though.
They get a 5 from me due to the fact that we ordered a sushi platter plus a side of additional 4 pieces and when the waiter came with the platter he said he would be back with the rest but when we counted we had more than what was on the platter. The manager came over and advised that due to the confusion with the waiters he would get us four more of the sides we ordered complementary. That is what I call service and taking ownership but I must admit the sushi was very stunning. Will definitely come back with that service.

The menu is the most inviting thing in the world 😂💔 wow but actually the food is good. Also their service is so warm, we were honestly being pampered😩😭❤️ wow anyway I liked their sushi.
I can always expected to be satisfied here, sushi was fine, wonderful chocolate desert , wide selection of drinks and professional, friendly service.
Webster was our waiter and we got great service from him. My friend and I went for the Monday special, I ordered the 200g hake (grilled) and my friend got the chicken burger. At first glance my hake looked too small and like it wouldn't be filling but I was very full after eating it. The fries were fresh and not oily, just perfect. My friend and I halved our meals and the chicken burger was a bit on the bland side, although soft and tender. Great decor and ambiance. Great presentation of food but a bit on the bland side. Will be back for the milkshakes!
Certainly one of the better franchise restaurants in the country. They've done a lot to make the entire experience a little more sophisticated and the food certainly looks more appealing and also tastes better than other seafood franchise restaurants.
Always been a big supporter of CTFM and we decided to treat ourselves today. John was an amazing waiter, very friendly and checked on us every few minutes. We ordered the Coronita cocktails not realizing they “serve 2”. Delicious, worth the money. Food was great and very fresh, will return soon, especially if John can serve us again.
Been a while since I had such a good meal, Prawn tacos, sushi and beef ribs 😋.
We just had to thank the sushi chefs on our way out which to our surprise was all woman. We all had a laugh about it 🤣 in the end. The whole meal was very well prepared 100% sushi was fresh , beef ribs was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be coming back and keep up the good work guys from the waiters to the chefs 👨🍳
Beautiful views from the restaurant, even at night. Friendly staff. The seafood platter I ordered was dry. The presentation was not appetizing. Everything was just cramped into one small plate. I enjoyed the wine more than the food. My cousin ordered steak, and it was very delicious.
Everything was great 👌🏼
Friendly staff and delicious food we tried California rolls - Tempura fried - Seafood noodles - prawns tacos 🌮 🦞
And we like it
Highly recommended 🫶🏼
Food was yum I ordered the exec platter, service is a bit slow and one of their card terminals didn't work so had to wait a bit to pay. Otherwise service is friendly and efficient enough. Good setting, not expensive. And great for pop in when you feel like having options other than fish! Their meat dishes are tasty too.
Enjoyed a lovely family dinner. Good food, good service and good vibes.
Had salmon sashimi (tasted good but inconsistently cut) and the Mixed Poke Bowl (salmon, tuna & prawns). Would be great if the white sushi rice was replaced with black rice to elevate the dish. It would be far tastier.
All in all, another pleasant experience at CTFM V&A Waterfront.
This place as its name mentions is specialised in fresh seafood products. On top of the classical menu, they also offer a large variety of sushi as well. Ideal place for a family feast!
We were seated immediately and our waiter knows how to sell a dish. Was not disappointed. Ordered the Kalk bay platter and few sides. Gosh the calamari was amazing and the prawns was huge and fresh. You could tell it just came from the pan to my plate. Wish there were 10 stars.... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
My brother and I ordered steaks. Mine was overcooked. His was raw.
Only after we sent it back, they got it right.
The food was delicious but we were disappointed because of the time and effort wasted with the initial dishes.
We love the V&A branch and they set the standard of service, so we expected the same.
The waitress didn't even acknowledge or apologise for the poor service.
The manager was nice though.
But why did it have to take all this to have a good experience first time?
I read the reviews on all the CTFM pages and was a bit hesitant about going at first, I literally went in with zero expectations, but as soon as we got there, we were warmly welcomed by the staff and immediately taken to our table, we asked to be seated on the outside (we booked a table) and oh my, the views were spectacular and the food was to die for, hot fresh and delicious. I think CTFM has the best prawns by the way. I loved every moment of being there and I would definitely recommend that people visit this branch. 10/10 well done
