Review Villa Bianca - Edenvale

Man oh man was I blown away by this place. Warm greetings from the staff and we were promptly seated. Huge variety of drinks to choose from. We had a couple of cocktails before moving to some beers. Offered a lemon sorbet palate cleanser as soon as seated as well as some chicken potstickers (soooo good that we ordered mains as well). Cocktails we had the blue kamikaze, cherry blossom G&T as well as the cosmo kiss for 2. Tried out the salmon popper sushi (beautiful), prawn tempura, chicken potsticker cashew nut and tomahawk ribeye(perfectly cooked and a must have with their signature sauce) and the best egg fried rice i have ever had. Our waitress Sinky was very attentive and made sure we were well looked after and our chef was also very friendly and on point. Will highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning in the near future. A little bit pricey but worth every cent!

Very high-end experience, I was welcomed with lemon sorbet palate cleansers upon arrival. Extreme variety of unique cocktails that are an experience on their own. Food presentation is next level and of a high quality. This is definitely a place to go to if you want to take your sushi experience to another level. It is more on the expensive side, but I feel it is worth it. The food is very high quality and the experience is worth the visit.

For starters, the food was amazing. The staff take really good care of you. You can tell that customer service is a priority at this restaurant. I absolutely loved the experience. Will go again !

I have been there 3 times since January! Every single time the food is absolutely incredible, the waiters and chefs are always so friendly and accommodating and I am able try something new dishes without the worry of if I would like it or not. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. It is worth the 45 minute drive for me!

Immersive experience eating in front of the chefs preparing your food. The food is prepared to a quality standard and the flavours amazing. Great atmosphere as well especially if celebrating a birthday. Definite must visit for locals and tourists.

Absolutely brilliant!! Hands down one of my best experiences, they tend to make you feel like you're family 💜 and they really go out of their way to make sure you are having a good and comfortable time

If you want more than just a place to eat but you crave an experience, be sure to book a a table here. Its ideal for a date night or even just a get together with close friend. The food was tasty en presented well. The selection of cocktails or drink is extensive and comes with extra flair. Worth the price you pay! Photos by Katherine Brits

Went the for the first time on Wednesday night, i was blown away by everything from the food to the service. Can't believe i walked past it for the so many years. Im definitely going to bring my girls and colleagues.

Today was my sons 12th birthday celebration and the staff were Fabulous! From the waitresses to the chef at the teppanyaki bar … they made his day SO special ! Thanks guys!

I had a wonderful experience at the sushi restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious! The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were unique and well balanced. The staff was very friendly and welcoming too. I especially enjoyed the variety of specialty rolls and the sushi bar. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great sushi experience!

Having heard non stop about how great they were, we decided to give them a shot. Overall, it was a decent experience and I certainly can’t complain about anything. I will admit, based on the hype, I was hesitant but it was enjoyable. Their veg protein bowl had ample protein so I was happy about that. A little on the expensive side but you’re getting quality ingredients and decent portions.

Excellent service, the waitress took good care of us and the entire experience was most delightful. The Sushi was the best ever, the meat was beautiful and tender.....the dessert, so fresh and tasty. All in all I'm a happy client.

Incredible experience. Mpilo is an excellent chef, the service was amazing, one of the best tasting food in Jhb.

I went there for dinner with my friend. We ordered: • Chicken Teppanyaki Bowl with egg fried rice and Teppanyaki sauce • Bang Bang Shrimp Roll • Sunset Roll • Calamari with rice noodles in Spicy Nut Style • Nutella Crepe Positives: 1. The Chicken Bowl was very good. The sauce was delicious and paired well with all the ingredients. The chicken wasn't as tender as expected but the dish was still highly enjoyable. 2. Their sushi were made and presented well. The Sunset Roll had great textures while the Bang Bang Shrimp Roll came with delicious sauces. The rice was well-cooked and the salmon was fresh. 3. Very tender calamari and the rice noodles were cooked perfectly. 4. We had an attentive waitress who gave us a good service. Negatives: 1. The "Tempura Prawn" in their sushi isn't made fresh but rather made in bulk prior and left in a bowl. They had no crunch nor flavour to them and the prawns tasted tough. 2. The rice noodles in Spicy Nut Style had good textures but was lacking in flavour. It wasn't spicy and needed something more to elevate its taste. 3. The Nutella Crepe was surprisingly dry. It was quite basic and overpriced. It could use some fruit or ice cream. Perhaps even something like citrus zest to cut the sweetness of the Nutella. Overall, this restaurant was enjoyable. You pay premium prices for elevated dishes. I would recommend a different method (other than bulk prepping) for making tempura prawns though; fry them fresh for any orders so they won't get tough/stale while adding another level of texture to a dish. Note: they have a great lunch special. See last couple of pictures

The food was absolutely amazing, the waiters well trained and very friendly. Being a very cold day, they offered us each a warm blanket and had the overhead heater on.

We celebrated my spouse's birthday at Yamitsuki and were very impressed with the service and food. The restaurant is bustling at all times, and I suggest you make a reservation if you want to sit outside. Prince, our waiter, was fantastic and knowledgeable. The food was presented well and tasted great.

A great Japanese restaurant with a modern twist. Traditional Japanese cuisine elevated to the next level. The menu includes fire sushi that is set alight at your table, smoked cocktails and desserts and bubble sushi. A number of vegetarian options also available. The food looks stunning and tastes amazing. Staff very friendly and attentive. Affordable prices. Inside sushi bar and outside seating. Gets busy on weekends so reservations are recommended. Highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely be returning.
