Review Villa Bianca - Johannesburg

KRISTEN MOONSAMY

We had the sushi buffet special which is R250 per person eat as much as you like. Sushi was devine. The place is beautiful. However our waiter was disappointing we had ordered a bottle of water when we 1st arrived apart from our own individual drinks later on in the night the water was finished and we asked for a glass of water it must of been over 3 times we asked and it never came to the table

The best sushi I have ever had. Fantastic quality. Sushi ordering takes abit longer than other places but completely worth it. Great for date nights or with small groups. I would suggest making a reservation before going.

Food is always amazing, my favourite sushi spot in fact. Service is always great. Atmosphere is a bit stiff, except for the bar/smoke area. Bathrooms are always spotless.

First time visit, nice setup. Food is devine. There are wheelchair ramps, however there's two steps that don't have ramps. The inside is also a bit narrow to navigate a wheelchair around. Compliments to the chef because all the dishes we had were truly delicious. Serving size is a good portion and a bit on the pricey side, but it is worth it 100%. They got very busy, so I will recommend you book a table and because they are so busy service towards the end was a bit slow but our waiter was excellent and friendly and accommodating. It gets a bit loud, so if you don't like the noise, it might not be for you.

As usual, absolutely fantastic service, food and atmosphere. Villa Bianca is hands down one of the top restaurants to go to for a great sushi experience. The service is great and friendly and the restaurant is clean. Always good to make a booking if you want to go for dinner or lunch to ensure you have a table when you arrive.

Beautiful venue with flexibility to customize our event. Absolutely delicious food, starters , mains and dessert. The sushi platters are served with theatrics. The staff was attentive to our needs.

Top service and good food. We only went in for a light bite and all was good.

Tuna mushroom starter was delicious except for over-salted gnocchi. Seared salmon was cooked to perfection and very fresh and tasty. Service was friendly but our waitress spoke so quickly that we couldn't understand a word and had to keep asking her to repeat herself. The atmosphere and background music was pleasant and festive.

I went there for dinner on Sunday evening. I got the sushi buffet while the other 4 people ordered other dishes. Positives: The sushi buffet was well worth the R250. There was a huge selection of well-crafted sushi. The salmon was very fresh and each plate had great presentation. The T-Bone and Fillet on the bone were cooked perfectly and flambéd at our table. I highly recommend the medium rare fillet, it was divine. Their ribs were tasty and tender too, and the crumbed chicken salad was very enjoyable. Negatives: My waiter forgot about my sushi and I only got my first plate after about an hour. After that, each plate took about 15min of waiting, which wasn't too bad. The only plate I didn't enjoy was the "Sashimi squared", it had too much meat wrapped in Nori with no rice nor sauce. It was so dense and was difficult to finish. The starter calamari and salmon tartare tasted great but were overpriced considering the small portions. This is a lovely place that offers elevated sushi and premium cuts. It's a great restaurant for dates and special occasions; just ensure to book in advance, they are usually fully booked over the weekend.

The restaurant was busy when we came in around 7:30pm but the service was amazing throughout and Richard was just incredible! We all enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere!

The sushi here is worth it even though the portions on the buffet sushi are a lot like if I want to eat buffet sushi I want to taste variety now on round 2 I was already full. Couldn't finish my 3rd round. But i really enjoyed it

My cousin had her engagement dinner here last night, it was absolutely beautiful, set up was gorgeous, the food was delicious, they had tvs for display of some pictures of the couple, great space, lovely outside, stunning for pictures. The service was good. We had many waiters on hand offering drinks and clearing off tables. It was all round a beautiful and successful night.

Absolutely amazing experience! We have been here a few times now. Every time the food is amazing, their sushi is the best I've had. It has a very classy atmosphere. The only slight issue we've had is sometimes slow service from our waiter or unfriendly waiter. However I would go back for the sushi even if I had to wait an hour. Would highly recommend

As a party of 16, we booked a private dining room and were treated to the most exquisite dining experience. Every order which included entres, mains as well as desserts, were made to perfection. Although a little pricey, the quality food made up for it.

Class of its own. A lovely gem on the outskirts of Edenvale, falling under Kempton Park. Delicious meals, full of flavor. Had a lovely well cooked chefs special, lamb shank. Our waiter was exceptional well trained in understanding what each dish entailed as well as what wines to pair with the food. The evening was busy so we had to sometimes look for our waiter, which was the only negative thing I can point out.
