Wow! Walking into this colorful funky space you can’t help but smile. Warmly greeted, we settled in to plan our adventure through their Asian/Latin inspired menu, all the while sipping herbals teas. No alcohol served. I recommend the mint, lemongrass and cinnamon tea with a drop of honey! Starters were light morsels of chicken skewers and crab spring rolls, next was the star of the show, the very generously sized sushi burrito’s. I was in ecstasy, next visit skipping the starters going straight for the burrito so I have room for a poké bowl. I personally preferred the nori on the outside, crunch inside, you can have it the other way round. Really enjoyed the way they prepared the wasabi, so smooth. Def be back for their Fri/Sat specials. Week nights are quite, perfect for date night or a large party. A new favorite 🍣
I really like this spot, there food and drinks are amazing, i have been here about 4 or 5 times, found this spot on a restaurant week , they have these soft bun, i dont know how to describe them little fluffy buns, the best thing ever 😋
I went here with a few friends for an early dinner. We got such great value for money as there was a R99 promo on when we went. We all ordered a sushi burrito, a drink and got a side of sweet potato chips for only R99. The burrito was really amazing. I had the salmon burrito and could not complain. It was a big portion and filling. I would recommend going for a burrito as it is in the name and their specialty. I would also say get it with the crunchy outside as this gives it some more texture and taste
The service was great and fast but we were the only people there so I would not expect any less than that.
The walls are decorated nice but I think not a lot of people know about them yet as there was no vibe to place.
Overall we had a good time and great food!
We went for lunch on a Saturday, and though the place was quite empty the food was divine!!
We tried the Teriyaki chicken bao, the panko crumbed chicken bao and the spicy salmon sushi burrito - all recommended by our friendly waitress. All the food was fresh and delicious. It was also presented well.
The atmosphere and vibe could do with some uplifting, and the wooden feature wall could do with a bit of a scrub - but I’ll definitely be back! 👍
This is an awesome place to chill out , however the service was a bit slow even though the restaurant was empty . The food was absolutely amazing and the concept of sushi and burrito is really cool.
A strange little hole in the wall with unusual decor but the food is always delicious. Tempura prawns, beef baos and the noodle dishes are all tasty, colourful and packed with flavour. Worth a visit.
This is a really wonderful place for informal lunch. Their staff and chef are extremely friendly. Would definitely return for their chef's special sushi and prawn burrito.

Absolute Gem of a restaurant.
After hearing many positive reviews I decided to finally give in and come give it try (sushi isn’t my favorite food) but Sushi Burrito delivers on every level.
Cool and funky decor, super friendly and efficient crew and scrumptious meals.
We had a spicy tuna burrito, chicken yakitori (best ever) chicken sweet buns and sushi platters - the portions are surprisingly generous and is very well priced for what you get.
I hope to become a regular here as this place is lit.

Was expecting a bit of a vibe here. Was really quiet, maybe just the time, but it was a Thursday night so not sure. The service was good and the food tasty. Loved my tuna poke bowl. Maybe will try for lunch next time.
This little hidden gem was a very relaxed and laid back environment, our waitress was very friendly and helpful.
The food was really amazing, from the wonton fries and sweet potato chips, to the soft bun meal and of cause their famous sushi burrito, all was fresh very fresh and tasty. Thank you for the experience. The only thing is the timing of the food, they were delivered to the table at different times. But all in all will be back.
The starters are fantastic. The chicken wings and tacos are filled with tantalizing flavor. The main course and dessert lacked the spark I required.
I loved everything about this place from the cute decor to a great menu. It's not overwhelming where you can't decide what you want, but I will be back to try other dishes. The tostada starters are great in spicy tuna. We asked for the edamame to be spiced too. The spicy salmon sushi burrito and tempura prawn were good, fresh. Word of advice the crunchy roll is messier than traditional seaweed exterior. Will be back for poke bowls.
Great fusion food in a trendy environment. Mixed feelings on the Sushi Burrito, however the wonton chips and the Duck Bao were delicious and I would eat it again and again!
Great ambience, fantastic service and the fresh of really amazing!
I liked the fun approach to an interesting mash-up of Mexican and Japanese food! The restaurant is bright and vibrant - for me, more of a day time spot, or good for fast food at night as it's not intimate and cozy. We tried the prawn spring rolls, chicken katsu burrito and the pork katsu don and these were all interesting and tasty. The crunch coating the sushi burrito was good, but you need to remind yourself to expect a cold roll... just as with sushi! While the sushi burrito was crammed with filling, the bao (buns) that someone else ordered appeared to lack filling. The service was good here. It's worth a try, even if just to see whether you agree that Mexican and Japanese food can be mixed!
Nice concept.. a bit pricey.
awesome fusion food with some popular classics. Loved the bao and the teriyaki chicken udon noodles. If you love Asian food you'll come here again for sure.
Good experience, would recommend the hit buns... a little pricy but of your in the mood for sushi it might be worth the splurge
Brilliant food, so fresh and well prepared. Service was also professional and friendly.
Love the staff and the sushi it just needs a vibe, music or something too quiet lots of potential though
