The best best best food! I couldn't stop to come for their BBQ meat...juice, tender! Price is higher, but valued. Sushi is very good, as the fish is so fresh. You could find it is different as other restaurant when u taste. The part from fish body is the key. Anyway, the best!
We had a superb lunch here for my dad's birthday!
The food was amazing. My beef teriyaki was tasty and tender, and the side of noodles was divine! Others at our tale had the tempura for one, sushi, egg fried rice, and sweet and sour pork. Everyone said their meal was delicious. We also had the jumbo oysters as a starter - wow! These were fresh and delicious. I've never had oysters like these before.
I will say that the service was far from exceptional. The waitrons took our orders with lethargy and the kitchen was slow, despite the restaurant being rather empty - I wouldn't want to eat here when it's full!
As we entered, there was a lovely, calming music playing in the background, which added nicely to the atmosphere.
The first thing you'll notice about japa is the number of Japanese diners which bodes well for the quality of food.
The service was a bit chaotic but it gets the job done, be patient becuse the food is worth it.
We had a random assortment of stuff, starters seaweed salad and the egg custard thingy. mains was a katsudon and a half ramen. We had a couple of other things too.
The ramen is good, btw a half is big enough, the katsudon is a bit different to what we are used to being a bit wet but still good.
Is really authentic, the food is flawless, i wish i could go 3.5 because 4 is too high but 3 is too low. They're good, worth a repeat visit, but something is amiss and I'm nt surewhat.
This is by far the most authentic Japanese food in Jozi. Think it is lost on most South Africans (if you're not Japanese ancestry or expat). The sushi is how it is supposed to be: pure quality and not quantity. Other dishes are superb so is not just a sushi bar. I challenge anyone who is familiar with Japanese food to give it less than a 5!
I am not a fan of ramen but I came here with friends and hubby who love the stuff and every kind of Japanese food to be honest.
According to their feedback Japa makes the best ramen in Johannesburg.
I loved their sushi. Very well done and presented.
Melt in your mouth sushi, amazing starters and that's just the beginning! The staff were friendly, attentive and meticulous in their service. The atmosphere and quality of the restaurant complimented the prices and menu. Those chefs are so talented and it's definitely worth the price!
Alright! I've just found the best sushi and Japanese restaurant on JHB, finally!
I was not expecting to be impressed, but I am. Their sushi is fresh, and delicious. We tried some of their starters (grilled tongue and edame beans) and both were good.
Their menu is extensive, and i can't wait to try more, especially the more traditional foods, not found at other Asian eateries.
A bit expensive but its really worth it. The best proper japanese restaurant I have been to sushi is great, other menus are also great. Just the price is really something
I wish I had insights to their cooking! The chicken skewers here is diiiivvvine to say the least, one portion is just not enough tohe tastebuds. It was my first time trying japanese noodles and I enjoyed it! We ended it off with a green tea ice cream with bean paste was nice and refreshing!! Can't wait to come back for some more.
Excellent quality sushi. (Fresh fish, well and proper done)
Terrible service (waitress in a bad mood, not friendly, the worse service I've experienced in ZA)
