Oyama Sushi Restaurant (Lynnwood Ridge, Pretoria)

The Oyama sushi is recommended, but their full takeaway list is bound to have something for everyone. Select one of the various sushi boxes on offer or choose a whole platter if you’re feeding the family. Other options include a range of appetizers (spring rolls, spring onion pancake, calamari, chicken), as well as curries, omelettes, and a variety of rice and noodle dishes. Phone them directly or order on Mr D Food or Uber Eats.

Yoshi Sushi (Kenwyn, Cape Town)

If you’re in the south of Cape Town, don’t miss some of the best sushi the ‘burbs have to offer. The box combos contain classics such as Rainbow and California Rolls, but you won’t be disappointed if you add one of the variations on these to your order. Their Family Platters also ensure that there’s more than enough for everyone. Phone or WhatsApp them on 076 735 5276 to place your order.

Sakura (Durban)

Reasonably priced, umami-packed sushi is the order of the day at Sakura. If you’re unsure of what to have, go for the Sakura Platter. Be sure to add deep-fried salmon California rolls to your order! The branch in Berea has proven to be popular and the team are now bringing their sushi delights to Durban North as well.
