The lines were long during the festive period, we said we will wait it out, other people in the line
said it’s worth the wait. They were so right. Being crazily busy like this works for this restaurant,
It’s pure Chaos in the best way, loud, packed and full of energy.
The food is unreal, very tasty and addictive.
Tried the prawn thai curry, the baby soles with calamari and prawns, miso soup, noodles and some sushi, beef fillet, and the Creme Brûlée.
We were served by Romesh, was very helpful. Excellent service from him.
Will keep going back.

What an excellent find during our visit of V&A!

I would highly recommend if you love sushi and/or freshly prepared sea food. Our server was amazing and really went out of her way to recommend to us the best meals. The juice too was fresh and the sushi was fantastic.

We also loved the deli inside which was stocked with condiments and fish from all over the world. Perhaps not so important, but I personally liked that they had live tv where I could follow F1.

I was following the reviews from Google Maps and it was totally confirmed. The freshest and the tastiest, best “Fish and Chips” English style in all Cape Town. Delicious and gorgeous looking, exactly like in the pictures. Deserve 5***** from my side. Needed another new visit ASAP!

This cajun spiced calamari on a bed of rice and thick chips … wow. If I need to calamari again in Cape town, this is the place I’m going to. The sushi as well remains top shelf. All in all a lovely evening spent.

I am surprised by the global rating. I would not claim that I am a sushi expert nor tempura but this is maybe one of the poorest Japanese food experience I had (referring to EU and Japan experience). The tempura were huge and greasy. Of course if you rate based on quantity I understand. Being close to the sea I was hoping to get super fresh fish. Nothing impressive here in the plate. Sorry but not a recommended Japanese place if you really like this premium food. Maybe the best of what can be accessible down town?! The only positive experience was John who took care of us

An old favorite- was trying to work out how long it’s been serving the best sushi in town? Always great food served with friendly smile. I live in sydney so coming back to Cape Town for a visit, this was my first choice for an early dinner with family.

I recently visited Sushi at Willoughby and had a mostly enjoyable experience. The inari and the Rainbow Reload roll were absolutely delicious. While the flavors may not lean toward the traditional or fully authentic side, they were perfectly suited to my own taste palate and really satisfying. The setting was a bit rowdy and noisy, and the service was okay at best, but the food definitely made up for it.

It’s smack dab right in the middle of the V&A Waterfront Mall. My friends and I are lunch there and we kept adding people to our table and they were very accommodating. Kaiden was our waiter and was very attentive.
The food and drinks were very good, especially the passion fruit drink.

Dined at this fine establishment on Christmas Eve of 2025, and was served by the lovely Aviella!

Despite the busyness of the restaurant, Aviella stayed on top of her game and ensured that we were satisfied throughout our whole experience. She regularly checked in, assisted us with speed, and made killer recommendations. She suggested we try this 4×4 Bomb Combo* which was absolutely to die for it was the perfect blend of fresh sushi, sweetness & tanginess, with an epic crunch to seal the deal This paired with a carafe of the Vergelegen Reserve white wine was just excellent

Note that this is above average pricing compared to your usual restaurants, but the experience is definitely well worth it!

We had a celebration lunch at Willoughby & Co. and it was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed some sushi and seafood, and every dish was fresh and delicious. The service from Joel was lovely & friendly, attentive and kind. They even brought us complimentary wine while we waited, which was such a generous touch. The whole experience felt special and made our celebration truly memorable.
