Andrew, I think Guinivea and mjw have pretty much answered your question – sushi is INCREDIBLY popular in Cape Town, and you’ll find that most Chinese restaurants offer it on the menu (as well as Thai, Vietnamese and seafood restaurants). I guess this can be a bit confusing for visitors, though!

You have reminded me that I haven’t done my post about the GeekDinner yet so I would like to add here that the vegetarian set menu that was prepared at Tao Yuan (which included non-fish sushi) was very good and quite enjoyable.

To answer people’s questions above, sushi has become trendy in Cape Town over the past two years so you will find that all sorts of restaurants (and supermarkets) offer it.

HMMMMM, Sushi…I could eat it everyday!!! My absolute favourite is the California roll with crab stick inside (please tell me you tried this).

Just a question (from Andrew Owen’s comment). When you go to Tong Lok it is advertised as a Chinese take away yet you can purchase Sushi there….or if you go to Fruit and Veg City you can purchase Sushi there….I don’t think it is only Japanese restaurant’s that sell/make sushi??? I may be wrong though Paul so please correct me if I am.

BTW…I will have to have Sushi now…thanks for the post hehehe

I was in Cape Town a couple of months back with a group of Chinese travel agents and journalists and we also had dinner at Tao Yuan. I really enjoyed their food. Great spot.

I don’t understand, is it a Chinese restaurant or a Japanese one? You said Sushi but that it was Chinese?
