The sushi is good, no doubt about that. However, the so called "30% off" sushi special when sitting down is a complete joke. For example - the Purple Plate that consists of 2 pieces of Sunshine Roll is R40 (so with the discount R28) but if you had to order a sunshine roll for take-away, you would get 4 pieces at R40. Simple maths - to get the same amount of sushi from the "special" you are in fact paying a 40% PREMIUM (R16 more). Same goes with everything else on the menu. I can understand paying a little bit more for the ambiance, but these costs add up quite a bit after a few plates. This is the only sushi place that I know of with price discrimination in their own restaurant, and quite frankly, its not worth it. When I took the matter up with the waitress, they added that "we are not supposed to look at the take-away menu" even though the food comes from the exact same place/chefs. Furthermore, the manager was conveniently away when I started making a fuss. I felt completely ripped off.
