    Food did not meet our expectations, pretty bland. Dessert cakes were dry. Ambiance and setting were nice.

    Jinsei exudes the confidence of that of a well run ship. Maarten very clearly has an ease of leadership only spotted in places where people are efficient and evidently happy to be there. Emma was knowledgeable, easy to get on with and unexpectedly funny The menu emulates pure artistry which is evident when the plates arrive. The attention to minute detail along with an apparent appreciation of beauty, both visually and palette is a key ingredient to Jinsei’s success. Jinsei is a stand-out restaurant and will quickly become your regular favourite; they do not offer your run of the mill Japanese cuisine. There is a considered and intelligent take on well loved dishes and sushi. There is a harmony between the great staff, the effortlessly stylish decor and the delicious food.

    Had an interesting meal at Jinsei with menu options different to the standard Asian fusion fare. That being said pretty much everything has some form of chilli in it (sometimes too much, e.g., the bean spout dish) which is not apparent unless one is familiar with the East Asian spices and sauces, some of which are not common in SA (e.g., Japanese Togarasji). There was also a selection of unusual cocktail mixes. Really enjoyed the pork belly starter and Cape bream main.
