    Despite Cape Town's excellent reputation for food, I've always found Asian cuisine to be lacking here. With a few notable exceptions, most CT restaurants serve up a muddled mix of Japanese, Chinese and Korean dishes which comes across as confused, misguided and ultimately lacking authenticity. How's your oni is not one of those places. This is legitimately Japanese. The okonomiyaki is straight out of back street Osaka. These guys get it.

    We had an amazing first visit. The food was great especially the takoyaki, whose taste took us back to beautiful Kyoto. The staff are so patient and friendly, and the portions are generous. We will definitely return.

    Hands down one of the best restaurants Cape Town has to offer. Amazing food, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back soon to try the rest of the menu!

    I’ve been coming to Hows your Oni for a while and I keep being impressed how great the food is.
