Ōku Asian Eatery is a Southeast Asian-inspired restaurant situated on Franschhoek’s main road.

The restaurant interior is inspired by the minimalistic design popular in the traditional Asian culture with delicate artwork and unique bonsai trees decorating the walls of the restaurant.

The team guided by Ryan Shell has created an ever-evolving menu that showcases traditional Asian-themed tones in a respectful manner whilst using high-quality local and seasonal produce. Our passionate front-of-house team is driven to deliver excellence in all aspects of service whilst displaying empathy for all of our guests by attending to their needs and desires.

Our wine list is focused on local wineries from in and around the valley as well as a selection of cocktails and sakes, including our own house brand beer-styled sakes.

The dining experience is completed with instrumental music that evokes a sense of calmness in our guests that enables them to unwind and relax.

    The food was excellent, service was good, but the food delivery was a little slow. Very pleasant ambience and good value. We opted for the four course à la carte menu, but were disappointed to find out that we had to have a dessert when we don’t normally eat desserts.

    200 ZAR for bring your own wine is the highes price I have ever paid .. and the wine menu is more expensive then in Le petit Colombe.. The starter Springbok Tataki is not a tataki, it’s a Tartar - so it’s raw .. The starter Sashimi is not a Sashimi it’s s Carpaccio .. we can eat all these things but there are different meals than you expect to get !
