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.

    Absolutely empty. Waiters good but rattle off menu too fast and difficult to understand (English is my 1st language). Same chilli relish with almost every dish. Bill delivered half way through dessert…!!! Really?

    There were one our 2 dishes that were great but nothing was amazing which is what you look for when fine dining. We enjoyed the experience but feel that there could be some improvement with regards to the first couple of courses.
