    Yori Oki is the absolute best. We’ve never had a bad experience. Last night the staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable after having surgery last week. It was storming when we left and they helped me safely get to the car. Above and beyond.

    I found being forced to use the Dine Plan booking platform inconvenient. Secondly, the R6.00 charge to use the platform was for MY account and not the restaurant. I never chose to use this platform. The restaurant includes a gratuity for the waitron...but at 15% as a base line. Our bill was less than R2,000 and this was imposed on us. The pork in my small meal was dry The other dishes were good San Pellegrino water at R75 is rough

    Yori Oki Sushi & Grill responded on Mon 13 Jan 25:
    Hi thank you for taking the time to write the review and your support, I would like to clarify something. The 15% is not initiated by the store but by Zapper which is the method you chose to pay with. It's a standard Zapper gratuity unless chaged by the user. We do have a gratuity in our bills which is set at 10% and always highlighted to the customer and is not compulsory. As to the fee from Dineplan, this is a new introduction by them and not within our control, although I do agree that it shouldn't be there and am in discussion with them to have it removed. The San Pellegrino is very well priced for a restaurant. I appreciate your support.

    Food was nowhere as good as the first time we at there. Calamari was tasteless, California rolls had too much of stodgy rice and dim sum was very doughy. Very surprised at how it changed from an amazing experience to such average food

    I had the best birthday lunch yesterday at the Yori Oki. My friends and I had tasty prawn tempura, great cocktails, nice sushi, mouth-watering ramen (of the day) bowls, and we finished off with a delicious chocolate lava dessert. This was an amazing 1st-time experience for me. I will be coming back.
