Linko Restaurant

Linko is a charming, welcoming space in the heart of Obs, with a vibey, semi-eclectic decor that I really enjoyed. The interior is a lot bigger than it appears from the street, and thoughtful laid out for both main menu or sushi dining. The price points of the food are great and the online menu is up to date (just click the website link in the Google location above). Both the usual sushi and stir-fry based options are available, and it's a quick and tasty affair.

Although younger kids may not be super entertained by this dining experience, it is a great option for both family outings and date nights. The location makes the usual Obs parking Olympics unavoidable, but you could always park a little distance away (e.g. the lot opposite the Spar) and walking across. It is possible to find closer spots out of peak times, though.

Staff here are friendly and responsive and the owner clearly cares about his food, guests, and ambience. Worth a visit.

Dumplings are good but the sushi was quite bad. Sushi rice was mushy, too much in quantity and did not have vinegar and sugar taste to it. The crunchy rolls does not taste fresh and the avo seemed off. Also too much chilled sauce and mayo.

It was my first time here. I really enjoyed the food. Really loved their ginger and honey infused tea. I cannot wait to go again.

Went on a Friday around 4pm with my partner. Craved some sushi so we ordered a Gold Omega Platter, and found out when ordering a platter we get 4 complimentary dumplings! (Either veg or pork - we chose pork). The sushi was incredible! My partner loved the dumplings - "exquisite"! Atmosphere was great, fully packed up until around 6pm. And the service was incredible, thank you so much! Highly recommend.

A restaurant with charming decor and some sas!

We were greeted with a great welcome, and had friendly service throughout our brunch. Restaurant was empty (arrived around 12pm). The sushi portions are massive and our food was fresh. One platter was R230 and another R240. One was 23 pieces and the other 24, and each platter came with 4 free dim sim, because we had 2 platters we got 8, of either veg or pork(not pictured). My friend also ordered spring rolls and we both had 2 drinks each.

The only problem in Observatory generally is the parking as we walked to the restaurant but would definitely go back regardless.

Not recommended for people who like less rice with their sushi. However they do have other food options, which I would like to try when I return.

What a delightful experience! The service was fantastic, the food was delicious, portions exceed expectations, Linkos definitely lives up to the hype. I cannot wait to return. Sushi is fresh, big portions and affordable for what you get. The dumpling mixed platter was a great way to discover which was our favourite. We took so much food home in doggy bags. Parking was our only challenge but its a challenge I'll gladly face to dine here again.

Love Linko’s. Their dumplings are definitely worth it and reasonably priced. They have weekday specials. We have made this place our quiet date night spot on Wed and Thu and go here solely for they chinese meals, fried rice and dumpling boxes. The sushi is fresh, but the preparation and technique something to be improved as the sushi is a bit bulky.
