Sushi Box Newlands

Tiny little sushi place hiding behind Wine Concepts in Claremont. I’ve eaten there a few times and it has remained consistent over the years. The menu offers value for money, especially if you opt for the ‘box combos’. We had the Fusion Box, which was 12 pieces for R153. We added a portion of seared tuna sashimi and we started it all off with the salmon tacos and the salmon potstickers. Everything was delish, I’d happy order any of those dishes again. And I will probably also wash it down with a carafe of rose again too!

Average service, average sushi. I didn’t find their crispy prawn rolls very ‘crispy’. Their specials and the prices on their menu are the same. They do not have any knives + forks on hand. I understand they’re a sushi restaurant but not everyone uses chopsticks! I noticed more than one customer needing to eat with their hands.

Very cosy spot with an outdoorsy atmosphere. Sushi was fresh and delicious. There are some interesting menu options that are unique to this diner. The lemonade was so good. Service was friendly and we enjoyed the food thoroughly. Thank you Sandra for taking good care of us!

Amazing sushi!! Great service and friendly staff especially Precious. She would continuously check up if I needed anything and served very well. Her easygoing personality made my experience at Sushi Box great!!

Can often be quite busy with the feeling of being understaffed during peak times. Gotten into the habit of always double-checking that my takeaway order is correct after a few times of receiving meals with minor errors like tuna instead of salmon. It's always incredibly delicious though. My go-to sushi place.

A previous visit to Sushi Box Newlands was just as we were exiting the stringent laws of COVID Lockdown, only allowing for takeout orders. The result was a meagre, disastrous failure, thus it has taken well over two years, until today to choose to venture forth and see if Sushi Box is up to standard comparable to it’s heyday beginnings … in earlier days remembering our regular cravings and their scrumptious food, vibrant waitrons’ friendly greetings and personal interactions.
Alas today was just a sad inedible untidy vision of ‘standards-dropped’. So-much-so that the three of us could NOT be tempted to complete the emptying of the sloppy platters.
Sushi was unappetizing, totally unrelated and incomparable to the incredible sushi that was once upon a time, served us in times past.
We arrived at noon, in the hopes of finding a vacant table, yet needn’t have worried, as much of our time spent there, we were the only occupied table, until two more tables eventually filled. Seems gone are the days of high demand at this forlorn venue. Service? Lacking!…. Oh! The drinking glasses had a distinct fishy smell.

A ps:
Replying to the owner’s response: thanks for your response. No need for further/ email correspondence, we won’t be returning. I DO suggest to you though that Sushi Box Newlands needs to ‘cleanse its palate’ (start afresh by upping its game…intense re-training of its staff: from chefs to waitrons).
