Golden Coast

Reviewed By JanineU

A quiet, relaxed atmosphere with a distinct Eastern ambiance is what we experienced. The decor was tastefully Chinese and each seating area was privately enclosed with glass and wood partitions. Being a small group, we eventually decided on the set menu for 5 and we were pleasantly surprised at the quantity - even having to take home a number of the dishes. Very tasty and delightful, we left with satisfied tummies and happy tastebuds.

Popped in for a bite to eat before the Johnny Clegg concert, maybe they were just very busy but the food was disappointing. The spring rolls were oily, the tempura prawns were more batter than prawn and the 2 mains we ordered were average, rather sweet, perhaps we made bad choices, but sadly we won't be going back.

Friendly welcoming for early visit. They adapted the breakfast so it is gluten and dairy free. Had a nice chat with the waiter. Interior is beautiful. I could eat with the sunrise on my face. Food was nice. Fresh pressed juice was good. Recommended!

Natti's Thai Kitchen

Reviewed By davebU6440EW

I visited Nattis Thai kitchen while on a business trip to PE. I was staying near the City end of PE just of the beachfront road, and having put the address of the restaurant into Waze found it took about 15 min. in the car to get to.The restaurant is in a nondescript old house I an older part of PE. Although I found the address easily, I had to get out of the car to peer at the houses before I spotted Nattis. It is entered by a steel security door/magnetic lock, and I suppose they have a reason for this security. The restaurant decor is quite plain, small tables, small chairs, plastic tablecloths on the tables and not very interesting. The menu is written on a chalkboard in the entrance passage. Mine host was attired in a white T shirt, flip flops and a pair of shorts- certainly not a formal place.He was very attentive - I didn’t have a booking and all he could give me was one small table as all others were booked. As clientele came in to take their tables it was apparent that the majority of business was local. I ordered spring rolls, 4 small 2 inch, piping hot, crisp and tasty rolls promptly arrived with a tasty dip, followed by a spicy consommé of chicken/vegetable soup, also hot and excellent. Main course was pork based in a thin sauce with a small dish of rice to go with it. Delicious! If you want burgers, fish and chips, ice cream and chocolate sauce, - don’t go there! If you want something different, - and Thai, go to Natti’s kitchen. He doesn’t have a liquor licence, so feel free to take your own. I had a couple of drinks with the meal, came in a bit stiff I thought at R265 + tip, but I did enjoy it.If you do go, read up the menu on the blackboard, mine host will explain what each dish is about.Will I go back? I did enjoy, but will probably try somewhere else the next time.

TORO Sushi, Teppanyaki & Seafood

Reviewed By MaresaG

Sitting outside on the deck on a deserved #Friyay afternoon after a long hard week, I was pleasantly surprised at the lovely ambience created at this sushi restaurant situated in a rather uninspiring little shopping center in PE.They have a lovely range of sushi, teppanyaki, and other interesting seafood mains on the menu, all fairly reasonably priced. I was super-impressed with my sashimi salad which, at R98, was gratefully generous in the amount of sashimi (salmon, tuna, prawn and crabsticks) served on a bed of fresh crisp, julienned and spiralised greens, fashionably presented in a deep salad bowl, unlike the accustomed small sushi-plate servings! My hubby opted for a selection of salmon roses and the Tempura prawn sushi, which he ordered with their wicked superhot Wasabi. There a few things that make me cry, and this (I'm ashamed to admit), was one of them!Our meal was beautifully paired with a glass each of the house Sauvignon Blanc. The service was prompt and professional, with the manager even coming to check up on the quality of service. A lovely experience; and I would most certainly be back for my powerhouse value-for-money sashimi salad with the superhot Wasabi!!

Whilst in PE for two nights for work ,we decided to visit Fushin after the previous nights lovely meal at Muse.Read the extensive reviews on TA and thought do many can't be wrong.We decided to order a large variety of shushi dishes from the menu and yes the service was great but I somewhat felt the shushi was mediocre.I've eaten a lot of shushi and having lived in cape Town for the last few years I do enjoy seafood and shushi.This offering from Muse did in my opinion maybe suffice for PE patrons but not to my pallette.Visually executed well...taste not so we'll.
