Edit: about a year later, also ended up at the rooftop bar for early evening drinks. Very dependable location, views and vibe that’s been around for years and doesn’t disappoint. Seemed a bit quieter upstairs than I remember it but 🤷‍♂️ Went to the Torii bar downstairs. Really good Japanese food, not impeccable throughout but honestly some of the best you’ll get in Cape Town. Ambiance and decor is fantastic and the range of dishes is also good. Will come back.

Wonderful experience. Waiters were very helpful with the menu options and her recommendations were spot on. Great vibe inside, is small so can imagine if they are full it might be a bit tight. The service was fast. We ordered a variety of items and all shared which I would recommend. High light was the ribs, rice balls and the fries. Portions are a bit small for the price but considering it's unique foods "Japanese" inspired we didn't mind the cost.

A really delightful Japanese tasting menu at this really well decorated venue in the cbd. I got to have a traditional kaiseki style tasting paired menu at the Momiji. Every dish that I had I enjoyed and it took me back to time spent in japan tasting food like this. Attention to detail and amazingly balanced plates of food. All authentically flavoured, using the best ingredients. I appreciated that each plate was served with a menu card describing the dish we were sampling. Our server was great too with her explanations and with warm interaction. A truly enjoyable experience. I will definitely be going back to try the ramen bar as well, it looked really good too.

Great place to go for a modern Japanese dining experience. The cocktails are tasty and their food is well-made. My friends and I ordered some small plates to share. The Cucumber salad was pretty refreshing and flavourful, just wished the portion was larger for the price. The fried rice balls were pretty bland but went well with the aubergine dish which was tangy and addictive. The mochi balls were very sweet and sticky, give it a try if you're into really sweet desserts.
