Why Tataki Fourways Might Just Be Joburg’s Best Sushi Secret

Tucked inside the Longpoint building on Montecasino Boulevard is a place that doesn’t make a lot of noise, but maybe it should.
Tataki Oriental Cuisine in Fourways has quietly become a local legend among those who know where to find quality Asian food that doesn’t break the bank. But its latest offer is turning more heads than usual: a buy-one-get-one-free sushi special, exclusively for takeaway.
That’s right. Any sushi item you order, from hand rolls to rainbow maki, comes with a matching one free. The catch? There isn’t one, really. It’s a straightforward offer that feels too good to be true in 2025, especially with rising food costs across the city.
A local gem with loyal fans
While many of the trendier spots in Fourways charge premium prices for artistic presentation and imported wasabi, Tataki keeps things grounded. It’s the kind of place where regulars know their orders by heart, and first-timers are met with a wall of sushi options that range from fried salmon teriyaki gifts to rock prawn maki and seared tuna sashimi.
The menu doesn’t stop at sushi. There’s an extensive list of Chinese and Thai mains too, like beef chow mein, crispy duck with rice, cashew nut prawns, hot chilli chicken, and creamy red curry served with jasmine rice. And if you’re after variety, the set platters are a serious drawcard, including the hefty Parkrand Platter (36 pieces for R559) or the Cape Town Platter (21 pieces for R319), which includes everything from salmon sashimi to tuna rolls and prawn sandwiches.
Sushi for two? Sorted.
The takeaway special makes it perfect for couples, colleagues, or even just treating yourself on a Friday night. With options like salmon roses, fried sushi, green battleships, and spicy tuna maki all part of the deal, it’s surprisingly easy to fill your table, and your stomach, without emptying your wallet.
And for those celebrating a birthday, Tataki even throws in a festive promise: join their Birthday Club and you’ll receive a R129 voucher to use on your special day, provided you dine with three or more guests.

What locals are saying
On social media, Tataki’s sushi deal has been making the rounds on foodie forums and Facebook community groups in Fourways, with many calling it “the most affordable sushi in Joburg right now.” Others praise the “quick service,” “generous portions,” and “quality that punches above its price point.”
Is this Joburg’s most underrated Asian kitchen?
Tataki doesn’t need flashing neon signs or viral reels to prove its worth. What keeps people coming back is the comfort of knowing exactly what you’re going to get: bold flavour, fresh ingredients, and fair prices. It’s the kind of place that quietly earns its spot in your regular rotation, especially with that unbeatable takeaway sushi special.
So the next time you’re near Montecasino and craving good food without the frills, you know where to go. Just don’t forget to grab two of everything.
