Wok n Roll in Sandton: Where Asian Fusion Comes Alive on Every Plate

Inside Wok n Roll: Sandton’s Flavour-Packed Playground of Asian Fusion

From bold sushi rolls to spicy ramen bowls, this is where Joburg’s flavour fanatics go to indulge

Tucked inside The MARC in Sandton, Wok n Roll is a buzzing modern Asian eatery that doesn’t just serve food. It puts on a show. With a menu spanning Japanese, Thai, and Chinese cuisines, this is the spot where prawns come with punch, dumplings with drama, and sushi that’s got way more personality than your average California roll.

Locals know it. Regulars crave it. First-timers walk out converted.

The Rolls Are Wild, and That’s a Good Thing

Let’s talk sushi. Not the basic stuff. The real head-turners. Wok n Roll’s signature sushi rolls go far beyond salmon and avocado. Think:

• The Sexy Roll: Shrimp tempura, avocado, and cucumber inside, torched salmon and cheese on top, finished with mayo, caviar, and spring onion.

• Sweet Dream: A veg delight with sweet potato tempura and radish, topped with bean curd, crushed cashews, and flame-seared mayo.

• Flying Prawn Roll: Salmon and avocado wrapped up and crowned with prawn, teriyaki sauce, and sriracha mayo.

Even the classics shine. Their Rainbow Rolls, California Rolls, and flame-seared Deluxe Nigiri are crafted by Asian-trained chefs who balance boldness with finesse.

Small Plates, Big Impact

Beyond sushi, Wok n Roll’s small plates steal the show. Crowd favourites include the Bang Bang Prawns, lightly battered and drenched in creamy sweet-spicy sauce, and crispy Korean chicken wings tossed in gochujang and toasted sesame.

Dim sum lovers, rejoice. The pork and mushroom gyoza, steamed prawn dumplings, and assorted dim sum platter are made to order, fresh from the steamer.

Ramen, Curry, and Asian Soul Food

For something hearty, the spicy beef ramen hits the spot. Served in rich pork bone broth with sweet corn, pak choi, bamboo shoots, soft egg, and spring onions, it’s pure comfort in a bowl.

Also on offer: Japanese chicken katsu curry, Thai red and green curry, and crispy sweet-and-sour chicken, all wok-tossed to perfection. Pair them with rice or noodles, or dive into saucy rice bowls like the Black Pepper Beef Stir-Fry or Korean Spicy Chicken.

The Buffet Option (Yes, Really)

Wok n Roll Sandton offers a deluxe sushi buffet, a rarity in Joburg. For R265 per person, diners get unlimited rounds of their best sushi, bao, dim sum, fried rice, and dessert. Ideal for food lovers who mean business.

Sweet Finishes and Fun Drinks

Don’t skip dessert. The deep-fried ice cream is a crunchy-creamy bomb, and the bubble waffles with fruit and chocolate sauce are a sweet tooth’s dream.

Wash it down with matcha milkshakes, American iced coffee, or craft cocktails like the Toasted Coconut Piña Colada and berry-spiked mojitos.

A Space With Buzz and Heart

Wok n Roll’s loyal following is no accident. The vibe is stylish yet unpretentious. The team is efficient, friendly, and proud of their pan-Asian roots. With a menu this varied, there’s something for everyone, from sushi adventurers to curry purists.

This isn’t just a meal. It’s a journey across Asia, plated up for Jozi palates.
