About

To order perfectly cooked john dory, prawns and op la is a truly nice idea. This restaurant will offer you delicious wine. A lot of visitors order great coffee.

Our waiter, Ryan, was GREAT!!! What a nice guy... so friendly, caring and competent... The manager (I think his name is Sybrandt), was also very friendly and gave us his personal attention. Well done to both of you!! Thank you for a great meal and excellent service, Ryan... we enjoyed it very much...

Was my 2nd time at Paarl John dorys of Friday 01 March in evening,on both occasions there has been certain items on menu which were out of stock. I ordered my food which also had a top up of prawns which I never received. The prawns which I got tasted as though they had only been boiled. There was also no manager to be seen on the floor throughout our time there,only condiments which were brought to table were salt and pepper. Atmosphere is also not good as there are numerous light bulbs which are not working,kiddies section also not well lit and no background music playing although gh store has alot of speakers. Will definitely not go back as was not a pleasant experience. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1

Don't order the sushi. Just had sushi delivered. Terrible and virtually everything was crab, despite the menu saying shrimp and salmon for most of the items. The most useless soy sauce packets for sushi we've ever encountered. Well done in achieving the new lowest benchmark for sushi in Paarl. I should have read the other reviews before spending my money here. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person R 400–450 Food: 1 Recommended dishes Sushi Combo

I went to buy supper for my family. I was so impressed with the the service and waiter who was assisting me. I was carrying my son, they offered a sit and offered a glass of lemon and herb water while we wait for our order.

Food not on standard. We often visit various John Dory's and always received excellent service and food in GP and KZN. Sushi was served in one large plate at the table instead of individually. Fish was full of bones and over cooked. We are Afrikaans speaking and it seems that the waiter could not understand us properly. We do visit Paarl often and love fish. Will be back early next year so hope the standard will be were it should be. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

Although it seems to have a nice atmosphere - I would avoid this rearurant. My partner and I were looking at getting take aways for our family. The young lady working behind the desk was very helpful and friendly - however the rest of the staff were distant and didn't really seem interested in helping us. We decided to have some sushi off the conveyer belt while we waited for the takeaways and it was AWFUL. The deep fried dishes were chewy and tasted like they had been prepared days before and the avo in the sushi was brown. The chef behind the belt was also very rude and unhelpful Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

We usually avoid this John Dory's as the food was horrendous in a past experience. However, tonight we wanted sushi and options were limited so John Dory's Paarl it was. Manager was on her phone, sushi chef was on his phone, waitress directed us to a table then just never returned. Poor, pathetic service. Place was empty too. We left without ordering anything due to the lack of service and zero interest by staff. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Horrible Horrible experience at John Dorys Paarl mall. We went for sushi, before arriving I called to order the cc bombs. I made them aware on the call that the last time we were there it was frozen to please make sure it isn't. When we arrived the cc bombs was frozen I told them and they brought another set that was frozen AGAIN! The sushi chef Lebo had a terrible rude attitude, he did not want to put the sushi that he made out on the belt for us to eat and told us to wait until he is done making all the sushi. My kids were hungry.... we are there every Wednesday for sushi however we will never go there again! Service Dine in Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I asked for my calamari tubes to be grilled it came out oily and with what seems to be the remains of the previous dish cooked on the grill. Attached is a picture of what came with the calamari. I cant figure out what it is there are little pieces of tenticles mixed in with looks like onions? The texture was hard and weird. I didnt bother touching my side salad. Please have a look and see if this is worth calling a side salad? Also the tomatoes look so old and very soft. Probably shoudlve sent it back but I was way too hungry. I would have mentioned any of this had I been asked how my meal was going. Service was otherwise with a smile and quick, the only highlight of the experience.
