Served with panoramic views, fresh, salty air and plenty of Knysna charm
Located at the Knysna Waterfront, this branch of Asami’s is about more than the food (it’s awesome too, don’t worry). The dishes come with panoramic views, distant hilly vistas, fresh and salty air and plenty of Knysna charm.|
THE FOOD OPTIONS EXTEND TO ASIAN DISHES
Inside-out rolls, nigiri, maki rolls, hand rolls, sashimi is all made at the restaurant, with the freshest of fish. There are Thai and Chinese dishes, including Thai curry, dumplings, soups, sweet-and-sour chicken, and cashew-nut chicken, deep-fried calamari and tempura prawns. Of course, this being Knysna, there are oysters for starters.
SPECIALS AT ASAMI HOUSE
What would an Asami’s be without specials? The Knysna restaurant follows the lead of the other branches with two-for-one noodles on Mondays and two-for-one sushi plates on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
It also has a half-and-half takeaway special. Get a mix of items from both the sushi and main menu, like four Philadelphia rolls, four salmon rolls, one crispy calamari portion and one wonton for R150.
There’s also a bigger option with eight prawn-and-avo inside-out rolls, four Philadelphia rolls, two tempura prawns and two portions crispy calamari for R199.
