SONAMU

Had some Korean BBQ and noodles at Sonamu, Rondebosch. Place was quiet when we got there, as they just opened but it quickly filled up. Very unique experience preparing your own food in a restaurant setting, but it's quite fun. Husband was enjoying himself so much. Meat was fresh, and the noodles was bursting with flavour. The pickled cucumber salad was out of this world, need some right now. I really can't wait to go back.

Went on Thursday, enjoyed the food and service, so we decided to go back again on Saturday, but for the Korean barbecue, it was amazing and I really do recommend.

Great food experience at Sonamu. Wife and I went there for Valentine’s Day. We shared the Korean Barbecue and it was amazing. Booking was easy online and over the phone, got there in time but there was confusion about the booking. After sitting at the Sushi bar for 5min we were shown to our table. Ordering and the meal was on point. Waitresses Caitlin and Roux were great. We had the Pork sausage, prawn, marinated chicken and mushrooms for the barbecue. The complimentary oils, sauce and garlic and chilli were great. We add the Korean Spicy sauce, Kimchi and pickled cucumber great add-ons to our meal. Food was really good. I ordered a Boston beer on tap and it was light flavourful highly recommended. Highly recommend for a night out make sure to book especially for a Friday night. Deserve 5stars but can get a bit noisy, so if you don’t mind the noise definitely go there. Our bill for 2 was only R520, worth it

Don't bother coming here... because I want to keep it all to myself! But seriously, this place is a treasure. The friendly staff, relaxed Asian-modern atmosphere, and immaculate energy will draw you in. Plus, free parking nearby - a rarity in Cape Town! But the real magic happens on the plate. I devoured the kimchi soup and noodles - absolutely mouth-watering! Perfectly balanced flavors: spicy, rich, savory, and tangy. The Korean fried chicken? Sweet, crispy perfection. And the portions? Generous, to say the least. Reasonably priced, impeccable service, and phenomenal food. I'm already planning my next visit. Don't miss out on this gem! Highlights: Friendly staff Relaxed, modern atmosphere Free parking nearby Exceptional Korean cuisine Generous portions Reasonable prices Will I return? Absolutely!

Great dining place, variety of Korean specialities, great service, very friendly and hands-on staff. Good food, priced fairly. Will definitely go again to try more dishes...

This was something different at the restaurant. Will do this again. We had a wiki deal. It would be nice if they told us we will pay service fee upfront. Go early otherwise you will park a distance from the the restaurant

Sonamu is definitely a restaurant worth visiting. Their prices are incredibly reasonable and you get value for your money. We did the Korean BBQ, which happened to be a fun group activity. Initially I wasn’t aware that we had to prepare the meats and BBQ it, but it was fun learning. It does have a self service feel to the experience, and we weren’t really tended to by our server. Whilst we were waiting for the meats and vegetables to cook, we ordered some chicken dim sum, spring rolls and sushi as waiting accompaniments. The sushi was really good, however, I wouldn’t recommend ordering the dim sum or spring rolls, as they had no flavor and tasted fresh. Bear in mind that the corn takes forever to BBQ. Ours took about 90 minutes to cook through. A tip could be for the restaurant to may parboil the corn.

June 18th was my Partners Birthday and all she wanted was sushi. I was worried that I would not get seating as I did not make a reservation (Naughty). However we were greeted warmly at the door and shown to a lovely Booth for 2. Our waiter was Matthew (I hope that is the correct name). Matthew really made the night memorable by sharing daily Specials and recognizing that we were celebrating a birthday. We received a complimentary Dessert 🍨 and my goodness was it delicious. 10/10 would recommend
