Izakaya Arata - Port Elizabeth

The only reason I’m giving a 5 star is because I don’t want them to loose unnecessary stars. Was some of the best sushi we’ve had in PE. Over time the consistency changed. Overall happy with the food. Could add more protein to rice and noodle dishes, but very well priced food. Alcohol on the other hand is ridiculously priced. Brandy has a 500% markup on. This is not Sandton. Taking that into consideration, the bathrooms are not the cleanest especially for a place that makes 500% markup on their hard liquor alone.

Nice Japanese and Asian restaurant. We came for a Saturday dinner and they had a table for us immediately. The sushi was surprisingly good along with the other Korean style shocker starter. The ramen was nice, but nothing more than that. We had the 3 scoop ice cream for dessert all are home made ginger and honey, green tea and wasabi. The flavours were nice, but the ice cream was crystallised which didn’t really grant it a nice texture and melted fast. The service was really great! It’s a pretty busy street and parking your car could be quite complex, so maybe try Uber instead.

The quality of food is excellent, as well as the friendly and efficient service. A beautifully decorated and cozy atmosphere perfect for date nights.

Pleasantly surprised by the good service from the front of house (run efficiently by Martin) and by the food. The menu is more than adequate with a good variety offered. Service is quick and the food is tasty. Will definitely go here again!!

This is our new favorite spot in PE! Everything was wonderful from the food, to the service, to the atmosphere. I feel like I could live in a bowl of their Ramen and be happy for the rest of my life. Don't even hesitate to try this spot. You won't regret it!
