What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Roji offers a unique dining experience with its cozy, medieval cellar ambiance and expertly crafted French-Japanese fusion cuisine, particularly its sushi. Many praise the exquisite cocktails and attentive service. However, some diners have noted issues with value for money and, in one instance, a serious food safety concern leading to illness.
"We really loved the food, atmosphere and the service. We took seats at the sushi bar inside the restaurant. The food is super tasty and cooked right in front of us with experienced chefs. Quality 🍣 👌🏾🤤 We didn't make a reservation but got the seats. It's recommended to make a reservation though as the place was almost full for a Friday evening."

Zao Wang is a great place for sushi take out and you can find them in the old city center (close to Roji) and recently they opened a branch in the Scheldestraat. Here you can find more special sushi’s like the Dragon Eyes but also yakitori and dim sums.
