What to Expect
Active Sushi in Hillside serves sushi alongside Chinese dishes and grills, and reviewers agree the food is good even when service lags. Mmemezi (May 2026) found the food “fresh, tasty, and well prepared” in a simple, functional space. Slow service comes up repeatedly: Tanaka Mudzimiri (August 2026) said food “took ages to come”, and Tanaka Mpofu (November 2025) called service “a bit slow”, though the outdoor seating and an adjoining Lions Club bar make up for the wait.

★★★★☆
Visited Active Sushi today and really enjoyed the food, fresh, tasty, and well prepared. The atmosphere isn’t particularly aesthetic or fancy, but it’s simple, clean, and functional, which works fine if you’re there mainly for good food.
★★★★☆
The sushi is always delicious and at an affordable price. The service is a bit slow but the outdoor atmosphere covers up for it. The Lions club bar area is also a plus if you want a cold one.
★★★★☆
Grumpy waiters, floors look though clean. Food is nice but took ages to come. Bathrooms need a revamp. First time wating sushi! I loved it. They have a wide range of drinks on offer but some may not be available. Pass by sometime.
★★★★☆
Great Chinese dishes along with the normal fare. Service needs improving especially during busy nights.
★★★☆☆
Sushi was good but the mains weren't satisfactory.
