Super authentic dim sum and dumplings, one of the best in Cape Town. Totally worth the bizarre service (which adds to the experience, really). With the dim sum, everything steamed and fried is brilliant. The leek and spring onion pancakes are a fave. Soup dumplings are a reason to make the trip on their own. Mapo tofu is fantastic. Be brave and focus on the dumplings!
Place was awesome, went Sunday and got seated quickly. The food arrived and it was yummy to say the least. The service was amazing as well. This is officially my new go to place. The atmosphere is relaxed and the hostess although busy tries her best to see to your needs as quick as she can. Had to thank her afterwards for the service and the amazing food.
Listen. I am terrified of this lady but honestly I’d risk being shouted at for the dim sum alone. Nothing off the dim sum menu will disappoint you! I also love the cucumber salad which makes for a nice acidic pairing with all the deep-fried or steamed carbs. The prices have gone up quite a bit, though, which is unfortunate. I’m not convinced that the food is quite worth it at this new price point.
After reading the reviews for this restaurant I think that the food served in the restaurant must be very different to the take away. I did see the owner making dumplings, so perhaps the dumplings are a better bet than the other meals. We got a takeaway black bean chicken, and sweet and sour chicken. The sweet and sour chicken had little balls that were mostly just soggy pastry with almost no chicken inside. The black bean meal had this very strange taste to it that I couldn’t actually stomach, although it at least had proper chicken strips rather than these mushy deep fried, stringy thing. I would certainly never try the takeaway again and I’d be unlikely to go back for the sit in meals after how unappetising I found this food.
The woman that works there and runs the place is completely unprofessional! She treats her customers like dirt! The experience every time has been a disaster & it’s actually not worth the good food. I’d rather take my business else-where to avoid a negative experience.
