I've been here a number of times. The owner and his partner are very friendly and very quiet. The staff are rather slack, & also don't always seem to understand that they can bring the food as it's ready! They are not trained, and you have to just about stand on tbe table to get your bill. The food is good but not fantastic. The Sushi is excellent, but like with most Chinese restaurants, no ambience whatsoever! Some decor to create atmosphere & good background music would go a long way to getting more patrons into the restaurant. Love the free Fortune Cookie, if you ask for one, when you leave! !!

A little family owned gem and you can taste the care.
The only thing you may complain about is the "long wait" for food. I've never sat down and ate at the restaurant but my experience with the take always has been really pleasant.
I usually order the sushi and spring rolls ( I've had the chow mein and fried rice meals too). The spring rolls are everything they come with a little sweet/sour sauce that completes the deliciously crispy spring rolls.
The sushi is also great - I find the menu a little limited, things could be a bit more imaginative. For your basic California rolls, Maki etc the sushi is quite good.
Great value for money and fantastic food...both the sushi and Chinese. Restaurant is small but as Chinese restaurants go, great to eat in, and good for takeouts. Service is however slit your wrists slow but at least friendly. Family run and they do a brilliant job with the food, just not managing. Definitely the place to go for Chinese food and sushi if you are in Ballito. Been here a many times and have only had great meals, even if service is hit or miss. 2 for service. 4.5 for the food
The food is really tasty and keeps you coming back. From sushi, soups and more traditional dishes you have an array of choices. The decor & ambiance leaves much to be admired and the service is ... Well .... let's just say don't be in a hurry. We take our own wine and merely pay for corkage.
I've been wanting to visit this place for a while, finally got to go. The food doesn't get anymore authentic than what I got.
The spring rolls where my favourite and the lovely owner taught me how to use chopsticks LOL.
And how can I forget the wine served hot in a tiny glass, hahaha so potent and thank goodness I wasn't driving.
Overall great experience and lovely food and service.
Ballito doesn't offer much choice when it comes to traditional Chinese food, but that's ok, because, Xing Ye.
You don't actually need any other options cause the food is THAT good. It's your traditional Chinese restaurant with one waiter, the lady who can't speak engrish at the till and the husband cooking the good food in the kitchen.
Every time we have been here we have not been disappointed and the food has been amazing. The prices are not bad either and the sushi is apparently also pretty good. Highlights have been the sweet and sour pork, chicken with cashew nuts and the newly discovered spicy calamari in black bean sauce!
All in all a good choice for those moments you tired of the traditional pizza, steak and burgers you get everywhere else!
Delicious and fresh !! Highly recommend both the sushi and the authentic Chinese food ... Sushi was fresh and rice light and delicate... Veg chow mein and spring rolls a must !
The sweet and sour noodles were very tasty I definitely recommend
Great service, excellent food, good value for money spent, sushi was fresh, very good as was the chinese noodle and rice dishes, nice play area for young kids while waiting.....
Food is amazing! I always receive such a large portion of it as well. This makes a super great lunch for the next day. Thanks guy you are much appreciated.

The food was great. I had the steamed dumplings and it taste really good.👌👌
Exceptional. Prawn tempura is a must. Thank you for a good time.
Great food. Can get very busy so during peak times like weekends and holidays expect slower service
Have since been back, service so much improved. Thank you Eric. Wonderful all round. Definitely 5 stars
Been getting takeaway once a month. Chef is Asian, food is great and always fast. Crispy pork and Bok Choi on the menu please!
Great place! Had my first Sushi encounter there and it was an out of this world experience. The staff were very nice and the service was great.
Really enjoy Xing Ye but tonight staff seemed upset and just wasn't pleasant.
Will continue to support Xing ye but was a little sad about the attitude.
If you like Chinese food you cannot go wrong here. Whether your favourite is sweet and sour pork, beef chow mein or beef chop suey (my favourite), it is delicious. Safe environment for kids as well. Well worth trying!
