Friend was craving Chinese food so headed here. Similar vibe to Saigon although Saigon has the more "higher end" look and taste to their dishes. Even looking at the menu, the meal choices are similar. Nonetheless I enjoyed my meal of sizzling chicken and noodles.

How does this place have 3.7 only?! We've been coming here for almost 10 years and the food never disappoints ❤ Tried the Chicken Wonton Noodle Soup and Prawn Toast for starters this time around and it was the perfect dishes to get the appetite going.

Mains were the Sizzling Mongolian Lamb with Egg Fried Rice and the Beef with Black Been Sauce and Coconut Rice. Portions are huge but still we found ourselves finishing it without any doubts! The flavours are complimentary and rich, satisfying all tastebuds. We squeezed in the Chocolate Spring Rolls for dessert which never disappoints either. Absolutely great value for money too.

My only critique would be that the space needs a bit of revamp to get that new space, refreshed feel back again.

Went with a friend and we ordered 2 mains to share. One was the Mongolian ostrich dish and the other a Szechuan dish. The Szechuan dish was missing some key flavours and thus was not very Szechuan. The Mongolian ostrich on the other hand was sooooo good! The menu also has Thai items and will return to give their Thai curries a try.

Update: returned to give their Thai green curry a try. It was good, but I think they use coconut cream instead of coconut milk. So it was definitely creamier than I would've liked it to be. My friends ordered the chow mein and spring rolls and really enjoyed them. The one commented that it beats her favourite place's chow mein and will definitely return for it.

Fantastically flavorful soup! The wontons are our favorite, clean and great atmosphere. Service is a bit slow but has never ruined our experience. We love it, worth the wait!

Great place to dine! Nice relaxed atmosphere, you can rock up in shorts and plakkies, or have a nice quiet semi-formal dinner with your significant other. Waitrons are knowledgeable about their offerings. Food has never disappointed, and is consistently awesome!

Very popular restaurant that has been around for many years. After not going for about 10 years I finally went again and mostly enjoyed it. The place itself could use an upgrade in terms of decor and feel, as it does seem dated and not  very cosy.  Our waitress was good. For starters I had the vegetarian pancake rolls, which was flavourless and too stodgy. But my main dish was absolutely delicious - the sizzling mixed seafood. It was plentiful and super tasty. Bit of a hit and miss for me, but will go back as it is well priced and I would like to try more dishes.

Good value with authentic oriental flavours. Good variety of dishes and mixes of rice and noodles. Location is ok, parking can be an issue at times and setting inside is standard.

Dinner with friends is best when we share our dishes and get to taste more of what the restaurant offers.

The restaurant is large and has a typical Asian feel. Located in Mill street, there is convenient parking. Over the last 14 years, they have perfected their pan- Asian menu and have a large, loyal client base.

There is a large list of tapas including favourites satay, spring rolls, prawn toast, tempura, dimsum, wontons and soup.

The main meal menu is extensive. From Cantonese, Thai, Balinese, Indonesian to Mongolian dishes - the choice is amazing. Think oyser sauce, Szechuan, ginger, coconut, sesame and lemongrass. The tantalising aromas wafting from the kitchen, ignite the senses and make your mouth water in anticipation.

We shared beef with black bean sauce - deep, dark & intensely satisfying flavours; spicy Mongolian lamb which was served sizzling on a hot griddle; Thai smokey sesame chicken and a green curry with coconut milk. All dishes were stirfried with al dente seasonal veggies. We ordered egg fried rice and garlic rice which were perfect accompaniments.

To wrap up we had crispy chocolate spring rolls with vanilla ice cream and rice pudding.

Hands down the BEST sushi we have tasted in Cape Town. Though they have other Asian dishes, sushi is truly their forte. Great and friendly service in a cosy space.

The food was good, they have good platter options.the service was also great. My least favourite thing about the place is the air ventilation and lighting,but that doesn’t really take away from the great experience

Superb food with average ambience. We were a vegan group of 12 and were very impressed with the variety the place had to offer. We had veggies in Basil Chilli, Black Bean, Sweet & sour and the extremely fiery Jungle Curry. All of them were yum and Sushis were great too.

Good little sushi spot in the upper CBD, quiet and relaxing place for a date. Very friendly and attentive service from waiters and owners. Sushi is affordable and good for its price. They also have specials in the week. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to soil themselves or a loved one without emptying their pockets.

My boyfriend and I decided to try out Chef Pon's because it's on the Entertainer app. We were not disappointed: the service was fantastic and the food was sizzling and cooked to perfection. We absolutely loved it!

Wonderful food for a good price, had two different curries that both tasted wonderful. Good amount of food for 130R. They also offer all you can eat sushi for 199R on Wednesday and Saturday. The waiter and waitress are an absolute delight, kind, friendly and giving happy good vibes that make you feel welcome. Would absolutely recommend to the weary traveller or lover of Asian food.
