The food and customer service is top notch. I had the fried Lamb and chicken dim sum. While my friend had the steamed spinach and feta dim sum, she also had the lamb & chicken with noodles. I also loved the decor and ambience of the restaurant.
Still one of my favourite restaurants. Visited again last night with the family. Boys had sushi - no complaints there. I had dim sum and the quality is really good with fantastic dipping sauces. My husband had the pad thai and some dim sum. It is probably on the pricey side but worth it.
Duck ramen with egg noodles in a clear broth. A light meal that is perfect to have on colder days as winter is approaching. The texture of the duck was good and the broth was not too salty. Thank you for a delicious lunch, So Yum 😊
What a nice Asian restaurant. A bit pricey, but the food was good with flavours bursting in your mouth, seasoned perfectly and friendly service.
Discovered So Yum thanks to the entertainer app. Food and service was really delicious and friendly!
Catch of the day was Kingklip. I do feel that at R165 they should include the rice instead of asking customers to pay an additional R28...
Sushi was yummy.... Presentation and the waiter setting the teriyaki sauce alight was a first for me. At R185 for 8 rainbow rolls seriously hoping they use A grade fish....
Great for a date night!
Had a 15 min neck and back massage at R50 in between meals which was really nice!
Really amazing menu with unforgettable Asian dishes! We found the Dim Sum menu variety and quality to be far better than other similar restaurants. The fish dishes like Pla Chu Chee in coconut sauce & Crispy Ginger fish were delectable, not to mention the tasty Duck Ramen soup. Highly recommended restaurant!!
Now partnered with Hemelhjuis; a lovely spot for Sunday Brunch. Best choice: potatoes Rosti with poached eggs. Great cappuccino! Can’t wait to sample more from the menu.
We loved it! Clean, great tasting food, quite an extensive and varied menu with dim sums a particular favourite. Service with a smile. Recommend it anytime.
Had date night at So Yum tonight, love that they have phone charger space at the table. The service was great and the food even better, amazing quality for using the entertainer app. We love! And will be back 😍
Had another great dinner here, this time focusing on the ever-excellent dim sum menu. Both the lamb and chicken gyozas were mouth-wateringly good and the chicken and sweet potato croquettes were also a surprisingly delicious new addition to my regular rotation.
Solo date and wanted some Asian food.
I enjoyed the service and atmosphere of the place. Not too packed, staff were friendly and accommodative. I will definitely be going there again. I love that they cater for vegans and vegetarians. Would be nice if their menu had some images especially for those trying something out for the first time.

The location of So Yum is nestled in the heart of the mall where you can just feel a buzz and gets you excited to enjoy it all.
The waiters of the restaurant are extremely easy to get a hold of, and are very helpful and attentive to your table. The table and cutlery were clean too.
The food quality is seriously amazing! There is a wide choice of Asian food, but of high quality. There is not one negative aspect about it at all. Everything came on time, and promptly. You could essentially taste every ingredient provided, everything was fresh!
We also had cocktails here, which were mind blowing in flavor!
This is worth your stop, and a return visit for sure!
The food at So Yum was so yummy! The entire experience added to the deliciousness of the food. One can tell that their ingredients are fresh and authentic. We enjoyed the Spicy Seafood Noodles and the Basil & Chilli Beef was to die for. The meal was rounded off with a baked lemony cheesecake accompanied by a scoop of ice cream. Service was swift and efficient, With a lovely atmosphere. I am definitely going back for more So Yum 😋
The restaurant always has a good atmosphere. The staff is friendly. There are ladies who offer back massages for a fee at your table. But the most important part of this restaurant is the food. It has always been amazing and they have a great selection of dim sum to choose from.
Great choice for an Asian food lover. We tried their sushi, spring rolls, noodle dishes, fish and duck mains, and curries, and they all were delicious and not too spicy for a Northern European palate. We had dinners over the weekend several times and the service & atmosphere were great!
It is evident that something special is going on here. In some dishes the combination of ingredients somehow deliver a level of taste that is orders of magnitude greater than the sum of their parts. From Dim Sum to mains, every dish was astounding. Whether it was a perfect execution of a well known classic, or a reinterpretation, they manage to strike the right balance and leave you wanting to try everything on the menu.
New location, new menu with a few of the old favorites. Just live this place and the service is amazing. I love the hot duck or beef basil, but the wonton soup is amazing as well. Sushi is good and their cocktail menu is really amazing.
Asian fusion food. I always have the same dish the Crispy Ginger Fish which is fish fillets, ginger, chilli and fish sauce…with rice. They also offer noodles. I love this dish. The other dish is the Pla Chu Chee which is Crispy-fried fish fillet in coconut curry sauce….also with rice. I’ve previously had dim sum as well. The restaurant tables are partly inside the restaurant and in the Hyde Park walk way. It’s minimalist design suits the character of the restaurant.
