I went for the crab Buffet in July 2019.
Menu:
Spicy Crab Cakes
“Crabstick” Salad
--
Singapore Style Crab
Salt and Sichuan Pepper Crab
Three Flavour Crab
Egg-fried Rice
--
Ginger and Ice Cream
Cost: R 398.00 per person
Even though the price seems high per person it's totally well worth it.
The crabs are quite small but they make up for it with the flavor. The owner is very involved and pops around taking orders and seating people.
If you don't book beforehand you won't be able to attend the event. (it takes place once a year)
The salt and pepper #crab was my favorite.
Not to say that the others weren't good. All the crab meals that they served tasted fantastic.
I had only wanted larger crabs with more meat.
They provide everyone with aprons to eat the crab with.
The Red Chamber is a spectacular restaurant, serving delicious Chinese and other Asian cuisines. I am particularly a huge fan of the prawn sesame toast, which is crispy and has that amazing pop of flavor. I love the dim sum, spring rolls and potstickers. The restaurant makes you feel as if you really are in an ancient temple in some faraway land. I highly recommend this great place to eat.
We have been meaning to try this place for years and today an impromptu visit to Red Chamber. Tucked away in a corner at Hyde Park Shopping center. This restaurant has a lovely ambience and the decor is amazing. Because we weren’t so hungry we ordered a few starters and boy oh boy were we in for a treat. The cucumber salad is quite interesting. The spicy fried green beans were delicious. Next I ordered the ginger fish soup. Unfortunately it wasn’t what I expected and I could only have a few spoons. The owner saw that I was it enjoying the soup and came to ask what was wrong. She offered to make a spicy version for me and when it came back it was so delicious that we polished the bowl in minutes. I was quite impressed by that gesture. Definitely returning to try more!!
Red Chamber is, in my opinion, one of the best restaurants in Johannesburg. The food is consistently outstanding and the service is always at its best. As a vegan, often it's difficult to find great places to eat with meat-eating family and friends - Red Chamber is certainly the place in this instance. Whether it's a Monday night and there are only 5 or 6 seated tables, or if it's a Friday evening and the restaurant is full, the service remains consistent and the quality of the dishes never waver.
Great dining experience - premium Chinese cuisine perfect for group family-style sharing, only just a bit pricey (eg. crispy beef @ R105,00 is served on its own, no sides). Owners do their rounds and take special care with their patrons. Good spot all round.
Starters; Spring onion pastry, crispy tofu and pork potstickers.
Main; Salt & black pepper calamari and firecracker beef.
Amazing, tasty, authentic Chinese food. Great restaurant and ambiance. The crispy tofu was a bit bland, otherwise the rest of the dishes were spot on, the calamari is a must!
Craving dim sum, we decided on this spot. It was fairly quiet so we had our pick of the tables. Service was good and the drinks arrived quickly. We were asked if the beers were cold enough - a first. The soups were flavorful, nice and light. The dim sum and dipping sauce hit the spot. Prices are reasonable too, compared to other establishments.
I’m not going to waste time : three flavour chicken, home made noodles and some veg.
World rocked !!!!
And can’t wait to be back because my world needs rocking on the regular
If there’s 1 place that serves delicious Chinese food is here. This is a place where you need to come with at least 5 ppl to get maximum benefit of ordering all the favourites! I always over-order but no one seems to complain and just overeats! Peking duck, pork mince brinjal pot, special fried rice, garlic prawns, Golden spare ribs, sizzling beef and noodles. A feast for everyone!
24.05.2018 After test tasting some good wines at the Kaya FM wine festival that was happening in the mall we needed something to eat.
We did a quick stop here, but definitely want to go back again as we only ordered starters which filled us up. We ordered the Sesame toast and the Thin Spring Onion Pastry. Both were absolutely delicious and full of flavour. The staff were all pleasant and helpful with recommendations and a trip down memory lane when we got the bill and received a " White Rabbit" sweet.
Quality ingredients, great food, service and atmosphere. We love dinning here!
Authentic Chinese restaurant.
I had the Chicken noodle soup. The portion size was massive. Can share between 2 or 3 people at least. Vibe was great.
The service needs a spruce up (need soy sauce when Food arrives, need spoons for soups, things waiters should look out for) the resturant was not packed.... but.... I will be back! Absolutely great food and value for money

This is a Chinese restaurant that stands out with its authentic, traditional dishes. The duck is the star attraction here - served up with a delightful sauce that will have you relishing every bite. But, beware, it's the priciest item on the menu. Still, their noodles and rice options don't disappoint and deliver on quality.
For those with a plant-based palate, their tofu dishes are equally impressive. Now, the wine list might be rather ordinary, but the saving grace is the bottled Tsingtao beer they offer, adding a touch of Chinese authenticity to the mix.
Now, I must confess, I'm not the biggest fan of restaurants located in shopping centres. Yet, this place manages to break the mould and its location doesn't take away from the fact that the food here is seriously worth trying. Don't let the mall setting deter you!
The food was lovely and the waitress was very helpful in explaining all the different foods and what they contained . The sweet and sour pork was amazing . The chicken noodle soup and chicken noodle stir fry was so tasty and was presented beautifully .
Authentic Chinese food. Those green beans in a garlic black bean sauce out of this world. Can't wait for our next visit. Outstanding!!!!
The food and the service was outstanding in all respects and the ambience is spectacular.I had the great pleasure to be with my very good friend Robin Xu .He and
I have been visiting the Red Chamber since its inception and it is a big asset to Joburg!
Went on Father’s Day and even though it was full the service was still very good. The food here is always really good and comes in good portion sizes.
Been visiting The Red Chamber for years! The food is amazing & always consistent. Best Chinese restaurant I’ve been to.
Been going for years, food is consistent and so delicious! They are always willing to make a plan for allergies. Friendly staff, very lovely family that runs it. The prawn dishes are so good, I crave them!
