One of the best food experiences we have had in a while! Cannot wait to go back and sink my teeth into their amazing bao buns.
1st Sunday of the month is brilliant!
Vibey restaurant in Melville. First Sunday’s are great here.
I’ve been wanting to eat here for a long time and I regret not going sooner because the food was amazing, the service was great too. My new favourite spot
It was my friends last night in South Africa and we just wanted to go out for drinks. I’ve been wanting to go to Love Me So for a while so it was at the top of our list. We just ordered drinks that night. Between the four of us, we all enjoyed our drinks. I ordered the Japanese slipper (very potent). The service was really great. We met the manager who was very sweet and funny. The day we went there was a wine tasting event like thing going on. We were told that it happens often on the last Tuesday of the month. It is definitely something that I would like to try next month. Amazing drinks, amazing service and great for groups

This has to be one of my favourite dinner places. The food was good before, but since they revamped the ramen menu the food is downright amazing. Service is nice and quick, but also just the right amount of relaxed that you don't feel swarmed, which fits perfectly into the aesthetic of the restaurant as a whole. They have a bit of an industrial look going for them and it's just such a cool, relaxed place to sit and chow.
The Izakaya menu is loaded with great choices and I'd go for the wings and the korokke everytime. If you're a small table consider the edamame, it's good for a nibble. If you're going for some of the Izakaya foods, I'd also consult the cocktail menu. My go-to is the Japanese Slipper, or the Hidden Dragon.
Tonkotsu ramen will forever and always be a favourite of mine and they do it great justice here, go for it if you have or haven't had ramen, it's just a good bowl. I have found the pork protein topping to vary in tenderness, but it isn't a deal breaker as long as the broth and noodles are up to standard. The Toridashi ramen is also a good choice if you're looking for something on the lighter side.
The panna cotta or the black sesame ice cream are a must if you're having dessert. Either or really, but you have to get at least one.
As a heads up, it can get crowded on the weekends which, for me at least, matches the mood pretty well, but better to say so than not.
I think it's absolutely worth the try if you haven't had much of this type of food, and if you have I'd still recommend it, they really do a good job.
The miso tofu ramen was delicious as were the love me so bowls! The venue is trendy and pleasant, and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Only surprise came at the end with the black sesame ice cream which is quite an acquired taste- I would not recommend it. Otherwise I would definitely go back and do it again 👌🏼
Went a couple of weeks back when I was craving ramen, and after following their Instagram and seeing their amazing food I decided to try it out for myself. Boy was I not disappointed!! My friend and I shared the Beef Tataki which the sauce was so flavoursome we could have with anything!! I would happily have it with toast! Foodies please judge me! For mains I had the Shio Chicken, and was so good I could have licked the bowl. My friend built her own ramen and hers too was great!! We swapped and shared so we can get the best of both. We both had the Hidden Dragon cocktail and was so moreish but alas driving so had to be sensible. The overall experience was great and the owner came over to make sure we were all good. I will say this now.... BEST RAMEN IN JOBURG!!! Try it!!
Another hidden gem. Had the most amazing fresh and delicious supper. We shared the tempura squid, salmon tataki, chicken wings and dak chicken bulgogi. Missing in the pics is the chicken ramen. Everything was so tasty and piping hot. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit. Yum yum!!
Oh man this place is great - we got all of the starter-type things - the aubergine is really sticky and delicious, the favorite though was the pork pancakes - it’s their alternative to Peking duck and pancakes. Highly recommend!
Delicious cocktails (recommend the snake racer) and good service. Ramen was a little bit disappointing, as pork was bland and overcooked. Will give it a second chance though, as the menu has interesting variety and they do half-price cocktails on Saturday afternoon. Lovely setting and parking a bit easier than other places in Melville. Within walking distance of underground parking at 27 Boxes.
This place is awesome! Very attentive staff, good food, vibey place. Enjoyed everything. The slow cooked pork neck gyoza is a must try.
Located on a quiet Joburg Street, this place is a nice cozy addition to the nightlife here. The wait staff were attentive and friendly, made delicious suggestions from the menu and kept us entertained with their humour too. The drinks where great. Each one having a strong unique taste that was balanced just right. The food tasted amazing. The pork dishes where my favourite. The pork had nice and crunchy bits to it that just made them devine. The vibe only picked up after dark when we went but even when the place was emptier it was nice to be in the little shop. Would definitely recommend this place. It tasted like a little piece of Japan in South Africa
Stopped to have a light meal and came across Love Me So! Delicious food. One can dine inside and outside. Nice find!
Had such a great lunch there the other day. It’s been a while since we were that side of town, but that made it well worth the trip. The ramen was soooo good! 😄
Wonderful place, scrumptious food, unique, delicious cocktails, friendly service and amazing ambience are just some of the reasons why this is one of my favorite places. It was an amazing experience and I will definitely be returning.
Customer service and Caleb the manager of Love Me So are synonymous the go hand in hand, Caleb was soo customer centric and fully clued up on he's menu hes recommendations literally smacked if you know what I mean we had a small child with us and he made us feel so comfortable he was great at handling both yound and old Caleb and Love Me So enhanced out Sunday afternoon what a delightful experience I recommend Love Me So ask for Caleb you wont be disappointed.
Loved everything about our dinner visit. We had cocktails and the death by chocolate dessert cocktail I ordered was strong and just as yummy. We ordered the Korean BBQ experience and were thoroughly satisfied with the portion sizes and marinade on the meat. Everything was delicious and we had so much food between two people that we had leftovers to take away. Will definitely be returning to try out other things on their menu.
Unique experience in the heart of Melville, it's a gem of a find, the food experience is a great intro into fusion Asian , friendly staff with a just big enough menu that everything is done pretty well and worth a try.
If you live around the area or keen to try some Asian fusion it's definitely between here and the various Momo's in Johannesburg.
We loved our dinner at Love Me So. The food was good, the cocktails delicious, the atmosphere great and the service excellent. Especially enjoyed the black sesame ice cream.
