4 1/2 stars from me. My favourite Chinese restaurant. The food is always excellent and I love the set menu. I often go with the intention of trying something else but the set menu always wins me over. It’s always busy and it’s best to book.
I love this little Chinese restaurant, it’s one of my favourites , I love their food and highly recommend the sweet and sour pork and fried kinglip .
You can't go wrong with Foo Wah if you're in the mood for Chinese. Had the Set Menu where you to try a whole lot of food from chicken and egg soup, chicken chow mein, sweet and sour pork to bow-ties and green tea. Love their Chinese food - always delicious. Had a table of about 20 people and they managed it well. Sweet and Sour Pork is an absolute winner!
Service is amazing if a little robotic, food though is awesome best Chinese food I've had in jhb. My favourite is the sweet and sour pork noodle.
This is a great no-nonsense Chinese food place. The decor is dated, but it sorta adds to the overall ambiance. The food is consistently very good and the staff very friendly. Good value for money.
I've been going to Foo Wah since I could remember and I have never been disappointed with their food. Whether it be takeaway or sitting down, their food is always consistent and amazing. I absolutely love their sweet and sour chicken, definitely the best I've ever had. It's not just the food that is amazing, the staff is super welcoming and friendly and you always feel welcome and at home.
Still one of the best in Jhb. And the only Chinese food you can get with a little bit of chilli heat (Sze-Tseun style) Fantastic service every time
One of my old favorite Chinese take aways. I grew up with Foo Wah as one of our regular take away choices. The decor remains unchanged, but this adds to the whole experience of the evening. The food has always been the same- somehow this is comforting knowing that you can always rely on coming here and knowing exactly what you are going to get. I had the vegetable chow mein and a vegetable spring roll. The food was fresh and delicious. The spring roll wasn't greasy at all. I also had a bow tie for dessert- this was delicious, not too sweet.
All time favourite Chinese restaurant! Old school authentic decor, music and family owned. You gotta love Erik the friendly manager who has been there for years . Whether it's for take aways, which are so popular you need to order before hunger sets in and changes you into a hangry foodie, or eat in you won't be dissapointed. If you plan to eat there be sure to make a booking. Favourites include the jam packed gigantic crispy spring rolls any one, chicken is my favourite, the chicken beansprout soup. If u are eating in the their specialities are a must, the chicken sze-tuen style that comes on a hot plate, sizzling in its sweet and sour sauce. Another favourite is the beef sze-tuen style - tomato based sauce. The sauce is delicious and the beef simply mouth in your tender. Order both with a side of noodles and you will leave simply happy go lucky with a tummy full of flavour! Fair value for money and delicious. #cheekychineasemust
So last night we decided to go back to Foo Wah for what used to be the best Chinese in the South. I was pleased to find that nothing has changed. The decor and furniture is dated but authentic and creates real atmosphere while the food is great. Once the meal is served the first thing that's comes to mind is that the portions are so big that the meal could have been shared by 2 people. Value for money gets a 10/10 from me. A fun night out with friendly staff and good food.
Awesome Chinese dining experience with great food, friendly service, and a unique atmosphere.
Staff are always so friendly, extremely helpful and make every effort to accommodate special requests, even when it's a bit inconvenient. Food is always fantastic, never once had a bad experience here in the 30 odd years I've been a customer. Portions are very generous and to top it all off, they are one of the very, VERY few restaurants whose food arrives hot and fresh via delivery, even if there's a delay. Ingredient quality is top notch.
Absolutely recommend!
I bought takeaways, and the food was great. We had soup, a vegetable spring roll, Shanghai steak with rice, and chicken chop suey. It was all great!
Have enjoyed Foo Wah over many, many years. Their food and service is truly lovely. They make you feel like family. Highly recommended.
My wife and I both settled for the set dinner menus - Chicken Soup, Deep-fried Prawns, Pork and Beef finished off with bowtie and tea
The food was excellent and the owner was very hands on, visiting each table checking that everyone was happy/satisfied
Spring rolls are huge for a starter!! Food was awesome and affordable, great value for money. Will definitely be back.
Had my Daughters 16th birthday here and it was amazing! So helpful. Food and service was excellent and the Decor is gorgeous. 👌😁
This is the OG of Chinese food in the south. This place has been serving good food for over 30 years. That says something about their quality. Same menu same food always return to get good food.
I am so full and happy I am going to bed. Proper quality food at a proper reasonable price. Just wish I would eat less when I visit.
Amazing food, exceptional service. Thank you to staff at Foo Wah for an awesome afternoon. Absolutely loved the lime milkshake 😁
