Great food, drinks & service. Will adapt a meal to fit to diet type - like vegan or vegetarian. Absolutely loved the variety of Asian dishes on the menu.
Best Dim Sum in Johannesburg hands down. Twice fried beef with noodles or beef is the absolute best.
The food and service at Good Luck Club is consistently good.

The food at the Goodluck Club was great, I’m not normally a fan of Asian fusion type food but impressed. For starters we had hoisin ribs, which was tender and tasty. The missus had noodles and I had a beef satay, with veg instead of rice. Well worth a try if you’re in the area!
Dim Sum special on Tuesday’s is my ultimate at this quaint spot in amidst the bustle of Illovo’s dining spots. Have been there several times and it has yet to disappoint. Restaurants with smaller focused menus such as The Good Luck Club always seem to get it right.
Ok so this place can be a bit pricey but really love to eat here because their dim sum menu is awesome. My boyfriend and I love to order a few plates of different Types of dim sum and spring rolls etc and we end up eating tapas style (probably why it ends up so expensive) - there are so many yummy options that it’s almost necessary to try them all. Really love to take friends out here because it’s a relaxed atmosphere and a great meal that can be shared and enjoyed by all. Tuesdays they have a half price dim sum special and it’s amazing. Love the ambiance, located in Illovo near some of the most busy restaurants it’s a great location- a tad small so I would suggest booking but worth a try. Really, you won’t be sorry.
Tasty food - we enjoyed everything we ordered. Dim sum and main meals as well. The service however leaves a lot to be desired. The place itself lacks ambience and warmth.
A good experience all round. The food was amazing, would definitely recommend the twice fried beef, and I’m going back for some more of that at some point. Good service, friendly and helpful.
Best dim sum I have tasted. We went for Tuesday specials, R100 for 10 dim sum and we were not disappointed. I only gave 3.5 stars because the restaurant wasn’t as cozy as it has appeared, we were there on a cold night and there was a strong breeze. I’m definitely going to go back.
You can pretty much order anything to eat at GLC and you will not be disappointed.
Decently priced and absolutely delicious, the only criticism is that some of the waiters are incredibly inattentive and one has even bordered along rude.
Good food and rubbish service service seems to be the trend in this particular area in Illovo so come here only if you’re prepared for it.
My absolute favourite dim sum place in Joburg. The food is always so amazing & even if you're not a fan of dim sum, there's a lot to choose from on the menu. They've also recently started a special on a Tuesday where you can get 10 pieces of dim sum for R100 - which is definitely worth it. The service is usually very good & the overall vibe of the place is lovely. Definitely a must-go-to!
Delicious food!!! Great, flavorful Asian cuisine. So many amazing looking options, I'll definitely have to go back and try the others!
A lovely clean, cozy, rustic feel with minimalist decor but a handmade feel to the furniture. It was quiet when we went there but we noted that an effort has been made to add functional acoustic design (something often overlooked in modern restaurants), so that's a plus in my book.
Went for a friend's birthday party and was most surprised by the outstanding quality of food being served. Definitely one of the best curies I've ever had (the red chicken and prawn curry). Not to mention that, even with there being 20+ people, the service was still exceptional with meals being served within 20 mins of ordering. I would absolutely make a plan to go again and would recommend it highly.
The Good Luck Club is under new management and the food and service are exceptional. We had 17 people there for a birthday dinner. The food came out promptly with no mistakes, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Our waitress, Grace, was very good, friendly and attentive. We look forward to returning.
The best dim sum I've had in South Africa! A really nice little place that's good for gatherings of a couple of friends. The other food is good too, but give the dim sum a try first (there's a great special available on Tuesdays). A few local craft beers are on offer.

Devine Asian cusine. Really delicious dishes and the service is great. Make sure you book because the restaurant is tiny. Additional paid and safe parking can be found at the top of illovo on the opposite side and parking on the road is sometimes a huge mission and should be avoided if possible. The best thing about this restaurant has to be their potstickers and dim sum - absolutely delicious.
Best dimsum in town and the crispy twice fried beef is defnitely not far off. Good service and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Twice fried beef was awesome. I can definitely recommend it. Service is good. Nice and cozy atmosphere.
Delicious Asian food! Had a good evening catching up with friends here. They even have some CBC craft beer on tap!
I cannot recommend the twice fried beef enough. You can substitute the rice with egg noodles if you like.
Excellent food their ribs and dim sum are amazing. We will definitely be returning.
