Great cantonese food. Ask for the specials of the day you will be in for a gastronomic treat with unusual dishes. The chef is always accommodating for those with a discerning palate.
The sing fei rice is so yummy. So few restaurants in Johannesburg know how to simply cook rice...
Tried the crispy pork which was delicious as recommended by the owner. The spicy calamari was not so special though.
I am so happy to have found this place! It is the (decent) Chinese food I have been looking for for years because my preference goes for Cantonese food.
The take away prices are reasonable too. But I don't mind sitting there. Went there on a Saturday night (8.15pm-ish ) and we were served food within 15 minutes.
There is no need to impress anyone there which is sometimes what is needed.
My dad likes it here and he is damn fussy. Terms of Cantonese food it is the best in Joburg. If my dad says it I believe it. As he lives in Hong Kong and when he visits here it is go to place.
Decor ain't jazzy but you get decent canto food.
Plus those amazing custard buns are almost like the ones in HK.
A great Cantonese style Chinese restaurant. If you want authentic and affordable Chinese food this is one place for you :) their garlic seasonal veggies is the best I've had in SA. I was so into the food I forgot to take photos, haha.
There are a lot of Chinese tourist groups at this place. Any time of the day. This is a good sign. As per usual, you have to have an argument about ordering anything they deem not to be suitable for the pallette of the westerner. They are generally right tho. Jellyfish has absolutely no flavour, with the texture of a rubber band. The starter platter is great. The duck is nice. The spring onion crab is excellent...but with all crab (apart from soft-shell) its an event to eat.
It seems that the more authentic the Chinese restaurant, the more drab and slightly odd the decor must be. We had to request that the protective plastic covering be removed from over our table cloth.... the ubiquitous lazy susan was there... much to the delight of the young nephews. The food was great - we ordered a variety of dishes to share, and each one was delicious. I can definitely recommend the crispy sweet and sour pork, as well as the prawn cashew nut. The service was personally carried out by the owner of the restaurant - but then again, our table of 12 was the only reservation on a Friday night. This restaurant deserves more patrons - the food is good value for money and very tasty...
Chinese food is by far my favorite :D ! Having been to China , I can confidently say that this restaurant is up to standards. I love coming here with my boyfriends family because Mrs Pen ( The owner) always gives us the food that they eat as a family and not the commercial food that South Africans like. The decor is odd but don't let that give you a bad impression, the food is made with love and is very authentic. My favorite dish here is the crispy beef which can easily send me into a food coma due to over eating . Chinese people tend to eat more veg than protein, so be sure to try out different types of delicious greens.
This chinese place is very close to home for us so it's really convenient. We have gotten takeaway from here a few times.
The food is really good! We always get the sweet and sour prawns and they are delicious. They are always crispy and super tasty. This comes with a dipping suace. We also order the egg fried rice to go with it. This rice is so tasty! We have also tried the chicken fried rice. This is also surprisingly tasty. I really enjoyed this.
The owners are very friendly and always very helpful. The service is so quick. It normally takes 15 minutes of prep time and the food is always very fresh!
Very specialised Chinese place that caters for bus loads of tourists. However walk-in customers are welcome. Try the set menu, it is very good value for money.
Mrs. Penn does a spectacular job of providing real authentic food from the Cantonese region. They use fresh, seasonal vegetables with quality proteins. They have traditional, special meals from time to time which you can request - we had rock cod with fresh veggies the other day which she called us to tell us was available.
The atmosphere is great for 5 to 8 people around a round table, spinning the lazy Susan around to share a bunch of meals with friends, ask mrs. Penn to select some good dishes.
A good old style Chinese restaurant, complete with set menus. Food is very good and very reasonable. While some may find the decor very dated, we feel it adds to the experience.
They are open 7 days a week from
11:00-14:30, 17:00-21:30
