Really great atmosphere, staff are friendly and try to accommodate you as best possible. It's a bit expensive but I really enjoyed the all you can eat sushi and dim sum buffet. I enjoyed the variety and being able to taste food I wouldn't normally order
Had such a nice evening. Food (dimsum and sushi) was really good, waiters and the owner/manager were so friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back for the dimsum and sushi buffet!
Love love udon noodles had their prawn option and wow best I have ever had! Will definitely be back! The service also outstanding! They also have a sushi buffet I would like to try
All you can eat sushi! Who can say no to that? Love it. Their sushi is amazing. And you can have the choice of dimsum as-well if you choose the all- you- can-eat option. Been going here for years and never been disappointed.
Love the buffet option! My boyfriend and I go here quite often and take the buffet option every time!
He’s a big fan of the pork & prawn dim sum. And I’m inlove with the salmon crispy cup!!! The sushi is always super fresh. Sometimes it’s a bit slow, depending how busy it is, but it’s totally worth it. Management is so friendly and always checks in on how your meal is going. And everytime we go we receive a free shot of sakke 👌🏻 I will always return

The best sushi in town!
Their eat as much as you want special is phenomenal and worth every cent. We have been to this friendly restaurant for more than one special occasion and we are NEVER dissatisfied!
Thank you for your great service, delicious sushi and tasty Dim sum.
Adored this place ! The staff were so friendly and the service was amazing.
My family and I decided, instead of having one dish each, we ordered Set Menu A, B & C. There was such a variety of food and so much food, that everyone got to taste everything. It was so tasty and definitely worth it ! I recommend ordering a variety of dishes instead of an individual dish.
I did thoroughly enjoy the lemon prawns and sweet and sour pork. They were very good !
Great sushi and a good variety! Try the chicken noodle soup! The Chinese food is ok. Not the best, but ok. Otherwise, good value for money and well worth a visit!
Had some sceptism after reading some negative comments here but what an awesome place! We were a group of 6 and had a wide range of items from the menu including the dum sin buffet and all were excellent. The atmosphere was awesome. Service was excellent and management were present and involved and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful evening and the food was divine. Attention to detail very good. Worth going to. The owner is visible and interacts with patrons. Menu choice varied from sushi to dim sum to Chinese, catering to everyone's palates.
My favourite sushi place. The prices are decent and the sushi is delicious! The staff is very friendly and the food is great. Their calamari main is one thing I can't seem to do without. I've enjoyed being there with many of my friends and even alone. Will definitely be going back

One can tell by the stacked plates that the sushi was great! No reservations required, this was a buffet which is excellent for sushi lovers...got served saki which was complimentary, service was good, prices are reasonable, desert did take a while to be served though. Stoil Michaylov thanks for the treat
I was a bit apprehensive about coming here but I must say it was a good experience. The sushi and dim sum buffet is really good value for eat all you can for R168 which includes deserts and the lot.
The staff and management team are a real bunch of friendly guys which take their offering very seriously and their willingness to ensure you're comfortable and happy really give the place a cool vibe.
Smashing the buffet at R168 ...... got my money's worth.
I'm a regular here because the staff is always super friendly, the food is good and the atmosphere is really nice. The sushi buffet is such a great deal. My go to for sit-down sushi!

Pleasant Chinese/Thai restaurant which also offers a sushi menu and a set Chinese menu (3 options). Excellent value for money as portions are extremely generous. I had the chicken sweet corn soup to start and instead of just a single serving I received a bowl to serve from, with an amount sufficient for at least 3 or 4 portions! The chicken Thai green curry although again a generous portion was not served as it usually is in most places (in a bowl with a lot of sauce, broth or gravy). It was plated together with the rice. While it was tasty, I wouldn't order it again. Service was efficient and friendly and the owner came past more than once to check that all was ok. For variety and value I'd recommend it.
I came here for all you can eat sushi and dim sum on Wednesday night with some friends. Service was slow as the trainees were making the food. But the sushi and dim sum and friendly manager are worth the rating.
*old review* This place has got some good food. We had lunch here one afternoon and we decided on the set menus which is a good choice to have a varied selection but you not entirely sure what to choose at the same time.
The staff even helped me to try my hand at chopsticks which I totally suck at. Eventually I was given a Spoon lol. Their chicken soup is very good. Need to go back and retry my skills...
For a good Chinese meal and great atmosphere this is the place. One thing the pricing has gone up a bit from the last time good sushi as well
This place has been around forever and continues to offer good Chinese sit down and take away food. My favourite is the black bean chicken. They also have a sit down sushi bar, although there is better sushi in the area.
A pleasant place very spacious. You have the option of the conveyor or off the menu. The food is fresh. Where I was pleasantly surprised if the fact the owner are hands on and willing to help and assist. You can even create your own sushi master piece which my son loved. The husband is walking around offering samples of saki. I will def come back again.
The sushi here is pretty amazing. The service is good and the staff are very friendly. The deck is amazing with a beautiful view. The decor is pretty.
The best Chinese in the area. Love their Chicken and corn soup and their Chow Mein are very good too. They also have delicious sushi and Dim Sums.
Sushi is always good at Kong Sing. Always made fresh, and they have a wide variety of sushi, including bacon sushi. Sushi pricing is also good with 30% off during the week. Would definitely recommend Kong Sing
The view is spectacular from this restaurant. The service is friendly and efficient. The variety is large and the food is ok. Some of the dishes lean towards fusion rather than fully Chinese but overall the restaurant is decent.
Had their Sushi Special here quite a few times and each time was great . Their Sushi is delicious ! Love the different versions that they make , always a taste bud explosion . Staff are also really nice and attentive .

Chinese food is something that I think most South Africans look for. Kong Sing is a great place to enjoy well prepared food and great service!
I've eaten at Kong Sing on a number of occasions over the past few years. Every time I eat there I am very happy with the food but their service always seems to let them down a bit. The waiters are friendly but they take a long time to do anything. My recommendation is the all you can eat Dim Sum and Sushi.
One of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to. The food is phenomenal. It's one of the few places you can order the all you can eat and it is not restricted to sushi which really got my attention. Everything is fantastically priced and the Manager takes great pride in making you feel at home. It is definitely somewhere I would suggest you go through to and you will not be disappointed at all. Fantastic day.
Great sushi at an affordable price! Really exciting new range as well as their dim sum menu included. Service is good. We are now known as regulars😊
Go here all the time, been going there for about 5 years now. Friendly staff. Love the sushi menu. Love the sushi and dim sum special, and their crispy beef is excellent.
Such a great Asian restaurant! Last night we went for dinner and opted for the buffet. For R158 you get all you can eat sushi as well as many,many options of Dim Sum. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. A definite date night must do!
Great service, good sushi and a good for value buffet dinner. We have had couples evenings and big celebratory feasts here and have always had a great time. It has a beautiful view of the city scape on the outside deck (fit for summer), a good selection of inside tables and the sushi conveyor is always stocked with a variety of different plates.
This is one of my favorite Asian restaurants. On Valentine's Day of 2014, I was fortunate enough to have been able to get a table without a reservation on the rooftop. It was fool moon and beyond romantic. Needless to say, it was the perfect romantic environment then and the food was nothing short of incredible. All their meals are lovely and definitely worth the money.
As long as I can remember Ive been going to Kong Sing. I used to always only order the Sweet & Sour Pork but as Ive grown Ive learnt to appreciate all that they have to offer, which is a large variety. They have an awesome selection of dim sum and sushi and the all you can eat buffet is pretty famous. The portions are massive and you'll never feel cheated.
Good food at a decent price. Sushi is made with care and precision. The only negative thing is the slow service. For the rest its a good experience.
Good food. Still enjoy Set Menu B. Very accommodating to change elements in the set menu so you get to enjoy small bits of everything you enjoy.
Sticky pork dim sum delicious!
Kong Sing.. Good value for money! Food is always tasty. One of my "go to places" when you simply know what you want and you know you won't be let down!
Decided to go he four my birthday last year with the family and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The food however is not cheap for the quantity served but the quality is good though. The is a good selection die vegetarians here. The manger is very hands on and thus the reason for the service being very good. I was very impressed with the waitress who served us and ran around all night to ensure we were happy. They offer Chinese and Japanese food here. The litchi sauce for their fried food is very good and worth a try. There is also a dim sum menu for those who want to indulge in an all you eat buffet. I will most certainly be going back here as the food is not oily and is of a consistent standard.
The staff are very friendly and I've been going here with my boyfriend for all you can eat sushi for a number of years and would definitely recommend it. The all you can eat has quite a large selection of sushi, spring rolls, dumplings and a wide variety of other dishes. The salmon avo cups are a must if you are a sushi lover! The chicken chow mein and sweet and sour pork are great choices too.
Overall: unusually good for group outings, especially for sushi
Atmosphere: nicely themed, warm in most places
Seating: comfortable, mostly spaced out adequately
Service: sometimes slow, sometimes fast, polite
Food: delicious, good prices

I must admit I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but the couple of times I've been to Kong Sing, I've never been disappointed - but that said I've never been wow'd either.
At my last visit - I decided to venture from my usual dishes and I found a dish that's listed on their sides menu - which is odd because firstly the portion is huge - and secondly it's perfect for a vegetarian as it has bean curd, a variety of mushrooms and Chinese spinach (just remember to ask them to skip the oyster sauce or use a vegetarian option if they have)
My companion's sweet crispy chicken was deemed only okay. The times my mom has been there (and she's the fussy one) - she's always said the food wasn't too bad.
Looking around at what other diners were having, I noticed they have some very interesting dim sum variants - nothing traditional you'd find in Hong Kong but I guess kudos to them for being innovative and experimenting - it seemed to go down well.
The reason however that I haven't scored them any higher ...
a) I'm chinese - traditionally if I go to a Chinese restaurant I expect to be able to order a pot of chinese tea (usually in a dodgy chipped teapot - it adds to the charm ), but at Kong Sing I was advised you have to pay R10 for a cup of tea, with free top ups - hmmmm .. No.
b) The service on this particular night was really frustrating. The restaurant is quite large so it's quite possible to not be seen even if you wave your arms around trying to flag someone down to attend to you. They were busy but not packed to capacity in any means, that said I would expect the waiting staff loitering around the front desk to rather be facing the dining room to see if anyone requires anything, rather than having their backs turned. The waitress serving us was surly as hell.
Overall not my favorite Chinese Restaurant, but I wouldn't bolt at the idea of dining here again.

After reading many good reviews my wife and I decided to break our habitual visits to our usual favorite Asian establishments and try out Kong Sing.
They have a dim sum and sushi buffet on offer for 149 madibas. I usually stray from buffets but this was a large selection of their sushi an more dim sum than you can wish for. All freshly prepared rather than a buffet, to say it was great value is an understatement.
The view from the balcony is the typical yet scenic view of JHB and summer time sunsets would be very picturesque from the seating area.
Inside decor was evident of it being an old establishment with some modern decor to bring it up to date.
We sampled many of the dishes on offer which we're both quick to come out as well as very tasty. Accompanied by an assortment of Asian sauce combinations which complemented the dishes well. The only dish I wouldn't recommend are the pork ribs in sesame. But that was hardly enough to put a bad taste in my mouth on the overall meal.
As Natasha stated in the previous review, they have some strange variations on their sushi menu , which of course meant my curiosity had me try them. The bacon sandwiches were an experience and not too bad, the spicy seared fillet nigiri was a great flavour combination which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The dining area was bustling and the service was fantastic. We were well tended to by our waiter and the manager also stopped by to make sure our experience was being enjoyed. One of the better Chinese / sushi restaurants I've been to. And at great value too.
We went to Kong Sing for the first time last week and were nicely surprised! We had sushi and even if i wouldn't call us connoisseurs in sushi, we've tried many different ones in the past. The ones we had in King Sing were exceptional! They were fresh, they came quickly and the selection was awesome! I particularly like the "other" sushi options such as the bacon and crispy chicken ones! The staff was very efficient and friendly. But the cherry on the cake was the lady owner. We asked our waitress if they sold their tea pots in the small shop at the front of the restaurant? She went to check and told us that they didn't. A few minutes later, the owner came and GAVE us one of their tea pot! It wasn't new but we didn't care! It was such a nice gesture! We will most definitely go back very soon!

Thanks to Warren and his staff, we had a wonderful evening tonight. Our meals were exceptional. Kindest regards, Kallie and Desiree Van Heerden
Our third time coming for the AYCE buffet, and amazing as always!!
The food is made to order, so it’s always fresh and tasty.
For AYCE, R208 is an absolute steal!
Our personal favourites would be the black bean sauce with beef and noodles, bbq l pork rice spring roll, and of course the sushi.
The service is always incredibly fast, friendly and efficient.
The atmosphere is very relaxed, with the TV usually playing a movie (we watched the 1989 Batman today) and some music quietly playing in the background.
My boyfriend and I were craving good sushi and this adorable family restaurant hit the spot. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the buffet option and truly feasted wow!! Genuinely incredible food, and I’m pretty particular if I say so myself. The wasabi sushi is definitely not for the faint of heart though! I’ve never reviewed a place but needed to come here and give them 5 stars :)
Great restaurant, highly recommend going here if you love Asian cuisine! The service was outstanding and the food tasted absolutely delicious, 10/10 overall.
Awesome customer service, and the food was delicious. The crispy dumplings and sushi are the reason I'll be visiting them again.
The food was great! The service excellent!
The chairs are uncomfortable and it was very cold and very quite.
The people who work there are so lovely ! My boyfriend and I had the best sushi and the pork dumplings (crispy) are AMAZING! Definitely going back asap.
Had a great time with my family here today. The food was delicious and service was amazing. You would notice immediately the warm family owned business vibes as everyone went out of their way to make us comfortable. Sushi is to die for, buffet was lovely. Will definitely be back soon. The guy who served us Warren was so caring and attentive.
Sometimes it's hard to get away from all the noise but this place is so wonderful its peaceful, quiet and great few I will definitely come back again and food prices are really cheap 10/10 rating from me
Delicious food, friendly service. Was definitely worth the visit and wait. Will definitely be back!!
Really enjoyed the service and the food. We had a great evening.
Wonderful service. Fantastic food. Affordable prices. Always impressed when we go there. Such a variety on the menu. Definately try the exotic drinks they have available.
Not just your average asian cuisine...
You have to give this place a try. Just a great selection of Asian Foods.
The best Asian restaurant I’ve ever been to in Johannesburg . We’ve had the buffet on two occasions. We did not have to wait too long between servings. All the food was freshly prepared and the price was beyond reasonable for the quality and quantity. The fried dumplings were the highlight on the buffet menu. The staff we’re also very friendly.
This place is awesome! Sushi buffet is amazing with great variety! Would suggest sitting at the Sushi bar for the buffet and you can order from the menu too! It’s cool that you can order other food as well as part of the all you can eat sushi buffet and dessert. Very clean and the owners are super friendly too! Really nice restaurant!
Amazing food with great service so much care and love goes into every detail! Made my birthday extremely special. THE BEST SUSHI AND DIM SUM I HAVE EVER EATEN.
We frequently went to Bedford center before lockdown and we're so happy you've reopened in cyrildene. Love your food, hospitality and Asian authenticity.
I've eaten at Kong Sing before (both eating in and from Mr Delivery) and have always had good food. We had the Dim Sum and Sushi buffet this time, and it was really delicious. You order off of each menu, and get the usual condiments of soya sauce, ginger, and wasabi. There's a lot of variety on both menus, so we will definitely be returning to try the items we didn't eat this time.
I highly recommend them.
#sushibuffet great sushi and any Chinese food you would like, really good food, nice atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommended and awesome host. Vakue for money sushi everything is really fresh and a good place for a function.
