Their manul has been increased a lot of food. Still like to have lunch or dinner there with friends to use the traditional round table.
Clean food with lots choices. I think the handmade noodle is my favor.
Proper Chinese food from Chinese cookers and chefs. As a Chinese, their food reminds me taste of hometown.
Service is good as well. We go to this restaurant once a week per month.
Not sure how this has such a low rating. I lived in the far east for a short period of my life and this was like returning for an evening. If you want to experience not only authentic Chinese food, but also get a taste of their culture and atmosphere I highly recommend Kong Tai. If you don't like this restaurant, don't visit the far east, but don't leave a bad review just because they don't conform to your Western expectations. I feel privileged to have another region of the world open up a little piece of it in far away Joburg/South Africa. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to TRULY experience some well made far east asian food.
Food is consistently good. Peking duck is great.Dumplings always tasty. Friendly , pleasant staff and management
Large variety of dishes on the menu.
We went for lunch on Saturday (1 October 2016) with my boyfriend and a couple of friends.
The service is always super friendly and you're always greeted at the door with a smile.
The food is really tasty too. In my opinion everything is also quite reasonably priced.
I tried some of their prawn tempura sushi and it was really pleasant and freshly prepared!
Recommendation: although there is no picture attached, try their dumplings. One of my favourite dishes! 🍣🍤🍜
Food is very good.Although the really good dishes are all on a separate menu only in Chinese. Their handmade noodles is on that menu which is a shame because that's seriously the good stuff.They should look into translating that menu into English so the people that don't read Chinese can also experience the really good stuff. Service is ok. Nothing to write home about.
When you walk in, you are transported to Asia - restaurant was full and a melting pots of cultures. We did come later and when the restaurant emptied out, it was nice and quiet, but lacked the vibe. Food is delicious! Can highly recommend the Chicken & mushroom soup, wonton soup and the chicken black bean and chicken cashew dishes with the fried rice. Prices for the main courses are a little above-average, however the quantity and quality makes up for this. Try this little gem - you won't be disappointed!
An authentic Chinese experience! Spicy dishes are prepared well (prawns in chilli and garlic sauce is a MUST TRY). The duck dish we had was very tough though. Just about R100 for a main doesn't make it cheap but quality is superb. Definitely visit here again.
I liked this place a lot, it has a great set up. My sushi was delicious and fresh. The service was really good. I really like where the place is situated. I d say they need to play some tunes or have some sort of entertainment to make the experience more enjoyable as it was super quite... I felt awkward just talking. Otherwise, Pretty okay joint!
A nice Chinese restaurant to try when in the area. I ordered from their Korean menu which I probably won't be doing again as my dish was correct but lacked a few details to make it fully Korean.
I would love to come back here and try one of their stir fry dishes as I heard several other customers comment on how tasty they were. The menu is quite extensive and includes a separate sushi menu. I often find that it is difficult to choose a proper selection when a menu is as large as what Kong Tai has.
My waiter was quick and full of smiles and did not mind my request to hurry with the food as I had somewhere else to run to. All in all a good experience and worth another shot.
The food was authentic and very enjoyable. The waiters were very kind and willing. If you looking for a "cleaner" version of Cyrildene fare this is def a good option.
PS the place was packed with many chinese diners which is always a good sign!

This is only the take away menu. Their sit down menu is incredible!! Speciality madness! ~ I used their to come to this place with my family before kong tai moved ~ (for the second time). The food was just as I remember, crispy kingklip just like years ago! Their crispy beef strips are addictive! Huge portions and affordable. They serve traditional Chinese beer and soda. (Found sarsaparilla for the first time ever!) And there is a Chinese supermarket next door for home snacks :). Only complaint ~ service, but what more can you really expect.... :)
The food is really really good I rate it 5 star for Chinese feel and taste . Management and staff could be jacked up thou I would give the service 2 stars. The owners seem to watch TV in the restaurant and sort out administration issues in the dining area!
If you're looking for authentic Chinese food (outside of the Cyrildene area) then this is one of the better places to go, the fact that so many Chinese people frequent this place just shows this. The food is good however they could work a bit on the presentation. The staff are generally friendly but there has been one or two times where I've come across a staff member who had the "I'm here because I need to be here" attitude, which isn't very pleasant
Casual Chinese restaurant from everything authentic and wacky to the simple stir fry. Love this place for an early Sunday dinner. Service is average... And the food is well tastey and Chinese. I'm not a fan of highly fatty fried foods, so the dumplings, soups, and steamed fish is amazing... We tasted an authentic Chinese desert soup make with rice wine and pineapple with sesame balls. Very unique and an squires taste... Cool experience
Absolutely phenomenal restaurant with friendly staff and sublime food. The dumplings were cooked to perfection and were so juicy. I love the crispy beef the most. It was so thin and crispy that it melted in your mouth. The rice was a great addition to soak up the tasty sauce that came with it. Sushi was also fantastic. I would highly recommend visiting. Great prices for incredible food. You won't be disappointed. Also the views are so beautiful! Take a date here.
Kong Tai Chinese Restaurant, Morningside, Sandton.
A delightful Chinese Restaurant … well located in the Wedge Shopping Centre. This restaurant offers Chinese cuisine as well as Sushi. You must try the spicy fried chicken. It is amazing. The service is quick and servings are generous.
Authentic Chinese dining experience! The outside covered patio setting with great views are so enjoyable! The food is delicious and the staff are very knowledgeable!
Love eating here. Decent menu selection. Can find something for everyone.
For some reason I am addicted to the seaweed as a starter.... and for dessert, the red bean buns or red bean cake.
Awesome Sake as well.
The best part is that I can take (buy) dumplings home due to the little shop next door <3 and whatever other goodies I require.
This is one of my absolute favourite Chinese restaurants. Very wide selection of food. The dumplings and the bamboo with black mushrooms are awesome.
The service is excellent and the food you can tell that the veggies are fresh and all the ingredients are fresh and clean.
Fantastic authentic Chinese food! Not like the normal commercial takeaway type of food, but the proper recipes.
This is where the local Chinese people go to have food or for their birthday celebrations.
We had a private room with a lazy susan in the middle of the table that could rotate for us to share dishes.
Everything we ordered was superb. We had 12 different dishes that we shared amongst everyone. The food was more than enough for all to eat their fill.
U will definitely return here again!

Love that the menu is authentic asian cuisine.
Second time dining there last night to celebrate Chinese new Year.
Had my usual delicious starter of Fried Pork Dumplings. Followed by the Chicken and Cashew nut with Egg Fried Rice for my mains.
Tried some of my friends Sizzling Pork in Satay sauce, as always everything was delicious with excellent service. See you again soonest 😊
For my wife's birthday, a REAL Chinese dinner (or banquet), served the way they do in China. We even had a Chinese friend with to confirm the authenticity.
As could be expected the food from their extensive menu was excellent. The service quick and friendly, and all this at a remarkably reasonable price per head.
Highly recommended.
The food is always amazing here but they tend to have waitresses with no etiquette. Really hoping they'd give their staff proper training.
