Decent buffet at Hamachi.Not the best sushi in town but certainly above average for the price and they include a hefty allowance of sashimi and roses with the buffet deal.Staff are fun, at least to my experience and efficient on a moderately busy night. I havent experienced a full house. Sit at the belt or a table nearby for easy access to your desired dish or order off the menu if you dont mind a short wait. Corkage @ R45

You don't go to Hongs for the atmosphere or for a romantic night out. Its in a run down mall with the clunking from the downstairs bowling alley reverberating round the tables. However, the team are friendly, service efficient and the sushi great value for money. Not the finest sushi in Cape Town but consistent, well presented and fresh. I often get a takeaway and the platters take the stress out of home entertaining, especially if ensure that your party is on discount take away night.

It must have been a decade ago when I first tasted Tai Ping's food. Since then, I've never been disappointed.At first, I used to get takeaways from the cosy little takeaway branch next to their restaurant. I remember being impressed with their chow mein: it's not just the usual "noodles with some cabbage and soy sauce" that one finds at some places around town. The cashew nut chicken also impressed me.Then, thankfully, I visited the restaurant. Since then, I've celebrated more than one birthday there, and it's impressed everyone I've taken there over the years - friends, family, colleagues.Firstly, I must mention the service. This is an authentic family-run restaurant, complete with warm service and a sense of pride and caring. Colin has offered better and more personalised help in planning shared birthday meals, recommending and discussing dishes, and even helping us arrange transport for guests back in the days before Uber! I feel welcome every time I visit.The quality of the food matches that of the service. This isn't one of those "generically Asian" restaurants where you'll find only the most popular and well-known dishes (I'm thinking of those places that offer the usual crowd-pleasers: Japanese sushi, Thai curries, Chinese sweet and sour...): no, they specialise in Szechuan cuisine. The chow mein and sweet and sour dishes are available, and they're delicious, but it's worth exploring the Ants Climbing a Tree, the pork belly, the honey garlic chicken, the foo yong, the sizzling Kingklip, the crispy duck...We usually get a selection of mains for the table to share, and I strongly recommend this approach, because there are so many excellent dishes to taste. Starters include tasty and interesting spring rolls and dim sum, but I'm particularly fond of their soups (the Wonton Mein and Westlake ones especially). We're usually too full from starters and mains to have dessert, but the bowties are crisp and not sickeningly sweet, and the sesame-covered dim sum filled with sweet red bean paste is lovely.I cannot recommend it strongly enough.
