My best dim sum experience in Cape Town. Yes, the ambiance is quiet and whacky, yes, the place is overly lit and bright, yes its basically a hole in the wall takeaway joint and yes, communication can be a slight challenge. But forget all that. None of it detracts from the warmth of the service and the superb quality of all the food (okay, maybe not the edamame, but everything else). We ordered most menu options available and it was all delicious. The lamb skewers are a particular highlight, as is the mushroom salad. Cannot wait to go there again. Book the big table, go with 5 of your closest mates and go in with the correct mindset (no, this is not fine dining), take some booze (they have no liquor license, and no corkage fee), order everything on the menu and still pay next to nothing for a great dinner. Highly recommended.

I was quite excited to eat here, I love dim sum and especially steamed buns. I sat at the large shared table, and was served quickly. The table was grubby. There were no vegetarian steamed buns on the menu so I asked for the vegetarian steamed dumplings. I also ordered edamame to start. The edamame was over cooked, and not very fresh. The owner/waitress/cook admonished me for not eating the skins, and I heard her complaining to someone in the back about 'skins this and skins that'. The dumplings arrived quickly, without any dipping source. there were some bottles on the table but nobody could tell me clearly what was in them, other than the middle bottle was 'hot'. I took a bite, tasted weird, swallowed and wondered if it was soya? I then looked at it, and thought it could be port. (I don't eat piggies - pigs are friends not food). I waved the owner/waitress/cook over and said to her, are you sure this is vegetarian and she looked closely, and said no, no, that is pork. She was so sorry, and went off to remedy it. My adventure was however ruined, and I didn't feel like doing anything other than going to brush my teeth and drink some water. I stood up to tell her not to worry, and saw that the dim sum actually comes frozen, out a big chest freezer. I then paid for the whole meal - no discount, and left. I won't go back.
