Service overall was friendly and welcoming ,starters delayed to get out but otherwise we were really happy with food and service here.Heat on dishes was catered to be less spicy

Weâve been to Wangthai with 5 friends. We all took a different dish, so we could taste and share the food. The friend rice was a bit plain. There was not much difference between the regular white rice and the fried rice. It was fried at the bar minimum. The chicken with cashew however was to die for. Just like the duck with honey. My friends had the green curry with chicken. Originally it was with lamb, but they changed it into chicken. Also the wok beef was very nice. The taste buds were wide open and enjoying every moment of it. In combination with the perfect South African wines from Stellenbosch... I strongly recommend this restaurant if you crave for Thai food.

We had fallen in love with Momo Baohaus in Greenside so had to try this one. If anything, it's better with the option of Soko (mini skewers) that are FANTASTIC! The Matterhorn lamb and mint skewers are a winner as are the Krakatoa and Fitzroy (chicken and prawn respectively).The bao reign supreme in my book. The Kung Pow Bao is amazing. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you for visiting this amazing restaurant. Remember to bring your own drinks as it saves you a packet.Very highly recommended!

Asian Fusion food is one of my favourites so we had a very happy healthy lunch at So Yum. Their combinations of salads all sound wonderfully mouthwatering but we settled for the pulled duck and beetroot salad,with caramelized nuts and a mustard mayo dressing. It was well presented and appetizing and it really was delicious. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. It isn't the cheapest place to eat a salad, but they use expensive ingredients so I guess you get what you pay for.

Nice atmosphere and good service (even if it was almost empty).We order few dim sum but the quality wasnât good.The salmon was really tasty but small portions and overpriced.The deserts was good but nothing special If Iâll go again Iâll try the sushi.For 3 dim sum, 1 salmon, 1 water and 2 deserts we paid 700 rand.A bit overpriced

Reviewed By Robert T
At first I was put off by the extensive menu but was quickly charmed by the attentive professional staff. And then the food started coming out - everything was superb.The Peri-Peri Chicken Liver appetizer is a must as is the grilled calamari. We shard and tasted entree items from a Chicken Curry to Barramundi fish with vegetables to Lamb Chops and Salmon Poke Bowl - each was delicious The only reason Iâm not giving it 5 stars is that the food all came out too quickly. Before we could finish appetizers the entrees were arriving and it felt rushed. An interesting problem in South Africa where many restaurants are known for poor and slow service.....The place has a great vibe and is packed or a reason - they deliver good food at a great price!
