Chinese Food in Cape Town
If you’re in the mood for some spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, vegetable lo Mein, or a shrimp chow mein, look no further than the precious Mother City in all her multi-cultural glory.
Whether you’re enjoying your food at the restaurant table or you prefer the comfort of your own couch, accompanied by a glass of wine, the unique, irresistible flavours of the orient will have you licking your fingers and chopsticks at the end of each meal.
Fill your bowl with tasty nibbles of steamed buns, wontons and potstickers at the South China Dim Sum Bar situated on Long Street in the city bowl. Or if you’re closer to the Southern Suburbs, head over to the Mainland China restaurant in Claremont.
In my first-year escapades as a University student, I’d frequent the Mainland China with friends to exploit their all-you-can-eat R55 Sunday lunch special. So, if you’re a student or on a budget, do with this information what you will. Another firm favourite is Monk’s Chinese Food. Apart from the convenience of ordering your food via WhatsApp, this popular takeaway service offers an unmatched taste of China. They are the best bet for comfort food at the end of a long day and will have you returning time and time again.
A list of our favourite Chinese restaurants in Cape Town also includes Tai Chung in Athlone, Tai Ping in Newlands and Chuck Yang’s in Rondebosch to name a few.
