Hesheng Chinese

Came here for dinner on a recommendation from a friend. It took me right back to Hong Kong! <br/ <br/ Very authentic, from the food to the decor and atmosphere, everything about this place is great.<br/ <br/ We ordered the leek pancake, pork and prawn steamed dim sum and the chicken noodles. Everything was really tasty and freshly made. The sauces on the table completed the dim sum for me, as it’s exactly what you get in China.<br/ <br/ I would definitely recommend for authentic Chinese food and it’s great value for money!

Super authentic dim sum and dumplings, one of the best in Cape Town. Totally worth the bizarre service (which adds to the experience, really). With the dim sum, everything steamed and fried is brilliant. The leek and spring onion pancakes are a fave. Soup dumplings are a reason to make the trip on their own. Mapo tofu is fantastic. Be brave and focus on the dumplings!

Listen. I am terrified of this lady but honestly I’d risk being shouted at for the dim sum alone. Nothing off the dim sum menu will disappoint you! I also love the cucumber salad which makes for a nice acidic pairing with all the deep-fried or steamed carbs. The prices have gone up quite a bit, though, which is unfortunate. I'm not convinced that the food is quite worth it at this new price point.

Place was awesome, went Sunday and got seated quickly. The food arrived and it was yummy to say the least. The service was amazing as well. This is officially my new go to place. The atmosphere is relaxed and the hostess although busy tries her best to see to your needs as quick as she can. Had to thank her afterwards for the service and the amazing food.

The 2 of us arrived at 7pm on Saturday. We had no reservation and had to wait for about 15 min. Owner's interaction with customers is no nonsense and no chit chat. Take it or leave it. Luckily my son eats here a lot and knows the setup. Food was great. Had the pork shrimp dumplings, rolled beef cake, cucumber salad. Also sweet sour pork with rice. Every bite was delicious. Dont expect the normal restaurant set up. More like eating at a friends house with basic surroundings and a stern but wonderful cook
