Shun De Chinese Restaurant in Johannesburg

"What a lovely experience. Was recommended on social media. This is a very good place to go for dim sum. We had the fried pork dumpling, steamed prawn dumplings, steamed pork ribs, Singapore noodle, and vegetable spring rolls. Everything was just very good! What I was expecting from a dim sum experience. Service could be quicker but our dishes arrived in quick succession once they started arriving (a bit of a wait for the first one)."

"Went here for dinner tonight as a family of 4, I was blown away by the service, the amazing hospitality, and the great food and atmosphere. The waitresses were so helpful, and so informative about the food. They really made the experience, all smiles and good vibes from them, the food kept coming, and was very well priced. Excellent experience and excellent dim sum"

"Tucked in the vibrant heart of China Town, Johannesburg, Shun De Chinese Restaurant offers a dining experience that is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re transported to a charming setting adorned with traditional Chinese décor, creating an authentic and inviting atmosphere. Our meal was a culinary journey, featuring a variety of dishes that showcased the restaurant’s mastery of Chinese cuisine. We started with vegetable spring rolls, which were perfectly crisp and packed with flavour, and moved on to pork and prawn dumplings, both of which were a triumph—steamed to perfection and bursting with delicious fillings. For mains, the spicy sizzling beef stood out with its bold flavours and perfectly tender meat, while the sweet and sour pork offered a beautiful balance of tangy and sweet notes. Each dish was presented beautifully and tasted even better than it looked. The service was another highlight. The waitstaff were warm, attentive, and incredibly efficient, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Despite its slightly higher price point compared to some other establishments in the area, the quality of the food and service here makes it worth every rand. Shun De is a gem in Johannesburg’s China Town, and I can confidently say I’ll be returning. If you’re looking for a fantastic Chinese dining experience, this spot is a must-visit."

"Best Dim Sum in Gauteng. Had Peking Duck and sweet and sour Pork from A La Carte Menu. Excellent! Felt like I was on holiday in tourist destination. Loved the vibe"

"The food was delicious. Dim sum freshly made served buffet style. Menu items are served for 4 to 6 people. Prices are reasonable. We enjoyed the experience and will definitely return. We had some difficulty with the language barrier but managed to communicate."

"I went there with some friends for Chinese New Year dinner. Positives: 1. Their traditional Chinese tea is a must try. They've got many different flavours and I recommend the Chrysanthemum tea. 2. Their beef was tender and juicy. 3. Crawfish was fresh and perfectly steamed and garnished. Negatives: 1. Service was a bit slow but the staff was really friendly. There's a large selection of authentic Chinese dishes, explore and give yourself a chance to try out anything that catches your eye on the menu. Their food is pricier than most other Chinese restaurants but you're paying for that authentic flavour. The ingredients are fresh and probably sourced on the day as they are right next to the local market."

"I made a booking for New Year's and there was a bit of a mix up with bookings but eventually we got the correct table. Also they forgot about us and we had to make enquiries to get the food going. However once all that paperwork was done, the food arrived and it was delicious and plentiful. Wasn't too badly priced either. Despite it being a special occasion."

"Decent experience. Wide selection of food but a bit pricey. Portions are good."
