HeSheng Chinese Restaurant

After reading about HeSheng we went for lunch. What a wonderful gem. You need to look carefully as it has a small entrance. The service was very friendly. We started with the famous Xiao-Long Bao. It’s small bao’s filled with pork and a soup. It is really good. Then we had the prawn noodle. There was actually a decent amount of prawn in the dish. We also had the black bean beef - very authentic flavour. I can definitely recommend HeSheng

Always delicious. And great vegan options. Cucumber salad is SOOO GOOD and the Mapu tofu along with fried veg dumplings are always on order too. Super yum.

Only got to sample the dim sum which is homemade, hearty and generously portioned. Good cucumber salad. Friendly service

We were excited to try out Hesheng after a recommendation and it did not disappoint! We ordered the beef flank soup (highly recommended!), soup dumplings, steamed vegetables, fried rice and a few other delicious dishes. Every item was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The service was exceptional. The gentleman who assisted us was incredibly warm and knowledgeable he even shared a bit of background on each dish as it was served. There was barely any wait time our food started arriving within 5 minutes. A real hidden gem in Sea Point if you’re after authentic Chinese food with top-tier service. We’ll definitely be back!

This is the best Chinese food I've had in Cape Town. Those beef potstickers are insanely delicious and the mapo tofu remains my favourite Chinese dish.

WOW! What an amazing experience at HeSheng Chinese Restaurant. From the effecient and very friendly service to the outstanding quality of the food and great atmosphere. My wife and I had dumpling starters followed by the Black Bean Chicken, Sweet & Sour pork and the Salt and Pepper Calamari with Onions and a bowl of egg fried rice. Generous portions at affordable prices. A taste sensation! Highly recommended. We will certainly be back soon.

Went for dinner with family after we decided to go to Sea Point to watch the sunset. Food was lovely with the only exception being when the chef made a mistake by putting a specific ingredient in which we do not eat into a dish, we told the waiter and they took it in but only just picked out the specific ingredient and gave it back to us instead of making a completely new dish. Otherwise, the dumplings and the noodles were delicious. Little overpriced for the experience and for the food we had, but will definitely go a little earlier next time when they not so busy and try again. Til next time...

Updated review 14 May 2024. Small family restaurant - new owners from about a year or so ago. . No frills or fancy decor.. The menu is still pretty much the same. We love the won ton soup noodles, roll beef cakes. Their dumplings (sui long bao) is absolutely the winner. The new owners are very friendly. .
