"Tjing Tjing Bar Craft beers, great wine list, and cocktails with a cotton candy or jelly bean flavor... Lounge around or head outside to enjoy the rooftop terrace. Tapas are also available for the peckish. Great for pre-dinner drinks or after the sun goes down. By Maree Hugo"

"What used to be Dear Me (a pared-down café) has been transformed into Tjing Tjing Torii, a visual odyssey of Harajuku proportions in Cape Town Central. As you make your way up the stairs, you'll find yourself in the first-floor middle space, dubbed Tjing Tjing Momiji, a minimalist kaiseki restaurant with a bustling lounge. Ascend two more flights of stairs, and you'll find yourself out in the open air at the scarlet-red Tjing Tjing Rooftop bar." - Seth Shezi

Had an intimate date night at Tjing Tjing House. The ambience set the scene, service was impeccable, the food arrived quickly and was incredible. Best edamame and mochi in Cape Town! There were lots of vegan and vegetarian options on offer. I would recommend ordering a minimum of 4 - 6 dishes to share between 2 people. I can't wait to be back and sample more delicious treats! Thank you for a wonderful evening 😊

Exceptional experience! Amazing and tasty food. The venue is multi-floor and caters to any event. We had a tour after thanking the chef personally and really enjoyed it. If you have not been there, you have to go! We had a three course meal but forgot to take photos of the other dishes (it was soooo good)

This venue is truly a multi-level masterpiece where every single floor offers its own unique and compelling reason to visit. Starting at the bottom, the food in the restaurant is absolutely world-class and packed with flavor. Moving up, the private dining area in the middle provides an exclusive, intimate atmosphere that is perfect for special occasions. Finally, the super amazing cocktails at the top floor bar come with a view that is second to none.

Honestly impeccable service and seriously delicious food! We went to Tjing Tjing House on First Thursday and were pleasantly surprised to find a drink special - 2 drinks for R180, which was such a great deal. The portions might look small, but don’t be fooled, they’re super filling and packed with flavour. The atmosphere is vibrant yet intimate, and the staff are warm, attentive! Whether you’re there for dinner or just a few cocktails on the rooftop, it’s a top-tier experience. Definitely a must-visit spot in Cape Town, especially on a first Thursday night!

The food was seriously tasty! The portions are extremely generous. LOVED the mochi donuts - so so good. Sadly - the general atmosphere was really lacking. It’s got such good potential. Put some music on and dim the lights with a bit of decor and it will make a huge difference. If you’re looking for an amazing ramen bowl - this is the place!!

Myself and three friends went to Tjing Tjing for cocktails and dinner. I had been to the restaurant a couple of years back - good, but not blown away. HOWEVER, our experience last week was absolutely fantastic! Every cocktail was phenomenal! The food, outstanding! We shared a variety of plates - buns, dumpling, wings, pickles, wedges, and more. Thank you Tjing Tjing! We will definitely be back soon.

We saw the restaurant because of a recommendation on YouTube. We were in the areas and decided to go check it out, and it did not disappoint. As soon as we walked in, we were served by our amazing waiter Kat, who gave us a brief insight on the menu, and recommended a few dishes. We had the chicken bao buns/ hirata, and the chicken and sweet potato gyozas. It was all incredibly yummy, although I do have to comment that the chicken gyozas were quite spicy. The hiratas were the best I’ve ever had!! For anyone in the area, I can only advise to check out this great place.

We swinged by Tjing Tjing House for a quick lunch before first Thursdays. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was incredibly( I had chicken dumplings) and the cocktails were just as good. All-in-all I’d really recommend visiting here but do make a reservation as seating can be quite limited. I can’t wait to come back dor the roof-top area!
