Vegan Dumplings!

If any of my fellow South African Vegans love dumplings as much as I do, you will understand how rare it is to find vegan dumplings at a restaurant, aside from I love my laundry in Cape Town.

Johannesburg now has a lovely little restaurant with a nice view that serves delicious fried vegan dumplings. They even have a vegan steamed buns with scrumptious Shiitake mushrooms in hoisin sauce. I wasn't a fan of the Daishi Ramen, I found it a little bland. The green papaya salad is tasty and fresh.

The owners used to be Vegan so they understand what you need. They also wait tables and cook the food in the open kitchen.

I have heard mixed reviews about this restaurant from friends that have been there, but I personally had two consecutive good experiences and I will definitely eat there again. Next time I go I will order their house beer and dumplings!

Book for evenings as they are usually full.

Pros: vegan dumplings!, nice decor & view, good vibe

Cons: Fish on the menu, slow service
