Firstly the service was amazing, very helpful and always there but not there at the same time. The food was great. The starters were amazing, mains superb. The dessert was a tad disappointing. We had the fried chocolate balls. The standout meal had to be the chilli beef stir fry.

Their chicken cashew nut are one of the best that we've tasted of all the Asian restaurants in Jo'burg and their dim sum always taste fresh and delicious. Their Bangkok veggies are a perfect option for vegetarians or as a side with a variety of nice, fresh vegetables, deliciously cooked tofu (you can't even taste that it's tofu!) and sauce with a good, but manageable kick to it!
If you sit in their little bar area at one of the low tables, it has a really authentic vibe and adds to the experience.
Such a little gem!
Portion size was very generous. Great choice from the Restaurant week menu, very tasty across all dishes
I would like to respond to one of the mails below tilted, "Restaurant week rip off". I think the writer miscalculated the prices, because the menu value is actually R282.00 and you only paid R250.00 (Crispy money bags @R60, Sizzling beef @R144, steamed jasmine rice @R23, & chcocolate sesame balls @ R55)

The food was excellent, it was a set menu and there was nothing to complain about. The main came still sizzling on an iron cast pan. It was so much that we took half of it home.
The restaurant is quite small in the midst of a shopping centre. It filled up very quickly after we arrived.
We will definitely go there again

About So Yum
“Yum Cha”, an age old Chinese cuisine style, celebrates the unique culinary art of Dim Sum. It is this inimitable gastronomic offering which So Yum presents as a haven for friends, family and colleagues to gather in appreciation of healthy, fresh, wholesome and ultimately – premium quality food and drink.
The soul of our restaurant rests in Dim Sum, which aptly translates to 'touch the heart'. Our heavenly, bite sized morsels are filled with a variety of high quality meat, seafood and vegetable fillings. Each parcel is individually prepared with great skill and care, before being steamed, baked or pan-fried – according to your personal preference.
Our extensive Dim Sum menu is complemented by exquisite flowering and fragrant teas, which will not only aid digestion, but also stimulate your already burgeoning appetite. The pleasure of the Dim Sum dining experience has evolved over many years. Today, many enjoy and accept this art as a staple dining culture; where many or merely a few dishes can be ordered and savoured at any sitting.
Our assiduously selected menu also offers sensational Asian style salads, aromatic curries, wok stir-fries, as well as a delectable assortment of noodle dishes. All original recipes are lovingly executed to maintain the authenticity of the four main Asian flavours, namely: sweet, sour, spicy and salty.
Adding to this, our beverage selection is the toast of the town with, amongst others, freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices to live for. Languish in our beautiful flowering and aromatic teas, which are allowed to draw naturally in exclusively designed tea pots. For something a little more risqué, sip on our sublimely mixed cocktail menu featuring classics such as Cosmopolitans, Mojitos and Margaritas, or alternatively, turn to our excellent array of locally produced South African wines.
Whether it's a quick, healthy meal that you crave, an intimate dinner with your partner, a business luncheon, or celebratory gathering with family and friends – So Yum is the ideal culinary experience for the vibrant individual.
