    A tiny little restaurant tucked away in a small strip mall …. The Chinese food is amazing. We also enjoyed the sushi. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife team. Simple place but very clean. Service is good … very quick. You must have the crispy beef …. crisp on the outside but so tender and flavourful on the inside. All their dishes have an authentic Chinese flavour to them.

    A FANTASTIC time. Excellent food. The sushi is to die for. Well worth a visit and just to chill out next to the lake on the balcony

    It was value for money, in a great setting overlooking a dam. Lots of birdlife. The owner is very friendly and gave great suggestions.

    Delicious sushi and chow mein and great service

  • 1/5 Aj A. 2 years ago on Google
    Utterly dissatisfied. Ordered one portion of crispy pork and then another order of crispy chicken. Apart from the chicken being alarmingly undercooked - how is it that two items, with the same descriptive names are so different? No price difference - undercooked pieces of fried chicken. Tried to give yang yang another chance after previous lack lustre, rude service but see that we will not waste our time again. We never complain, in fact always try and strike up sincere conversation. I understand that mistakes happen - but absolutely disappointed. My advice to management - please add descriptions to your meals and or add a bit of people skills and perhaps explain your menu items to your patrons as your menu does not accurately describe items in the first place. Plus, shame on you for not checking if your fried, sorry "crispy" chicken is cooked through.

    Great food, good service but massively overpriced

  • 1/5 Duncan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered takeaway sushi. First alarm bell was when no receipt for the food ordered was given. Got the take out. Wife immediately pointed out that the salmon roses were not included. Went back in and they added it. Sushi still seemed short but had nothing to fall back on. Got home to find that the tempura prawn dragon rolls were not included after having to go through their menu and calculate what I had versus what I paid. So R115 of a R520 bill was left out after having to go back because the R75 roses were omitted. Very poor business practice. Won’t go back

    The Sushi is Ok. Had to get my own drinks and had to walk to the counter to place my order. There are no waiters. Would not recommend.

  • 5/5 Jeanne K. 9 months ago on Google
    Food and service is always amazing. Tip: Ask for items not on the menu. They never disappoint.

    Some of the best sushi in SA

  • 5/5 Karel van der W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great tasting food. We get Vegetable Chow-Mein and it's always really good. The spring-rolls are very well made and taste great. If you are looking for good Chinese food, I can recommend Yang Yang's as a great option.

  • 3/5 Mary S. 4 years ago on Google
    We had planned for a pizza, but seing the sign opted for Chinese. The chicken and corn soup was delicious. The mains were just as good. Definite value for money. The atmosphere is very casual, at times a little too casual. We will definitely be back for more... Yummy food and bird watching...

    Disappointing food. Service not wonderful. Setting great.

  • 5/5 Travis S. 3 years ago on Google
    I love that the restaurant is right next to the dam because I love birds and the sweet and sour pork/chicken is really good also they make the best spring rolls 🙂😋🥘🍜🥠🥡

  • 1/5 Tyler den H. 3 years ago on Google
    Poor experience Asian lady was so kind and sweet and competent. The afrikaans man however was not friendly and had no personality. He walked around barefoot and didnt wear a mask while making food. You had to fetvh your own drinks out of the fridge and service is slow. Bills are written out by hand and you can hardly read what is written down. Plates were not very clean and there was also no sanitizer available

😐 Nothing much to rave about here unfortunately. It's average at best. The savory pancake we had, chicken mayo and also chicken and mushroom was difficult to eat. It was packed full of thick white sauce which spoiled the meal. Food feels heavy and not easy to eat. Rather stick to the pancake and ice c...
