    Warm and welcoming with a wide variety on the menu to choose from, delicious and value for money. They have specials on sushi and sushi platters. The bathrooms needs attention and a good clean only down point.

    Worse takeaway experience in this past year. Order sweet and sour pork with noodles. They gave us rice. Response, 'oh must be my mistake, must I change it'. Totally unpleasant and unappetizing. Complete waste of R417.

    Very quick, very friendly, prices are very reasonable,however as a takeaway, the food is key. The full meals I would say were good generous portions. Soup was the normal size bowl. The steamed dumplings were really disappointing. The filling is barely noticeable. A pkt of soy sauce is included. That to me is not an adequate dipping sauce. I made my own. The spring rolls..don't waste your money. They were also filled with hardly anything, quite hard in texture. Tiny. Sweet chili given as sauce. The chicken chow mein was plentiful, chicken was tender. Hardly any veg, I would say quantity won over quality with the noodles. On a whole, missed flavour. Would I return, maybe later, they've not been open for long. I would suggest they relook the starters quality.

    Wow. Such a fancy looking place, kind staff and amazing food. Can't wait to visit again! Very affordable as well.

    We ordered black bean beef, crispy beef, sushi, chicken chow mein, chicken cashew, sweet and sour pork and spring rolls (feeding 10). The service was good and prices reasonable, but unfortunately the food was extremely bland and gross. Not a single meal was tasty. Not just me - all 10 people were extremely disappointed and not a single person finished their meal. Perhaps it was just a bad day (Sunday) but we definitely won't be back.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! The ONLY place I get sushi from in George. Hugo is friendly and helpful, their service is quick and the food is the same every single time (no strange surprises) you know you are going to get quality every single time! 10/10

    We were regulars at this restaurant and then had an experience with the cheeky so-called manager which has left a bad taste. Their credit card machine wasnt working (no mention of this when we placed our telephonic order). He insisted on cash and wasnt prepared to take our word we would return and pay, despite him knowing us as regulars. So he can shove it. We now go to Wu's which is just as good.

    Waste of money. Pay R70 for a Pork chowmain. But only het 3 pieces of meat in the whole thing. Now I know why it was so quiet when I was there

  • 2/5 Catherine C. 5 years ago on Google
    We ordered two soups and green curry prawns. The waiter got one of the soups wrong, but we decided to accept it. I don't know why the reviews were good because our food was so bad. The chicken corn soup was too salty. The seafood soup came with imitation crab sticks and didn't taste much of anything. The green curry had so much water in it that it was like a soup rather than curry. It was also tasteless.We were still hungry after finishing our food but decided against ordering more as everything was so bad.

  • 1/5 Ziggy K. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite disappointed. The egg fried rice we ordered had no egg. The sweet and sour pork was not very flavourful. The chicken spring rolls basically had no chicken. Not a happy customer at all.

  • 1/5 Andrea J. 1 year ago on Google
    Disgusting is an understatement!! We have been clients of this restaurant under previous owners West Coast Chinese restaurant & never had a bad meal ... ever . We have just got our takeaway from Tai Shan same place now different name & Chicken chow mein revolting , noodles are normal spaghetti thick noodles , absolutely NO flavour. We spent R150 & can't eat it . Also the chicken very weird & rubbery . Never going there again.

  • 1/5 Hein b. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the worst chicken chowfaan i ever tasted. Rhey make use of the wrong rice and there is almost no chicken in the diah. Wasted my money for rice with soya sauce. This is not worth it at all. Will not support them again.

    What a place, friendly, good priced and staff is very friendly, then the food...as far as Chinese food go, do yourself a favor!!

  • 5/5 Benjamin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly welcome, quick service and absolutely spectacular delicious cashew chicken. Starters were ok, beef chow mein was very good but cashew chicken takes the cake by far!!! An All round very pleasant and worthwhile dinner outing. Chairs could do with a little more padding ;-)

  • 1/5 jacob de v. 1 year ago on Google
    Guys I love sushi , today I had the oldest tasting Salmon in a handroll ever , just like off sweet absolutely horrific. The bathroom also looks horrific (Dusty and just dirty/grimey ) , please you guys need to pull up your socks. The liability of serving old fish is infinite. I spat out my handroll and I hope I don't get food poisoning. Please I love the chain. I'll change the rating as soon as I go again. If I'm alive.

    Usually when you think of sushi or Chinese food you think takeaway. But this place has class and it's really great to sit down to have a meal. The food is amazing, service is quick and the atmosphere is jolly. I would recommend Tai Shan in Meade street 10/10 times over any other restaurant or takeout.

  • 5/5 Natasja L. 6 years ago on Google
    I find Golden Coast outstanding. The manager and staff are all friendly, fast and really on the ball. No matter how many tourist groups arrive, our take-aways are not left on the back burner. Really a fantastic experience over and over again. Well done guys, you make our town proud.

    Visited due to high ratings, left rather disappointed. The flavours just weren't up to standard.

  • 4/5 F K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Chinese food is authentic and has not been improved by Western food. Green vegetables are very good. It is not easy to eat spinach in South Africa, and it is still Chinese practice. (Original) 中餐做得正宗,没有被西餐改良的。青菜很好,在南非吃上空心菜的确不容易,而且还是中国做法。

    Delicious food, but a very awkward atmosphere to dine in. Always some employee watching tv full blast or talking on the phone at top volume or no background music playing so its dead quiet..

    Service was excellent - very friendly and accommodating. Dim Sum was amazing, as well as the sweet and sour pork (perfect sweet-sour balance) and the chicken cashews.

  • 2/5 Laura S. 5 years ago on Google • 3 reviews
    I gave it 2 stars because our server was very attentive and they remade the calamari. Overall I was very disappointed with the food. We ordered the set menu for seven people. As a starter we got fried calamari but didn’t get that until we finished our meal. And not to mention one we got the calamari it was super chewy and super salty. The egg drop soup tasted like canned corn. The rice in the picture is supposed to be “fried rice.” And all the sauces tasted very similar, there was no telling the difference of what dish was was what.

    Good Chinese food at a good price.

  • 2/5 Roman T. 4 years ago on Google
    Bad experience. We stopped there for a lunch as other places were full during festive period. The tables were not clean. The food was average least to say... We ordered vegetables, which appeared to be mainly onions and some cabbage. Will never go there again. In Joburg, we often go to Kung Fu kitchen, which is half the price for much better food. The place was quite empty which does not surprise me.

👍👍 I enjoyed my time and food at 34 Degrees South. If you sit outside, you get treated to awesome views too of what can be described like Venice. Towards the latter part of the day, you'll see a gorgeous South African sunset (if there are no clouds). I had some wine by the glass, one of the few places...
