We went to the restaurant on the ground floor, next time we’ll try also the bar at the top floor. Food was tasty and fun, we had lots of starters cause they sounded more interesting than the mains. Don’t miss the fries, the bao bun, the chicken skewer and the cheese cake.

A must do Great menu rooftop awesome vibe and service, very safe setup

Lovely aesthetic and great vibe.Loved their signature fries!Wasn’t really impressed with the mains it tasted so bland, it needs more salt, Asian flavour, something.I don’t know maybe Asian chefs to make the Asian dishes?Waiter was friendly but overall service was unnecessarily slow. We waited 10mins to get the wine we ordered and then got served our starter after our mains. There was one waiter serving 5 tables. Not sure if that caused the delay. Better system needs to be put in place.Otherwise I loved the mochi donuts!Definitely will be returning the roof top bar looks like an absolute vibe and definitely will be trying their starters but not those mains. It needs work.Lacking serious flavour.

The food will have you coming back while the service has you looking for the nearest door!Tjing Tjing is a vibrant Asian inspired three-floor restaurant that promises a lot and delivers mostly from delicious food to a great vibe.However, you will spend most of your night begging for service in this stunning setting. From bartenders to waiters everything takes time. The average wait time for drinks was unnecessarily long and don’t get me started on ordering food!The three-floor restaurant has great menus but floor specific menus. What does this mean ? It meant that, I as a customer walked three flights of stairs to order a cocktail from the top floor and paid to eat it on the bottom floor with my dinner. Three restaurants with one name in one space should be better integrated - the individual-ness is unnecessary.I would go back for the chips - my word have the chips! Everything else of my order needed more slat but the chips are out of this world. We’re going back for the food with a seat at the nearest exit for a quick pay and exit! (If that is even possible)

Tjing Tjing Momiji was an exceptional experience.From the food, to the ambience of the atmosphere. It was a very educational dining experience and one Im not likely to forget any time soon!

This is the cutest little spot I tried out a while back. It’s truly a hidden gem the restaurant is called Torii it’s part of @tjingtjinghouse . Better known as tjingtjing the food is so fresh and I was mesmerized by the bright colors and Japanese art it’s aesthetically pleasing from the moment you walk in to the time you leave.🍜🍜Try it out I would definitely recommend it. Great for hang outs. Upstairs is a beautiful bar where you can have drinks and keep it social. The people who work here were also super friendly and I think for what you’re getting the prices are affordable.

3rd floor is a bar with lounge chairs inside and seating outside. Dimly lit with ambient lighting to set the mood, great for drinks before dinner. Staff are friendly and can make custom drinks on request, cocktails are quite pricey but delicious.2nd floor was closed when I was there.1st floor has a bright restaurant with Japanese wallpaper and red neon. Staff were attentive and food was tasty & arrived quickly. Menu is limited and they didnt have ramen that we were hoping for but tried out other dishes. Portion sizes are bulked up with too much rice and too little meat, so not great value for money.6/10

This was a good location with an awesome feel to it. Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice meet up with friends for a drink.Great cocktails that are perfectly made.

Delicious Japanese food and cocktails! 🤤

If I could I would award this restaurant 7 stars. We dined at Torii in Tjing Tjing house. Everything was absolutely amazing. The cocktails tasted fresh, flavourful and aromatic and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend the sesame broccoli. The cheesecake was one of the best in Cape Town.

Amazing Japanese style food! Good reminder: take your time because you are probably gonna have to wait to get a table, but it’sw worth the wait

This has been one of the best Asian Restaurants Ive been too soo far. The vibe is absolutely fantastic. The Food is very good and the service is top class.

What a great experience! In the heart of Cape Town city … it has a feel of New York off the street and has three levels of various experiences… start casual dining at the bottom .. move to fine dining in the middle and a roof top bar with snacks at the top.Each experience was truly enjoyable. I love the fact that they are aware of sustainable fishing and plastic pollution. They do care about the environment and you as they put out fabulous food with flavor and fun as you work your way through their options.Absolutely loved the Poke bowls, sticky chicken … endamame beans and deserts are all just divine!

Saturday, 2 October, we went to Tjing Tjing for a night of great dinning and cocktails. We left very disappointed and won’t be returning soon, if ever. At the entrance we were greeted by a very rude bouncer (not something you would expect when going for a nice dinner in the first place...) He simply told us to leave, because there is no space inside while glaring at us from under his eyes! I then told him we will wait and after about 15 minutes people were leaving and we were allowed in. He was really very rude and unwelcoming. A lot of other people simply left after he showed them away. We got seating upstairs were our waiters attitude was not much better. Then we ordered our favorite the Okonomiyaki Fries only to be told it’s sold out. Sold out already at 18h00! If this is the way you treat your customers and how you will be managing your establishment now, then I don’t see a bright future for you in the future.

Great food, I liked the dumplings.

Super trendy, good food and excellent service too! Please have their signature fries, it’s a must!! Thank me later 😆

Tells my Partner and I that the bigger tables upstairs are reserved, even when clearly stating there are no reservations, and then allowing another couple 15mins later to sit at that bigger table just because no big group has arrived? Waitress couldn’t explain the logic. Service needs work, because what happened was a little unfair. Food is really good and the dumplings are tasty but damn, what a way to start an evening. Just leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you’re not treated equally.

Fast and friendly service, well presented portion of food, the vegeterian friendly side/tapas are great starters to share between two. Vegeterian Ramen was perfect consistency with the home made noodles. Nice chilled out atmosphere and funky Japanese setting. Will definitely be coming back.

A vibrant and modern take on the Asian experience. At times the vibe felt like a scene straight out of an amine or more specifically, that Frank Ocean Blonde Tribute video.Would highly recommend, as its the ideal place to start off your Saturday evening on a night out.P.S. The wings are bomb.

My first time. Had a wonderful experience. Lovely food. Very tasty and prepared well. Restaurant offers different settings. Waitresses could be a tiny bit more attentive and friendlier though otherwise they did a good job. Will certainly go again!

Delicious ramen and Japanese deserts.

The roof top bars ambience takes me back to Japan. The lighting, drinks and food aee well balanced and care is taken to everything with amazing service. Always a great experience

Looky here looky here, a Japanese restaurant! In a nice place in town. Oh, and let’s not forget about their roof top bar 😊It’s a lovely place to chill-lax. And good Japanese Food. Good food, food alcohol and good environment.You’ll probably spend about R250-00 on food, drink and dessert (but this largely depends on what you order and how much you eat etc...)Buuuuut a nice place to take some good photos. Hope you choose this place and enjoy your stay 💪🏻

What a cool place. The vibe is really great and the food looks absolutely fantastic. It tastes delicious too. Food beautifully presented. Mushroom dumplings were a real stand out. Thank you

Wow. Outstanding food and experience. Some unusual dishes accompanied by cards that add further story to the food. The last of the high end restaurants on our trip. We tried a lot. Including La Colombe. Easily top 3. A MUST try.

Loved the tapas the fries were amazing. Cocktails are pretty fun and tasty wow.

Absolutely incredible food and experience. Truly authentic Japanese

Wow is the first word that comes to mind when i think about my experience at tjing tjing. The food and drinks were incredible and arrived very quickly! Our waitress Logan was also exceptional. Will definitely be back!

Some of the best Japanese food that I have had outside of Japan. Compliments to the chefs and staff. You guys rock. Really made my birthday dinner an awesome one.

If it wasnt for the good food and setting the outing would be the worst I have ever experienced. The waiters took long and was so disrespectful when they did arrive. I would say if you want a bite to eat for takeaways then its a good choice. If its a sit down meal then Id rather say go to a different restaurant. Youll save yourself the stress.

Great bar area, I found the food to be OK. But awesome overall experience.

The most amazing food the flavour combinations are perfect the presentation is amazing and the service is great

Food was amazing!! It was fresh with a lot of unique and powerful flavours! Loved the interiors, super cool!Only two issues we had was that because the restaurant was full we were seated at the bar area and were told as soon as a table became free we would be moved so we could eat there but when I noticed the waitress seating another group and asked why we werent given a table she said its because youre a group of three and theyre a group of four. She was a bit rude about it and her reasoning made no sense. Please dont set up an expectation if it cant be fulfilled.The situation became worse when we later had moved to the rooftop bar after settling the bill. The same waitress came up and rudely said we were short on the bill and if we can immediately come downstairs to settle it. When we went downstairs to try and settle the bill there was so much confusion because the manager had made an error because when we recalculated it we realised we actually overpaid the bill. After much confusion and debate we sorted it out.What was disappointing though was that there was no apology from the waitress or manager after insinuating we had not paid the bill in front of their whole staff. We found that waitress condescending and abrupt and it unfortunately makes someone hesitant to return.Again the food and ambience was so good but hope issues like this wont pop up again.

Hidden gem.Awesome vibe, great food, good service.

Excellent excellent excellent food. Very reasonably priced (from a tourist POV). The service is top notch too. Must experience if youre in Cape Town.

The best Japanese restaurant in Cape Town hands down. The variety of food is great and I work recommend the ramen. The upstairs bar also offers fantastic drinks.

The space is stunning, the food was good, my expectations might have been too high. I have just had better baos from places like bao down.

Amazing experience at Tjing Tjing Momiji. Food and service was nothing short of incredible. Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable evening👌🏼

An authentic restaurant with a menu that matches its aesthetic.

Great starters/bites, ramen was okay-ish. Very homey and cosy inside feel and the roof top bar is a great addition before having supper. Your wait could become long depending on when you arrive as you cant make a reservation. Alcohol is rather pricey.

I absolutely love this place, one of the best Japanese restaurants in south africa. Super affordable with spectacular foods.

Decor is beautiful, food is always on point, fresh and creative! If you looking for a place to Escape the world out there then this is the spot. Your tastebuds will remind you to go back for more.

From the get go, I was excited to try this place and it did not dissapoint. The food and cocktails were absolutely amazing. Service was quick and staff were super friendly. Only thing that made me not stay longer was the airflow of the 1st floor, it got quite warm as it filled with customers, but other than that Id definitely go again and recommend to friends and family.

I regularly frequent Tjing Tjing and have a variety of dishes at their floor level restaurant which are tasty and relatively well priced. They’re also really good at accommodating dietary concerns. Drinks at the bar have varied but I have had a few excellent ones in the rooftop bar and the middle space.

I would have loved to visit this place but was told that you cannot book and when I called in on Monday to ask if late afternoon Saturday would work for 2 people, I was told it wouldnt be a problem. Would be nice if you could book and not have a first come first serve basis only, really upsetting to drive all the way and look for parking to just be told that you are full

Awesome vibe. Great food. Delicious cuisine Cocktails. Cool rooftop vibes. Nice decor. Definitely recommended.

Unreal experience! Unbelievable food with a calming environment. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They anticipated our every move and made us feel very special. I would highly recommended for a special occasion or a date

Tjing Tjing has stood the test of time. I know it as one of the best cocktail bars in Cape Town, but the Japanese-themed restaurant is just as good. Excellent service, amazing decor and delicious food and drinks.

Had the most awesome experience, cocktail was zingy, food was delightful and service was great. Highly recommend 👌

Tjing Tjing is a gem. I never knew that a Japanese restaurant and bar was open in town until I went there with some colleagues.The interior is welcoming with a rather tall and long staircase heading up to the second floor where there looks to be a private booth for a small group with its own bar, and then your final stop is the rooftop bar where you can chill to some music, the woody scent of the roof, or sit outside and enjoy the small kiln fire that they have going.The vibe is relaxed, the booze menus (plural), as long as your arm, and the prices of some of them are something which youd spend on if you were rather on the other side of the divide in Cape Town.Since Tjing Tjing is a Japanese style venue, you can definitely find Japanese whiskey here, something which I have been wanting to try for a while now, and which was delicious.Service is fast and efficient, if a little cold though, but I supposes anyone could have an off day now and then.I will be returning there one day with some friends to try the food.So for now I can recommend it if you want to stop over for a few drinks.

Went to the Momiji section for the 4 course meal. Was such fun and a great experience. Interesting food with beautiful attention to detail. We went to the rooftop bar for cocktails afterwards, which I also recommend.

Loved the spirit of this place! Went for some cocktails on the top floor.... vibe was awesome!! Music was good.... and it has an open smoking section. The decor and general feeling is something to return to 😊

The best place Ive eaten at in Cape Town! This is a culinary experience that you will never forget. With a menu championing a Japanese cuisine it will surely tantalize your tastebuds!

Awesome food, great atmosphere

Tjing Tjing has always been a favourite. The rooftop gets a little full but the vibe and cocktails are worth it. Recommended the Little Devil and Litchi Cocktails!

My fave place in Cape Town. Great vibes and delicious Japanese food!

Good customer service. Lovely design of the place. Acquired taste (Japanese food). Enjoyed it.

The menu looks really boring and unappetizing. We almost left but my wife insisted that we at least order something. WOW!!!! The food is amazing, really tasty. You should go

The rooftop bar cocktails were good and food was good which we had a starters to dinner. We ate our mains at the restaurant Torii downstairs which was not enjoyable - food was not authentic Japanese or even street Japanese cuisine. The flavors were over-powering or lacked complete flavour. The food felt pre-made and heated in a microwave. There is evidently no chef tasting the food thats prepared.

Excellent service. Food was superb. A real dining experience

Food was okay, service was terrible, waitresses were completely uninterested in helping customers and had little to no knowledge about the menu. Overall dining here makes one feel unwelcome.

Good Japanese food (we ate lunch at tjing tjing torii). The ramen were very nice and my yakitori was well made. Nice IPA beer as well albeit a bit fruity.

Levels to the restaurant was interesting. I think thats the best I got. Smoking area had like what looked like a coffin which was weird.

Lovely restaurant and vibe. The staff could be friendlier though.

One of my go-to places in Cape Town. The restaurant (1st floor) has amazing Japanese/fusion cuisine with manga-like ambience and 3rd floor has a rooftop bar with half open ceiling. The cocktails that they make are one of the best that I’ve tasted so far.

What a pleasant experience, from service to the drinks in food. It was my first time there tonight and I cant express how much I enjoyed it. Only thing i wish i had was our waitresses name that served us at the roof area. Blond streaks, tied in a small bun, thank you whatever your name is. She was incredibly patient with my indecisive friends and i appreciated it tons. Will deffo go visit soon!

It was a nice aesthetic but at some point some of the waiters didnt feel warm

Excellent! The pork belly yakitori and donut style mochi are to die for.

Great setting and amazing menu and cold beer😁. Super efficient and friendly staff!

Great Food, Great Vibe, Great Environment but not great service - the waitress my table had in the rooftop bar area was very unattentive, unwelcoming and got our order wrong - among other things. Will definitely go again for the food, and the vibe but Ill stay away from the bar area.

Authentic Japanese experience, great food, very friendly staff.... felt a little bit alienated( could feel myself and fellow associate being judged probably due to the color of our skin)

Very cool atmosphere with great food

We went to the bottom restaurant Tjing Tjing Torii. The seats are a bit uncomfortable but its really well decorated for the theme and the food is amazing! We tried the Miso Broccoli Sando Box, Mushroom steamed bun, Shiitake Gyoza (pan fried dumplings) and for something sweet the Milk tart mochi and Cheese cake with Miso Caramel sauce. They were all delicious but we enjoyed the Gyoza the most. The Sando was extremely fresh tasting and very good too. The milk tart mochi wasnt mochi as I was expecting but was like more glutinous milk tart, more like the 2 combined which was interesting.

The service is an indisputable 5 stars. The ambiance and environment is quite the upmarket trendy Japanese restaurant as promised. There is however a trick to that. The parking and the waiting list... theres quite the wait for a table but the host is very friendly and attends to you soon as possible. The drinks was nice. My only issue was with the ramen. We ordered ramen. The host was really attentive but the time until the food came was quite a while. The broth of the two ramen was okay I guess. The vegetarian one had depth, with a hint of kelp but was considerably overpowered by sesame. The meat broth was rich and flavourful. The portions were also fine. Theres a large bowl of ramen full of broth. The garnishes however wasnt too impressive even though aesthetically pleasing. Also wasnt too impressed with the ramen. Lacked both firmness and elasticity? I understand that ramen sometimes is either more firm or more elastic but the serving last night was neither. Nonetheless perhaps give the other items a try but the ramen was definitely not the best Ive had.

Awesome food, friendly staff and a really cool atmosphere

Amazing service, exceptional food. All you can ask for

How disappointing... I was so excited to have the experience shown on the website. But when we got there, all the rooftop tables were full, eagerly to eat at this restaurant we decided to wait as there were people paying, we just wanted them to leave and we would take their seats. The manager/ waiter gave us some chairs to sit on while we wait, we asked for a menu but then the guy rudely refused to give us one because we were in his way, we didn’t understand, as he told us it’s fine to wait there and gave us seats...And there is always a way to say something...it was no need to be rude!I was so disappointed!!!!!!

Fantastic surprise, really good food and really good experience.

Interesting little restaurant with great decor, however the waiters do make you feel like youre being a bother whenever you ask for something or while youre waiting for a table. Customer service could definitely be improved. The chicken & togarashi dumplings were delicious, but the pork ramen was disappointing. The pork was great, but the broth was quite bland and lacked depth of flavour, and the noodles were kind of mushy. The box of mochi we had for dessert was amazing.

The chips were amazing!

Great hip atmosphere with amazing Cocktails

Hi there, I went to the restaurant last night and i heard such great things about the restaurant, but i was super disappointed by the food and service. We had cocktails, lamb ramen and the japanese cheesecake with miso caramel. The food was tastless and not authentic to japanese culture, but i do also understand how busy evening service can be. the broth for the ramen was also tastless and there werent any vegetables in it. waiters were very kind, but we were rushed the enitre night and couldnt enjoy the evening as they were trying to get us to leave. One waitress even asked us to go to the rooftop bar so that other customers could get a table and that is just not on by any means as we were still wanting to order more food and drinks.

Great night time bar under the roof of a 200-year old building. Urban patrons frequent the place and enjoy the creative cocktails or classic drinks. Great vibe in stunning setting.

Worth a visit if you like Asian food good service.

Very disappointing Ramen. The broth tasted awful. My partner and myself were very upset and couldnt finish both of our bowls. I am a huge fan of Japanese cuisine and was really excited to try the ramen at Tjing Tjing but it was a complete waste of money. We had to add additional flavorings to mask taste and we still couldnt finish it.I would give one star but the Okonomiyaki fries were delicious and the service was excellent.

Amazing food and very reasonable prices for everything. Cocktails were so delicious too!

Enjoyed the pork ramen. 10/10Its a nice cosy place with relatively quick service (went there on a weekday).

Loved the food, was a bit pricey but totally worth it, highly recommend the desserts so save space!

A beautiful 3 level experience for any occasion, chilled Japanese dining, formal 8 course meal or roof top drinks after work.The decor is Cape Town world class and speciality drinks are in keeping with Cape Towns high standards.You wont regret spending your time here.

Such an awesome bar upstairs on the rooftop with delicious cocktails and scrumptious food! We went Friday straight after work and there were just a few people there, sitting in the sun with the mist spraying on us was a delight! We had the chips (cant remember the full name) which were sooooo good, highly recommend! We moved inside later in the evening, super comfy spot to hang out with friends.

I love the way its 3 level from restaurant,fine dining to bar.If you are looking for an Asian kinda upscale vibe then this place is for you

I actually went to Mochi Mochi and they ran out of space so Tjing Tjing offered us a table. DAMG I forgot how nice this place is to sit in, if I could spend a day people watching while reading it would be here!I just want to say thank you for helping helping us and I was presently suprised with some of the new menu items that I had to do some tasters!Firstly the Gyoza was great, amazing sauce and the plating is probably the best Ive had in Cape Town. Overall I got excited to eat it with the plating, enjoyed the taste and was pleasantly suprised with the sauces! Good job! A+++ keep at it!Now I have a running joke that when I go to asian themed restaurant they sometimes label their fries asian fries and I have to try them to be dissapointed (looking at you Manga in Sea Point). The asian fries here with the Bonito flakes BLEW ME AWAY! My asian side was amazed and thought this was a great dish! This is the asian fusion dish of the future I want in my blade runner, ghost in the shell or what ever future. As a director for food service industry of over 200 employee this dish rocked my socks off! In short, great dish and Im coming back!Once again thanks for letting us sit in your place with our Mochi Mochi breakfast. Made my day!

I cannot be more pleased. Tjing Tjing is great in all aspects. We love their drinks, and the non alchohol cocktails are devine!We keep going back for the delicious food. We did thecall in and collect, and what a treat. Such an easy and convenient process. This place is a must visit.

Amazing experience. One of the best Asian restaurants in South Africa

Excellent food and service!!

Bit expensive, nice atmosphere and food was delicious but it wasnt something to write home about either.

Great vibe and awesome rooftop bar

Really good Japanese snacks. Not something you can find anywhere and it really tastes like you in Japan again.

The food was amazing!!!

We were expecting roof view, but its nothing special over here. The staff is not professional and quite rude. The security named Jamie was not polite and humiliated us when we went outside to smoke with our cocktails.
