Tai Ping Chinese Restaurant | Takeaway — Restaurant in Newlands

Sweet cute little Chinese restaurant. It has the whole setup of being in China.. not that I was ever in China but it felt that way for a while except we sat on chairs and not the floor which was understandable.

One of the main courses we ordered was literally a side plate of veg with a few beef pieces for R120. The other main course was supposedly a "chef's recommendation" which was pork fat in a oily "sauce" for R130. The "fried rice" was a tiny bowl of tastic rice with minimal frozen veg and a speckle of egg thrown in for good measure. Will 110% not be returning to this...

Unfortunately we cannot say our experience with Tai Ping was great. Some work could be done on the general atmosphere of the place, as the bright lights and overall decor make it unfitting for an elegant dining experience. We found the prices to be unreasonably high, and these prices we certainly not justified by the food. The portions are small and to be quite frank, the food did not taste good. The food seemed off, and our rice certainly was not fresh. It is very unlikely we will...
