“I Think I Just Found It”: Joburg Woman Shows Where To Find Amazing Chinese Food in Joburg

• A Johannesburg woman visited a restaurant in Rivonia and came back with a full review and prices that had people ready to book a table
• The braised beef noodles stole the show, and the restaurant's free extras station was one of her favourite offers from the restarunt
• People flooded the comments with their own thoughts, with some already planning their first visit

A Johannesburg woman may have just saved everyone the trouble of searching for good Chinese food in the city. The TikTok creator behind @sa.unearthed posted a review video on 6 March 2026 after visiting Taste of China restaurant in Rivonia. She explained:

"Taste of China Restaurant, Rivonia 📍 The service was amazing, the food came really fast. They also make their own noodles in-house, definitely worth checking out 🌺"

In the video, she started with the lemonade at R35, which she enjoyed but felt would be better with ice. Then came the braised beef noodles at R145, which she rated a straight 10 out of 10. One of the things she highlighted was the extras station, where diners can add toppings to their meal at no extra cost, which she said was a nice touch. She also tried the bibimbap at R145, chicken wings at R30 and spring rolls at R65. The wings she wished came in a larger portion, but the spring rolls more than made up for it. She wrapped up by saying she would definitely be going back.
