The waitron decided to tell us that they did not have fillet steak as we were about to order! The manager was also shocked when I informed him... They still did nothing, even though half their menu consists of fillet steak!!

Great service with massage service while eating, quite strange to get used to this if you are not informed beforehand. Not advisable for children though. Sushi great.

The Kong side of Roast Kong food is always a real treat and I look forward to going there every time. The decor is stylish and upmarket and he service mostly good. I look forward to seeing Roast Kong in its new environment

Often eat here. It's a quality restaurant in a great location with great views. Food quality is good - would certainly recommend it. I also love the Thai lady who will do a neck and shoulder massage at your table.

Pleasant location with good views from some of the tables but more than that, exceptional food. Very extensive menu and good wine selection. Depending on what you feel like on the night, you can go for anything from Sushi, Dim Sum, Asian Seafood and other dishes or you can just go the Western route and have a great steak, some... More

Service is excellent and food is always of a high standard. We often visit this restaurant. It is our favourite in the Fourways area.

Great ambiance, great food. I enjoyed the view. I also visit Reflexions Thai Spa (also at The Buzz Shopping center) and the combination of an authentic Thai massage with great food afterwords was out of this world. Highly recommended combination.

Pleasant and airy location overlooking a wetland area which in JHB is rare. Reasonable pricing and the "angry"duck is very angry .. even the mild !
