Started by Yang Zhao, you might recall the Beijing Opera Pantry in Cape Town, a beloved eatery renowned for its exceptional dim sum and communal dining style. Beijing Opera has now returned to Johannesburg, bringing its cult favourite dishes and an expanded menu.
With a reputation built on distinctive flavours and a laid-back atmosphere, the restaurant now features a broader Pan-Asian menu with a focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavour. This includes beloved classics such as bao buns and noodles, alongside the signature dim sum that first won hearts in 2014.
Whether you're a fan of the original dishes or new to Pan-Asian cuisine, the dining experience – whether you choose to sit in the courtyard or take away – is designed to be both enjoyable and memorable.
