good portion size, plenty of chicken in the dishes ordered, the taste ok, the packaging definitely needs to be improved, dishes also lose a lot of sauce as a result
2/22 Packing now has improved !
Food quality very nice. Had Chicken black bean.

So, I was previously obsessed with this restaurant. The food is amazing, great portions, affordable and they are in a great location, though the space is rather small.

My biggest issue with this restaurant is the service. I have only had one positive interaction there in the two years I've been a customer there.

And more recently, I am pretty sure I was infected with Covid-19 in this restaurant. My friend and I were the only diners there on afternoon and a lady came in coughing her lungs out and without a mask on. She was not asked to leave, nor exercise caution and by the time my friend and I rushed through paying and packing up our food, we were already infected.
I am unfortunately not surprised because prior to that, a month or so after lockdown restrictions were lifted, I had to argue with possibly all of the waitresses to keep the windows open one evening, although the place was packed to the brim with customers.

To further drive my point home, I see now that they have been closed for the past two weeks, most likely because all the workers were also infected with the virus from that one customer. Such a shame :(

I can't believe there is still a place where the sushi is worth it. This food was incredible. And the portions were amazing. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back

Always a reliable place to get a quick supper. Some great dishes - Lemon chicken, sesame chicken, curry beef flank, chicken fried rice, prawn spring rolls. Personally not as fond of their pad Thai or kung pow chicken. Great service and fast.

Amazing restaurant - the food is fantastic and there is great variety to choose from. The service can be a bit slow but otherwise it is worth the wait! They have the most amazing Dim Sum - potstickers, char siu bao, dumplings, Spring Onion pancake etc! I would highly recommend the Sesame Chicken - it seems as if everyone loves this dish. It is definitely my favourite. The noodles are well flavoured. The dipping sauces they serve are amazing.

I went to Make for lunch and there wasn't much people in, though seems to be a spot popular with tourists, given the location in central Sea Point. The atmosphere is casual and the decoration is modern. They were very busy with deliveries, but the attention was nice and the food ready in our table very quickly.
I loved the vegetable dumplings, to the point to ordering a extra portion at the end to take away, they are slightly smoked, really delicious! The fried egg rice was also very well seasoned. The veg. buns were kind of dull, not much filing, same as the spring rolls. The mapo tofu was good, but too oily. The price of most items is good.

4 and not 5 because the lack of fillings on the spring rolls and bums (compared with other chinese food restaurants in Cape Town) and the excessively oily mapo.

A very beautiful Chinese restaurant. The food is really delicious and affordably priced. A great place to just go out and have some good food, it's very clean the music that play is very relaxing. So will definitely recommend Making, one of my favourite goto places since I was a teenager and the chef is really good at doing what he does best which is making good food so definitely a 5-star restaurant for me. The staff is really friendly too.
