TANG Hospitality's flagship Sandton restaurant, which opened in 2021, has unveiled a stunning facelift at an exclusive event attended by some of the who’s who of Johannesburg.
Nicky van der Walt, CEO and Founder of TANG Hospitality, celebrated the brand’s success and explained the meaning behind the re-opening.
“TANG isn’t bricks and mortar or fixtures and fittings. It’s about the human condition and the staff investment, the lives we touch and the change we bring about, and the difference we make in other people’s lives.
“Whether it’s a sculler who worked his way up, a waiter that could finally provide for his family, the engagements celebrated, and the core family memories we created. This re-opening is not merely an aesthetic evolution; it is a renewal of the human spirit that animates the space, the conversations exchanged, the moments curated, and the memories forged within its walls.
“We are not simply refreshing interiors; we are re-energising the soul of the experience.”
The refreshed TANG Sandton embodies elegance and modern Asian luxury, with a striking onyx-lit bar, bespoke booth seating, and imported custom lanterns that echo the sophisticated ambiance of the brand’s Dubai location.
Rich black marble interlaced with delicate white veins creates a sensorial sanctuary where every detail invites guests to immerse themselves in the refined TANG world.
TANG Hospitality’s journey began with a single Sandton destination and has now become a prestigious global brand with more locations in Cape Town and Dubai. TANG Sandton earned the title of Best Asian Cuisine in Africa at the World Luxury Restaurant Awards in Singapore.
In 2025, TANG Waterfront was crowned Global Restaurant of the Year and Best Waterside Restaurant at the Reve Luxury Awards, underscoring its preeminent standing on the world dining stage.
TANG Waterfront was again recognized as Best Luxury Waterside Restaurant — a testament to the consistency and quality that runs through every venue.
Reflecting on these accolades and the Sandton reopening, van der Walt shared, “Winning these prestigious awards is a true celebration of everything we stand for: excellence, innovation, and the unwavering passion behind the TANG experience.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see our vision recognised on a global scale and to witness the pride it brings to our team. We’re also thrilled to unveil this newly upgraded TANG Sandton, where our guests can discover an even more elevated and inspiring dining experience.”
