Riverside Chinese - Cardiff

First visit tonight for my birthday meal and very nice. Clean, nice decor and toilets. Staff were pleasant and service quick. They clearly work very hard. Food: prawn crackers, pork lettuce wraps, prawn toast and vegetable spring rolls to start. All very nice. Main meal highlights were crispy beef, egg fried rice and sweet and sour king prawns. What we couldn't eat they packed up for us. Bottle of white wine was lovely. Busy trade but not loud.

Just returned from a fabulous New Years Eve meal. We are regulars, so I wanted to try something different the soft shell crab; it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The other dishes, sweet and sour king prawns and beef in black bean sauce are always magnificent! I had a pork based rice which was superb. My compliments to the duty Chef 1 p.m. 31. 12. 23. I doubt if there’s a better restaurant anywhere in the U.K. Happy New Year, and see you soon!

Today’s meal was outstanding. The welcome was warm and friendly and we chatted to a lovely Chinese couple on the next table. I congratulated them on how much food they ate. It was truly impressive. We had 4 starters for 3 people which were piping hot and excellent ingredients. 3 mains of pork, chicken and crab with noodles and rice. Everything was freshly cooked to perfection. Great value for money too. The waitress even oped the rear door into the car park as it was raining. A great choice today. Thank you!!

We had one of the set meals and every dish was delicious! The service was great, friendly and helpful with our small children. We will absolutely be back best meal we've had in a long time!

We took my dad out with the family for his birthday. The staff are ok but need more. There was a man with an apron on who didn’t care people were trying to get the waitress attention. It’s so noise in there like a roudy pub atmosphere. People were hanging around literally shouting. Not a family meal out vibe at all. It’s a shame I wouldn’t go back because the food was nice. Just the atmosphere doesn’t reflect the high price of the food.
