Enjoyed the food and a great place for groups and families. The tables were large and big groups were all seated in the same area. At times it all became a bit overstimulating. This was a Saturday night though, I'd imagine it isn't like this all the time.

For over forty years this restaurant has been a favourite in the Welsh capital. Whilst the location has moved in the recent years, the food has always remained as good as it’s always been. Showcasing the finest Cantonese food in Cardiff. So this Sunday evening I took a good friend along to indulge and enjoy. For starters we had the veggie spring rolls, chicken and sweetcorn soup along with the scallops in deep fried batter. Prawn crackers are mandatory as anyone will tell you. They're always nice and fresh. Mineral water and soft drinks, no alcohol this evening. The fantastic Yung Chow fried rice always satisfies and tastes amazing. It had pork, chicken, prawn and veggies. When you had a touch of soy sauce, the taste is divine. Roast duck with ginger and spring onions and traditional roast duck were the mains ordered this evening. The duck was flavoursome, tender, crisp skin, sweet sauce hit the spot. The ginger and spring onion dish was also very tasty. Staff are always courteous, engaging and uber efficient. We enjoyed the rice so much, we ordered another portion. No service charge is added to the bill, so we tipped generously. Highly recommend.

My first visit (three of us). First impression was how clean, airy and modern it looked. We hadn't pre booked, it was around 6pm and a Thursday but still fairly busy (I would pre book in future). Service was pleasant and efficient. We had the set meal for three, this was really good (£25 per head). Toilets modern and clean. Would really recommend.
