The Riverside Cantonese - 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!

I had an amazing dining experience today at this restaurant. The hospitality was warm and friendly, and we even had a nice conversation with a charming Chinese couple at the table next to us. I was astonished by the amount of food they were able to eat. We ordered 4 starters for 3 people, all of which were served hot and made with high-quality ingredients. Our main dishes included pork, chicken, and crab with noodles and rice, all cooked to perfection. Not only was the food delicious, but it was also great value for the money. The waitress even opened the rear door into the car park for us since it was raining. Overall, it was a fantastic choice for a meal today. Thank you!

We tried one of the set menus and every dish was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive to our small children. We will definitely be returning as it was the 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.
