    Mujibs is situated about 3 miles North of Central Cardiff, just North of the flyover at Gabalfa. The food here is delicious, an eat all you like Chinese & Indian food buffet is available 7 nights a week for £9.95 (£7.95 at lunchtime on Sundays), or you can order off the main menu. The bar at mujibs is nice & relaxing with comfy sofa's & music playing, it's ideal for sitting down to enjoy a meal before or after your meal. The building itself is situated on a sort of traffic island, the roads around it are busy but there is a good size car park behind the building with access from either direction, with the help of the traffic lights it's easy to get in and out of here. Please excuse the clarity of the photo - it was taken from the car when stopped at said traffic lights!!

    Duck & spring onion pancake rolls with plum sauce... very good indeed!!

    Probably the best Chinese restaurant in Cardiff, and only five minutes walk from Cardiff Central Station - The Cantonese in Riverside. It is in the heart of Cardiff's small Chinese community, on a street of Chinese supermarkets and takeaways.

    Located up a flight of steps on the first floor of a modest sized house, the restaurant area id very spacious, cleverly decorated with dragons racing around the ceiling. The bar is excellent too, right on the corner of the building with views up and down the street.

    The restaurant's staff, all of Chinese origin, dressed in black, are friendly, helpful and humerous.

    There is a MASSIVE menu, including seafood, vegetarian dishes, chicken, pork, beef, lamb, duck, veal... and usually a rather worried lobster in a large tank of water by the door, with its claws taped-up! We had the mixed starters (6 GBP each) and I had the lamb with ginger and spring onions for my main dish (8 GBP). The service is very stylish. For example we ordered some 'aromatic duck' pancakes for starters. The crispy duck was brought to the next-door table where the waiters proceeded to shred it there expertly and fold it into pancakes.

    Sean made a reservation in this restaurant after he realized some other place was full. He was a bit suspicious at first, but for no reason since the food was great, atmosphere pleasant and service quick - all this on a crowded Saturday evening.

    Morgan suggested that we order different kinds of food and share. Everything was delicious so the only trouble was to decide what to try first.

    (Well, as with any VT meetings the first thing was food photo session, followed by table photo session. Some kind of restaurant manager also proved himself as a good photographer).

    An interesting, cosy, popular restaurant and bar right by Cardiff Bay, that specialises in Dim Sum - a sort of Chinese tapas. There is an extensive menu of these small Chinese dishes.

    Inside the restaurant it looks fabulous - deep colours, beautiful furnishings (including illuminated marble tables), lounges filled with soft cushions. There is a long bar and, when the eating has finished the music gets louder, the restaurant turning into a late night place for drinking and talking.

    The general idea is to buy a variety of dim sum dishes, some rice and noodles, and share them.

    We spent an entire evening from 8 till 11pm, working our way through the Dim Sum menu. There are a wide selection of boiled dumplings, deep fried pancake rolls, rice and noodle dishes. Our bill, at the end of all this came to less than 20 GBP each, including drinks and 10% tip.

    The noodle dishes were especially delicious, a curious mixture of soft and crunchy noodles. The pineapple rice dish is also spectacular, served inside a real pineapple. My personal favorites were the chiu chow dumplings and the prawn & mango spring rolls.

    Many thanks to Jane, the diminutive Chinese Malay waitress, whose big personality and friendly enthusiasm made the evening all the more fun!

    This restaurant is One of the classiest Chinese restaurants in Cardiff is located down at Mermaid quay in Cardiff bay.

    Beware: you may think you've accidentally wandered into an aquarium, as this place has a fish tank built into the full length of the bar!

    It says it is *sophisticated oriental themed cocktail bar situated on the waterfront* in the blurb, which is exactly what it is. Handy for the theatre which is close by. I think the website picture looks better than the ones I took!

    We had: wter £1.90, glass of chablis £5.80, shanghai stew £3.30 Beef cheung fung £3.30 scallop cheung fung and fried rice £8.00. Total bill came to £28.82 which is very reasonable indeed.

    I like scallops, they are small tasty and very filling, not too many calories.

  • Friendly staff welcome you as you arrive. A large ground floor bar area to buy a drink whilst studying the menu then up to the 1st floor dining area. A large and varied menu suitable to those new to Chineese food and those with more experienced tastes. Good value, great food, friendly atmosphere. Well worth a try.
