Chinese Flavor in Swansea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Premier small but has most things, if you ask for sumthing thày will do thayer best to get it for you staff exalent.

Oh my god, can I beg you that your service attitude is not so bad? Why do you give it five stars? It is convenient to pin it to the top so that others can see it. The exchange rate is higher than that of the bank. I can’t swipe the card and I understand everything. The food is still unpalatable. Am I a very simple person? May I ask? Why on earth did I walk into this store? I couldn’t understand it. I regretted it. I felt uncomfortable. It tasted terrible. I found a toilet and dug it out.

Beautiful tasty authentic chinese food outstanding

The best Chinese food in the UK, bar none.

Not delicious, service is not good either

Absolutely amazing, legit chinese cuisine, many options and all deliciously prepared!

Absolutely delicious and really good value. Good range of food and lots of vegetarian options available. Staff were very friendly too.

Amazing food and super cheap for the quality and quantity. Really friendly staff

Authentic, tasty and reasonably priced.

I know all the good sports from Swansea all the way to London, this is one of the best I've ever had. Been here once since. Will be going back in a few days with my family this time

If you are looking for authentic northern chinese food, this place won’t disappoint you. We enjoyed the food so much after a day of travelling from London, that makes the tiring day perfect. The lady was very nice and served food super fast. We ordered dry wok intestines, 锅包肉，老厨白菜，all are excellent. Price is reasonable, definitely value for money.

Excellent authentic Chinese food. 4.1 star is a lie in my opinion! They deserve much more

Best chicken noodles I've ever tasted 😍 full of flavour. And staff were very kind and lovely

Pretty decent, authentic Chinese 🇨🇳 🏮food 🍜🥠🫖 a bit too sour and too hot but dumplings have stolen my taste buds 😋 The restaurant is quite cold inside and ambience might look a bit tacky with some bits & bobs here and there but staff is kind and super fast. Definitely not my fav Chinese Restaurant in City but there will be no regrets for revisit one day...

The dry wok pork intestine is good. This is 6th time visiting and taste the same always. Very friendly lady serving. Clean and tidy area.

Out standing food 5stars to the staff well done

Authentic feel and some lovely food especially impressed with broccoli in garlic

Great food! Great atmosphere! The lady serving us was nice. And the son of the boss was such an adorable boy :)

Fabulous authentic Chinese food with only some dishes slightly tuned to to western tastes. Wide wide range of stunning vegetarian food with the deep fried aubergine particular stand out makes this decor seating and service is typical Chinese family business style a friendly Nihao (hello) on arrival always brings a smile while a Mai dan (the bill) brings the meal to a close. Like many Chinese business the preference is for cash and yet the excellent food is by no means expensive. Highly recommended if you want to experience tasty authentic Chinese food they even do hot pot a northern Chinese favourite ( with mongol roots) very popular in the winter when you will find the majority of chinese clientele indulging.

The best Chinese food we’ve ever had. We went there accidentally as we were on our way to a Thai restaurant but walked past and thought it looked good. There is a bit of a wait but it’s definitely worth it. Everything we ordered was delicious. Salt and pepper chicken was to die for. Would recommend and will go again when visiting Swansea.

A fantastic Chinese restaurant which specialises in authentic traditional Chinese cooking, unlike a lot of modern Chinese restaurants. After entering it feels like you have been transported to rural China with the decor, and the food is mind blowing, you need to try the Xianjing lamb and the many sweet and sour dishes. Very handy that they have a picture book menu.

We were visiting Swansea for the day and decided to pop in to this restaurant called Chinese flavor for lunch. As you can see by the pictures everything looks fabulous. The service was impeccable in the restaurant was very clean. Can’t wait to go back.

Very nice place food is amazing. I would definitely recommend it.

Food is excellent, spicy eggplant to die for. Truly Chinese experience.

Lovely food in a vibrant atmosphere. Lots of Chinese students and families. Not your standard Chinese restaurant.

The food is good but the boss could be more responsible for recruiting maybe one or two part time staff during the night? The restaurant was so crowded and everyone was waiting for their food to come….(we arrived earlier and waited for 50 minutes for the food), imagine the others.

Lovely food,very tasty and fresh.friendly service,recommended!

Only customers here ,language issues,food not what we saw on picture menu.Food properly cooked ,no issues with cleanliness

We usually go to this mom-and-pop place for hotpot but mixed it up with gong bao chicken, home style tofu, yu xiang eggplant and the sweet bean paste pork in wraps (a street version of Beijing duck)—all excellent and tasting of China. This for me is one of the two best Chinese restaurants in Swansea at the moment. PSA: even though there are helpful pictures on the menu, go with a Chinese speaker.

Beautiful food.. The best Chinese in swansea

My personal favourite Chinese restaurant in Swansea

As a Chinese, hands down this is the most authentic and delicious Chinese restaurant in Swansea. My bf who’s born and raised Welsh loves this place as well. The owner is very friendly despite they don’t speak English very well they’ll try their best to help you. If you forgot to bring cash there’s a FREE cash machine right outside. Couldn’t recommend more. Don’t know where all the bad reviews come from, it’s really unfair for them. I go this place at least once a week and never experienced the so called “poor hygiene” and “bad service”problem.

Undoubtedly the best and most authentic Chinese restaurant in the area, so much that it has become a regular event in the calendar. With such a wide range of options on the menu there is something for everyone, and all the food tastes amazing so no matter what you decide to order you’ll never be disappointed.

greatest chinese to ever grace your lips

This restaurant is the closest you’ll get to China without leaving Swansea. Fantastic food every time, personally would recommend the beef brisket noodles. Will continue to visit on a regular basis 👍👍

Kid in the staff area, sounds of Wok tossing, this place serves real authentic Chinese food, using original Chinese spices and chillies, this place does not disappoint. While communicating in English can be difficult, the lady owner is helpful and a joy to be around. Good vibes all around

Food is unreal and service is great, always very welcoming whenever we go. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough.

We decided to try out this chinese as not been here before since it changed hands feom gigi gaos the favourite. the restaurant was very busy on entering, which was a good sign. We waited a few minutes by the door before someone greeted us. We could see there was a spare table at the front but it needed to be cleaned. We had to wait a while for the table to be cleaned for us to sit down. We stood like lemons waiting and didnt even get told to sit down when the table was cleaned. It took half an hour to even be acknowledged and served. We appreciate it is a small family run business and it was very busy but the least they could do is serve us drinks whilst awaiting to take our order. We very nearly walked out. The young boy took our order and served drinks straight away. There is a large selection of traditional chinese food and western chinese food. Myself and partner had crispy aubergine, crispy pork which i would recommend, satay chicken and black pepper beef. When we had finished the meal, the young boy was eating his tea as the restaurant had emptied. He Didnt even look up to see if we had finished. We had to shout out for the bill. Finally they only except cash, which was annoying. My partner had to go to atm. This little family restaurant has a lot to offer and could be very good. They need to work on customer service and hospitality and make sure they have more awareness of the customers. This has the potential to be a very good business but our overall experience wasnt very good im afraid to say.

Overall only okay. The kou sui ji wasnt the best but it isnt bad. The fried pork intestine was alright. The aubergine was good but it looked very different to the picture. Overall is fine but I wouldnt order these again. Customer service was good though, the lady serving us was nice and friendly.

Late lunch on Sunday. Family run small business. Taste is indeed quite good and authentic compared to some Chinese restaurants in London, Man City and Cardiff.

You never expect how much food they will give until you see it and realise its too much to finish off but it taste so good. Plenty full.👍🏾

We love this authentic, family run business. It has quickly become our favourite place to eat in the city. Service is always so pleasant and the food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Northeastern crispy pork dish.

The food we ordered was excellent as always. Another English table not familiar with the restaurant asked a question about the menu. This got lost in translation and we had to help out.

The best Chinese in Swansea! Nothing else compares. Traditional, authentic Chinese cuisine.

Poor food taste, poor service..

Extremely awful service. Absolutely bad experience. I wish I could give negative marks instead of 1 mark. My friends and I went to this pathetic restaurant today, having a hot pot dinner, where the menu and the owner said you could eat as many as you want. However, when we ordered the beef, she turned a blind eye to us and refused to serve us more food, and the owners said a lot of bad words to us. This is not the right way how you treat your costumers — what a disgrace.

Bad Chinese restaurant I have ever tasted in Swansea. 100% not recommended

Poor Service. The owner always turn a bad face when serve the customers. Poor condition of hygiene.

Wish I could choose no stars as they don't deserve any but have to put 1 to write this review. - Awful service received. Tried ordering Fortune Cookies for the company I work for as it's world fortune cookie day September Friday 13th. Wanted to order around about 215 cookies and the staff decided to disconnect my call instead. I appreciate they may have thought it was a joke however I gave details and information on the company I work for and why I wanted to order these cookies. After trying to ring back multiple times they are now choosing to ignore my calls. Disgusted with this service.

Their red cooked pork belly is divine!

This is a good Chinese. Great variety of options and not just 'british' Chinese food. It's also very reasonably priced. I've been here a couple of times, tried different things each time and never had a bad dish

I have used the Gourmet Restaurant before and enjoyed it so when I found it closed for holidays I tried Favorit which is only a few doors away We had a lovely meal Service was good Perhaps we should have asked for more advice as the menu has lots of tempting authentic dishes We will enquire more next time Great food , lovely atmosphere Majority of diners were Chinese , always a good sign A real find .

One of the better Chinese restaurants in Swansea and there are a few good ones.

Best authentic Chinese food in swansea. Hands down

Amazing find. Very authentic Chinese food in a small family run restaurant, popular with Chinese students. The large menu gives plenty of scope for adventurous dining or more staid Western choices. I had spicy ducks tongues, which were excellent and the hot and sour soup was exactly that - and plenty of it. The sweet potato and crab roe fried potatoes were just melt in the mouth succulent as were the mackerel jiaozi and much more. I will definitely return and try one of the hot pot options. This is a must for food lovers with a taste for real Chinese cuisine.

Authentic Chinese food, very generous portions and great value for money. I could eat the pork belly every day. The staff are kind and attentive but don't hassle you. You can also get the Chinese hot pot which I've seen others enjoy. No card machine but you can get cash from a few doors down so it's no bother.

Il cibo è veramente ben cucinato. Consigliato

Fantastic food and genuine atmosphere

Good and authentic Chinese food from China .

We use to come here when it was called favorite. This was our fist time since its under the new name but we were very impressed. Lovely food and good service. The only negative is when I called to book a table the man on the phone just asked what time then put the phone down. Didn't ask how many people or a name. Very odd

My daughter and I called for lunch. She started with the spring rolls which were lovely. Me the hot and sour soup. I asked for it not to be too spicy but it was actually bland! For mains daughter had a chicken dish which was very tasty and me a stewed pork dish not as good as the Ho Chi Min pork I’ve had in the Favourite Chinese Restaurant but nice enough. Will we return ? Not sure there’s another Chinese restaurant a few doors away I’ll probably try that next !

Excellent and authentic Chinese food

Never recommend this chinese restaurant.

In the process of my meal, the son of the boss, around the age of three, was very noisy and full of insults, and was vomiting. Very disgusting, disgusting that I can't stay on.

Decent sizing and pricing perfect for family nows out or coupled

Authentic good Chinese , family lovely ,

I went with a few friends from my uni course who are from China, so they recommended some dishes which were absolutely delicious! It's quite a small little restaurant, but it's comfortable, friendly, and run by an adorable family. Great for a fun and, perhaps, adventurous culinary adventure if you're used to a more familiar menu normally found in Chinese restaurants in Britain.

Really authentic Chinese experience, great food, friendly owner, cosy atmosphere, well recommended!

We took some Chinese students here because they did hot pot, the food was bland and the stock had no flavour. We didn’t know what we were eating as it wasn’t explained to us, the other food that was being brought out looked much better. Shame and was quite expensive for a bowl of stock with bits in!

Basic Chinese restaurant, some dishes ok but others rubbish - just scraps of bones deep fried. It would take a few visits to weed out the decent dishes from the scraps. Only one staff member spoke English, she was lovely and very helpful but that's the only significant plus. Several Chinese patronise the place but not really suitable for a special night out. Large portions, reasonable prices, plastic plates and dishes - not much more to add. Not worth a second visit given the large choice of superior places to eat in Swansea.

This is popular with Chinese which says something and has a great alternative, authentic menu. Their speciality are hot-pot buffet. This is a homely, relaxed, casual restaurant, it won't be everyone's taste - don't expect 'standard' British Chinese menu, although you will find these options available. There are a lot of menu options and I looking forward to going back.

Entré con unos amigos a probar este nuevo restaurante chino que está en el mismo local que otro famoso restaurante chino de Swansea que se trasladó a otro local en la Marina. Por dentro igual de acogedor que el anterior con una distribución similar. La barra ha cambiado de sitio ahora estando más cerca de la cocina. La carta es muy amplia y bien explicada con numerosas fotos de los platos, lo cual hace más sencilla la elección. Mis amigos pidieron ternera en salsa de ostras y un pollo en salsa cuyo nombre ahora no recuerdo y yo pedí kung Pao chicken. Todo delicioso, muy bien presentado, raciones no excesivamente grandes pero correctas. También pedimos arroz blanco para acompañar y venía en un cuenco térmico con tapa. De precio estuvo bien, acorde a la calidad de la comida. Repetiré en breve.

Visited in the opening week. The interior had a good feel to it with solid wood tables and seats which felt of good quality. Unfortunately this was in made the contrast with the plastic plates and overly light cutlery a little too evident. The highlight of the restaurant was the sheer level of selection available. There was plenty of dishes which left me and my wife wanting to try them all (Many of which I had not seen since I last visited China)! Additionally there were dishes which we had not seen before. The food was prepared well and did not take too long to arrive. Overall the food was well prepared, although a the portions were a little on the smaller than we would like side (this is in comparison to other Chinese restaurants in the area which are often on the overly generous side). This coupled with a higher cost than the other restaurants did not feel too great. A little more food and it would feel like you were getting your moneys worth. The staff were helpful however due to it being quite busy, quite often when requesting something they could pass us by. An inconvenient side to the restaurant was that they only accepted cash. Even with the negatives, due to the quality of the food available, I rate this very good instead of just average. Although this is a just about 'very good'. Improvements in the service and a slight upgrade in the utensils, a more generous portion size and this could be a strong very good or even excellent. Overall the restaurant has enough about it to make us want to go visit again.

Opening day today and the restaurant was full when we arrived, a really good sign of what was to come. We used to eat at the restaurant which was previously in the same property and we feared that this new one wouldn't be able to compete. Wrong! We have just had a culinary delight. Lovely to see traditional Chinese dishes on the menu and plenty of choice, so much that it took us quite a while to decide. We opted for Homemade Tofu, Wangji Dumplings(named after the owner we were told), Yuxiang Shredded Pork and Kung Pao Shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection and delivered with a smile. The restaurant was busy but we didn't feel that the staff were rushed and they were on hand to advise if needed. As it was the first day, the food did take a little while to arrive but I think this will speed up with time. It was worth waiting for and gave us a chance to relax and look at the menu. The restaurant also does a choice of Hotpots which we will try next time. Just to be aware, at the moment, it is cash only as they haven't had their card payments set up yet. We will be back, again and again and again!
