⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Service & Welcoming Atmosphere at Hodo Lounge! I visited Hodo Lounge last night with my partner, four friends, and two dogs, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, but what really made the experience stand out was the incredible service from Ryan behind the bar. I have a severe banana allergy, and one of my friends has celiac disease, so we’re always cautious when dining out. Ryan was exceptionally attentive to our dietary restrictions, ensuring we felt comfortable and safe while also being genuinely friendly and easy to chat with. I ordered the standard Lounge Brunch without tomatoes, and Ryan went the extra mile by offering to swap them for something else. I chose mushrooms for my partner, which was a thoughtful touch. I also ordered the large Lounge Brunch for myself with the same adjustment and got an extra hash brown instead—small details like this make a big difference! For drinks, my partner had a Diet Coke while I ordered a Daceri Nolarder (alcohol-free). Two of my friends also got the same drink and really enjoyed it, but I found it wasn’t quite to my taste. When Ryan checked in with us after a few minutes, I mentioned this, and without hesitation, he asked if there was something else I’d prefer. I requested a peppermint tea, and to my surprise, he brought it out free of charge—a really kind and thoughtful gesture. Beyond the excellent service, the food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and we all felt incredibly welcome—including the dogs! It’s rare to find staff who not only accommodate dietary needs so attentively but also go out of their way to make sure every guest has a fantastic experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back, and we’ll definitely be recommending Hodo Lounge—especially thanks to Ryan’s outstanding hospitality.

Very disappointed ☹️ Ordered 2 x eggs Benedict 1 with salmon & the other with bacon. Poached eggs were more like hard boiled eggs on both meals, salmon almost non existent, bacon was un edible & over cooked , hollandaise sauce hardly any at all no garnish, Told the staff member & all she said was I will let the chef know!! & offered a slice of Cake 🤔 1 coffee 1 Beer £31 Never to return Disgusting 👎

Have been coming here quite a lot recently and have found the service to be pretty poor. The staff are quite rude and normally if I had a problem I would approach a member of staff in the first instance but this evening I found the bar man to be quite intimidating so didn’t want to. Beautiful place but customer service not great.

5 of us eat there at lunchtime today. Meals came all different times. Still waiting for mine 20 mins after everyone else. Also turned up completely cold. All the meals were cold. It was very busy today but meals were really not up st scratch for a lounge. Having eaten in many lounges throughout Cardiff and always enjoyed. Unfortunately today was a let down and a put of. Staff were extremely busy though. Need more staff and food arriving still hot.

Having recent experience of other "Lounges" venues i sent a booking enquiry through the Hudo website, had automatic reply saying member of the team would be in touch within 24 hours but nothing. Tried chasing but got nowhere. So....booking enquiry ignored. Messenger message ignored. Comment on Facebook post ignored. Email ignored & phone line constantly engaged. Shockingly unprofessional, highly disappointed. No idea what the venue or the food is like, and sadly never will.

This review is based purely on the booking system. No one answering the phones ever no matter what time you call to amend a booking. The booking system only lets you book for 6 or more people which doesn't help for smaller parties.

There was a lady locked in the accessible toilets (she was okay, albeit.. drugged up.) had to climb an obscene amount of stairs with my walking stick (MS) to the other toilets while staff flapped. Staff were unaware that the lady had been in there since before we had arrived (90 mins earlier), but they were familiar with her. Staff were not remotely apologetic for the inconvenience and struggle to get upstairs. It just put a dampener on the experience. Food was very nice though.

No puedo recomendar el personal en este lugar lo suficiente. Estuvimos aquí el 9 de septiembre y el personal era brillante cuando les hicimos consciente de una alergia. El gerente fue y revisó todo en la cocina hasta qué ingredientes estamos en los diferentes tipos de pan que tienen con el fin de construir a mi compañero un lácteo y huevos libres de soja Benedict. La comida era buena, y su nido de abeja helado café con leche era genial también!

We had the best experience at Hudo Lounge when we booked it for a post parkrun brunch to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Camilla was an absolute star and a pleasure to deal with throughout - from taking our initial booking for 40 people and managing the food pre-orders to decking out our section with balloons and Prosecco on the day. The efforts Camilla and her team went to for us really made our celebration ❤️

It gets very loud when it's busy - no soft furnishings to soak up the sound - but an amazingly varied menu and absolutely ideal for veggies and vegans, they have separate menus for each which are as big as the ones for carnivores. Drinks are a bit pricey, though.

Once again we were very impressed with the friendly service which is always a bonus , a warm welcome and of course excellent food. More than happy to go again, just about to book again for 3 further events in Cardiff and am hoping they can fit us in. P.s. The interior of the place is really welcoming too.

Went lunchtime on a weekday, plenty of free tables. Nicely laid out with low lighting rather than stark bright ceiling lights. Good choice of food, prices reasonable.
