In Cafe Cardiff in Cardiff - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was absolutely delicious and freshly cooked. Flavours were fantastic and not gloupy like some Chinese restaurants. Best Chinese we’ve had in a while. The staff are very friendly and love how relaxed it was. Was quite noisy but in a small area this cannot be helped. Definitely will go back and also get a takeaway from here.

This is a restaurant you should not miss if you like traditional Hong Kong food! And better to reserve a table before you come!

Excellent little Chinese restaurant with friendly staff & very tasty food! Highly recommend, we loved it & can't wait to go back

Quick delivery and excellent food

Great versatile menu of delicious Chinese food. Really excellent vegan menu as well. Owner is really friendly. We appreciated the free goodies.

Best Hongkong restaurant in UK and wouldn’t mind driving all the way from London only for high quality food and drinks they serve!

The cafe was very accommodating as we were late for our booking time by 40 minutes due to traffic. Good recommendations for dishes and the food was delicious and authentic Cantonese dishes from Hong Kong. Will go again.

My wife asked for Beef satay sauce, when the dish arrived it was certainly not what was ordered, we questioned the waiter who said that's what we asked for. When the bill came it was listed as a Beef satay sauce HOTPOT, it did not say that on the page we ordered from, if we had known it was a Hotpot, we would not have ordered it. Very disappointed with the service,and looking at the menu it's clear we were given the HK special dish with glass noodles, the waiter was at fault. We only visit this Chinese cafe, but we may not return after this, shame really. Update: I have spoken to the owner today, and she very generously gave us the correct dish, great customer service, will be back soon!

My partner asked for Beef with satay sauce, as described in the menu. What arrived was not what we expected, my partner ate it to not make a fuss. When the bill arrived it clearly showed that it was a Hotpot, it DOES not say this on the menu. This is the 2nd time we have been given the wrong dish. We questioned the waiter, but he said it was what we ordered. Very disappointed, as we regularly come here, but not sure we will return again.

I eat alot of Chinese takeaways and go to alot of restaurants and In cafe is by far the best I've ever been too. The food was delicious and staff were amazing. Cannot wait to go back there.

Ordered food to celebrate a birthday. The app was easy to use. Delivery was right on time. The food was gorgeous!

Bad service, food only worth one star. Will not go again!

We went on a very quiet Tuesday evening. The service was excellent but the food was even better

Ordered from here on for the first and was not disappointed. My partner is a vegetarian and they pretty much have a full menu catered to veggies and vegans! Both meals were amazing and very generous portions. Will 100% be ordering again l! 😁

A table for 4 …starters of honey ribs, prawns and chicken in batter .. main egg fried rice, noodle's, chicken/blackbean sauce, sezuhan chicken, kung po duck and salt and chilli chicken loads of food , portion size ample and of excellent quality would highly recommend visiting or a great take away

Having ordered home food delivery from In Cafe many times, I decided it was finally time we tried eating in. We booked a table yesterday evening and ordered a selection from both the main and vegan menus. Every dish was superb. In Cafe really stands out for the choices they offer veggies and vegans... there are as many dishes available as there are on the standard menu. We particularly enjoyed the vegan salt and pepper squid, and vegan chicken balls. My dad loved his sweet and sour (real) chicken, and the special spicy fried rice with a combo of vegan chicken/pork/beef/seafood was absolutely superb. The staff did not stop smiling the whole time we were there, and it was clear a number of other groups who came in were regulars. Loved it and will be back time and time again I'm sure. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

terrific good Cantonese food was far beyond my expectations. can’t complain anymore! wish they could make more different Hong Kong dishes.

The food was so fresh and very tasty. The staff were so lovely and accommodating, especially as there was a big group of us. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Great good and great service. We will return.

Went here recently , There was a vast Vegan Menu on offer . I had the vegan menu and I really enjoyed the Vegan Black Pepper beef and Potatoes , The sweet and Sour Chicken , The Vegetable Fried Rice and the Prawnless Toast. So worth a visit

Me and my son went to this place for the 1st time yesterday before a gig in town. I'd heard some very good reports from others so we gave it a go. Wow !! This has to be by a mile the best Chinese food and service I've ever had. The welcome was amazing when we arrived. Everything on the menu looked and sounded amazing and the food was the best, most tastiest I've eaten for a long long time. We had the Salt & Chilli Spare Ribs (Incredible), the Lettuce Wraps (stunning) Hong Kong style Chilli Rice (OMG) and the Crispy Shredded beef ( knockout). Still keen to try more after that we decided to go for the French Toast Peanut Butter and Maple Syrup with Ice Cream dessert and OMG !! The best dessert I've ever had also. The service was 1st class, even one of the chefs came out to speak to us!! I'm going back 100% Again and Again and Again. Try stopping us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️10/10 Full Marks Best place ever .

Lovely place , lovely helpful staff ,amazing spring rolls

We went there on Tuesday evening as it was our anniversary. The food was extremely delicious. Don't get fooled by the decor... It's very simplistic and neat and clean. We ordered some starters - mini spring rolls and chicken fried dumplings. We ordered 2 fried rice between the 4 of us. 1 Vegetarian Singapore noodles, 1 chicken in black bean sauce, 1 salt, and pepper chicken. The salt and pepper chicken was so delicious and tasty. The quantity of the food was excellent, and I thought we ordered too much as there were leftovers. I would recommend this to anyone.

We have just ordered takeaway from this restaurant, and we were so pleased with our order! I am vegetarian and was so happy to see such an extensive vegan menu! Usually I just have to order plain chow mein or chips, so I was overjoyed to be able to order meat alternatives and even vegan prawn crackers! My meat-eating friends were also very happy with their chicken and ribs. The food was cooked and ready within half an hour which we were also very pleased with. So far, this is the best Chinese we have tried in Cardiff!

Great plant based / vegan Chinese dishes

LOVE the food here, will keep coming back for sure!

The service was good and the food even better. Might feel a bit pricey for a single person, but the dishes are big and meant for share, so don’t let the price mislead you. Flavour and quality are definitely worth your time. Would recommend and will go back.

Real Hong Kong taste Hot milk tea is good Frozen lemon tea has good tea flavor My favorite at night is the Satay Fat Beef Vermicelli and Thin Beef Satay, which are rich and spicy but are a perfect interpretation of Hong Kong-style satay. For lunch, we have satay beef with fried rice, which is fried with rice noodles similar to Hsinchu until dry and not greasy! The West Toast is first-rate, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside Hong Kong-style Spicy Pork Fried Rice is a combination of shrimps, grilled pork, chicken and mushrooms stir-fried together. The wok-flavor is spicy enough to wake up the stomach. The highlight is the fried rice base.

Fantastic food as always. Amazing options for the vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters in our group. Great service. Thanks Grace and team!

We had an amazing meal served by pleasant staff the food was full of flavour all Cooked fresh to order we can’t fault it I looking forward to our next visit , I rate this as the best Chinese in Cardiff as we now call this our local

We dined at In Cafe with friends last night and were so impressed with the quality of the food, the first class service and the warmth of the staff. The decor is basic to say the least but it didn’t matter. We’re certain to want to return for more of their delicious food!

Tried everywhere for a decent Chinese Takeawayin Cardiff. Read reviews for here,decided to travel across city to try it out. Still looking for a decent Chinese Takeaway. Can't understand how this place has garnered such great reviews. It was average at best,and not good value for money.

We ended up here almost by accident as what would be our first and second choice restaurants in this area were both closed on the Monday evening we were dining but we most certainly did not regret it. We were a mixed party of two vegans (myself and my son) and two omni. The vegan choice was amazing and shadowed the main menu using meat substitutes where appropriate but also featured stand alone vegan dishes using bean curd and noodles. Quite literally there was something for everyone with my son and I being spoilt for choice (as vegans we often have to face very limited choices when eating out and you can only face so many veggie burgers) The quality of the food (which arrived very promptly accompanied by very friendly and cheerful service) was really excellent and we all agreed that this restaurant would most certainly be somewhere we would happily revisit. Very, very highly recommended for both vegans and non vegans.

Super helpful staff, great menu, good portions! Nice atmosphere and delicious food. On street parking easy. Small restaurant so need to book.

Superb food , good portions , bit pricey. We had Starter. Lettuce wraps. £11.50. Fab. Hubby has prawn crackers & chill sauce. Mains Me Pekingese chicken. Good size portion. £11-£12 Egg fried rice £5.50. Good portion. Hubby. Lemon chicken. Lovely . Again great size portion. Chips. Egg fried rice. 2 cokes. 2 beers. (Small) Total £76. 😱 They got bill wrong twice. 3 rd attempt got it right. Hope that was a genuine mistake. 🤔. So check bill. 🤔 It was Cold in there. Door doesn’t close properly. Just eat etc in & out. Should do so something about that. Like a heater above door like Mowgli up the road. Usually go to happy lok. They were closed. Glad found this. But next time we would share a rice. And as main portions big wouldn’t have starter. Hubby says happy lok still has the edge. I prefer here. As I love lettuce wraps. 😜

Called in on the off-chance today lunchtime ...made space for two of us at the window...really nice helpfull staff ...we had treyaki chicken,fried rice, noodles and some fried chicken dumplings ... very very nice ..was busy with a good atmosphere as more people came in . Will definitely return next time I am in the area. Called back I'm today six months later just before noon , the owner recognised us from one visit , thanked us for returning . We had another great lunch , great staff. Was very busy by the time we left , always a good thing . Will make it a regular stop for lunch when I am in Cardiff. Called in again today, reserved a table online in the week. As usual very friendly engaged and genuinely interested owners. Asked us about our reasons for returning and why we visit cardiff. Will be calling again I know during the year will be nice to try more of the menu.

We ordered a takeaway for the first time last night from in cafe. The good is excellent and would highly recommend. Will definitely use again.

Ordered a takeaway for collection this evening, I’m really disappointed in the food, not that tasty, not great quality and far more expensive than my usual takeaway. Thought I’d try this place for a change but I can’t understand all of the 5 star reviews, service was good, staff polite, attentive and the order was ready on time but that’s all I can say that’s positive. I feel ripped off. I never leave reviews but this has really annoyed me having travelled over from Penarth to collect and try it.

In Cafe is one of my favourite restaurants in Cardiff. From the majestic and flavourful food to the wonderful and helpful staff, every visit to In Cafe leaves me feeling full and with a smile on my face. As a vegetarian it’s so wonderful that In Cafe offers vegan alternatives for everything on their menu. This means you’re never spoilt for choice and there’s always something new to try alongside my regular favourites.

Came here for my birthday meal. The food was fantastic and the service and atmosphere was outstanding. Will definitely be back!

I spent over 4 years in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 and my wife is Cantonese so when she found this place we had high hopes. The food overall did not disappoint to bring back those familiar tastes and nostalgia. Still that being said you can see that the food was partially westernised. Still it was a lovely lunch meal, so much that we came back the next day.

A friend recommended In Cafe for a get together and I am so glad she did as it was wonderful. Absolutely delicious food, the service was amazing and the atmosphere was delightful. Will definitely be back again and will be recommending to everyone I know now as well!

Absolutely belting chinese food. Very good service.

By far the best restaurant in Cardiff. The food is incredible, really relaxed friendly service and great prices, as the portion sizes are huge. They have an amazing vegan menu also.

Since Wok to Go went from Birchgrove, been looking for a consistently good Chinese and I think we may have found one. Definitely want to go again, honey ribs particularly good.

I have been to this cafe a few times. Just love the food there. I had my Hong Kong Red Bean Ice for the first time in three years and it’s delicious!

15 visits total and 15 fantastic visits. As a vegan, Grace and the team go out of their way to serve the best vegan Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. Cardiff vegan scene for food has really picked up over last year or so. Will be only using InCafe for all my Chinese food.

One of the best Chinese food in Cardiff

Fresh delicious food with excellent welcoming service. Top notch. All six of us who dined left extremely happy!

Absolutely amazing food so friendly & welcoming.

Superb food. I would highly recommend this place to eat. Me and my partner will definitely be back.

Eaten in and had takeaways here - always a friendly and efficient service and considerate towards special diets. Great menu, lots of choice.

Friendly service and delicious food.

Great selection of vegan options!

Had a nice meal. Singapore fried rice and Hong Kong spring rolls were very nice. So was the beef and spare ribs in peking sauce. Service was attentive. Can get very cold if sitting close to the door. Have a separate vegan menu.

Eight of us ate - four HK Chinese, six Welsh. The Cantonese did the ordering, Delicious. We were so happy both with the food and the service. My Chinese son-in-law is always critical and he was well pleased. We will cetrainly be going back.....

Found this spot by accident on a recent family trip to see our grandson who has just started in Cardiff. What an amazing find - lucky Cardiff. My partner who is from Hong Kong was almost reduced to tears of happiness, claiming that even in Hong Kong it is difficult to find food of such a high standard. Dish after dish of deliciousness together with friendly on point service and very reasonable prices. Well done!

Really delicious, even better than many restaurant in Hong Kong.

Great Chinese food here with lovely staff and great service. We will definitely be going there again.

Best Chinese by far they lettuce wraps and spring rolls are amazing ..Staff so so friendly we have dined here a few times

Ordered online for the first time. Allowed an hour to prepare and cook the food. We had a 20mins drive to pickup. Food was ready on time. Portion sizes were just right. As we are vegetarian, we had lettuce wraps, followed by sweet & sour vegan chicken balls, crispy beef, fried rice and noodles with and added mushrooms...all cooked perfectly. Would recommend In Cafe Cardiff. We will definitely be back again.

Excellent what more can we say. The ambience, cleanliness, lovely staff and exceptional food. Everything spot on and the best Chinese food you could wish for.

1st time and all excellent. It is a really peaceful restaurant where you can chat and enjoy a great meal.

Pay this super little Chinese restaurant a visit, the food is fab, and the staff are so helpful and friendly and very efficient. The restaurant is quite small and I would be recommend booking in advance. Be sure to try the Pancake rolls, and the...

Good service and delicious food.

As a person who loves chinese and has probably tried every one in cardiff over the years, trying this one was a delight. So far I have only had takeaway twice and it's been excellent both times. Well worth a visit and recommend

Totally faultless quality food, well presented, served hot and fresh, one of the best Chinese meals I’ve had in a very long time.

Amazing Hong Kong style dinner for me, even I am a HongKonger for over 50 years. Whatever the food, service, environment, music, prices, all are fantastic. One of the best I have found in UK. Sure will go again and recommend to everyone.

The food was excellent. Best Chinese in Cardiff. So tasty and well presented. Swift service. Must go here to eat in rather than a takeaway.

Whilst a little on the pricey side, in cafe is worth every penny. It's easily the best Chinese we've had in Cardiff. The food is always super tasty and the crispy beef is actually crispy unlike other places. Highly recommend.

The best food, so delicious and sooo friendly... I'll be back...soon

What a great find by my partner! We went there to celebrate my partner’s mum’s birthday and what a great choice that was. The food was absolutely amazing and everything was done to perfection! I do recommend the king prawns in the black bean sauce and the duck in ginger and oyster sauce. Perhaps living in Cardiff for sooo long I grew complacent in thinking that there is not a lot that can so positively surprise me (or maybe this is the lack of going out events due to children😜🤣), but this is an absolute little gem of a place on the Cardiff’s “foody” map👍 Amazing food, great service and a very friendly owner. Would definitely recommend if you want some Chinese / Hong Kong dishes👍

Very friendly. Non intrusive music. Gorgeous decor. A lovely evening for 6 of us celebrating dad and daughter birthdays. The food was delicious!

Lovely meal here last night for my niece's birthday very attentive staff we all got served quickly as there were 10 of us food was delicious everyone cleared their plates will definitely be going back

Freshly cooked, very tasty mainly Cantonese food. Grace and her team provided friendly attentive service. We ate simply: starters of spare ribs in Peking Sauce and spring rolls, both really delicious! Then Chicken Sweet n Sour Hong Kong style, Szechuan Beef, Singapore Vermicelli and fried rice. All dishes were excellent, really authentic flavours (I’ve been to HK and China over 50 times). Decent sized portions. Highly recommend this cafe style restaurant serving delicious food quickly in a friendly environment also frequented by the local Chinese community. We’ll be back!

i always order from here and it never disappoints. as a singaporean chinese, i can say the food here is amazing. also, i brought my chinese grandparents here and they loved it!!!

Excellent authentic Hong Kong café food. Owners are very pleasant helpful people. Thoroughly recommended.

We really enjoyed the food here, but thought the portions to be quite small for the cost. We were surprised particularly by the cost as Trip Advisor marks this place with only one £! Aside from that the staff were so attentive and welcoming, thank...

We ate here for my birthday. It was the best Chinese food we have ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The service was excellent. It will now become our go to take away even though we’d have to drive to get it quite a distance… it was that great!

Excellent meal, lovely staff, will be visiting next time we are in Cardiff. Thank you all so much in Cafe, it was a fantastic date night

Great service, great food, will be going back! The only downside - it was a hot evening in June - they definitely need to find a way to improve airflow and cool the place down a bit.

Good food, Hong Kong style. Good services

十分推介炒貴刁，河粉炒成的乾濕度，處理得很好。上枱，香氣撲鼻。

Dishes are Hong Kong styles and very good. Reminder, they accept cash only.

Absolutely incredible. We had the best range of vegan options we’ve ever had. Will definitely be coming back!

Great choice of food, and the service was excellent. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.

Food is fantastic. I stopped eating Chinese, Cantonese etc. Due to being unable to find any that wasn't served greasy, over seasoned or reheated. The food from here was freshly prepared, piping hot, not a pool of grease in sight and perfectly seasoned.

Very friendly staff and an exceptional vegan menu with vegan versions of a full range of traditional Chinese dishes.

Fantastic Hong Kong inspired menu that caters for all tastes. The vegan menu is extensive and everything is freshly prepared. Grace will greet you warmly and ensure you are well looked after. If you are looking for great food as authentic as possible then this is the place for you. I will be going back many times.

非常推介炒貴刁，辣度適中，河粉与香料的混炒，處理得洽到好處。西多士的外層，輕簿細緻，不油膩，脆中留軟，可見油溫和時間掌握得很好。Not easy to find that in Cardiff, Thanks In Cafe for being there.

Food was fantastic, staff were very welcoming. we had a lovely evening and a lot of laughs! I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends! We wish we could give more than 5* It was a great place to celebrate our friends win...

We came on a recommendation for a friends birthday and we’re not disappointed The food was fabulous and staff very friendly and accommodating We will definitely return and may also try their take away

It was one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to. I couldn’t ask for any more! the food was amazing, the staff were amazing and happy to give recommendations! Grace, particularly was very kind. All in all, great restaurant, good for family, not too...

The food is really delicious with Hong Kong styles. The staff is very nice and polite, definitely recommend to my friends!

Incredible choice for veggie and vegans. Simple setting. Amazing service. We were overwhelmed with choice. Delighted with all that we had - vegan chicken balls, crispy vegan beef, vegan chicken and satay. Delicious!

Probably the best Chinese food we have ever had, and and incredible vegan menu, easily as big as the average all dietary menu at most restaurants. Lovely atmosphere, and filled up early, even on a Monday evening, probably worth booking. Looks like a tiny average...

As always the food was magnificent and the service second to none, loved the music playing in the restaurant, could not fault it will eat here again.

Ordered a delivery - asked for light battered king prawns.. asked 3 times if prawns were lightly battered.. and they said yes but arrived heavily battered!?! Horrible!! They said delivery in 40 mins and took 1.5 hours. Only took cash 🤔 over priced and disappointed…...

A hidden gem - thank you for making my twin teens birthday meal special. Food was wonderful with so much choice, great service for large group of 9 and a lovely atmosphere. We really appreciate your extra effort and I have told everyone about you!

My wife and I had lunch today at the *in cafe* Hong Kong care in Cardiff. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and also the efficiency of service. I am a vegetarian and was offered a separate vegan menu . We had...
