River View Chinese Restaurant in The Vale of Glamorgan

Ordered food other people came and went with their food still sat there for a further 20 mins. Would love to say it was worth the wait but far from it. 1st and last time very disapointing

If i could put zero star i would, ordered meal at 5pm to collect at 7pm, waited 45 minuits no food, other people ordered within 20 mins and got their food. Very bad organised managment/chef.

First and last time for us. Special fried rice was not fried like a boiled mess, not much meat. Chow mein was dry no beansprouts just greasy noodles. Spare ribs sauce wasn't great meat was dry. Attempted to be cooked by someone who cant cook. I feel ripped off. The only plus was the complimentary prawn crackers.

Mostly used for takeaways but there is a lovely restaurant upstairs with great food & service. Don't overlook those restaurant for an evening meal in Cowbridge. All our dishes were excellent.

Food was lovely tasted very fresh. Different from usual Chinese because the veg tasted freshly done. Don't feel horrible after eating it like some other places. Recommend!

Had a wonderful meal lady working there showed me how she wraped the napkins good fun will return best ive ever had

Can't comment on food or service as closed when phone rings, but not open. Drove to restaurant to order only to discover that they are closed. Google times says open, awful service.

I love this chinese restaurant yes they arnt getting much business and it's not there fault they are really kind staff and they are trying there best I love there chow mein especially the beef and the chicken balls and sour dip is wonderfull I go here every day and I just love the kindness and the environment in the summer its nice to sit on the bridge listening to the birds or sitting inside looking at the fish tanks please come here guys I would recommend ive tried the curry and I find it Ok i don't know why people say its bad because its not the best time is the evening I like the most as it mainly quiet the price isn't bad but dose sometimes a pain but I know why they put it high because they don't get enough business and the people in cowbridge don't go here alot it's quite sad how they are missing out on a delicious meal thank you river view chinese

Heating broken. Restaurant took our booking but utterly failed to say they had no heating tonight. Simply too cold to eat here so we upped sticks and left. Suggest you all check if booking for the next few weeks, whether they have heat! Wasted our time!

Thought I'd give this place a second chance,still the worst chicken curry I've ever tasted sloppy pre boiled chicken, the cheapest green salty curry sauce, hardly any onion 2 button mushrooms absolutely disgusting never again, beef in black bean sauce was like eating oversalted leather and tiny portion of that.

Had a delivery and in fairness great foo yung but the worst tasting Chinese chicken curry I have ever tasted extremely salty and a real strange unappealing colour also sweet and sour pork comes saturated in the sauce which makes the batter sickly and soft.

Absolutely shocking, the service was one of the worst and they kept on mixing up our food. Plus the food was terrible. NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN

The worse Chinese I have ever had Most of it (£24 worth) Went in the bin.👎

Friday night take away...Outstanding tonight. Crispy beef, Satay Chicken, Chicken chow mein and sweet and sour house special.. Fried rice and some chips...Well made, nice and hot and very tasty.

Had appalling service yesterday. Ceri is so rude. When the food eventually turned up it was awful. The rice was like easy cook rice, the Aldi 45p sort, and the duck tasted like loofah. Truly awful.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant and it definitely won't be our last. The place was clean and welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant experience, even entertaining our three year old and really making her feel like the most important part of their evening. We went with the buffet option and all the food was tasty and brought out fresh and at no point were we waiting for service. I really can't recommend this place enough. If the staff do read these comments then I'd like to say a huge thank you to them. You were fab and your restaurant is wonderful. We look forward to visiting again

A lovely Chinese Restaurant serving scrumptious first class food. Meat and vegetables are really tender. I had the Beef with Cashew Nuts and Noodles, which was superb. The China Tea was certainly different to what I usually drink, but it was nice. Lovely furnishings too.

Been coming here a while now , the lady that is on front of house is lovely and very accommodating, and the food is beautiful , we’ll done from Alex Kay Alannah Oliver and Kendall

Always great size portions, very tasty food

The food was absolutely amazing would highly recommend a visit.Best Chinese I’ve been to. Top marks to the chef and the all the staff who made you feel very welcome. Will defo go again.

Great thanks Hank and Kerry . Wine also brilliant

Lovely service and a quality meal, would recommend.

Amazing service, amazing food! Short notice visit for a party of 12. Staff were very friendly and served up an unreal meal for all of us. Highly recommended for anyone!

Amazing would highly recommend, staff are wonderful. Definitely a 5 star

Lovely food 😋 The woman that was serving us that evening was amazing nothing was a trouble for her, We all left happy 😊

Delicious food and environment.

First time visitor to Riverview. Service and the food were both first class. Will be returning.

Very disapointing, prawn toasts overcooked and inedible, singapore chow mien just noodles, chicken and mushrooms all mushrooms very little chicken. Praw crackers free and fine.

Great food and great delivery service. The food was really tasty and very enjoyable.

So, called at 7pm said "we can get food to you at 8pm" fine, we know times are different. 812, nothing. Called, said they we're on their way 0845. Food turned up, sorry, we've been busy......food wasn't all that great and turned up cold. Not for me.

gave us the wrong order and denied it. refused to give any refund and spoke quite rudely to us.

Ordered from here first time ever tonight. Last time too it was bloody awful. Small portions, hot and sour soup wasn't hot or sour. Rice bland, spicy veg ridiculously oily and generally bland. Go to Jade garden in Talbot Green instead (when it opens again)

Great food, very pleasant staff 😊

Put you on hold, never come back. Happened multiple times.

Fantastic food great service definitely recommend

The food was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend. Best Chinese I’ve been to. Top marks to the chef hank and the staff, made you feel very welcome. Will defo go again.

Delicious freshly cooked food. Lovely attentive waitress.

Dont ask for a fried rice as no matter how much you explain you'll get a boiled rice. Authentic fried rice isn't what you deliver sorry. Last time i order Rogers from Llantwit is a true chinese

Love this place, food is amazing and staff always welcoming

The best Chinese I have tasted, I'm not a fan but this place was incredible so much choice. Freindly and welcoming. Fantastic with children as well. We travel from Cardiff just to try this restrant and will definitely be eating hear again. Thank you all

I have never been here before and had a invitation and myself and family had the most enjoyable evening food was cooked from fresh outstanding , staff very welcoming top marks to the chefs would definitely return and highly recommend to give them a try

Excellent, unpretentious Chinese with lovely fresh food, and friendly, attentive staff. Inexpensive too.

Not as good as it used to be Food is nice not excellent, clean place and in a nice location little expensive for what it is.

Great food and fantastic service!

The food was excellent as was the service! Great value menu from the new owner!

Front of house a bit grumpy, food average

A great place for dinner with a cozy atmosphere, great service and decent prices. Would definitely recommend this.

It was excellent, everything cooked there and then, good service, pleasant surroundings, a good evening.

Lovely view, lovely service and lovely food too!

These guys are a rip off they will charge you £20 where everywhere else will only charge you £8.50

Really eye catching meals and tasted fantastic

Always a good takeaway, not pricey but find the food very good

Disgusted with this restaurant. I have been ordering Chinese from them for years and tonight they would not let me pay by card over the phone, which they always used to do. Said I had to collect it, they would not deliver without cash on delivery but I could pay by card if I collected it. What's the difference!!!

Food was ok. However service and arrival of food in a timely fashion could be better. It was the little things like 10 mins from a main course arriving to the accompanying rice turning up that dropped the stars

Excellent chinese meals and good service. Has a balcony and you can eat outside on a nice day or on the little 'patio' by the front door.

Somethings changed here over the last few months... Customer service is virtually non existent and the food is distinctly average.have tried to give them another go a few times but this place is definitely not what it used to be! Give it a miss next time...

Food is always fab but very disappointed that the food hygiene rating has dropped to a 3

Wonderful Food and a very fast delivery service. Takeaway delivery is fast and food is alway warm. Also a very helpful and friendly delivery driver.

Good quality food and lovely service

Lovely place to eat, staff are nice.

Good takeaway food, sit down options also looked great. Food was nice and quick friendly service.

Friendly staff, delicious food. Satay chicken main is the nicest I've tasted! Highly recommend

Best Chinese in the area. Great food and lovely people. I have used many,many times and have never been disappointed.

We love everything on their menu. My son always enjoys their skewered chicken, recently, ventured more and more dishes on their menu, Cantonese ribs, lettuce wrap, and even squid! The staff are warm and friendly. They make us feel so welcoming very time we go
