Shikaku Asian Fusion & Wine Bar in Carmarthenshire

A little disappointed on our first visit, which was 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. But to be fair I will return at a different time to try again to see if that’s just one of those days. Food was ok, warm, not hot, but sadly served on cold plates. Service was a little hap hazard. Potions not huge but what we had were tasty but for me could have been a bit hotter .

was very excited to come here for a hong kong inspired taster menu, was left feeling rather deflated after the experience. upon arrival, quickly given welcome drink and shown to our table. lady did come up to table soon after to see if we wanted additional drinks. these did not take very long to arrive however two of us ordered pepsi max was which was just soda water when it arrived. brought this to the attention of the waitress who apologised and said “it had been doing that all day” … it confused me why they were still serving a drink they knew was not right and had not fixed. Asked for a lemonade as a replacement which took almost half an hour to arrive. The tasting menu was supposed to start at 7pm but this was rather delayed as we had to wait for one table of two to turn up. the food itself i was not blown away by. we could only majorly compliment the duck. the deserts looked and tasted like a iceland frozen party range deserts. when we went to pay we were met with a dead pan individual who tried to challenge when i said i would not be paying for the pepsi max’s on the bill as they were just soda water, she advised i had drink most of it which was because i was parched waiting so long for my replacement drink. I thanked them as we left and received the most sarcastic grin in return. dont think we will be back here.

Ordered two cocktails, a bottle of wine and water for the table. I never received my cocktail but as the wine was nice I decided not to bother. Also did not receive the water and had to ask again later. I item on the menu was not available and an alternative was offered to two diners, after a wait we were told only one alternative was available. I did question why the lack of availability as it was only Thursday and they were only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The waitress was quite curt, telling me they had a table of 14 and they’d ordered a lot of food. When the duck dish was served we were told there was extra duck. When they brought the last dish I asked where the pancakes for the duck were, the waitress brusquely informed me that they didn’t have any pancakes that’s why there was extra duck. The food was good, although the noodles were not hot. The cardboard boxes on the floor behind the chair was not a good look.

I was really looking forward to this after hearing good things but it wasn’t cheap and we left hungry… They didn’t have a lot of things available from the menu, which was really disappointing.

Been a number of times now and every time without exception the food is excellent. Ben and his team are excellent and very attentive and nothing is too much. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning food! Highly recommend the food here! SO tasty. Did the taster menu and tried things I would never normally order and loved it all!!!! Thank you

After hearing so many excellent things about this restaurant, we managed to get a booking. So worth the wait. The cocktails we amazing. The meals were stunning. By far the best Chinese style food i have ever had. The service was faultless. An excellent night out- highly recommend

While finishing our meal a rat run from under our table and across the restaurant floor. A really scary experience. Apart from the rat problem the food was enjoyable. The staff were not very supirsed or reactive when informed about the rodent running in the restaurant. Will not return unfortunately

Excellent meal, excellent staff. Could not ask for better. Beautiful food. Well worth the visit. Will visit again.

Exceptional Asian Food, great service, would highly recommend. The duck was delicious. This compares to the best asian food I had in Dubai for a fraction of the cost. Will definitely visit again!
