We arrived having high expectations. These were exceeded. We recommend the halloumi tapas and the cucumber salad, in fact, it was all delicious! We received a warm and friendly welcome and attentive service. Will definitely return. Highly recommend you give this place a try.

We had the Valentines sharing platter. Absolutely delicious. So many lovely dishes from meets, noodles, steak, prawns, chicken. Will definitely return. The staff were welcoming, friendly attentive to our needs. The chef came to ask for feedback on the lovely food. It was such a warm welcoming environment with lovely music and staff smiling.

A fantastic lunch with superb sharing platters, including Vegan and Vegetarian platters, great service, friendly staff and excellent value. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend Shikaku to anyone who enjoys Asian Fusion food. If you have never tried this restaurant, and many of us hadn’t, then book now and be prepared for great food that’s full of flavour.

Went for bottomless brunch, fantastic choices on menu for both food and drinks. Food was all delicious, perfectly balanced and varied, would order every dish again. Drinks tasty and refreshing, extensive menu- was difficult to pick. Very attentive service but not intrusive. Would highly recommend.

Came along for a 40th birthday meal. There was a big group of us (22) but this didn’t affect anything. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic. Thank you. Will come again for sure!

Fantastic addition to the Carmarthen culinary scene. The menu is superb and very reasonably priced. Go for the chicken wings. Unreal. Lovely wine list too.

Lovely evening meal on the spur of the moment after trying a few times to book this well attended jewel. Staff were lovely and welcoming from the off with good guidance on dishes to make sure we wouldn't be hungry. Food was top notch and well priced and would definitely recommend to anyone who likes what they eat. No photos, too busy eating and chatting and drinking and chatting and tagging new cocktails and chatting. 11 out of 10, give Shikaku a try!

Had an absolutely fantastic meal tonight. I let the chef know I was Gluten Free in advance and he made me a special plate of Singapore noodles (rice noodles) just for me. Food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely return.

I have visited this place on numerous occasions and have had a fantastic time on each visit. Brilliant food, nowhere else like it in Carmarthen - right in the centre and offer a wide range of good wine and beer. Very reasonably priced, friendly staff and a must visit in my opinion!

It was a really lovely evening, I can't fault the food. The owner was really attentive and really looked after us with the meal to make sure we had a good time. I would recommend Shikaku for anyone looking for a good night out.

Food was well worth waiting for! Delicious and the taster menu was perfect. Drink service was a bit slow but once we realised it was the waitress' first evening, the banter was flowing. We will be back

Six family members shared the taster menu recommended by the boss. It was fantastic, probably the best restaurant experience in Carmarthen. Well done to you all.

Ate here last night, group of 10. What a fantastic night. Food is amazing, best meal I've had in Carmarthen. 2 of our group were vegetarian and they did them a platter each. Staff attentive but not intrusive especially the young man behind the bar. Thanks for a memorable evening.

Stopped by at Carmarthen for lunch as we were driving back home from our holiday. After reading what was on offer in the town, we thought to try this place. Ordered two set menus and the food was lovely. The owner was very hospitable and even told us the traffic (where we needed to go) could be horrendous at the afternoon. We were really grateful for his services. Thank you and good luck with your business adventure.

Service and food absolutely top drawer. Owner Ben, welcomed diolch bois me and served up a delicious medley of Peking Duck, sticky bee with fresh warm bao buns and chilli noodles - washed down with cold Asahi. Great ambience, very relaxed and good music in the background. I’ve lived all over Asia/China, and what I had tonight was as good as I’ve had anywhere. Highly recommended - I’ll be back next time I’m in South Wales..dioloch bois. James

We were on a table for two, when u each choose 3 or 4 of the small plates, all of which were good, some of which were simply devine, the table is just too small, added to that are your drinks and it's just too cramped to be able to enjoy the experience fully. If u were on one of the larger tables, get at least 4 small plates each...maybe a sneaky 5th plate and enjoy the variety of the experience

We've been lunching at The Warren for a good few years, typically 6 visits a year. Like many restaurants, prices keep rising but they face challenging times, especially with energy costs. Without exception the team members are great as is the food. The best thing is the menu gets a regular refresh, important when the choice is limited. I prefer a limited choice to an extensive one where food is mostly pre-prepared and warmed in a microwave. At The Warren, the food is always freshly cooked. Everyone we've taken has enjoyed their visit and always want to go back. Unfortunately my near-empty wallet has to ration these treats. Update March 2025 Just made our first visit for 2025 and what a disappointment. This is a review I never expected to write. After all our visits over the last decade, everything today was poor, including the food. I can only assume the business is suffering. Lots of changes! The first thing we noticed was the absence of table service. Now you have to find a table, order food and drinks from the bar and pay up-front. To be fair, the drinks and food are delivered to the table but I really don't like this arrangement in a restaurant. OK for McDonalds or a pub but not a restaurant! Next, the menu is pretty sparse, just soup for starters and a choice of three mains. There are snacks and a couple of "brunch" options, but nothing like the choice we had before. And no desserts. I used to love the sticky toffee pudding or chocolate brownies with Conti's ice cream but they've all disappeared. Just cakes from the bar, not even listed on the menu. It's turned into a self-service cafe! Then my meal. I ordered the Pork Open Sandwich. For £13 I got a few pieces of overcooked pork, dark brown and leathery, covered by what looked like melted cheese, The menu refers to "smoked rarebit". It arrived piping hot as if it had been prepared earlier and warmed up in a microwave. I know this sounds harsh but I've never had a bad meal in The Warren and everything used to arrive, freshly cooked and tasty. But not today. My wife's sausage, egg and friend mushrooms on sourdough was OK but nothing special. Deri cleared away our plates and asked if everything was OK. I felt I had to tell him it wasn't and that, after all the years of enjoyable visits, we wouldn't be coming back. Too much has changed, in our opinion, for the worse. We loved The Warren for the food, people, service and atmosphere. The people are still good, but a lot less of them and although the atmosphere is the same, the usual buzz was missing. But the most important part - the food - isn't as good as it was. As for service, that's now down to the customer! What a shame. We always took our visitors to The Warren and they all enjoyed it. And I've always voted for all the awards going. Alas no more. A sad day for Carmarthen as The Warren was a real gem.

We had a voucher from our kids to go and enjoy afternoon tea at the tearoom, which we got Christmas 2021. We rang to book (which is recommended) and looked forward to the experience. The drive up to the tearoom is very quaint, as it leads to a yard belonging to the farm house. Once inside we were greeted by a very friendly, laid back gentleman who made you feel at home right away. We enjoyed a complimentary prosecco (part of the Christmas afternoon tea) and enjoyed our surroundings. The sandwiches and cakes came beautifully presented and a quick explanation of what was on the table was kindly given. All the cakes, and pastries are homemade and they were absolutely scrumptious. The coffee was top class and refills was offered as well. I would gladly recommend you visit and enjoy the atmosphere and great food. You will not be disappointed.
