£20 Minimum Charge Per Person for dine in. Disappointing Experience It was a rainy day, and we were thankful to find a seat inside. We were hoping to enjoy some appetizers and soup, but to our surprise, we were told that there is a £20 minimum per person charge to dine in. Since we didn’t plan to spend that much, we were asked to leave the table and order takeaway instead. It felt quite rude, and we were rushed out, leaving us disappointed with the service. Not a welcoming experience at all.

Ordered meal for 4, with extras. Lovely spare ribs and vegetable spring rolls, no flavour in lettuce wrap. Peking duck was lovely. King prawn main had no flavour, rice was bland, sweet and sour was nice and crispy chicken. Beef with oyster sauce was salty and chewy. Was average. Service was nothing to write home about, my mum was partially sighted and light wasn't good but couldn't move a table as they had already been allocated, really??? Pretty expensive for average food, won't be running back.

Food quite expensive for what it was. Lots of dishes like lettuce wrap, king prawns in ginger and spring onion, beef in oyster sauce pretty bland and without flavour. Service below average and zero atmosphere.

We have been going here 25 years for special occasions 2/3 times year, the food and service is usually very good. However during our last visit we were seated at a table in a dark alcove we had booked this for a birthday treat 2 months in advance & we asked to move, have to say we were eventually moved after we stood our ground, but found the staff to be unhelpful which spoilt the atmosphere. We also noticed portion seemed smaller too. Such a pity

Despite the restaurant being full, the service was prompt. All of us enjoyed our meal. In fact, we went for sharing a set menu which worked out really well. There was plenty of food, good variety. I have a food intolerance which I thought would scupper our plans. But the waiter came up with an excellent idea to circumvent this, so it was smiles all round. I would really recommend booking because the place was full when we went on a Thursday, and from what I can tell, it is always busy. If you don't want a set menu, by the way, there was plenty of choice on the rest of the menu.

Great restaurant, I've eaten in 3 times and had takeaway countless times now. The service has always been great when I've sat in, and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is nicely decorated and always feels great to sit in. The food has never once been bad, and always comes completely as described. Definitely my favourite Chinese restaurant.

Ordered take away. Place was very busy with lots of diners inside and lots of take out orders stacked. Was informed take out would be 70 minutes which was expected as they are always backed up on take outs. Collected food on time. Food was warm, not piping hot but hot enough to eat. Potions ok but less than I normally receive from take outs with fewer ribs and less meat in a main. Otherwise standard amounts. Food very bland and unseasoned hence low score. Tasted poor or no taste. Not enough seasoning or spices. Satay sauce watery. Meat and veg overcooked. No crunch to bean sprouts or vegetables. Meat limp and soggy feeling. Prawn crackers had no seasoning either and were plain. Above average price for Chinese take out. We won’t be returning again and will stick to normal Chinese take out in Pontcanna.

Had a birthday meal with six people last night in the Summer Palace, and it was by far the best Chinese food I've had in years and probably the best meal in general I've had all year. The food was very well cooked. For starters, the standout dishes in particular were the salt and pepper ribs, which where crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside, and the mongolian crispy lamb, which tasted great. For mains, we were particularly impressed by the sichuan dishes, the Ma Po Tofu and the sweet and sour dishes and the three stuffed delicacies. The service was excellent, and the even brought a bit of ice cream over for the birthday boy. Absolutely brilliant, and will come again.

Sadly not what is used to be..... Food is incredible, but the service is by far the worst I have received. Table booked for 19:00, food ordered at 19:20, starters finally arrived at 20:15 later followed by food at 21:20. It seems as though take away orders take first priority and those orders were flying out the door whilst diners in the restarant did and wait hours. The food here is delicious, but the wait is not worth it.

We visited this Cantonese restaurant for a family birthday celebration, there were 6 of us. This was our first time at the Summer Palace. Not a very big restaurant and it is essential to book in advance. Lovely old building close to the Cathedral. We ordered quite a large selection of meals and sides and there was nothing left by the time we finished. Every dish was just right, good portion sizes and very tasty. Service was quick and staff polite and attentive. Nothing at all to complain about and we will definitely return.

We have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years for special occasions. Booked a table months in advance for my birthday. On arrival there was some confusion over the booking luckily I had a confirmation text from the restaurant when I booked. Eventually got seated at a table but unfortunately the table was right at the back almost in an Anex that felt like an add on. My husband asked to be moved explaining it was special occasion the waitress was not very accommodating & said there were no more tables & shrugged which felt like tough ! We were eventually given another table & the rest of the evening was very nice along the the food. I feel the layout downstairs is not suitable a larger group seemed to be crammed in plus the tables for two lack space I don’t understand why the upstairs area isn't used & the downstairs area used for takeout they takeaway was really busy.

The vibe and service was really good. We didn't have a reservation so we were lucky to have gotten a seat. The food was decently portioned and good for the price. However the restaurant loses a star for the absolute mess of fried rice. It was rice for £3. The Chicken curry sauce was also very grainy like it was made from a can. Overall good! But a little overhyped in my opinion.

I was surprised how small the restaurant was, but the atmosphere is good and environment modern. The menu is quite extensive and has different options I hadn't seen before - I had a spicy lamb number which was real. Although in Wales these were real Yorkshire portions ( i.e large)! However the quality was excellent the prawn toasts were quite sumptuous and the lamb succulent. Worth a visit.

Personally, I believe this is the best Chinese restaurant in Cardiff. The food is authentic and tastes fantastic.

The prices are reasonable, the service is quick but not forced so you never feel rushed. I can't recommend the summer palace highly enough. 👍

Nice food but a very poor welcome. Booked a week in advance. No welcome but told as soon as we arrived that the table had to be vacated by 8pm. Then placed in a dark corner next to the take away counter. Asked if there was an alternative and told "no". An adjoining table, in a more open position, had been laid for two and stayed unused for some time. Most disappointing.

Poor customer service where after collecting a food order which was confirmed upon ringing through i found out a main meal was missing. When I rang through to enquire why it hadn’t been presented. I was advised to come back and collect it if still wanted which meant navigating back through rush hour traffic and the remainder of my partial order going cold in my car. I declined this option and they terminated the call. No offer of credit or delivery of food. Terrible service.

First time trying this restaurant as it always have been on my list and it has good ratings. It was quite disappointed. Basically it is not authentic Chinese food. This is the first time I had a sweet Mapo tofu rather than spicy and numb as what Mapo tofu is. Asked for some chilli oil to make the tofu more spicy and being charged £1.50 for the a small sauce plate of chilli oil! This is the first time in my life being charged £1.50 in a Chinese restaurant for condiment. Basically you are being charged for £1.50 for a ketchup. The baseline is there are other Chinese restaurant that offer more authentic food and cheaper.

Went to Summer Palace twice within a week for two different occasions, one being a big group meal. Summer Palace is really popular and I feel you'd be unlikely to find a table just by turning up (they do offer a takeaway service though which also appears to be popular). Must say the food is very tasty, well portioned and all come out quickly. Over my two visits I've sampled a good selection from the menu and all dishes have been of a good quality. Salt and chilli squid, chilli beef and their King Prawn dishes have been particularly tasty. The waiters and waitresses are all very polite and attentive, and the restaurant itself is nice and cosy without feeling cramped ... no matter the size of your group. Must say that Summer Palace is one of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to in a while, and I would thoroughly recommend visiting it.

Very popular on a mid week. I did not book and was " lucky " to get a table for one after promising not to be longer than an hour. Staff were very busy. Menu was a huge choice. The place is quite small and seems to curl around the outside of the property. The tables are close together so it's a little noisey with everyone talking at the same time. The staff were polite whilst appearing to be a little flustered. The food was ok, nothing wrong with it but nothing special to write about either. Maybe all the other people filling the place saw something I didn't. I'll be back ,maybe.

My friends ordered a portion of fried rice and a sauce to go with it. However, I think they could have avoided ordering so much and the rice and noodles portion would have been shared. The place was crowded as I thought it won't be. Looked like a popular place. Would recommend it.

***Gluten free friendly Chinese *** Summer Palace in Llandaff can cater for gluten and dairy free!!!! Hallelujah!! I found out by a random post by them through the first lockdown and my god am I chuffed I did! They're collection only but it's well worth it! They do recommend ordering 24hrs in advance for collection to ensure no disappointment. They are a sit down restaurant in the beautiful village of llandaff and just looking at the stunning building it is in! I've not managed to enjoy a sit down meal there as yet BUT I will soon! One major plus point for me is that I'm not left with that stodgy greasy feeling I remember from some Chinese take aways I used to visit. I've had lemon chicken, sweet and sour Cantonese style and special fried rice all of which have been safe and absolutely stunning. To just be able to enjoy the beautiful authentic Chinese flavours without feeling any guilt whatsoever or worried about stomach issues after is just amazing! I really cannot sing their praises any more! If you've not visited them yet, make sure it's your take away option for this weekend! I've recommended here to so many gluten intolerant and coeliacs and all have given glowing feedback!

Visit was to celebrate my mothers 95th birthday. We waited an hour for first course whilst staff concentrated on serving and supplying take away customers. I have dined at the restaurant many times before and had excellent food and service thus the choice of this venue for the celebratory meal. I was extremely disappointed for the poor service, food lacked taste, the pork was tough and tasteless the noodles were dried out. I did not complain as it was a celebration and did not wish to make a fuss, normally I would have addressed these issues. There was no acknowledgement of my mothers 95 years despite my mentioning it on booking. I would have to think seriously about returning.

I was looking forward to this takeaway for a long time but I found it to be disappointing. The pancake rolls aren't very nice, they lack flavour and dont taste or look restaurant made. The prawn crackers are very good as are the sweet and sour chicken balls. I prefer swapping my sweet and sour sauce for bbq sauce but they told me they dont sell bbq sauce?? So they suggested peking sauce which they wouldn't swap, I had to pay an extra £1.65. (They still gave me the sweet and sour sauce?) When eating the meal, they either gave me 2 sweet and sour sauces or the Peking sauce tasted the same...... so I had no sauce at all to go with my food. The yung chow fried rice was tasteless and was boiled more than fried, the beansprouts were also tasteless and together they looked anemic and tasted bland. See picture. It was also expensive. 7.25 for chicken balls! .... they also told me they only sell rice in one size carton which is large, they are not, they are the small size so not enough to share. I had to finish off my rice with sesame oil and soya sauce due to the blandness. Doubt I'll eat there again.

Enjoyed but slightly underwhelmed as ribs rather fruity and duck had thick fatty skin.

Only used the take away service, but despite the good things I have heard I was not that impressed. Duck was so overcooked it could not be shredded and the pork was so tough as to be inedible.

点了海盐奶绿 选了微糖(甜度25%)奶茶根本没有摇匀 导致上半杯的味道淡得只有发苦的茶味 下半杯芝士味浓得发腻 且有未化开的颗粒 不是一次很好的品尝体验

Stopped for dim sum and was really pleased with the food. Really authentic and great selection. Great news to have something like this available for lunch.

Ordered veg spring rolls, Singapore chowmein and tofu satay for collection. Quantity of both were good. Spring rolls were out of a frozen box they sell in any supermarket Chowmein were edible but they added frozen vegetables in it instead of fresh ones Tofu satay had pineapple chunks in it and way too sweet for our liking. Our fav Chinese place closed down so this was our attempt at trying a new place. Very disappointed and won’t be ordering again. It’s no where near an authentic Chinese food.
