Sushi Life in Cardiff

Yesterday 8.09.2024 I’ve ordered UBER EATS delivery for salmon Maki and Pad Thai from this sushi restaurant which turn out for me as food poisoning. I have severe pain in my stomach and diarrhea. I have been vomiting all night every one hour until 9 AM. Oh day I’m laying in the bed with a strong pain in the stomach and diarrhea going on. I’m going to GP tomorrow as I feel like I have a wound instead of my stomach now and I’ll claim the accident to the certain authorities with a complaint to this place. Previously. I’ve been ordering food from this place but this time I’ve got poisoned with them.

I don't think so there are any words I could describe the experience I have in this lovely restaurant. I am coming from far just to have a lovely dinner for weekend. The stuff are so friendly, and the food is so good (I think they have a 1 star Michelin chef👨‍🍳 ) otherwise I can't explain how the food is so good for a fair price. I would recommend to everyone just booked themselves 1 dinner then they will make it as a regular thing . Thank you !😉

Incredible food and lovely staff.

I recently dined here for my birthday and it was an exceptional experience! The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, with each piece of sushi crafted to perfection. The menu offered a wide variety of options, ensuring there was something for everyone. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were attentive to our needs. I highly recommen for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality sushi in a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning soon!

I love this place, service is always excellent. I had a takeaway and took it to the park to eat in the sunshine. It was so good.

The best sushi in the UK, the extra attention to detail is amazing. The taste and quality of the food has not changed in the last 10 years .

My second visit to Sushi Life! Ordered the sushi platter with a wide variety of sushi, katsu curry and fried gyoza’s. Food came promptly! Staff were really accommodating as I didn’t have a table booked but they managed to squeezed us in! Food was delicious would definitely recommend! Planning my next visit already. Things to note chicken and beef halal, some gyoza’s are not halal and I’d double check with staff which other items are not. Staff are knowledgeable about the menu.

Food were okay. OH MY GOD! The staff here were very rude as they kept asking us to leave even though we have 30 more minutes for the table we reserved. There was no one else there except us which, I find it hard to understand the rush. They also did not take walk-in customers with the reason that the place is fully booked (I was there for almost two hours and there were many empty tables). Judging by the way we were served, I believe they cant handle too many customers at a time. To the owner of Sushi Life, PLEASE hire staff with better attitude. They badmouthed us and we heard it clearly. Frankly speaking, I would prefer bad food from other sushi place rather than the service provided by this place.

Nice sushi and the best sashimi in Cardiff with no doubt (we ordered tuna), but unfortunately plum wine is run out :(. However, the service is so bad compares to the food. The waitress never check on us for the entire time ,we have to wait for a long time to get whatever, like you could tell that you been treated different.

Ramim has done very good customer service. I really appreciate that.

I am touched. I have enjoyed a lot of sushi in many different places. Never did I think Cardiff would have some of the best sushi. This place is phenomenal. Sashimi platter and a couple of your favourite maki. Amazing. Thank you.

Usually I love sushi life but must say I’ve very disappointed I ordered chicken katsu for delivery and when it arrived the katsu curry sauce was more like a dip less than half the amount usually given which made the food taste so dry.

No one here speaks Japanese and they have no idea of what udon is. I ended up with a stir fry with udon noodles that I make at home for a lot cheaper instead of udon in a dashi broth. The place was tiny and there wasn't even room to walk. Tables were about 3 foot apart including chairs. Won't go again if a Japanese person like myself who isn't British born went there they would have walked straight back out.

Wide selection of tasty dishes. I went with several vegans who had plenty of options to choose from. We all enjoyed various dishes we tried.

I want to share my impressions of visiting this restaurant. For the first time we decided to celebrate my birthday here and since then we can say that we have become fans of this place. Incredibly delicious rolls, in my opinion, the best in Cardiff! Very nice and polite staff. The hall and toilet are clean. The only negative is that you need to reserve a table in advance, but if you don’t have time, you can always order for takeaway.

Best place for sushi in Cardiff, very friendly and professional service. Highly recommend.

Went to Sushi Life a few weeks ago and these were the best noodles i tasted better than any at a chinese takeaway.I had chicken noodle stir fry.It was so flavorsome and perfectly cooked.I would reccomend that you book a table as its open in the evening and is very popular.The service was really nice and the staff were really kind.I also reccomend you try the strawberry cheescake and mango ice cream mochi.(:

I would give my life to this sushi

Food is fantastic and service incredibly attentive and quick !

Good vibe, food quality is above average, therefore the prices are more than fair. Service was top-notch, food came fast, and the waitresses were available at all times. Have been here a few times already, and every time, I enjoyed my meal and left with a good impression.

It is the first time I went to Cardiff and decided to try Sushi Life. The restaurant is nice with warm welcoming. The sushi is absolutely delicious but the ramen can be better.

Super fresh sushi, with a huge variety. Tried some things for the first time here and they didn't dissapoint.

Outstanding quality using fresh produce. Good service but stay open later, guys!

Excellent sushi and gyoza :) they listed to my request to have the rolls without cucumber, so much appreciated

Sushi life wellfield road is amazing! Food is always exceptional. Such a lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Easily our favourite restaurant in cardiff!

The atmosphere was lovely, music wasn’t too loud and lovely lighting. The menu was large and we had loads of choice. The waitresses were so lovely and attentive. The food came so quickly and it was so delicious, we had the green dragon rolls, hell in the kitchen rolls and some rice paper rolls and all were so fresh and tasty. Well recommend!

Best sushi I've tried in Cardiff, great vegan options, lovely atmosphere. Recommended the Tokyo Platter and tofu starter.

Thank you everyone at Sushi Life !!🧡I brought my daughter and family to celebrate her birthday last night. Lovely atmosphere and no pressure to order as presents were opened... instead you gave us complementory drinks! 🥰The food was delicious as always! 😋All staff are friendly, attentive and helpful, which lead to trying some plum wine as we finished our meal too!👌😊 No request was too much, resulting in a candle lit 'happy birthday' sweet to surprise my daughter at the end. Thank you guys. You made our evening extra special...we will be back x.

Amazing sushi. Also had the cha Han which was spicy and lovely. Hoping to have the noodles next time.

A great find - we were looking for Japanese in Cardiff for a 20th birthday and couldn't have been happier. Excellent food, freshly cooked, and very friendly atmosphere - good value too. Deserves to do well.

We can’t recommend this wonderful little restaurant enough. Everything, the atmosphere, the staff and the food is excellent. We visited with a 13 year old and a 10 year old who state it’s the best Japanese food they have ever eaten (and they have eaten a lot!). Make sure you book - it’s very popular.

Absolutely brilliant Japanese sushi. Freshly made, very well presented. Very attentive staff.

We walked in with no reservations but staff was still very accommodating and thoroughly checked that he can accommodate us. Food was great as always. The manager kept on checking that everything is OK and that we enjoy our meal the best way we can, even for our take away meal.

Delicious authentic Japanese food, wonderful sushi highly recommend for dining or takeaway

Dropped into the empty restaurant for a table for 2, was told they had a table that they'd have to have back in 1 hour. Got given menus and a few minutes later asked for our drinks order, they only had a white wine that was available by the bottle and we were discouraged from ordering that because we had such little time to drink it. Food was good, but the waitress came over to clear plates while we were still eating. We were out in 45 minutes, having paid a £50 bill. We left a mostly empty restaurant and will not bother them again.

Phenomenal food. A little on the pricey side but definitely worth it. Presentation is fantastic too

Best sushi in Cardiff. Fast service, high quality, absolutely amazing.

I'd never had great experiences with sushi over the years, so it wasn't something I'd gravitate towards. However, I attended a party where there were platters from Sushi Life and every mouthful was delicious! We were at a loss for something to eat tonight and Sushi Life came to mind! Ordered a fantastic Toyko platter. Really good!

Small, vibrant, busy restaurant. Always busy with take outs too. Very helpful, friendly staff. And always amazing food!

Our second visit, excellent food and service, we will definitely visit again!!

Amazing meal out at sushi life, such a good range of options on the menu, everyone found something they like, from grandparents to toddlers. We tried sushi, noodles, rice and appetizers. Everything was delicious and in large enough portions to share around. Really reasonable prices, friendly and helpful staff. It's rather small, with a quiet and relaxing atmosphere but that adds to its charm. Would definitely visit again.

A must up if you love sushi and live in Cardiff

Le genre de restaurant où on aime revenir car l'accueil et les plats sont succulents, la variété des saveurs nous laisse pantois

One of the best sushi places in Cardiff. restaurant is modern, very clean and delicious food, good service and welcoming staff. They deliver on Uber Eats, food arrived timely and in a good condition. Manhattan roll is my favorite. Teriyaki beef also great. The only problem is that they open late around 5 pm

Sushi Life is highly deserving of its 5 star rating. Best sushi I have had in 5+ years, ranks up there with some of the sushi I’ve had in Tokyo and NYC. Staff was on point and accommodated my sons special requests of boiled tofu. Really my dinner at Sushi Life was the highlight of my stay in Cardiff…

A highly recommended sushi restaurant, nestled in an upscaled Cardiff location

Always better than alright. Like phenomenal. Fresh fast quality well priced. Lovely and clean. Friendly and efficient. Cannot recommend highly enough. Issue is they only take cash tip and I ALWAYS forget to have cash on me 😭😭😭. They deserve it. Make sure you visit regularly. Real gem!

Great value for money, food was really good and the staff were super nice

Absolutely amazing food. Tried several things on the menu, each more mouth watering than the last. Very cosy and friendly atmosphere. Service with a smile! Highly recommend

Service was excellent, food was prompt and delicious (and hot, for the dishes that should be hot)... Love the presentation on the bridge! Only part I wasn't sure about - the choice of music

Superb food, lovely atmosphere and great service. This is the best sushi restaurant I've ever been too. Quality food and hearty portion sizes. I'll be returning again. Highly recommended.

Amazing. Full review to come when I've finished smiling. :)

Decided to get delivery from here tonight, brilliant decision! Amazing sushi and it was all hot and felt fresh when it arrived. We ordered beef soba, green dragon maki roll and takoyaki and it was some of the best sushi I've had in a while! We're very lucky in Cardiff with good Japanese food and this is another gem - very glad it's on Uber eats as it'll be my go to now. Looking forward to trying more.

Just ordered on Uber eats the best sushi I’m obsessed it’s so good and full of flavour 10/10!! 😍😍 highly recommended

Pretty decent sushi, ramen and fried rice/noodle dishes not great

Best sushi around. Highly recommended, great food, great service, great atmosphere!

Absolutely amazing ! The food was incredible and such good value for money - knocks Ivy Asia completely out the water !

We arrived just as they opened but it filled up really quickly. Very popular place. Nice place with a lovely relaxed vibe. Very clean restaurant. We had the chicken skewers and crab to start which were divine. So good. Then hosomaki, inari and nigiri. All well made, fresh and just beautiful. Really well priced food with lots of choice. It was our first sushi restaurant and my young son loved it. He's already planning the next trip. No parking but we parked in the library car park at Roath Park and it was a 4 minute walk. We had a lovely stroll round the park first and then stuffed our faces on delicious sushi. We then went to Joe's ice-cream shop on the way back to the car - perfect evening !

Fabulous food. Amazing staff. Excellent prices. Really impressed with this place. Will be back again soon.

Great food and lovely presentation. There is a lot to chose from, I think everyone will find something they like in here. Not a lot of choice for dessert, but the mochi tastes amazing.

an amazing place for fresh sushi, we always love the food here, be it takeout or dining in, always top notch and recommended. advisable to book if you want a table 😁👍👍

Not very welcoming, food lame, overcooked sushi rice, no crunch or punch in dragon maki (more of a Californian roll with extra salmon on top), planned to order a few more dishes but left after the dragon maki. Poor soft drink options

Staff nice and professional. Food was unreal. Not the most budget friendly for how much food you get but quality of food makes it worth it.

Stunning food, reasonably priced and great service! Will definitely be back to try the other dishes.

We get a takeaway from Sushi Life around once a month and came to eat in today. Absolutely wonderful service, food was amazing as usual, never disappointed! Hands down, our favourite sushi restaurant in Cardiff and will definitely try to eat in more often.

What a place!!!! Very polite gentleman greeted us at the door. Delicious food, outstanding service. Well done Sushi Life ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic food and service as always - would highly recommend. Staff were very quick to offer drinks and bring food. Beautifully presented food that tasted amazing

Best sushi in Cardiff. A rather small restaurant. Had dinner here on Sunday night. Due to the size- recommend Booking ahead. We opted for the platter of 24 piece of 6 types as we didn’t have to make too many decisions as the menu was extensive. Beautifully presented dish. Meals came quickly and service was good. All excellent sushi’s and great value for money as paid £15 per person which was very good value. Will be back.

The Tokyo sushi platter was absolutely delicious! And excellent service from our lovely waitress Ellie 🙂

Food was delicious, came super quick, service was excellent. Ellie and the gentleman who served was very friendly and wonderful.

A small and busy restaurant with lovely decor and large windows. We came at 8pm and were seated and served our drinks promptly, the service was fantastic with both of our servers being very attentive and friendly. Our order came within about 15 minutes and everything was delicious. This is the third time we’ve been to sushi life and we really have no complaints from any of our visits, in fact it seems to keep getting better. Thanks guys for a lovely evening!

Sushi very average and they forgot my husbands meal so it kind of ruined the evening . In fairness they did not charge us. The gyozas were not great very overcooked.

stunning!!! 12/10 amazing, good service the staff were lovely and kind!! food was really good super yummy will 100% going again

I am usually a big fan of sushi life but it definitely came up short last night. I arrived before friends who were running late and waited close to 30 mins on my ow without even the offer of a drink. When we finally ordered...

Great sushi experience in a small and local restaurant. Great atmosphere, good service, tasty food, reasonably priced!

Lovely platter, fast efficient friendly service

This restaurant was recommended so we had to try it. We were not disappointed. Service was first class and the suggested dishes were spot on. Dragon Platter ✔️

We both got really sick after our cha Han , my friend has an allergy to gluten and she was so ill afterwards . The sushi was great but maybe don't get the cha han

even though I usually order on uber eats (the food is still incredible) I recently visited the restaurant and it was amazing. Nice cozy setting with friendly staff and amazing food. was a very nice experience all round!

Very helpful staff who explained all the dishes to us as it was our first time trying sushi. Really enjoyed the food, the presentation was beautiful.

Sushi Life seemed to be the perfect blend between a large, professional and delicious restaurant and a smaller, more cosy eatery. The atmosphere was great, food delicious and prices completely reasonable. What more could you ask for? Fantastic.

Great delicious food, great service

I have been here many times and always loving their food🫶🏻

Very nice Sushi. Well worth a visit if that's your sort of thing.

Great service, well made tasty food, attentive staff, will rectify mistakes swiftly. The online menu can be a problem at times though. Sometimes it vanishes before you've had a chance to peruse it.

VERY TASTY!! the plum wine was delicious. tuna and salmon was just right. rice was perfect. the ginger, couldn't get enough, so good. the sake was good but the vessel it came in spilled when pouring, bad spout. staff friendly and relaxed, made us feel welcome.

Great experience. Food was lovely, well seasoned and really fresh. Sushis were great. Noodles was one of the best I’ve ever tried - we had the vegetarian one! Veggie Gioza was also great. Strongly recommend it.

It is better than expected. Probably one of the best sushi place in Cardiff. The sashimi and maki is good as expected. I personally not a fan of udon but the udon there taste really good. The pork curry is great nothing bad to talk about. So far it is a very nice experience there. Would definitely recommend my frds to go there.

Sushi Life | Wellfield Rd 🍣 On weekends we sushi! 🍣 Too darn long I haven’t been to Sushi Life on Wellfield Road in Roath, Cardiff. There is no better way to spend a Saturday than drowning in cocktails and filling up on sushi rolls. ✨ Our order: Tori Karaage (deep fried chicken) Chicken Gyozas (Japanese dumplings) Tempura prawn (deep fried prawns in breadcrumbs) Spider Maki (Spider Crab Sushi roll) Spicy Salmon maki Boston maki (Salmon, avocado and cucumber roll topped with eel!) MY FAVOURITE of the night! In life I now expect all my meals to be delivered on a pretty bamboo bridge. Ok thanks bye

Ordered delivery 😊food was fresh, amazingly tasty 👌

Been frequenting this place for a few years now and it’s definitely our go to for sushi compared to chains in town. It’s a small store with a cosy ambience. The sushi is consistently good but I think the other food like ramen and chicken katsu can be more flavourful. We always order the Maki rolls to share, favourites are green, yellow and red dragon and cut the crab with sides like gyoza, edamame and noodles.

Excellent food, lovely friendly staff - lil gem of a restaurant- thanks for having us dine with you. We will definitely be returning.

Enjoyed another excellent meal this evening at Sushi Life. I have eaten here on numerous occasions and never been disappointed. First visit for some family members who said “best sushi ever!!) Thank you

Excellent chicken ramen. Much lighter than most with lots of fresh, raw vegetables. Prawn tempura for the maki wasn’t freshly cooked but tasted good. Friendly staff, reasonably priced. Good!

So good, it was one of my favorite places in Cardiff :)

Amazing quality, atmosphere, variety and service

Sadly this evening wasn’t what we had expected. I met a friend at Sushi Life as she is very familiar with Japanese food and we wanted a good catch up. But it was too noisy and crowded for a good catch up and we were...

Loved the Katsu curry and Pad Thai dishes. Also the Mochi balls dessert.

The food seems lovely and tasty when you actually manage to eat or have a take away from there... Been refused a take away order on 3 occasions stating that they'd rather have customer eat in (??) It makes no sense as it's less job for the staff to take out than dine in.. and note to the staff: you could be nicer to people.
