The Crispy Duck in Cardiff

Had an incredible meal at Crispy Duck in Cardiff! The crispy duck was perfectly cooked, tender on the inside and paired excellently with pancake and plum sauce. The chef's special sea bass was another highlight, beautifully presented and tasted amazing! The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Highly recommend this place for delicious Pan-Asian cuisine!

On arrival was told they were fully booked. We had indeed booked. We were rushed to order drinks and pushed to order food. Service after ordering food was very slow. (Almost an hour between starters and mains). Person in charge went around tables apologising saying “ sorry everyone come at once”. I personally found this strange as everyone had booked their times and the restaurant was not full. Food was ok I guess but not impressed at the level of service. Won’t be back.

Always amazing food and friendly great service. Just celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday here and she surprised with a cake. Such a lovely touch. Thank you. Looking forward to coming again.

No podía faltar, cocina china recién cocinada! Servicio brillante y precios justos! Lo mejor que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo

Qué restaurante increíble Servicio y comida 10 / 10 Definitivamente volveré. Incluso sacó un pastel y jugó Feliz cumpleaños canción

Tuve una comida para llevar anoche, la comida es increíble, me encanta el curry rendang aquí, así como el pollo de cerveza de miel. Definitivamente lo pediré de nuevo

We went there last night to celebrate my Birthday and everything was perfect. Staff were very polite and thoughtful, food was delicious. Definietly will be back

We love the food here. Duck wraps are amazing.

Went on the strength of all of the reviews of this restaurant. We were not disappointed when we arrived, the restaurant was not busy (early Sunday evening). We received a warm welcome and seated quickly with menus to peruse. The restaurant is clean and modern looking inside and deceptively spacious. The menu covers all of the favourites and a few other items from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, China, and Thailand. Food arrived in good time and was all very well presented, tasty and plentiful portions and all plates were empty when we were done which is an excellent indication that the food was good, which it was, I would say it was excellent. The bill was £100 for starters, mains, sides and drinks for 4 adults, including a decent tip, which is very good indeed, we thought. We would highly recommend the Crispy Duck to anyone in or visiting Cardiff.

This place is incredible. My partner and I ate here a few weeks ago. The food is fantastic, would definetly recommend. The atmosphere and service are also great. We will be back soon.

Some of the best food in Cardiff isn't in the City Centre, it's on Whitchurch Road and Crispy Duck is absolutely one of the best on the street. The food, service and atmosphere are all great. I'm so lucky this is just round the corner from my house.

Amazing food in a great laid back atmosphere. The staff couldn't help enough and were more than willing to do a few changes for one of our fussy kids. The crispy beef is one of the best I've had and the rice is off the charts 🔥

Just had a takeaway via Deliveroo- cannot believe how far down Cripsy Duck has fallen. It was a go to place not just for us but for groups. I was so disappointed! Was looking forward to it but every dish bar the ribs was just awful - I’m sorry I don’t normally give bad reviews but this time I can’t but!

Great food. Excellent service. Wonderful neighborhood place. Worth traveling there from anywhere in Cardiff. We will be back!

It’s always packed in here, so they must be doing something right. We had a pleasant evening, nothing too write home about. Can’t fault the service. They do lots of options, could maybe do less and better …

Brilliant banana bites, lovely tableware and great service

We had a fantastic meal at The Crispy Duck. Service was amazing too. We travelled from Lancashire and will return. It was so good.

The waiter was extremely unwelcoming and rude, i had to leave the place before ordering because of his behavior. I told him that I'm not happy and leaving, he said "Okay Bye!"

Had amazing dinner with friends in this restaurant. Foods are fresh and delicious, good service was received. Will definitely visit again

We attended The Crispy Duck last night to celebrate our daughters 19th birthday. Everything was perfect, from ease of online booking, to arriving and being seated in the beautiful clean, calm restaurant. The staff were quick to take our drinks order but gave us plenty of time to choose from the extensive menu. Every single item we ordered from Sake to dessert were not only presented beautifully but tasted divine! You could tell Everything was freshly prepared and the portion sizes were generous. The prices were excellent especially for a big city! As we started to eat dessert the music changed to happy birthday and a full birthday cake was delivered to our table, this was a complete surprise to us and such a beautiful touch from the owners! We highly recommend The Crispy Duck, every aspect of the restaurant is designed to make your dining experience perfect!

Great food and service, never lets us down

Absolutely disgusting service, management were so rude, I would definitely not recommend this restaurant. It was reheated food, the prawn toast was burnt. I would never ever go back to this restaurant ever again. Owner was so rude.. food was again reheated and rushed. Iv never been so disrespected in a restaurant in all my life.. we asked for 5 minutes to look at the menu and we weren’t even given a chance. I will never ever come back here again.

Excellent food from a varied pan-Asian menu. This was our first visit, but we'll be back sometime soon. Nice comfortable surroundings too. Not too loud. Staff seemed friendly.

Such a great find, drove past and looked good from the outside so went in. Such great staff, food was amazing and so much to choose from. The food was perfect, fresh and presented amazingly. Will be returning as would love to try more of the menu. Definitely one of the best we have had.

This is one of our regular favourite restaurants and it didn't disappoint again. We've eaten here at least 50 times and the food quality is always excellent. The sushi is worth ordering and the curries are very nice

Nice place for dinner, both the staff and the food is great.

Excellent choice of food, great atmosphere and fantastic service. I visited The Crispy Duck on a Sunday evening with the family, and we had a range of delicious food, including the Malaysian chicken curry (highly recommended).

Spur of the moment visit to the crispy duck for the first time and so glad we did! Very close to us and can’t believe we haven’t visited before, but will definitely go back. The owner was friendly and chatty and made us feel welcome, with the smells coming out of the kitchen I know we were in for a treat, the satay starter was served quickly and streaming hot with a lovely peanut sauce, main course was the crispy chilli beef which was probably the best I’ve tried, served with something new, a honey beer sauce with crispy chicken, hot sweet and sour full of flavour. Too full for dessert but will go back and try some other dishes in the future.. A must try for anyone in the area.

Last Saturday we went to the crispy duck as we have done many times . It was such a lovely atmosphere as it always is in fairness . The food as always was amazing. The service tip top . Everyone there including the staff were having a happy time . See you soon and a happy new year to Eric and the team !

We booked our meal for a family celebration. Our table was in a quiet part of the restaurant as requested. Service was excellent with attentive, friendly waiters and nothing was too much trouble. The food was served on warm plates and was the best Chinese food we have tasted. It was freshly prepared, hot and served in generous portions. We all agreed that every starter and main we had chosen was excellent! We ordered everything from crispy squid and duck pancakes to lemon chicken, curry and noodles dishes. The prices were also reasonable considering the quantity and quality of the food. We highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a special occasion, and will definitely be returning ourselves in the future!

Food was nice but portions were really small and dry , the curry had no sauce to it . Also I ordered red bean ice cream but was given vanilla

Wonderful service, amazing food We were 15 at table & all served in unison Would heartily recommend & will dine here again

Great food and service by Eric! Would 100% recommend and will come back for the Singaporean Vermicelli Noodles!!

Visited recently for the first time. Fantastic place, really good food and great service. Will definitely be back.

I give this restaurant 11/10. Eric and staff and chef absolutely brilliant! The most gorgeous meal we have had in a long time. Thank you! Eric, I told you I would leave a review! Love Sue x

Staying in Cardiff for one night so did a google search. Found this place. Amazing food, salt and pepper ribs were delicious as was our mains. Pity we don’t live here.

An absolute find: I was looking for somewhere that did gluten free. And this place was amazing. I called before hand an Eric the owner said he can do all but two of the dishes gluten free. So we went - two couples and the food was delicious l, fresh and Eric was the most attentive host. Best Chinese I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to revisit.

Excellent food, excellent service! The honey beer chicken was amazing! We couldn’t fault it at all. We will be back and soon!

Highly recommend the crispy duck . From the first time my husband took me there i was hooked . If you havnt been give it a go its lovely . The restaurant is always clean ,tidy and inviting the menu has a really good selection of dishes spoilt for choice . For starters we shared the bbq ribs , satay chicken skewers and my favourite the spring rolls all served on delightful plates and compliments . For mains we had the sweet n sour chicken the honey beer beef which is gorgeous with some chicken n mushroom rice and noodles . The portions are of good size too . They have a nice selection of wine too . The staff are friendly and helpful a small family run restaurant nothing is to much trouble . You even get some celebration chocolates when paying the bill . We visit quite often due to the good service and quality of the food . Let them know it's your birthday they will even give you a cake and a happy birthday song too . A must visit will keep returning

Another excellent meal, fantastic food and service! Starters, mains, drinks and the birthday surprise were all great!

Excellent Food fabulous service excellent. Will definitely be back.

Great food and atmosphere something for everyone here at very fair prices…Friendly staff with great service…will definitely be going back

Haven't had a bad meal here, thus am a regular. If its not on the menu ask and they will probably do it for you

Title: A Gem. A modern twist on classical Asian food. Still good after all these years. The menu is a journey through the best of Pan-Asian cuisine. Malaysian, Chinese, Thai and Japanese. Each dish was a well presented and bursting with flavours that spoke of authenticity. The standout for me was the roast Duck in plum sauce. This restaurant is not just about great food, the staff were very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. A destination that should not be missed. A resounding 5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Was quiet, but it was wednesday early evening. Food was gorgeous, service was great. Very friendly. Will definitely be coming again

Had to come back to this place. As always the food and service was amazing. I havent found a another restaurant that does the same type of egg fried rice. Its so much better in here.

I was taken out for my birthday and treated to some really tasty food. Very friendly staff and fantastic service. I was even given a birthday cake at the end of the meal! Thank you to all at the Crispy Duck 👍 Highly recommended

Always a great selection of food and top rate service. Parking is easy as it's not in the city centre. A favourite with all of us!

As a family we come here regularly. The food and service is excellent. Such a varied menu and staff always happy to help . Lovely atmosphere I highly recommend it.

Absolutely beautiful , wether you are dining in or out both as enjoyable . Very tasty , always fresh and hot.

Good selection and tasty too. Quick and easy to order via the website.

Always a great selection of food and top rate service. Parking is easy as it's not in the city centre. A favourite with all of us!

It’s always a pleasure to eat at the Crispy Duck. The food is always of a high standard, my favourite being the teriyaki salmon and pak choi. The atmosphere is relaxed and Eric, the owner is attentive and friendly. It’s my go to,place for authentic pan Asian cuisine and in my opinion, cannot be beaten.

A fantastic menu. Quality food, prompt service & delightful atmosphere. Clean & spacious. Staff are attentive, polite & informative, able to explain and detail flavours & origins of each dish. Love your work

Absolutely fabulous place. Owner and staff were attentive and efficient. Food arrived quickly, piping hot, fresh and not greasy at all. My 8 year old had lessons from the owner on how to use his chopsticks and encouragement to try new things. The duck was delicious...to be honest it all was! Well worth a visit.

Delicious food and helpful polite staff . Rest room spotless and the ambiance just right . Have been to this restaurant several times and maintains its high standards

Top quality tasty food! Highly recommended!

Amazing Asian restaurant with a little bit of everything from Japanese to Singapore cuisine. Takoyaki is one of my favorite things, and it was wonderful here. Great ambiance and service!

LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. The chicken karage, prawn taste, beef randang and ebi chahaan was 10000/10. What a discovery

Amazing food and top quality service. Highly recommend!

Had the katsu curry and it was delicious! They had a nice range to choose from and am very excited to visit again to try some sushi! Service was super fast and service was very friendly. Highly recommend!

I visit this place regularly, always delicious, rendang curry is great

My wife and I are regulars here, we absolutely love the food. An amazing pan-Asian selection that's consistently delicious. Standout dishes include the rendang curry, the katsu, edamame beans and pretty much every rice dish. Portions are just right, and the service is always friendly. It's head and shoulders above the bog standard Chinese takeaways. Highly recommended

Just had a family birthday celebration at the Crispy Duck. Excellent food, attentive and friendly service and great atmosphere. A most enjoyable evening. Thank you.

Wonderful atmosphere, great service and deliciously authentic food. Reminds me of my trip to Malaysia! Ate too fast to take food pictures

Very popular on a Saturday night especially as it was Chinese New Year's eve when we visited. I tried Singapore Satay meat skewer with peanut sauce for £4 which I found to be chewy. This was followed by Malaysian style spiced stir fry with both chopped chicken and beef. This came in a light soy sauce with crushed ginger, garlic, onion and fresh chillies to give it a bit of a kick. The starch was provided by egg fried rice. Absolutely nothing to complain about with this course. Very clean toilets and friendly but busy staff.

We had a meat eater, vegetarian and coeliac in our party and managed to all get lots of great food that we enjoyed. Wasn't as tasty as I thought, but was still really lovely food and most of all I appreciated how many dietary options there were and the lovely staff/service.

We came here as a family of four impromptu and were lucky to secure a table after a drop out. The menu choices of Asian cuisine was fabulous with Thai. Chinese and Japanese dishes. There was plenty for everyone. We tried a variety of starters and mains including crispy duck pancake, salt and pepper rib, tempura vegetables, Katsu chicken, vernicelli, chicken teriyaki and Malaysian curry. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. We can see why it receives so many awards! It was also very good value with drinks, starter and main we paid less than £100. Would highly recommend!

So glad I chose this place, would definitely order again very tasty food and good portions.

We have been going to The Crispy Duck since it opened many years ago and always loved the food and great service. Last night the family took my Mum there to celebrate her 91st birthday. As usual the service, food, choice and general ambience were all excellent - and they were very busy. Thank you so much to Eric and the team for yet another great evening out at the Crispy Duck - we’ll be back soon !

Very nice food. Good portion sizes and has lovely staff.

My son & I are both super fussy, so we choose this fabulous restaurant over all of the others in Cardiff, we always receive a welcome akin to family, the food is delicious, perfect portions & a culinary delight. I real world gem tucked away in our fabulous city. Thank you for having us

Great service and food at the Crispy Duck. Eric and the team never fail to deliver top quality dining. A great place for couples, family, friends and groups. Cannot recommend the Cripsy Duck enough.

My friends and I have had a lovely meal here this evening. The menu choices was explained to each of us in turn. Meat and fish melted in our mouths. Super tasty food.

The best Asian restaurant to visit in Cardiff Get to spent a great time with friends definitely will go for Malaysia chicken curry

I have been to alot of Chinese restaurants in town, this one is one of the best. Food was delicious, served well, and at a fair time.

A perfect evening! The most delicious food. A great variety and varied menu. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Highlights were the wonderful starters and sushi! Leaving looking forward to coming back for more!! 5*

Go here regularly! Gets better each and every time! If you’re looking for a place to take your other half or your family for a fabulous evening of the best service and the most tastiest of Asian cuisine then look no further!

What an amazing evening! The most delicious food. Perfect setting, service and presentation. Amazing menu with great and varied choices. Starters to die for and we can't wait to come back and try more! 10 out of 10 couldn't recommend more *****

Just the most fabulous evening again at Crispy Duck Cardiff. A lovely warm welcome from Eric and family and delicious food always. Prawn satay, honey beer chicken, Japanese chicken teriyaki, stir fry broccoli and pak Choi, 😋😋 We are so lucky to live within a few miles of this amazing restaurant can’t recommend highly enough.

Popped in here on spec. What a brilliant restaurant. Excellent food, excellent service and fantastic value. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Have eaten here and had food to take away several times now, the food is consistently delicious, the owners are always welcoming and helpful, and you can get gluten-free Cantonese-style sweet and sour chicken, the kind that's battered and fried first. You have to ask about what dishes can be gluten-free, some are anyway, some they have to add a note. They'll also adjust spice levels for you if you ask, partner is very pleased he can get extra-spicy Singapore noodles that are gluten-free. Other regular favourites here are the tamago gohan, the pak choi, and the crispy shredded beef (all available gf).

Went in with quite a lot of expectations, but let down. Ramen was below par, and the vegetarian option with Kimchi was worse. For some reason broth was smelling fish, being a vegetarian, it was quite difficult to even finish rather small portion of serving. For the price tempura, Ramen, crispy duck roll was all quite small. Would prefer leading chain of similar restaurant.

Plenty of menu choice, friendly service and reasonable prices. We decided to share three starters (salt & pepper spare ribs, chicken gyoza and crispy chicken karagee) and enjoyed them all. The portion sizes were just right for starters. We shared chicken udon noodles to accompany...

Hands down the best Chinese food in Cardiff
