Beef Ho Fun was great as well as the roasted pork belly with a perfectly crispy skin. Nasi Lemak was good, but this being our first try of Nasi Lemak we can't compare to previous experiences. The portion sizes are great in my opinion. Sometimes you can be given too much food and this can affect presentation, but we didn't leave overfilled and were satisfied. The staff are attentive and easy-going which made the experience more enjoyable, and the cleanliness was superb. Prices are above average, but this reflects the pride in their cooking and business, which is overall very strong. Would be extra enjoyable with medium sized groups.

The food is really tasty! I went there with Malaysian friends as they were recommending it. We ordered the meal for “4 or 5 hungry friends” and it was extremely delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are always keen to help you if you need. Just make sure to book beforehand, especially if you’re going to have a dinner there.

Friendly Chinese Malaysian dining. It seems like a professionally family run business. The tea came quick, and they were happy to refill with water. The food was served quickly and warm. It was well presented, and the taste was spot on. Overall, it was a pleasant calm experience. The price was reasonable. Happy to visit again.

The Malaysian food is very authentic as is the Chinese food. The portions were very generous and the crispy pork cooked to perfection. We will deffo return!Anyone looking for a good taste of the Orient look no further than here!

It's nice to have Malaysian dishes served in Cardiff but because I personally have been to many in and around West Side and London. I have to say the portions given are really frugal.Portions were alright, and the food is considered delicious by UK standards. Location is fairly easy to find with a carpark area just around the corner making it relatively easy for access as well.We were asked for additional £2 if we wanted extra sambal. To give a comparison on the amount given. Picture 2 is what we have in central London. That was the 1 negative we found. But the chicken portion given compensated slightly.

Came here spontaneously and really glad I did. One or two minor things I thought could've been better but that's me being fussy. I will be back for the Nasi Lemak for sure.

Really enjoyed our Malaysian dishes experience. Good quality food throughout from roti chenai to beef redang, and a couple of chicken dishes - one with lychee was just delicious. Friendly service and reasonable-ish prices. One request: we need tea tarik please!!

Unfortunately the meal took 1hr 20 mins to be delivered & not the estimated 20-40 mins and arrived stone cold. One of the orders was for a beef rendang, it was tiny & dry and so not worth the £7.30 it cost. The chicken Pad Thai was a tasteless, stodgy lump of udon noodles & beansprouts with a lonely slice of chilli. Such a disappointing meal 😞

On our day trip to Cardiff, we were pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a Malaysian eatery. Being Malaysian, I tend to be quite particular but I would say that this place met my standards and we had a lovely lunch of - char koay teow, hainanese chicken rice, kangkung belacan and salted egg squid. There is room for improvement but overall, I'd say this is one of the better and more authentic Malaysian restaurants, even compared to London. Oh and the home made soya bean milk was lovely too - just remember to add the syrup! We would definitely eat here again if we are in town in future!
