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.

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.

Fancied a takeaway this evening and decided on Summer Palace as I had heard and read great reviews about it. Small family run business In Llandaff village. Ordering was easy via phone (as some places, there’s loads of confusion due to my dietary requirements!) The lady was able to explain and suggest dishes which is always a positive. The lady at the counter was really polite and friendly when collecting our takeaway. Service was efficient. All dishes were hot and tasty. Favourites of ours were the fish ginger spring onion, duck with beansprouts and my kids absolutely loved the noodles. Definitely a returning customer!

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.
