That's pretty inexcusable having filthy loos with no soap. gourmetgorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151639585645335132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-6286965382970806642016-11-06T09:31:17.840+00:002016-11-06T09:31:17.840+00:00Hubby & I ate there about a month And all was ...Hubby & I ate there about a month And all was ok until at the end I visited the loos... they were filthy & no soap!! I then got more suspicious when I couldn't see the food rating clearly displayed (it was tucked away & not clearly visible) so I did some googling & found it has a 2. We didn't get ill but spent the whole night paranoid that we were going to... not nice!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127977827822657270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-85461687800681105632015-04-15T01:05:17.759+01:002015-04-15T01:05:17.759+01:00Cn

The service was charming and helpful too. <br /><br />One big problem. I couldn't see the hygiene rating displayed so, perhaps foolishly, looked it up on the Foods Standards Agency website. It got a frankly miserable 1. I want this restaurant to succeed and have been told that there might be all kinds of non-hygiene related reasons for such a rating - such as failure to complete paper work. However I am unconvinced, so until I am assured that there will be no rat droppings in my steamed dumplings I will wait hungrily for the time I can feel it is safe to indulge again.Mustardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077717736483347583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-6216433718305799752012-11-10T08:42:28.332+00:002012-11-10T08:42:28.332+00:00@Anonymous 9th Nov - Really pleased you like the b...@Anonymous 9th Nov - Really pleased you like the blog.

As a Chinese who is a Sichuan cuisine lover, I reckon the Sichuan dishes there are authentic and the price is reasonable.

Like I said PO the O was pretty dire on the last few visits, such a shame as it is in a perfect location.<br /><br />Btw, I loved the work that eating crab involved, it was such a big crab it made you eat slower and not get full so quickly; my other half did get a little fed up and had to help me out as he had finished his dish about 1/2 hour before me!<br /><br />Regards Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-33024115010680290672012-09-19T21:52:13.596+01:002012-09-19T21:52:13.596+01:00@anonymous - Thanks for commenting.

I'm glad you enjoyed the post and the blog too. <br /><br />I'm really keen to visit Riverside Cantonese, Pearl of the Orient, Yang's and Double Super Happy. Heard particularly good things about Riverside.<br /><br />Interesting how much you enjoyed the crab dish. Although I enjoyed it, I think I would have loved it if they'd removed the meat from the shell for me. I don't like to work too much for my dinner!<br /><br />Would love to visit Mr Underhill's too. It's very much on my to visit list. <br /><br />Best wishes. gourmetgorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151639585645335132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-77127239790450931442012-09-18T09:03:55.940+01:002012-09-18T09:03:55.940+01:00Well done on this blog, I didn't realise there...Well done on this blog, I didn't realise there were so many places to eat oriental food in Cardiff. I am a massive Chinese food fan and would be very interested to see your reviews on the riverside and the pearl of the orient although I would warn you not to waste your money on the latter if our last experience was anything to go by! It was dreadful!<br /><br />Also we enjoyed your reviews on the potted pig, I have had that crab twice and despite nearly blinding fellow customers with bits of crab shell flying all over the shop it is probably the best dish I have ever eaten.<br /><br />Very enjoyable and entertaining blog, keep it up!<br /><br />Ps. If you want to treat mrs G to a nice weekend I would recommend Mr Underhills in Ludlow, a michellin starred bed and breakfast and a well worth a visit.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
