In Cardiff? Anyone?
My usual one in Cathays appears to have closed forever......def something I’ve missed of late.
I got a sneaky feeling they generally close on a Tuesday, but try the golden star on Waungron road in Fairwater appears to be still serving (not today). Its on google, and they deliver but I don't know how far. I think you can pay by card over the phone.
I think the Man Po in Ely is still open
Will have a look at that. TaQuote:

Decent Chinese takeaway...don’t make me laugh. Bet you won’t find one that doesn’t add (MSG) in their food.
Don't think we've had a Chinese takeaway in years.
We've tended to find first, second order is nice then after that quality declines, often sending out clearly reheated food.
I used to go to the Golden Star occasionally when I lived in Cardiff - never had any complaints about the food there.Quote:

Best not to order three meals at the same time:hehe:Quote:

In normal times the rule of thumb is "If you pass it on the way home from the pub the food is good enough." lolQuote:

Heath Kitchen has been shit for years. There's a place towards the top, by the co op, Gourmet Kitchen? been there twice and it was tidy.Quote:

There used to be a brilliant authentic chinese in pontyclun and there is one in aberkenfig , bridgend that is good
When I lived in pontcanna there was a fairly decent one but it changed hands and went all greasy , the pissed up taffia didnt know the difference though
China Garden in Llandaff North is open Wednesday to Sunday. You have to ring through your order then collect or have it delivered.
Had one last week. Was ready to collect in 30 minutes.
Might try that one cheersQuote:
