YO! Sushi - St David's Cardiff

Having first tried Yo! Sushi's food at their Bristol (Cabot Circus) restaurant I have to say that I loved this overpriced bit of food.
As soon as I knew it was coming to Cardiff I got excited about it... but that was about it... Food doesn't seem to beat the other branch of the chain... Tamago was frozen, Crunchy Tofu wasn't crunchy... just a big disappointment really.
After several months I came back and I have to say that it is better, the Tamago is now served as it should (even though the Crunchy Tofu still isn't crunchy) but the food is still expensive... I either have a big appetite or those tiny bitsy portions are made of rice shaped gold.

Went there for the other half birthday with high hopes. Unfortunately didn't really met them.
At first I really liked the café look and feel, found rather strange we were the only ones there though. When the waitress came along I found it very homely and cosy as she was really nice but after the 30/40 minutes the food took to arrive it was just plain food... nothing really special. The mrs had a veggie moussaka that half of it looked like mashed potato (not even bechamel) and I had boiled veggies in broth.
All the good reviews we heard from friends went down the drain. It has indeed a traditional feel about it and apparently they even have a private room upstairs for big groups and it's free... but all that didn't really reel me in.
Sorry.

Went there, as part of a group, for a late night meal at around 22:30 and they were kind enough to let us in and I really appreciated they did because for a little restaurant they do pack in the flavour.
I have to say that I'm not really big in Indian food but at the price of £9 for all the delicious food you can eat hardly anyone can beat it.
I definitely recommend this, though I have to say to not get scared by the very poor decoration, it just looks like you entered an old mate's rented flat... it's the only thing I think should be dealt with, other than that really good!

Fast, semi-affordable and tasty noodles. I have also spotted this shop in Amsterdam first but never there ate in one until today, I have to say that I was really pleased with it, the food is really tasty and the concept of you choosing your main ingredients works really well, for your stomach and your wallet, since the noodles already come with a selection of vegetables on top as standard.
The things I didn't like... Service wasn't the best, the waiter was a bit rude, never looked at us and took a LONG time cooking a fast meal. Also I think the menu should include different types of noodles, like what Noodle Box at Cathays do.
On a positive note I have to say that I couldn't finish my lunch and saved it for supper, it kinda gives you a 2 in 1 deal! Think about it.

As soon as you enter it you know you are on a franchise, despite all the efforts they went through to make it feel personal and as if it was genuine they just can’t achieve it. Everything feels fake.
The food was average (not really Italian), I did enjoy it but it wasn’t out of this world for the money it was. It is a great place to go with friends though! Or if you are having a birthday party you get balloons and the lights dim just for you! It does get irritating after the third time…
Would suggest this for a friends night out or a fun date. Food is ok, facilities are good and the speed of service is ok, they did take a little bit but nothing that long…

Having never sit down there for a proper meal and only had a take away I have to say that I really enjoyed my lunch, they give enough food for 2 or even 3 people on their wraps. Really nice value for your money and you get to see them cooking/grilling your wraps.
My only if about the restaurant is that they were way too slow doing their stuff, I had to wait around 15 to 20 minutes. Which is a bit too much for a wrap.
If I ever go there to have a proper lunch will report back but if you are hungry and enjoy North African food this is a very good place to go!

Been there a few times already and each of the times it didn’t disappoint me, it is a very young and cool place. You wouldn’t see this out of place in the middle of Barcelona, or other trendy city.
I really liked their cocktail options, a really wide menu with some really tasty ones. The thing I am yet to try is their food but I’ve been told it is very very good, specially the brunch!
The first time I was there was to see a design exhibition they had on display and that really interested me. After that I went there for a mini festival, with music, design, food and burlesque dancing! A strange mix but that went down really well. I am hoping to attend the Northcote lane market! Will report! ;)
If I had to say something bad about it it would have to be the indifference of the team, they were a bit rude and didn’t seem to care about the customer. Other than that it is faultless! Do try the Yurt! On a hot day it looked a bit stuffy but on a cold winter day it does looks lovely!
grahamf the more I read, the less I like the place. Good staff attitude is crucial - they don't deserve any customers if they are that compacent and rude.

Although I am a veggie and the name has nothing to do with my option of eating, I really did enjoy this restaurant!
From the light decoration, to the friendliness of staff, even the way of ordering is quite nice. Found it fresh and unique in Cardiff. It is as if a Café and a Restaurant came together in a package.
As I said before they cater for veggies alike, they have at least 3 veggie options on the menu and all of thei hamburguers look amazing! American styled but not American in the plastic essence of it!
It is a medium to large restaurant, they have a varied menu and a good selection of beers/lagers. I would say that this is a more lunch directed one!
I reccomend this restaurant! I will go there again!
And if you do go there, do not forget to try the Oreo milkshake! It was delicious!

Went there for a meal after the cinema and it is actually a nice place to go out for something to eat, but it didn’t left me a lasting impression. The staff was very nice and prompt, everything we wanted we had it. But in the end I found it to be pricy for the food we had… The pizzas are £10 each, and so is the rest of the menu, they have a quite nice varied menu, compared to other places.
I did like the decor, the ever so present stone oven and the attention of the staff.
I didn’t like the non Italian feeling of it all, seem to bland and just another posh restaurant.
I do reccomend a visit but be prepared to fork out at least £17 each, the drinks and the desserts are pricey.

Este é o que se pode chamar o primo mais pequeno do Pavilhão do Conhecimento no Parque das Nações.
É ideal para umas boas horas quando o tempo não permite para mais, aconselho vivamente depois de se ter visitado o Museu Nacional no Cathays Park.
O Techniquest é especialmente adequado a crianças, tendo um considerável número de experiências, e até a adultos. Fui lá com a minha outra metade e deu para uma manhã bem divertida e ao mesmo tempo interessante!
A parte mais engraçada foi o mini planetário que têem lá! Apesar de ser pequeno ele proporciona uma experiência mais íntima e mais à vontade da astronomia!
Só tem dois senãos, o preço e o facto de ser pequeno!
Ah! Levem comida, pois o restaurante é carote e a comida não é das melhores
