!!!!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE !!!!!! Received order and discovered raw chicken in the curry. Also a liver in with the duck (idk if this is normal tbh). I called them up and they wouldn’t take my word for it and disregarded what I had to say. I was told the chicken was cooked twice and it would not have been undercooked. I insisted on sending an image of the undercooked chicken as well as the duck liver. Once the restaurant received the images I was informed that the duck liver was fine to just leave and not abnormal but the chicken was not cooked enough. I was offered a £6.00 refund/ the dish to be re-cooked. Obviously I was not happy with either of these options as there is a large chance I will end up falling ill. I asked for a full refund which they agreed to on the terms that the order was returned with each item containing more than half of its contents. This restaurant cared more about the return of their undercooked food than the well-being of their customers. Upon collection of the order a delivery man looked through each item to ensure each was more than half full (even the sauces). This situation was handled extremely unprofessionally and I am disgusted at the inability to properly cook chicken. Don’t let the other reviews fool you, this place is a joke. I may be forced to report this case to the environmental health services.

An irony of a restaurants. That took my order online with Just eat. Haven't refunded me after serving me a boiled sloppy Joes . The Restaurant owner is a crook. Stole my money then left me out of pocket. You Should be ashamed of yourself ! You might think 'Just eat' can redact your reviews. But it doesn't stop me making a review on Google. Don't order from this place online.

The service was good and the venue was cute. You get good portions for the price too. However the food was really disappointing. I had the chefs special. The best way I can describe it is, imagine the white ish sauce from a Chicken pie but remove the taste and add too much garlic. The noodles tasted like nothing as well. I always feel bad giving a bad review however I can't bring myself to lie. I'd definitely give this place a skip or just go for a more traditional dish like fried rice.

Very friendly and lovely owners, they personally speak to you and ask how your meals are and even hold conversations with you if you like. Food has always been great as well as their prices!

I’d say hands down best Authentic Chinese food around. Huge selection of dishes. A particular favourite is the Chicken with leak and chilli, a must try. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. I travel about 15 miles for a takeaway, it’s that good. I won’t go anywhere else. If you haven’t eaten in or had a takeaway from here then your missing out.

Absolutely amazing food, staff and a personal friendly touch by Mr Zi himself. Best in Cardiff.

Tom Yum soup was a bit on the salty side but it was tasty. The fried noodles, mixed meats, wasn't good, too dry. The house mixed rice wasn't that great either.

Love this place. Been a few tiimes now, but not for a few years and I'm so glad it survived all the lockdowns. Came in without a booking and quite late, but they were happy to accomodate us. I had General Tso's Chicken, which is not that easy to find in the UK - I know it's not exactly authentic Chinese, but I love it, especially when it's cooked as well as this one....real fiery kick, lovely crunchy chicken and a beautiful sweet sticky sauce. All extremely reasonably priced as well.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my family. We love dimsum and wanted to compare with Happy Gathering in Canton. Food was decent along with service though portion size for rice noodles with shredded duck was a bit on the small side (shared between 3 people). Not much of an atmosphere (no music) just the noise of other people in the restaurant. Price was ok along with the food (could be better). Highchair was also provided. Overall is just OK, would come again but wouldn’t be my first choice of restaurant.

Amazing Dim sum Lunch. Great service. Definitely worth a try and Will come back for more.

First time trying this Chinese and we really enjoyed it! Easy to order ahead collect through the website, great value for money and everything we ordered was super yummy. We definitely recommend the pork ribs in honey!

I just came from there. The food was amazing. The staff very lovely. I even tried one of the coconut tarts -delicious. You would be missing if you don't try it out.

I've eaten there so many times over the past 5+years and the food has always been amazing!

Calming environment, lovely staff and food, great selection for a good price, open till a good time also! Plus the axolotls are soo cute!!!

Never had a bad experience with Zi’s Great customer service Excellent experience with takeaway and dining in. (Both equally as good) Recently tried a different Chinese just for something new, but never again. Zi’s cafe is the best for me and my girlfriend in Cathays. Been loving their food for 4 years now. 10/10 would recommend.

Met an old friend. First time trying Japanese (I know ). Tasty vegetarian hot and sour soup- maybe too chilly for me. But lots of flavour, lovely and hot for this cold weather. First time having tofu!! Haha I loved it and completely finished the bowl! Then had deep fried aubergine dish which was amazing. I am so going to try to recreate this at home! With veg fried rice. They had lots of people ordering take away by the looks of it. Saw just eat and deliveroo drivers coming in and out. But apart from us no one else in the restaurant. But sat do see as the food was tasty. But fine for me and my friend to have a good catch up. Service was wonderful, we had jasmine tea, because we were there chatting so long the waitress came and refilled with hot water again - I mean it was just what was needed in the evening on a cold winter's day! I will definitely come again!

My favourite takeaway place. You'd think it's a standard Chinese but no, it's a secret Malaysian place! So the food is more authentic, higher quality, better ingredients and tasty. The price is also excellent value. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking to eat with others at home and need a range of well-priced and speedily prepared food.

Excellent. A lovely environment. Staff are very nice and friendly. Really enjoyed the dining experience here.

Have been coming here for the last 10 years and always have good food, quick service and reasonable prices! Best Chinese in Cardiff!

Just finished a takeaway from there and by far the best Chinese food I’ve had. The chicken and beef were so tender. Flavours were massive. Would definitely reccomend!

Best place for Chinese food in Cardiff. In an unassuming part of the city popular with students. Very large portions for the price and excellent food, some dishes that are on most Chinese menus and some specials I've only seen there.

For four years (and counting now), Zi’s has been my favourite Chinese place in the entirety of Cardiff (and then some!). A must try is their chicken with dried chilli and leeks. I love this place!!!

Ordered food from this restaurant. At first they were helpful with explaining if certain dishes had fish sauce on or not. When we collected the food and got home and began to eat we noticed what looked like a BIG clump of ‘hair’ in the food. It put us off our food immediately. I rang zis cafe and they explained they wanted to see the hair so they could find out if it was Asian or Western hair. I sent them a photo. They came to our house and was still convinced it was not hair but string. I explained either way it should not be in my food. After a lot of debate they said I could have half of my money back as we ‘consumed’ half of the food! I tried to explain that the half that was no longer in the cartons was now in fact in the bin and I was not prepared to go through my bin to collect rice and pieces of chicken, so they could take it back to the store. Terrible customer service! And hygiene.

Exceptional food, by far the best Chinese food I have tasted, a family favourite. We would not go anywhere else for Chinese cuisine. The food is authentic and the service fantastic. The dishes are light and tasty. The restaurant owner always has the utmost time for you. I would recommend sitting in as opposed to a takeaway for the full dining experience.

A very delicious Chinese! 😋

! Cash Only! Food was fine, service was very friendly.

The owner is friendly and good service... the food is absolutely good here!! A place should go!!

Rice and chips were to dry and no flavour. Beef with mushrooms tasted disgusting.
