    Delicious Dim Sum served during the daytime. Excellent Cheung Fun, meat croquettes, roast pork puffs, Prawn in crispy beancurd, scallop dumplings Loved the egg tarts, wish I'd have ordered more to take home Chinese tea was excellent and was constantly being refilled. Staff were lovely and the meal was very good value for money.

    Admittedly, Dragon Court is probably the best place to get dim sum in Cardiff. However, having been coming here since it first opened, i can confidently say that the quality of food has massively gone down hill. Just not downhill enough for us to stop coming here, as there simply aren’t many good options in Cardiff. The staff are always very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. The place has clean toilets and good parking available too. It’s just a disappointment about the food quality as they really did used to make some really good food! Now it’s nothing you couldn’t find at Global and make at home

    Recent meal on a Sunday lunchtime with family.Great food and service but we all received parking fines of £90 for staying 3hrs 20 mins.Restaurant should alert customers as this will influence any future visits.

    Nice afternoon spent with friends and family yesterday. We have had popular dishes and dumplings. Delicious meals and very well presented! One of the dishes was really spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Not really enjoyed the rest of the flavours because of that but we should warn you about the spiciness as if you are not used to as weren’t than better no to order it. We mixed it up with rice my friend diluted with water- nothing helped so be careful about that! Delicious chrysanthemums 🍵 Recommend to come with someone that knows the dishes. No pictures for each dish to have an idea what it looks like. Translation in English for the dishes but still not enough to get the idea of what that will be. Beautiful location not very visible from the car but accessible. Recommend booking. We’re going back to taste even more.

    All the food I had was very tasty. I only recommend to people that have patience because Chinese food does not always turn up same time like a British restaurant. Other than that my family love their hot jasmine tea, it make us feel like we are home. Staff are very politely and treat us like family. We will for sure go back there again.

    Think they are closed down for good as no one answers the phone anymore. Well...no surprise as the service and the food quality gone down. (Think it is because of the change of the original chef and the change of the desk management) The old woman was in charge instead of the original guy. And that woman is a bit rude.

    Beat dim sum in cardiff! This is a hidden gem of a authentic Chinese restaurant. Very friendly staff. Great dim sum and extensive main menu. I would definitely recommend ordering the trio of bbq meats then order loads of dim sum. The roast duck is insanely good. This has to be the ultimate hangover cure.

    Food was delivered so quickly I think it may have been precooked. Was not the best quality.

    True Cantonese food in Cardiff. Be careful about the prices though. Most portion sizes are single person sized dishes and cost can run away!

    Had a lovely family meal at Good World. Service has always been great and food that’s fitting with the service. Highly recommend the dim sum, but main dishes are just as good.

    UPDATE (October 2022): we came back for my birthday since it changed hands during the pandemic. They had pea shoots this time, and we had a squirrel fish and deep fried oysters as well as the inevitable pi pa tofu. This is the best in the area by far. I have dreams that feature pi pa tofu so it was fab to be at a place with it on the menu (although we were given the abbreviated westernised version, not the six-pager with the niche dishes on it that’s on their website). Also sadly no dau miu. But we were very satisfied!

    Really tasty food. Went with my Chinese brother in law and he was pleased with the variety. We had mainly dim sum which was great and I had crispy noodles with king prawns and vegetables. Will definitely be my go to place for a Chinese meal. Nice airy atmosphere and great friendly service. Spotlessly clean toilets too. Access is up two flights of stairs and there is no lift. Plenty of parking outside as it's located in a large retail park.

    The food itself tasted good. However there were much issues with the communication between the floor and kitchen. Two out of the four dishes we ordered arrived incorrect, Sichuan Dry Fried String Beans (干煸四季豆) came without the mince meat as described in the menu, Pi Pa Tofu turned into a completely different dish. We raised the issues with the staff, to their credit they acknowledged the issue and sent the food straight back to the kitchen, but the new dishes didn't come for another good 30 minutes, which at that time we couldn't enjoy the food as much since we've already finished the other two dishes.

    I don’t usually take time to make reviews but after this evening’s experience, I felt compelled to wave a big red flag over this place. DO NOT COME HERE ! We drove from London to celebrate Chinese New Year with the family and was really looking forward to having a delicious CNY dinner together. (We were a big group so booked 3 tables). We had even pre-ordered, as requested by management as they obviously foresaw it would be a very busy service. Disappointingly, when we arrived at 7pm for our allocated slot, our table was not ready and was not ready until 30 minutes or so later. When we were finally seated, we had to chase twice for our drinks order - which was simply a pot of jasmine tea, jug of water, J20 and a beer. Nothing too complicated! I wish I could say things improved but sadly our evening got worse. While 1 of 3 of our tables received all their food (albeit they had to return one dish as there was a long black hair in it!), two of our tables were going hungry. I noted a table who came in after us were getting their food before us so the kitchen was obviously erratic and disorganised!. Meanwhile there was a growing queue of impatient diners waiting for their reserved tables, and at one point I heard the manager tell a table to leave so the table could be released! Back to us though… We chased on several occasions for our order but after 1 hour and 20 minutes of waiting, the hungriness turned to ‘hangriness’. We ended up leaving and eating at McDonald’s as it was getting too late to find an alternative last minute venue. What a disappointing CNY dinner ruined by the greediness of management who had obviously over booked themselves. If they had not squeezed in diners over such a short period of time, and had not relied on a skeleton crew of service staff, they would have coped and won over a big group of loyal customers. Rest assured, we will not be visiting again and cannot recommend.

    I'm always told if you find Chinese people eating at a Chinese restaurant then the food is authentic. The food here is lovely- hot, fresh and tasty. We tried the mixed appetisers and duck and a few dishes with rice. The potions are very generous. Everything we ate was lovely. The service was good and the atmosphere was ok too.

    Almost exactly what you want from a dim sum (they do other stuff) restaurant. Some of the dishes had a slight twist (the custard baos had a pink filling) but you'd have to be a pretentious dim sum goer to turn them down. In a retail park so plenty of parking.

    Good place to have proper Chinese cuisine and the food was good. On the lunchtime I visited they were understaffed so service was slow because they were working hatdcat serving so many tables. Staff were still courteous and friendly despite being under a lot of pressure. Good value - lunch was £20 per head.

    Tremendously tasty and authentic food - have been here multiple times for dim sum and then recently for dinner and everything is delicious. It's very hard to find authentic Chinese in Wales and so people should definitely know about and frequent this spot. Very pleasant service too and of course simple parking.

    Absolutely perfect lunch! Dim sum was amazing and the sizzling beef with ginger and onion is a must have! Thank you for the food.

  • 1/5 Eden 6 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had in my whole life. The chips were soggy and undercooked, half of the food was inedible and looked like it had been dragged out from the sea. The beef was the worst, with no vegetables at all in it, oil over spilling in it. Nearly threw up whilst eating it

    Recent new owners but food is still above average and best in Cardiff in my opinion.

  • 4/5 DY C. 1 year ago on Google
    There are only two chinese restaurants in Cardiff that serve dim sum, the other is Happy Gathering. Good World is the better of the two, it has cleaner modern surroundings and generally easier to park outside and nearby. The prices are slightly higher but offer much better value and quality of the food is good. For example, the two roast meat and rice dish priced around £14.00 is a few quid more than Happy Gathering but you get double the portion of meat here. Service is acceptable. Food Standards Rating 3/5.
