there are some more authentic choices on that menu for sure, but I wont be ordering off piste. Is it a good option or go for the old favourite Chinese restaurants. My daughter wants to try the Vietnam in the uplands but son won't go for that. The only reason he will go to the Chinese is because they serve ribs.

Menu looks decent, not tired it there myself. If you go post a review for us on here.

The one in the marina is supposed to be really good.

Not sure you have a point in all honesty. The menu looks good and the prices are reasonable.

Food looks really nice. I'd love to know if it's worth a visit or not. Apparently you can bring your own drink.

Some places still have the cheek to charge corkage.
Take a bag of cans in with you and open them yourself.
Job done.

That info would have been brilliant for tonight but we had already gone out and missus cancelled as thought there was no alcohol allowed and we ended up going to Croeso in Mumbles. That was bang average. Since seeing the above Smurph we have already looked at going to Sichuan another night. One of my wife's staff says it is really good. Will check on whether we can take in a bottle of plonk as paying £30 for a £10 bottle pi1sses me off

The location is good, the decor was is funky and warming. The beer isn't overpriced but the food was bang average no complaints, just bang average. I would have gone to Steve's favourite restaurant (the Plough) as they do a good deal on a Friday but my daughter didnt want to go to there
