Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Up to last weekend had only had wonderful takeaways from ‘In Cafe’. However, last weekend I held a surprise ‘70th’ birthday celebration in the restaurant for my husband with 12 of our closest friends. Grace was very accommodating and she and her team were very attentive to all our needs. Our vegetarian friends loved that there is an extensive choice for vegans/vegetarians as well. The food we had was absolutely delicious and everyone agreed that it was one of the best Chinese meals they had eaten. Highly recommend the In Cafe. Thanks Grace for helping to make my husbands birthday a night to remember

Been the this place a number of times and is our No.1 place for Chinese food and hospitality. The Food, Staff & Service is without doubt the best we've ever had. I can't give you a favourite dish, and that's because EVERY single dish I've tried is so incredibly amazing, fresh, so flavourful, and cooked perfectly. We recently celebrated our sons birthday here (18 of us) !! That's how confident we were that all our family and friends would love it...and they did (all of them) saying how amazing this place was. The staff are so attentive and polite, the service is on point, and the chef(s) must be from another planet. !! If we could give this place unlimited stars, then we would. Thank you to Grace and everyone here for making this visit and all the other visits so pleasurable. See you all again .. Very soon. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The cafe was very accommodating as we were late for our booking time by 40 minutes due to traffic. Good recommendations for dishes and the food was delicious and authentic Cantonese dishes from Hong Kong. Will go again.

The food quality is really disappointed me when compared with those positive comments from the web. I am curious why those people said the baked tomato pork chop rice is authentic hk style? They are not using jasmine rice and the taste is absolutely not acceptable. The seafood dishes are not good as well, most of the clam flesh is already mixed with the sauce and the fried squid is overcooked. Is the original chef is not attending the kitchen that night? Besides, the owner is more enthusiastic in serving the local customers and she is showing off her fluent English. Actually, I feel not quite welcomed when we step in the cafe when we are speaking HK Cantonese.

Having ordered home food delivery from In Cafe many times, I decided it was finally time we tried eating in. We booked a table yesterday evening and ordered a selection from both the main and vegan menus. Every dish was superb. In Cafe really stands out for the choices they offer veggies and vegans... there are as many dishes available as there are on the standard menu. We particularly enjoyed the vegan salt and pepper squid, and vegan chicken balls. My dad loved his sweet and sour (real) chicken, and the special spicy fried rice with a combo of vegan chicken/pork/beef/seafood was absolutely superb. The staff did not stop smiling the whole time we were there, and it was clear a number of other groups who came in were regulars. Loved it and will be back time and time again I'm sure. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’ve been here a few times now and also had the food delivered and every time it has been absolutely perfect! Not only do they have a full vegan version of the menu (vegan chicken, beef, prawn, duck, pork) our family also said the meat options were fantastic. My partner’s grandad loved it so much we took him for his 80th birthday. As someone who has lived in Hong Kong he said the food was very authentic. The staff are so attentive and very friendly. The portions are very large and we always come away with leftovers. The only downside is that you can’t try everything!!!

In Cafe is one of my favourite restaurants in Cardiff. From the majestic and flavourful food to the wonderful and helpful staff, every visit to In Cafe leaves me feeling full and with a smile on my face. As a vegetarian it’s so wonderful that In Cafe offers vegan alternatives for everything on their menu. This means you’re never spoilt for choice and there’s always something new to try alongside my regular favourites.

Me and my son went to this place for the 1st time yesterday before a gig in town. I'd heard some very good reports from others so we gave it a go. Wow !! This has to be by a mile the best Chinese food and service I've ever had. The welcome was amazing when we arrived. Everything on the menu looked and sounded amazing and the food was the best, most tastiest I've eaten for a long long time. We had the Salt & Chilli Spare Ribs (Incredible), the Lettuce Wraps (stunning) Hong Kong style Chilli Rice (OMG) and the Crispy Shredded beef ( knockout). Still keen to try more after that we decided to go for the French Toast Peanut Butter and Maple Syrup with Ice Cream dessert and OMG !! The best dessert I've ever had also. The service was 1st class, even one of the chefs came out to speak to us. 100% going back, Again and Again 10/10

The food was excellent both in quality and quantity and at a very reasonable cost. The owner was very pleasant and friendly. Best Chinese we have had for a very long time. Will be returning very soon. Started with crispy duck and pancakes for 4. Duck was so nice. Then between the 4 of us we shared a variety of dishes including king prawn with noodles, chicken with noodles, beef with ginger and spring onion, black beef with potatoes and a large pork fried rice with 2 bowls of curry sauce. All the food was served nice and hot and was all delicious.

My teenaged daughter is vegan and we were traveling through Cardiff. Saw the reviews here and decided to try it out. My daughter was in heaven! We shared the vegan crispy duck starter, and moved on to the vegan beef vermicelli (clear noodles) with satay sauce and Ma Po vegan beef/chicken/pork. I am not vegan and was very impressed with the textures and delicious flavors. My daughter thought it was the best vegan food she has had, and I can honestly say that it was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. So vegan or not, this is GREAT food!

Ordered a delivery - asked for light battered king prawns.. asked 3 times if prawns were lightly battered.. and they said yes but arrived heavily battered!?! Horrible!! They said delivery in 40 mins and took 1.5 hours. Only took cash 🤔 over priced and disappointed… !

Thank you for your feedback and for ordering from our restaurant. I apologise again for the misunderstanding regarding your prawn balls order. As I explained over the phone, we only have one version of the dish on our menu and do not currently offer a lightly battered option for takeaway. However, we should have been more clear in communicating this when taking your order. We do accept card payments on our website / apps ordering for delivery or collection. For security reasons, we just don’t take customer card details over the phone if orders placed over the phone. Thank you for taking your time to provide us with your feedback. We value all our customers and strive to provide the best possible service. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again the future.

Wow, well, In Cafe, we just love this place! It is a family run restaurant and take away, which we were lucky enough to find back in 2019 when they first opened. Since then we have been enjoying a meal with them nearly every week and the food is some of the best we have ever eaten. The family who own this restaurant are so welcoming and such lovely people, you can tell their passion is 100% dedicated to serving their customers the most fresh and tasty food they can make and OMG do they make good food! It was last night really, sitting in there having our weekly meal, when I realised how fabulous their Vegan menu is. They have taken the time to make a complete oriental Vegan menu, it is pages long, there are so many dishes to choose from. I overheard a lady saying last night, wow, there are pages and pages of Vegan dishes, they didn't know what to pick there was so much. I am not a Vegan myself, but I know from a friend of mine who is, the menu choices are never that many, so to have a complete Vegan menu, filled with Hong Kong delights, in my opinion pushes In Cafe to a place where other restaurants are yet to venture. If you haven't tried the food yet at In Cafe, whatever your preference, Vegan or Original menu, then I would thoroughly recommend a trip to 76 Crwys Road, you will not be disappointed and as it is Hong Kong style there are lots of interesting dishes that you just won't find in the usual Chinese, all of which are outstanding. Five big stars all the way for this wonderful place!

Good food, great vegan menu. Staff were really friendly and very helpful re allergies. Food took a while but we were a pretty big group (13) so maybe if you're in a bigger group, ordering ahead might be an idea

We just ordered from here late night, 30 minutes before close, and the food we got was clearly leftovers from the day. 2 items had gone bad and smelled rotten, went straight in the bin. If it was 1 you could say "oh it was a mistake", but 2 entire main dishes both smelling like the bottom of a garbage can is not permissable.
