"I was so excited to go there as the restaurant has excellent reviews. I really wanted to try their sushi even before the pandemic. Disappointing wasn’t sufficient. I don’t consider it’s Japanese restaurant because I don’t think if sushi is served the restaurant is Japanese. There is no Japanese person and no Japanese style service available. Don’t take me wrong, I’m not insisting without Japanese staff it can’t be Japanese restaurant. There is no properly cooked japanese food and all over food quality is very poor. First of all, I can tell with confidence all supposed to warm dishes are just microwaved. As soon as we ordered those dishes very familiar microwave sound started. supposed to be steamed chicken gyoza came floating in water. I can tell those are definitely frozen food from most probably certain Chinese cash and carry wholesale store. Spinach was incredibly tough. It may be good for you if you are on extremely high fibre diet but I felt I had become a cow. Sushi was another huge disappointment. Quality was poor although eatable. But I would rather prefer to eat that quality sushi at one of the famous chain restaurant’s branch in Victoria Street. Because it’d be more spacious and more importantly cleaner. But the worst part was when we ordered CURRY UDON! The waitress didn’t understand what we were asking because she pronounce it CA-RAY UDON and insisted she had asked what we water was noodle in soup. In my opinion even curry udon is noodle in curry soup. But by the time we had realised we made a big mistake and decided to leave as quick as we could, so didn’t argue. And when the bill came we just paid the amount. it stated that ‘no service charge is included’ and some Korean that neither of us didn’t understand. Since we left no tip the waitress suddenly became very rude. She even didn’t bother to say good-bye! I will never go there again and wouldn’t recommend anybody who would like to eat decent Japanese food."

"Open every day for lunch and dinner, this hard working Japanese restaurant deserves every ounce of the success it has. The food here is delicious, colourful, and relatively nutritious, while the setting is fairly simple, clean and informal with long tables and benches often shared with neighbouring groups. On the menu there's a choice of authentic Bento Boxes, Ramen, Yakisoba udon, Sashimi, Rice Gohan and various salads and side dishes pretty much everything you'd expect from a Japanese restaurant in the UK. With Bento Boxes from about £10 upwards, and Ramen from about £7, it's very reasonably priced as Japanese restaurants go. The only thing they don't do well is desserts but that's a common theme across all Japanese restaurants I've been to in the UK with Tenkaichi offering just one choice: a Japanese red bean pancake roll served with a plum sauce. It has firmly established itself as one of Cardiff's best and most reasonably priced Japanese restaurants, and as a result is hugely popular at lunchtimes as well as in the evenings so you may have to wait a short while for a seat at times. They also have a separate (but similar) takeaway menu."

"I used to go to Benihana regularly, Toptable did deals where you could have the traditional dinner for £20 so I have tried every variety of it. I have always enjoyed it and its a nice place to take guests who are in town as you are entertained while you eat Inclusive of the traditional dinners you get soup, salad, stir fried veggies, a prawn appetizer your choice of meat and rice. Each course is small but because there are so many you are full by the end. It is good quality ingredienta cooked simply and I have enjoyed it every time The chefs are really good and cook on the hibachi grill at your table, they do amazing tricks and are really friendly. The black cod and wagyu steak are...read more"

"After the hype and interest my friends and I felt lucky to get tickets and were looking forward to the evening. The highlight was the greeting from Flash the reindeer a real crowd pleaser and pull even for those older children! Sadly it went down hill from there and we were all thoroughly disappointed with the lack of stalls and variety offered. The Xmas floristry displays whilst beautiful were we felt overpriced and as a result didn't see any sold which is sad based on the effort. Food and drinks vouchers overpriced for what was available (limited) Great to see the Brain Tumour raffle was successful. More stalls, better affordable variety and no voucher system. out of ten sadly 2 was expecting it to be so much better from Four Seasons who normally do things extremely well."

"2nd Time visiting. First time we went it was a little gem. But from my 2nd visit I feel like the place has dropped it standards. When we arrived we was sat down near the door, very cold outside so every time someone came in there was a cold breeze. The restaurant was very cold. Drinks took 20mins to come other tables got served drinks before us and they come after us. as we ordered just soft drinks. Asked for cola zero, received normal coke. Food wise cant complain was good, taste was good, i feel like the portion sizes have reduced a lot. Did not appreciate the service charge that was added to the bill. I refuse to pay that. Maybe I will give it another try. But not anytime soon. Thank you."

"Dropped into the empty restaurant for a table for 2, was told they had a table that they'd have to have back in 1 hour. Got given menus and a few minutes later asked for our drinks order, they only had a white wine that was available by the bottle and we were discouraged from ordering that because we had such little time to drink it. Food was good, but the waitress came over to clear plates while we were still eating. We were out in 45 minutes, having paid a £50 bill. We left a mostly empty restaurant and will not bother them again."

"I had a virgin experience bought as a Christmas gift for a 3 course a la carts meal and champagne cocktail in the Silk restaurant.Upon arrival it seems only 1 of those 3 statements appears to be true. We were told our meal wouldn’t be in the silk restaurant but in another restaurant Wala but would be served the Silk restaurant menu.We got in the restaurant and saw only 2 other sets of diners.We chose where we wanted to sit and were given menus and the champagne cocktail arrived. The menu was disappointing to say the least.Not many choices and from reading other reviews hasn’t been updated for a long time. We both chose the scallops to start, it arrived and was nice enough although very small portions.We both had the Thai chicken curry for main as this was the best option on the menu.It arrived, nothing special, boiled white rice in a heart shaped dish and the curry, no accompaniments.We had to ask to order drinks, the waiter didn’t ask if everything was ok or if we needed/wanted anything else. Then dessert arrived.We had both chosen the mandarin cheesecake as there were only 2 options and cheesecake is my husbands favourite dessert.What we got was a slither of cheap frozen cheesecake with a soggy base and virtually no taste.My husband didn’t eat his and when the waiter came to clear the plates told him how disappointing it was. The whole experience was a let down from start to finish really.You’re not getting the ‘experience’ being sold by Virgin as you don’t even get to eat in the right restaurant and the food is passable at best. The whole meal lasted less than an hour and we couldn’t wait to leave. No atmosphere or ambience .The staff don’t seem to care that things aren’t very good and I would tell people not to dine here or buy this ‘experience’ from Virgin either. All in all very poor and disappointing"
