"I was unhappy when I visited this restaurant before, but this time I had a great experience. I ordered a good quality pasta and a Pepsi for around £5 with a discount, and the service has improved since my last visit. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and disorganized, but it was understandable as they were dealing with a high volume of orders both in person and through Deliveroo. Despite having to wait about 20 minutes for my pasta and hot chocolate, it was a decent meal to start the day. The prices are reasonable, although slightly on the expensive side. The 15% student discount was a nice touch. I haven't tried the bagels yet, but I heard they're popular. In short, the pasta is decent and reasonably priced, but it's probably best to visit during off-peak hours to avoid the rush."

Have been here on several occasions now. Very friendly staff who are always happy to personally help you when picking your order. Your food is cooked in front of you and personalised with salad and cheese to fit your taste. I found the staff member Lauren M especially helpful when ordering. There is also student discount of 15% available.

The pasta at this restaurant is delicious and high quality, yet very affordable, especially for students. Their small lunch deal is a great value and fills me up easily. The breakfast bagels are fantastic and perfect for a late brunch. This is a great spot for daily breakfast with excellent coffee. A must-try if you live nearby or study at Cardiff University.

I had a fantastic dining experience yesterday afternoon. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious, and they were able to accommodate exchanging sauces and ingredients for alternative options (I had a meat dish with bolognese sauce). The restaurant is beautiful and has a cozy atmosphere. The prices are reasonable, perfect for a nice meal for around £5. I highly recommend this place, it's a hidden gem. View menu

"It was the most bizarre experience dining here. First when we arrived in the restaurant, our group set up was that there was someone on each end who was sitting facing an empty chair on the other side of the table. Upon enquiry we understood it was a covid measure, however never had any other restaurants requesting such seating arrangements in the past 20 months. We ordered two split pots, a non-spicy broth for one side of the pot and a spicy broth for the other side. The staff came to confirm that we wanted spicy/non-spicy in each pot. Yes, we said. To our shock when the pots came, one pot was spicy/spicy on both side, and the other was non-spicy/non-spicy on both sides. This was after the staff had came by to confirm that we wanted a spicy/non-spicy set-up, and in the usual situation a person wanting a spicy broth would not have asked for a split pot. We raised this to the staff and were clearly unhappy about it, though did not insist on having the broths changed around. What happened next made it the most awkward and uncomfortable dining experience ever. From where we were sitting, we could hear the owner reprimanding the staff for the error, throughout our meal. We understand mistakes occur and if the owner was unhappy about the mistake and genuinely wanted to apologise, taking the initiative to change the broth to the right setup, or a complimentary drink or dish would have gone a long way. But no, he chose to reprimand the staff within our hearing for the whole dinner (which didn't help the situation one bit and made the experience worse! . We felt sorry for the staff. Even with the hospitality shortage, that was a completely wrong way to help the staff improve, nor help retain them in the long run. I don't remember anything about the food, although photos did show a good range to choose from. At the end of the meal we each received a box of hello panda, which might have helped, if not for the fact they were expired. All in all, would not recommend."
