Food was delicious and the quantity of food was really good. I ordered the vegetarian Singapore noodles with black beans, aubergine chilli sauce with it but they gave me back beans with pepper sauce, which was still good. My friends ordered a portion of fried rice and a sauce to go with it. However, I think they could have avoided ordering so much and the rice and noodles portion would have been shared. The place was crowded as I thought it won't be. Looked like a popular place. Would recommend it.

Excellent set menu for 2 eaten.
Been wanting to try here for months but always full when I ring and I was lucky to get a table for Friday night
Will definitely go back

Very disappointing. Simple changes to dishes were met with "no", the staff were a little abrupt, the food is not what it used to be. Rice was served in open bowls, so it goes cold quickly. All dishes tasted similar, the vegetable lettuce wraps tasted of nothing whatsoever. Just so disappointing, after many great visits in previous years.

It was heavenly... I haven't had a meal like that for many years. We were a table of 6 people and ate the most expensive fixed menu. We'll worth it. Prawns, crispy beef, lemon chicken, the most tender beef ever, peking duck... Plus much more. Can't wait to go again...

Fancied a takeaway this evening and decided on Summer Palace as I had heard and read great reviews about it. Small family run business In Llandaff village.

Ordering was easy via phone (as some places, there’s loads of confusion due to my dietary requirements!) The lady was able to explain and suggest dishes which is always a positive.

The lady at the counter was really polite and friendly when collecting our takeaway. Service was efficient.

All dishes were hot and tasty. Favourites of ours were the fish ginger spring onion, duck with beansprouts and my kids absolutely loved the noodles. Definitely a returning customer!

Been coming here since I was a kid. The food is always amazing, just check everything is in the bag if you order a takeaway lol. My personal favourite - pekinese spare ribs!

I was looking forward to this takeaway for a long time but I found it to be disappointing. The pancake rolls aren't very nice, they lack flavour and dont taste or look restaurant made. The prawn crackers are very good as are the sweet and sour chicken balls. I prefer swapping my sweet and sour sauce for bbq sauce but they told me they dont sell bbq sauce?? So they suggested peking sauce which they wouldn't swap, I had to pay an extra £1.65. (They still gave me the sweet and sour sauce?) When eating the meal, they either gave me 2 sweet and sour sauces or the Peking sauce tasted the same...... so I had no sauce at all to go with my food. The yung chow fried rice was tasteless and was boiled more than fried, the beansprouts were also tasteless and together they looked anemic and tasted bland. See picture. It was also expensive. 7.25 for chicken balls! .... they also told me they only sell rice in one size carton which is large, they are not, they are the small size so not enough to share. I had to finish off my rice with sesame oil and soya sauce due to the blandness. Doubt I'll eat there again.
