Yakitori#1’s supremely good sushi is a welcome addition to Cardiff Bay.
Next time you’re visiting, ditch the chains and check out this excellent independent.
It was a lovely place to go for some Japanese food. The place is clean and tidy and well presented. The staff were always available to help and advise on the food on the menu. The service was very good and the food came out fresh and quickly cooked. For me personally, I think the noodles dish was a little me small as opposed to the rice dish, which was a very good size. The quality of all the food we had was really good and we would highly recommend it. It is a little bit like wagamammas, but with more quality. The staff were great, and we would go back again to try different dishes.

We stopped by this place for a quick dinner. Plenty of available tables for us to choose from when we got there. Food was OK, my favourite being the chicken katsu curry. Nice curry with juicy chicken cutlet. I also liked the salad with sesame dressing that came with it. Ramen was a bit unorthodox, but still good. The maki, however, was disappointing. For the price, I expected better. Very thin slices of fish and it could have been rolled a bit better. Overall I think it may be be better to go for the non-ramen hot food selection. Not bad, but a bit pricey.
Lovely Japanese restaurant, the sushi is fresh and nicely prepared on the plate.
Nice place to stop for lunch. Ordered a sushi roll from the £10.95 lunch special which was a decent portion and tasted great. The yuzu mitzu drink (not included in the lunch deal) was sweet and refreshing, and the wasabi was a good amount of spicy but not too overpowering. Wait time was quite quick as it wasn’t too busy when we went. Atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were polite. Was an especially hot day so could have done with some air conditioning but overall had a good experience.
Lovely friendly and efficient service and the sushi was incredible. Good value for money too. Highly recommended and well be back soon.
My husband and I have been going here since 2016 and the food and service never disappoints. The staff are just lovely and the atmosphere is always very inviting, you can even see the kitchen as the food is being prepared!
Over the years I've brought many friends here for days out or special occasions and not even one friend has had any complaints.
We always look forward to our next visit! And thanks for bringing back the Summer Lovin' maki roll, it was my favourite 🥰
Absolutely delicious food the stock in the ramen is proper home made chicken stock with such flavour. Really good quality, fresh ingredients and well priced. Great place will come again! We finished every little bit on the plates!
Food was great and we were able to order quickly. It took a while to get the bill and the waitress stood over us whilst we were asked about tipping by the machine which I’m not a fan of so pressed 0% in a panic.
Having a light lunch for my first visit in Cardiff. A pleasant experience with yummy Japanese meals.
Came in for our last evening in Cardiff.
We had a main each and some sushi and gyoza on the side to share.
The food was absolutely delicious! The ramen broth was so flavourful and fresh, and the sushi was possibly the best I’ve had anywhere.
Would 100% recommend coming to try this place, the service and attention to detail is brilliant. The story behind the restaurant is also really lovely - had a look on their website and it definitely was a deciding factor in us dining there.
