    Outstanding is the only word that jumps into my mind. Food was unusual but tasted amazing, served hot delivered straight after it was cooked. I like the way, it isn’t just waiting for all meals to arrive at once.

    Overall a superb meal and so delicious and a breath of fresh air for Pontypridd. Only one fault, our drinks order was taken just once at the start and then nothing for the rest of the meal. Yes we could have called them over but the place was busy and the staff seemed a little under the pump. Will definitely return

    Absolutely stunning food, the flavours and quality of the ingredients was excellent. The honey chicken had a nice spicy kick, and the duck boa was delicious. The decor was calm and relaxing and there was a nice atmosphere. Janet came around to make sure everything was ok with our food and chatted which was so lovely. Highly recommend, we can't wait for our next visit.

    Outstanding, freshly cooked food. Went for a meal at lunchtime for my husband’s birthday. Had the crispy sweet and sour pork and Korean honey chicken - delicious. Washed down with a couple of bottles of Tsingtao. Friendly, efficient service, would highly recommend.

    The food is very good. Way better than usual Chinese. Service a little slow, but not a problem as acceptable for individually cooked fresh food. Rather noisy with a group of female revellers. Very friendly staff. A very pleasant eating experience, will definitely return.

    Lovely friendly and popular restaurant. The food was really delicious. The staff are lovely. The gluten free choices are limited but I expected that because of the nature of the food. They were very thorough helping me through that. Hope to return with more friends soon.

    Lovely restaurant fab food. 2 things let it down, service from waiting staff wasn't great the bill was practically thrown at us. Also table was directly beside radiator so one of the party practically cooked during the evening - we had to swap seats. We defi go back as food great.

    We loved our first visit to this cosy, little eatery. We weren't quite sure what to expect having only ever read about Janet's success at her small unit inside Ponty Market and her move into a slightly larger premises just outside of it. On arrival, almost all tables were full and there was a lovely buzz of chatter from the diners and we could see that the serving staff were rushing about trying to ensure all needs were met. We loved the fact that you could see the chefs doing their thing through an opening in a far wall. Despite a fairly small menu, all options were desirable and the final selection was quite difficult. We were very pleased with our individual menu choices which we washed down with the very easy to drink Tsingtao Lager and whilst we ate, we discussed how we wanted to try so many more dishes next time we visited as we watched the servers bring food to the other diners. Having moved into the area recently, we are always looking for new experiences to enable us to gather a list of favourite places to visit as often as we can. A lovely evening - great food, attentive service, fairly priced - we will definitely come back to Janet's!
