I can't believe no one has reviewed Uncle Sam's yet! It's a bit of a classic American fast food…read moretakeaway right in the heart of Studentville, on Crwys Road (in Cathays/Roath). It has been going for years, and has managed to hold on to its fine reputation for decent quality and value for money throughout that time. It IS rather tiny, however, so it's possible you could easily walk past and miss it - but once you've been there once for food, you'll be a complete convert. Basically, they do American fast food - mainly burgers. It's not healthy, and it's not complicated, but what they do they do very well. The belly-busting All American 1/2 pound burger with fries and a tub of blue cheese sauce seems to go down well with meat-eaters, while there's a generously proportioned veggie option for people like me who don't eat beef. They also do chicken and pizza, but to be honest if you go to Uncle Sam's it should be for a burger, because that's what they do best. Excellent value for money!

Best chicken in Cardiff, I repeat for effect Uncle Sam's is the best chicken in Cardiff. I used to…read morelive in the States and as anyone who has been there or is from the U.S will tell you bigger is better! Why? It just is and Uncle Sam's certainly lives up to its American namesake. The restaurant is tiny and like other reviews have said it so easy to miss, so its beggars belief how such a small place can churn out such big and hearty portions of food. The price is ok but that is completely offset by taste of the food, as the juicy and flavourful chicken engulfs your taste buds. Of course chicken is not for everyone and they do have plenty of other dishes on the menu such as huge burgers (which have appeared to been given a real shout in other reviews) and pizza but honestly I personally think Uncle Sam's rules the roost!

This is what I consider to be the best fish and chip shop in the Cardiff bay area. It's all to easy…read moreto be drawn into one of the franchises that are around thinking that you will get top quality fish and chips. The reality is that this small shop tucked quietly around the corner from Mermaid Quay offers the crispiest of batter and the best cooked chips you will find in this part of town. You may well find yourself queuing up outside the door for service but if that doesn't tell you something, when you get inside the door and see how well kept the food preparation areas are, and then you are greeted by the friendly staff who are clearly rushed off of their feet, you will notice that the prices are very reasonable. This is a locally owned store rather than a large franchise and the quality of the freshly cooked fish really shows the difference. If you're in the bay and want this kind of take away food then you should definitely make the 2 minute journey away from the bay to give them a try.

The service also wasn't good whatsoever. I ordered fries then said I wanted to order onion rings instead. Then, the cashier woman didn't give me my receipt. When I checked my card history I realized they charged me for fries and onion rings. I had to go back and confront them that they double charged me and only then did they offer to send me back the money for the fries they double charged me for. They purposely didn't give me my receipt because it showed that they double charged me on their part. Unethical business.

Once, upon opening the lush smelling bag, my life literally flashed before my eyes! I thought i had dies. Award winning, Amazingly perfect Albony fish shop holds a dear place in my grease covered heart. The one bit of beef i have with this place is the sheer amount of people, day in day out have exactly the same idea as myself to get their supper fix here. You've always got to queue but my bloody god is it worth it! (Like i said a piece of heaven in a box!) There's something super special about having your fish and chips in a box, like your getting a gift, which is pretty much what you are getting. Go on treat yourself, i'll see you there!

One word: Poppadoms…read more Not what you would expect from a chinese restaurant, but amazing poppadoms. The best poppadoms I've ever had anyway. I think it may be testament to the quality and cleanliness of the oil in their fryer. But really good poppadoms. And, here's the best bit, they're free! I know! Free poppadoms! Unfortunately only if you spend over £10, but then who manages to order a chinese meal without it being that much. Now, this is a traditional British Chinese takeaway. You know, the really heavy, gloopy, greasy, salty loveliness that is a good Friday night chinese takeaway. The sort you eat til you burst. And bursting is a real possibility when you see the portion sizes! I always try and fool myself and say that I'll just get Singapore Noodles, cos its smaller than a meal and separate noodles. And then it arrives (they deliver) in a double size container! Although I like to 'forget' this the next time. The prawn toasts are amazing as well. Whole slices of white bread, deep fried and really good and hot prawny filling. Mmmmmm. If you want a feed, you want it delivered and you don't want to move afterwards (and a partial to left over chinese for breakfast, look em up and give em a call. Oh, did I mention the poppadoms?

I eat way more than I should do and it still feeds me for two days, even when I only order two dishes. The noodles are some of the best I've ever had, the chips are great, the meat is always tender, and if you order over £10 or £20, you get free poppadoms or prawn crackers respectively. Their menu is huge and they have a wide variety of vegetarian meals. They're also great with fussy eaters, happy to take out any ingredients you don't, or can't eat. They deliver to nearly everywhere in Cardiff and I've never waited more than 45 minutes for an order. And their food comes in those nice plastic tubs rather than tin trays, keeping it nice and warm while you're eating, and ideal for putting in the fridge to eat the next day.
