  “We’ve had dim sum here twice. Fantastic food, full of flavour. Great friendly service. Everything was delicious but I especially recommend the crispy turnip cake (no. 22) and the rice noodle roll with pork (no. 42).”

  “We were in Cardiff for the day and fancied dim sum and ended up in the Happy Gathering. I was greeted warmly by the owner in Cantonese. It was a Thursday lunchtime so the restaurant was a little quiet however positively reassured by a table of elderly Cantonese locals having lunch. Service was efficient and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and definitely authentic. I must say that the har gow and turnip cakes were the best I’ve tasted outside of HK. Excellent and I definitely recommend.”

  “Food was of a good quality and quite tasty. Portions were quite small, especially the Pork Lettuce Wrap starter that comes with 4 large lettuce leaves, but not enough "food" to get the flavour. Ordered 4 mains + rice + noodles + chips between 2 adults and a teenager that doesn't wat much, and we ate the whole lot without being full. Good, but not as good as Summer Palace”

  “We previously had a good experience here, but this visit was very disappointing. The food tasted old and wasn’t fresh, and overall the meal didn’t meet expectations. Hopefully it was just an off day, as our last visit was much better.”

  “We ordered 5 dim sums + 1 noodle, all are very good, brought us the memory in Hong Kong. The fried prawn cake is highly recommended! The owner is super kind and gifted us mandarins for Lunar New Year 大吉大利.”

This Chinese restaurant offers an authentic dining experience paired with excellent customer service in a warm, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The staff is quick and attentive, ensuring that your needs are met promptly throughout your visit. Dimsum menu spot on!”

  “Being a Cantonese born and raised in HK, this is an authentic Cantonese restaurant and one of the best Dim Sum places that I have been. You will not be disappointed! Make sure you go with a large group of friends or family so you can taste as many dishes as you could.”

  “My favourite Chinese restaurant in Cardiff for several reasons. I love the welcome we get from the owners, always smiling and extremely polite. Service is extremely efficient with minimal waiting time. Food is served under hot plates so stays warm so you can take your time. It’s the kind of place where you know your food will always taste as delicious as it looks! Every single time! Highly recommend for an authentic experience of Chinese food”

  “Speaking from someone grew up in Hong Kong like me, the dim sum are quite authentic especially the egg tarts which are made with puff pastry!!! Although the general atmosphere and decoration is bit old fashioned and dim, it is surprisingly clean and tidy. Would definitely revisit if go to Cardiff again.”

  “Had my first Dim Sum experience at Happy Gathering yesterday and wow was it good. The Cheung Fun (we had the beef and the pork), Roast pork puffs, Har Gow and Custard tarts were up there with some of the best I've had. Turnip cake, crispy prawn wontons and Char Siu buns very good. Ham Sui Gok decent but a tiny bit oily. Service was very good and staff were friendly. Tsingtao was nice and cold and served in a branded glass. The meal was excellent value for money with most of the dishes costing under £5. We had a feast of a meal (12 dishes and a couple of beers each) for £40 a head with tip. Will definitely be returning to work my way through the rest of the Dim Sum menu (Dim Sum served everyday until around 1730)”
