We had lunch here, and the food was delicious. The spicy dishes packed some heat, and the staff were friendly.

One of the best cheap eats in Cardiff. Cheap doesn’t mean poor quality, quite the opposite!

I’ve been to mini kitchen a few times now and the food is always amazing. It’s extremely good value for money and by far the best Asian restaurant on Salisbury road (and cathays). Really nice staff serving the tastiest food.

The hotpot bowl is big and yummy can ask for the spicy to be separated if you want! The server I had could barely speak English but Google translate would work well! Yummy!

Very delicious hot pots. We tried the beef and sea food hot pots and we really liked them. Great value for money. If you eat very spicy try medium, if you eat mild clarify you want it mild. Overall lovely experience.
