    I did not like the food at all it was disgusting and my food was colder than ice I'm very upset…read morewith the way your staff treated me it's not on I'm very unimpressed and will be speaking to your manger thank you Ruby

    I'm running on fumes after a long travel day and after a power nap I was craving spicy food…read more A quick search showed Gigi's with rave reviews and Chinese sounded like it would fulfill my cravings. The restaurant is a short 6 minutes walk from the Marriott and the walk itself was a beautiful stroll past boats, tall apartments and quaint brick flats with little patios off of them. I walked into Gigi's and didn't see anyone at first. But I walked up to the bar and was greeted warmly the moment they saw me. Since I ordered takeaway so I could fat girl it in pjs in my hotel room, I don't have any comments regarding service. But being greeted with smiles makes me think service for sit down will be just as welcoming. My order was ready to go and smelled amazing. I got to my room and realized they hadn't put in utensils--oops. I'm so used to places in the US who throw in enough utensils for 4 people based on the amount of food I order hahaha. So make sure you ask for utensils if you're not taking your food back home. I ordered the cucumber salad, the Lazy Chicken(dry fried chicken no sauce but with plenty of kick due to the 3 types of peppers in the dish) and YuXiang aubergine with pork (saucy, mildly spicy eggplant with ground pork). WOW. I'm taking a break from shoving my dinner into my face to write this review. First impression is the food isn't greasy. It's flavorful, the eggplant is perfectly cooked, and the chicken crisp. I really enjoyed my cucumber salad which had a mellow, slightly soy flavor that offset the spices nicely. Everything (including rice) was under 25£. I was able to order online through their website and pay which was really easy and made pick up very smooth. If you're local or a visitor I highly recommend the food from Gigi's. I really like the fact that they don't use MSG and the food was non greasy. The portions are generous and the prices fair.

    Visiting Swansea and popped into the quite unprepossessing looking Sichuan Savour on the…read morerecommendation of our hosts. The welcome was warm and genuine in what is at first glance essentially a local Chinese Takeaway with tables. There are, somewhat unusually, 3 menus to look at, the first being the general Cantonese menu, familiar to fans of take aways and restaurants throughout the land. The second menu lists the more unusual Sichuan dishes, usually characterised by the liberal use of both chillies and the famously fiery and numbing Sichuan peppercorns. This menu contained more authentic regional cooking with hot pots and more esoteric ingredients such as various offal based dishes. The Sichuan menu provided our group with beautifully cooked and intensely flavoured dishes. There was also a small typed Specials menu from which I chose Home Made Prawn Balls in Soup. When ordering I was warned that it was spicy and asked the heat to be toned down. The gigantic soup bowl came loaded with deliciously light prawn balls in a savoury soup that had obviously been made from a very fine home made stock. It also came loaded with a good couple of handfuls of dried and fresh chillies. In the event it was relatively easy to skim off the chillies and what was left was one of the most memorable Chinese dishes I have had. Absolutely stunning, incredibly good value for money and with a pleasant friendly atmosphere. This place is apparently very popular with Chinese students in term time, so be be prepared for a wait or take advantage of the summer and try it now. Highly recommended!
