Also I really liked how the tables where so separated there not to close so you are taking over the person next to you with that in mind the music was also a very nice volume I could speak however in the silence of eating it was nice .I would 100% go again

Hands down the BEST sushi you're going to be able to find in Cardiff and the most reminiscent of my…read moreJapanese-food-loving home of California. Imagine my shock upon finding a sushi place that does amazing crazy American-style rolls in Cardiff! A firm recommend from me. *NOTE: You MUST book in advance. The restaurant is tiny and extremely popular. We booked in advance for my birthday meal and it was filled to the brim. We witness the host needing to turn away quite a few people who showed up without a reservation. If you don't have a reservation, you might end up disappointed. --- ~ Atmosphere: It's a tiny little restaurant with cramped seating. It's nice and clean, but I wouldn't recommend it for large groups at all. ~ Customer Service: The only downside. Don't get me wrong, everyone was very nice but I think it was understaffed when we showed up. There was only one waitress and she acted as a host/server/waitress for an entire filled-to-the-brim restaurant. She was always busy with something that it would take quite a while to flag her down. It took quite a while before our orders were finally taken but from that point the food didn't take too long to arrive. ~ Food: Fantastic. We ordered a selection of different Maki Rolls which came on cute bridges used as platters. My recommendation would definitely be Yellow Dragon, which is a roll of salmon, avocado and cucumber topped with melted cheese. For £7.80 it was well worth it. The prices were fair so it was fun to order a bunch of rolls to see which are the favourites. I left full and without a massive hole in my wallet. Will definitely be making a return trip! TIP: Don't skip the mochi for dessert!

Plenty of variety to keep even the fussiest of eaters satisfied. From pork and chive dumplings to chicken satay to vegetable tempura. Great if you're going as a group as you can get lots of dishes and share them. Everything's very tongue in cheek- You each have your own menu with your name at the top and you tick off what you would like with additional options at the bottom such as 'keep the drinks coming', 'bury us in prawn crackers' or 'we're having an intimate one, leave us be' The cocktails are out of this world and combine unusual flavours such as red peppers, ginger and honey or melon liqueur and vodka cranberry. Will be visiting again!

A lot of places only seem to do sushi and noodles which is fine is thats what you like but Japanese is so much more than that, its its pretty good for you too.

They do great lunch time specials and offer a discount for take aways.

I normally go when it's quiet as I'm normally dinning alone and I have never felt out of place. I have sat at the kitchen bar and also in the main seating area. I've not experience the chef cook in front of me at the kitchen bar. I have experienced this type of cooking in Glasgow before. I should go on a busier night to see the chefs in action. I always opt for a teriyaki dish, I've had chicken and duck, both absolutely beautiful from the Charcoal Grill section. I normally also have sushi, tuna Maguro being my favourite. Their tempura is also absolutely delicious. All this talking about it is making me hungry. Hehe! I can't wait to go back when I head down to visit next year. So, if you're ever stuck for somewhere to go for some decent food, head to Yo-Ji.

NOTES: ~ This review is based on my experience on a Saturday night, so it was relatively busy. Ambiance: This place is really clean and fancy. It could get pretty crowded so I recommend calling ahead to make a reservation if need be (for large parties). Thankfully, I only had a party of 2 so it was pretty easy to accommodate and needed to wait only about 15 minutes or so. On the inside, with all the glitz and glamour, Cosmo is definitely made for a special night out to treat yourself every now and again. Customer Service: From what I've seen, before you go in while you're still in the queue, they could get a bit short with you and impatient. However once you finally sit down, the staff is attentive and respectful. I guess just grit your teeth through the service until you finally get in? Food: This is why I love Cosmo. It goes for a pan-Asian Fusion experience with cuisine from all around the world - Chinese, Indian, etc. I'm a huge fan because I've been seriously lacking authentic non-Chop Suey Chinese food in Swansea and Cosmo definitely delivers. My recommendations: ~ Potstickers. They're little nuggets of meat wrapped in flour and pan-fried. Delicious and juicy on the inside. The chef here does some of the best potstickers I've had! ~ Duck w/ Pancakes. Get it with Hoisin Sauce (a brown slightly sweet thick sauce), cucumber, and wrap it all up in a pancake. Delicious! ~ They make really really good battered chicken on a stick. ~ The queue for large dishes such as the lobster, salmon, etc takes a VERY long time so it depends whether or not you want to go. It's really well made though and fresh. ~ Get the dim sum. They're in round wooden containers and the custard buns are delicious. I'd definitely come here again.

The food…read morewasn't just your typical british-asian food, there were some more interesting authentic dishes, I'm honestly sick of asian restaurants and takeaways serving a version of asian food that couldn't be farther from the real thing. There was a wide selection of Indian and Chinese food to choose from, I assume there is more of a selection in the evening too. The food wasn't 5/5 but it was definitely what I'd expect when I'm paying £6.50. The drinks are quite expensive, however beer is at a relatively normal price which is a positive! Overall I'd come here again, in fact I look forward to it and trying out the other options they have.
