Canton Chop Suey House

Canton Chop Suey House on Caerphilly Road caters to those seeking a straightforward Chinese takeaway experience in Cardiff’s northern neighborhoods. Unlike sit-down restaurants, this spot is all about quick, reliable service and familiar flavours you come back to after a long day or when convenience is top priority.

The atmosphere is functional rather than fancy — it’s a local staple for grabbing dinner to enjoy at home rather than lingering over a meal. The menu leans on well-loved Chinese takeaway classics like Chicken Balls, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Fried Rice alongside a few splashier options including various omelette dishes and beancurd options that hint at a wider range of tastes. This variety can satisfy both regulars wanting comfort food and those looking to explore plant-based dishes or milder and spicier sauces.

Visitors should note that parking can be a bit of a hustle, particularly as the shop nestles near a busy ALDI. However, a practical local workaround is to pop into the supermarket first, then easily grab your takeaway on the way out. The staff are regarded as courteous and steady, handling orders efficiently which makes this a dependable stop for a take-home meal.

Food-wise, the majority of reviews highlight consistent quality and decent portion sizes. While most dishes hold up well, the chips tend to be a weaker point as they can come overcooked or lack freshness, something regulars have noticed. This might influence those pairing their meal with fries, but the savoury mains and soups typically stand out better.

Canton Chop Suey House suits locals looking for quick, no-fuss Chinese food with a menu that balances classic favourites and a handful of slightly more unusual options. Evening pick-up times, especially on weekdays, are arguably the busiest, so planning to arrive a little earlier or later can ease the wait. For takeaway fans around Llanishen and nearby areas, it remains a reliable and familiar choice that fits neatly into daily routines.
