We had a Christmas party here last year, it was to be fair one of the busiest nights of the year and this is never a good evening to eat out. I had visited earlier to sort out deposits and so on and was relatively impressed by the surroundings. We had thought of this as a Thai evening, however when the meals started arriving there was very little Thai emphasis on the food, the majority was cantonese style and to be honest it didn't seem that well prepared. Quite a few of the serving dishes had been chipped which is always a little concerning. The service was pleasant and the preperation of the shredded duck did lighten things a littl. Another thing to be aware of here is that certainly at the Christmas parties they have a singer who does belt out some favourites at a fair volume - you have been warned. A little later on the various office parties get up and boogie! Overally I think most of the group enjoyed the party and the bill was correctly made up and efficiently which is a break from the norm at Christmas parties.

Excellent Thai Food 22nd August 2008

Have eaten here on many occasions and can really recommend it to modern Thai lovers.

Formerly known as the 'Tiger Bay' restaurant, this is the smaller of two oriental restaurants situated in Cardiff Bay. Its located just around the corner from its main competitor (Pearl of The Orient) this restaurant is not quite as grand a venue, but the food is equally tasty.

The Bay restaurant occupies a large unit towards the rear of Mermaid Quay, right alongside Roald Dahls Plass. With the opening of the Wales Millennium Centre later this year, The Bay restaurant will be ideally placed (directly opposite) for those pre and post show dinners.

Although it doesn't command as spectacular a view as other restaurants in Cardiff Bay, it does have the advantage that you can generally get a table at late notice when everywhere else is full to bursting point.

The Bay is primarily a Thai restaurant but there are a whole host of oriental favourites on the menu. The range of set meals is extensive and includes a couple of 'Chef specials'. During the afternoon diners can enjoy fixed price lunches that appear to be excellent value for money.

As you dine a pianist plays contemporary tunes in the background to create a very nice atmosphere!
