This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff are also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making their customers happy is their main priority. Food is fantastic some Cantonese classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it.
The day before our visit the owner and her husband were viciously attacked by thugs, both required hospital treatment for facial injuries and broken bones. This did not stop them opening the restaurant.
Thank you
Definitely 5 starsI ate here earlier tonight and all of the food was cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was so calm and stunning. But aside from the food, the staff were absolutely lovely and so kind and charismatic. It was amazing! 14/10 would go again!
Fab food, extremely good set menu. Staff are lovely. Service brilliant. We go as often as we can. Thank you Slowboat, we love you.

What an amazing place!! We have recently visited this restaurant and if we are in the area again we will definitely be returning - it's a shame we are so far away although it's prob worth the long long drive😍. The food was delicious and so much of it!!! The service was exemplory, lovely owner at front of house. If you are ever in Swansea you need to visit it ...5 star- absolutely!

It really deserves the five stars. We had seaweed, honey roasted ribs and satay chicken for starters everything was spot on. Crispy beef, chicken in black bean sauce, deep fried king prawns in garlic and chicken fried rice. They were the best prawns I have ever tasted. Drinks reasonable £3 a pint and £1.30 for a coke. Bill came to £48 and was worth every penny. Staff were friendly and service was just right. Will definitely be returning.First visit today, already looking forward to eating here again. The staff and owners are a delight, the food is fantastic and the lunch deal is amazing value. Perfect all round!
The New Slow Boat is Swansea's hidden gem! Hands down the best Chinese restaurant in Swansea. The food is delicious, generously portioned and reasonably priced. Owners Vivian and Jacky and staff are always friendly and attentive. Beautiful decor, amazing food and 10/10 service- highly recommended👍!
Great Cantonese food. Might be the best in Swansea.
