Fu's - Caernarfon

Fu's- Block A, Doc Fictoria, Caernarfon LL55 1TH

We were looking forward to dining at a well-rated and cozy restaurant that doesn’t overload its food with preservatives or additives. That’s why we chose Fu’s Restaurant. We arrived at 9:40 PM and asked if it was still possible to eat. The staff said they were open until 11 PM and seated us.

The menu only listed dish names without any descriptions, which was an issue for me due to health conditions that require avoiding certain ingredients. I tried relying on guest-uploaded photos on Google to figure out what the dishes looked like. Meanwhile, the staff came to our table three times within 10 minutes, rushing us to decide.

Because the dish names weren’t clear to me, I asked whether the pork was tender and mentioned how difficult it was to choose without pictures. The waiter responded with little interest. We were then told the kitchen would close in 10 minutes, which pressured us into ordering quickly. I ended up choosing a mushroom-based dish almost reflexively.

When my lemonade arrived, I was surprised to find ice in it. The drink menu gave no indication that it would be served with ice, which matters to me as I shouldn’t drink cold beverages for medical reasons. Had that been clear, we would have asked for it without ice.

While waiting, a waitress wearing a very revealing outfit came to replace our plates. To my surprise, one of my plates literally came from under her chest, which was quite inappropriate and uncomfortable. Later, when the food was brought to the table, only my plate had sauce dripped on it, which seemed careless.

We also noticed something odd: one of the servers sat for most of the time at a nearby table, chatting with others. It wasn’t clear if she was working there or just a guest. But when we asked for salt and a knife, she brought them over — so apparently, she was part of the staff. That lack of clarity added to the strange overall impression.

To end the evening, my friend received a friendly goodbye — the server looked him in the eye and said goodbye kindly. However, when it was my turn, she turned her head away and didn’t say a word. That moment left me with a sense of discomfort and exclusion.

We left with a bitter taste — not just because the mediocre food itself, but because of how we were treated. As someone recovering from health issues, I had hoped for a respectful and relaxing dinner. Unfortunately, had we known how unprofessional and awkward the service would be, we would have gone elsewhere. The elegant outward appearance of the place turned out to be misleading.

Best Chinese meal we've ever tasted. You don't want to rush it as the tastes are amazing and unique. Generous portions and take time to view the interior. It sits beside a posh marina,with views over to Angelsey. A lovely experience.

Fu Restaurant: Generous Portions, Disappointing Flavours

If you're familiar with authentic Chinese cuisine, Fu Restaurant may not be for you. I ordered the Kung Po Chicken and Szechuan Beef, and honestly, the flavor profiles were perplexing. The Kung Po, which should strike a sweet-and-spicy balance, came off as simply spicy — no sweetness, no complexity, just heat. Oddly enough, it was spicier than the Szechuan Beef, which offered little more than a wave of saltiness, with none of the fiery kick you'd expect from a dish bearing the Szechuan name.

The dips didn’t help. I asked about better options after trying the unpleasant chilli sauce from the combo starter, but was told they only offer sweet chilli sauce or chilli oil — both at an extra £2. I went for the chilli oil, but what arrived was more like a thick chilli paste, possibly ox sauce, and far from what you’d expect.

On the upside, the portion sizes were generous — but unfortunately, the flavors fell well short. I’d honestly rate the food below standard takeaway quality, which is saying something for a dine-in experience at restaurant prices.

We stayed in Caernarfon for four nights and had our last dinner in this Chinese restaurant before heading back to London the following morning. We didn't expect the food quality was this good. Every dish we ordered was fine in London's standard. The place was nearly a full house on a Tuesday evening. The price was very reasonable. Strongly recommend this place to those visit this city.

Ordered a sweet and sour soup and was one of the worst ones I’ve tried, if you are similar to the cuisine you would be highly dissatisfied every dish lacked flavour and the dumpling were the worst thing there, they tasted store bought but I’m sure that even store bought are better.

Sweet and sour soup was literally the sauce that they use for sweet and sour chicken no other flavour’s, no anything when I saw the colour of it I just knew it wouldn’t be nice in which I was correct.

They need to do some cooking training in the most respectful way possible as the five stars it has is a complete lie, the place itself looks nice but food was the most disappointing thing!!!!

A real gem of a place to eat, food quality was phenomenal (so good we ate here two nights in a row). Decor and ambience was really nice and all the people working here were friendly and courteous. We were able to walk in both nights, though I’d recommend booking in advance for busier periods. Heartily recommended 👍🏻

While camping in north wales we fancied a meal out and searched for an eat in chinese restaurant. We were not disappointed! Fu’s was amazing. Extremely quick service, found us a table at 18.30 for 4 with no problems. Delicious food and huge portions. We shared a few dishes between us and that worked well. Helpful service, I highly recommend.

We booked to have dinner at this restaurant as we were staying in Wales. The atmosphere/ambience of the restaurant was great. Music and lights. Not to mention the statues, it really was a nice touch.
The restaurant was busy. We were served in good time. The food was well presented and was delicious.
However, one of the people who were a part of our group ordered chips, and on throwing the chips out of the bowl, a fly that was still alive was at the bottom of the bowl. We were all shocked. I got the attention of one of the servers and he came over and I explained to him what happened and showed him the fly (that by this time was dead), he apologised and that was the end of the story.
I don’t know what to make of it all. I really enjoyed my food. It was scrumptious and delicious. But the incident with the fly did put a damper on the overall experience.
