Gigi Gao’s Favourite Authentic Chinese

In Swansea Marina, Gigi Gao’s Favourite Authentic Chinese restaurant offers a unique dining experience. Not only do they cook the lesser known authentic Northern Chinese cuisine, but they also pride themselves in making it an experience through a number of different and unique service initiatives.

The emphasis from day one is to send all the customers away happy, and perhaps a little more knowledgeable about the cuisine and culture. Everything they do is for a reason, whether it be the traditional Chinese dresses, the handmade table clothes, the hand-made customised cutlery and crockery or the flamboyant decor, some of which depicts paintings of traditional Chinese characters and stories.

Gigi Gao’s Favourite Authentic Chinese brings a truly authentic Chinese cuisine to Swansea. They were inspired by the lack of real Chinese cuisine within the local Swansea area, typical of that which you would experience in China itself, Gigi Gao ventured to change the local Chinese dining culture by introducing truly authentic Chinese cuisine, and a memorable dining experience to match.

The restaurant is small but very busy providing a great atmosphere for all types of dining. Whilst the dishes and flavours are unique to the local area, the growing following and subsequent high recommendations speak for themselves. A little light Shanghai Jazz is the preferred music of the evening and you can occasionally find a live musical treat at The Favourite.

The cuisine not only reflects truly authentic Chinese fare as you would eat in China, but they take pride in offering MSG Free dishes, unlike so many other establishments in the UK. Your health matters to them and believe that this is an essential step in ensuring a long and healthy life.
