Rickshaw

Set just off the main run through Aberkenfig, Rickshaw is a small collection-and-delivery Chinese takeaway that punches well above its size. It earns a strong 4.3/5 from around 46 Google reviews, with locals singling out fresh, well-cooked dishes and brisk, friendly service. Salt And Chilli Chicken is a standout, while the spicy chicken vermicelli and Cantonese-style house dishes have their own devoted followers across the valleys.

There is no dine-in here — it is built for getting good-value Chinese food to your door or table quickly — and that focus shows in the consistency. The menu runs through all the expected favourites, with plenty of heat on offer for those who like it and gentler options for those who do not. Reviews skew firmly positive, marking it out as one of the better-regarded takeaways in this busy little Aberkenfig food cluster. For a fuss-free midweek treat in the Bridgend valleys, Rickshaw is a safe and satisfying bet.
