Chans Noodle Bar in Cardiff

¡Qué lugar tan resquebrajado cerca de la oficina! Excelente comida china y a un precio razonable. He estado un par de veces ahora y siempre he sido de primera clase

Love coming here for a delicious bite to eat before watching a show.

Amazing food, will be going again

Fantastic! Very yummy food and delicious with great service and sanitariness with kind staff and nice atmosphere.

En una visita a la bahía de Cardiff y estaba pasando cuando noté el menú en la ventana y vi bastantes opciones veganas - que no podemos conseguir en nuestra parte de Cornualles - así que decidí probar el vegano chow mein y mi pareja tenía el arroz especial vegano. Wow, la comida era deliciosa - el chow mein especialmente, con un montón de seitán y verduras, yo estaba en el cielo de la comida! El arroz de mi compañero era un poco demasiado simple, así que intercambiamos parte de nuestra comida y la mezclamos y estuvo muy bien juntos. De vuelta a casa ahora, pero definitivamente vamos a parar aquí la próxima vez que visitemos a nuestra hija de nuevo. ¡Yum!

I have always been a fan of Chan Noodles’ beef brisket noodles, and this time it was even more delicious with my favorite chili oil. The food on the menu is very good with added style. I still want to eat her roast duck, but unfortunately it is not available at the moment.

Por favor, no comas aquí. Absolutamente desagradable comida y comportamiento del personal y el repartidor que amenazó con volver con los chicos, lo que sea que eso signifique. Más de 100 minutos de espera en una entrega a pesar de vivir a 10 minutos de distancia. Es horrible. La comida, cuando llegó era terrible. Por favor, no te molestes.

First time down to Cardiff Bay, three of us were looking for somewhere to eat. The menu here looked good, with some very authentic dishes you don’t see too often which had us intrigued. We were not disappointed. We went for Szechuan beef, chow mein, a box meal of beef and black beans, chicken balls and egg fried rice, some meat dumplings and some fried rices, plus three drinks. At £45 it wasn’t necessarily cheap, but it was good value for the quality and flavour, and there was enough we took a whole person’s meal worth home. I liked the fuss-free decor, speed and friendliness of service, and the music was decent. Some reviewers here have commented on cutlery and cleanliness, but neither were a problem for us - clean tables, chopsticks, and metal western cutlery were all there. Will come again to try other dishes like the hotpots, meat soups, and many others.

Estábamos caminando alrededor de la bahía de Cardiff cerca del mediodía y notamos Chans. Las palabras "bar de fideos" subvenían el menú, que en una inspección más cercana tenía algunos platos chinos interesantes y picantes típicos de la cocina de Sichuan y Hunan. Había muchos de mis favoritos en el menú incluyendo pescado picante y fragante (S 3 ) , Mapo Tofu (S 18 ) y vientre de cerdo estofado rojo (S 9 ) que podrían haber sido todos contendientes, pero hoy pedimos Spicy Beef Brisket (S 17 ) , Stir Fried Ho Fan con carne de res (S 7 ) y Kung Pao Chicken (S 15 ) . El restaurante estaba limpio y cubiertos, incluidos palillos, así como servilletas, estaban en cada mesa. La comida llegó en un tiempo razonable y el tamaño de la porción era amplio. El sabor era auténtico, sabroso pero no demasiado dulce o salado. Tal vez un poco menos de chile de lo que estamos acostumbrados, pero probablemente se ha suavizado para atender al paladar local. Habría caído bien con una cerveza china (que por cierto el gerente me dijo que estará disponible pronto ya que acaban de tener su licencia aprobada). Fue una comida estupenda a un precio razonable (ver las fotos del menú y fotos de los platos).

Best Chinese in Cardiff Food is fresh and amazing

Fabulous food. Great selection 👏🏻 Tastes “clean” Well worth a visit 🌟

Cheap and cheerful option in Cardiff Bay. Food was good, the only down side was the barbecue pork was too chewy.

Once home I had been given wrong order. Returned shop shut. Emailed. They offered to replace but return order. I did this .. I swear they refried chicken wings someone else had returned. Avoid, expensive & food too bad to eat, even the dog refused

Spent the evening in Cardiff bay and was a little overwhelmed at all the eateries. We decided on chans and we were NOT disappointed the food is outstanding we had my very fussy daughter with us and even she cleared her plate! It was fresh and delicious. Lovely little seating area and it was a great price. Honestly couldn’t fault it. Great atmosphere and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately even with the directions on the packets I still couldn’t work the chopsticks 🤣 please open a store in Shropshire we have discussed this meal more than a few times since we got home!

Al parecer este restaurante ha estado aquí como una comida para llevar durante unos años. Recientemente cambiaron el menú para incluir más auténtica comida china y su negocio ha subido. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Las porciones son masivas. Dios mío, la comida es increíble. Mi mejor amiga es china y como tanto en su casa como fuera con ella. La comida era tan buena! Muchas gracias, me hiciste muy feliz y no puedo esperar a volver a visitar.

Stopped in for a quick meal during a trip to Cardiff expecting the sort of food you get from a chain noodle bar (reliable but nothing special), but this was so much better. The place itself is clean and attractive, the service was good and the food was fantastic. We had noodle boxes to eat in, the portion size was very good and the prices reasonable. We will definitely return.

Food tasted great. Friendly staff.

Affordable and great taste! I got the chicken noodle, the soup was so good for a cold rainy day.

Lovely food! I had the house special chow mein & beef in black bean sauce. Very tasty and fresh! Would definitely have again if I was in the area.

Authentic Chinese food I am surprised they serve pork trotters, in such high standards as well! Definitely worth a try I think if they renovate the shop a little bit, they can definitely pass as a middle high class restaurant simply by the food quality alone.

The vegan food was extraordinary! All the food in the photo was vegan.

Absolutely delicious. Had the duck with sweet and sour and fried rice. Barking dogs were very annoying. Dog owners are so selfish and ignorant. Shouldn't be allowed into the bar. Besides that would definitely call in again.

The service was fantastic! The counter was above and beyond helping us. It’s the worse noodle box I’ve had tho, same goes with the laksa (the soup was okay but noodle itself no) I certainly wouldnt order them again.

Delicious and authentic food, and good value for money

As an Asian, I confirm this place is one of the best Asian restaurants in the UK

Great asian food. Authentic Chinese dishes. Will come back again.

I was excited to try the food here after reading reviews but unfortunately the food not good. The noodles were too greasy and a bit over-cooked and some of the beef was just chewy - basically quite tasteless. I had some starters that were just average really and were kind of tasteless too. I left feeling sad that I’d paid quite a lot of money and really not enjoyed it. The tables were clean but the mats at the table needing wiping. Shame.

Absolutely incredible experience :) Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food came quickly and was delicious. Portion sizes were also very good. Would definitely recommend and will be coming again!

Lovely food. Fast delivery. Good portions

Overall, much fresher than most noodle bars. However, vegetarian / vegan options disappoint. The vegan ribs are now replaced with spring rolls and the vegan Cantonese - the soy protein feels like it’s frozen and deep fried. Completely hard and inedible, chopstix do a much better meat alternative.

The food was excellent, really. The red braised belly pork was perfect. The service was also good. The music was too loud and not to my taste but they’re catering to a younger crowd, I get that. But one star lost because of a couple of small concerns - a sticky table and awful cutlery (a mixture of wood and single use plastic, which is probably not even legal now). Wooden utensils are ok for take-away, but for eating in, they’re really not ideal. I’d eat here again but I’d probably take in my own cutlery and maybe a wipe for the table

Omg guys I recommended this restaurants absolutely amazing all friendly staff work with chans and very helpful and I was lucky meet owner Top man food is so fresh and portions is lots for one person guys don't wait just visiting this place in Cardiff bay 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

Great food and fast service. I work locally and occasionally treat myself to a takeaway box.

Lovely food at a decent price:. It was a nice alternative to a regular sit down restaurant, and good to see lots of vegan options. I just wish there was non disposable cutlery to use when eating in, as it seems such a waste.

Soo expensive but omg worth every penny loved it food so loverly thanks so much

Visited here due to its 4.5 stars review. It's quite disappointing that the noodles tastes terrible, black bean sauce noodles tastes watery. I asked for tap water and they forgot my order, I have to let them know twice 🤦‍♀️

Originally from Hong Kong and whenever I feel homesick, I have Chans. Really delicious wonton noodle and beef noodle soup, tastes authentic. Their Wings, Ribs and Fried Rice are also stellar.

Great little noodle bar in Mermaid Quay. it has a few tables inside plus a takeaway. friendly staff and quick service.

Fried beef river! Big dish, worth the meal

They serve food so quick. The taste is delicious.

Best Chinese in Cardiff bay , they allowed our two puppies 🥹🥹🥹🥹 and the lady was very patient when I was ordering , highly recommended 😊😊😍😘

Don’t bother ordering via Uber Eats unless you like your food stone cold! Paid for priority delivery which is just an expensive joke.

Excellent to have a quick and easy noodle option in the bay, convenient for Millennium Centre performances. Though no roast meats were available when I was there, the laksa was on point, with two mussels, other appropriate seafood, and only rice noodles—even the somewhat flabby pieces of pork skin were welcome as authentically present and correct. The front of house is a beleaguered youth, but the Uncles manning the woks know what’s what. Tidy in every way.

Great portions. Very tasty. And amazing customer service.

"Excellent service with friendly and warm staff, help me when my partner bag get wet. Many thanks

Superb authentic 'Asian' cuisine. Me and my mate had 3 dishes each and left best part of 1 each. Both had the beef noodle soup which was huge. I had the soup, dry ribs and house chow mein. He had the soup, sesame bread and another dish I can't remember!!😂. 2 each would have been enough. Beautifully flavoured and plenty of beef in the soup. Would definitely return. 5*.

Lovely little place in Mermaid Quay with good options and fast service

First time I've tried chans absolutely gorgeous will definitely try again

Great taste - Thai curry noodles

The fried noodles with beef and laksa noodles are good. The portion is generous.

The staff are amazing lovely food would highly recommended to others delicious options to choose from. Love the box meals and the ABC menus are a delight

Fantastic food. Would recommend

Have eaten here several times. Great food everytime

Enjoyed the brisket so much I went back the next night and had the same again.

Yummy food, great prices and service, friendly staff! The food was delicious and satisfying, in this photo there are two ABC meals: A for the base (we chose egg fried rice), B for veg spring rolls or chicken balls (we had one of each), and C for the side dish (we had chicken with mushroom, and mixed veg in oyster sauce). Nice place, would recommend :)

Popped there on my lunch break. Really nice food, went for the king prawn and fried rice box. Fair number of prawns in the box, would happily visit again

Myself and my partner have just stayed in Cardiff Bay for a few days. We had a takeaway with a friend of ours and loved your food so much, we ordered again the following night. Highly Recommended and will be back again :)

The food is really nice. What a surprise find during our little day trip!

Beef brisket too oily, make me feeling bad

Food is is average, however, i feel it’s quite expensive for what you get. Also, recently I’ve noticed the portions are now a lot smaller than when they first opened, however, price has remained the same (I’ve always thought it was expensive here)

Good taste and reasonable price

Never fail to have a lovely lunch here would definitely recommend

The first day we arrived in Cardiff, we had dinner take away from Chan's Noodles, the food was so good. We came back the next day to try more dishes on the menu, and it was delicious too. Well done guys!

These are probably the best noodles I've ever had from a noodle bar £9 is not cheap, but there was a load of them, easily enough for two meals, and the chicken was incredibly tasty. Would definitely go back.

Top class food whenever I’ve visited. Whether it’s a noodle box or your usual Chinese dish. Quality, tasty and fab staff .

Obsessed with this place and The lady on the phone Yasmin is the most lovely girl ever and so helpful! X

Wow! I cannot praise this place highly enough. Well priced drinks and amazing food. Really great spot that is a hidden gem in the Bay!

Chans Noodle Bar is a great addition to Cardiff bay. Inside has great Air conditioning, comfortable seats and clean tables. You can see the kitchen from your seats as you wait for your food. Food came quickly to our table, portion sizes are larger than expected which was welcomed! The 123 noodle box and the stir fried ho fun with beef were both excellent.

Really nice food and service. The cantonese roast duck looks mouthwatering 😋😋

amazing food! i ordered the chicken noodle soup as i had a bad throat and i was expecting it to be bland but was very pleasantly surprised! it was so flavourful and the portion size was massive i couldn’t finish it all. the person at the front desk who took our orderwas super nice, she was really helpful and attentive. overall i’m shocked i hadn’t been here before! will be returning very soon. p.s they were playing sabrina carpenter on loop so that’s a plus!

Best Chinese in Cardiff. Not artificial mass produced rubbish like some Chinese restaurants. The food is always outstanding from here, freshly cooked and delicious and really generous portion sizes. It isn't the cheapest place but it is worth every penny on the monthly treat night. Highly recommended.

Outstanding Singapore Laksa. The best I’ve ever had outside of Singapore. 10/10 would come back!!!!!

Nice food, I really liked that they put original names to the bill!

Great value chinese based food before show at wmc. Enjoyed and would visit again. You get what is on the tin.

Had the Brisket beef. Looked nothing like website photo. Served in a tupperware plastic box. Horrible fatty beef chunks. Sauce was very bland. Very tasteless. Rice was awful. I couldn't eat it. It looked a busy place but my experience was very poor.

Delicious authentic Chinese food

First time for a take away vast food menu food is all freshly cooked stunning food friendly staff too also you can eat in!!!

Very nice food large portions, will definitely go again 😀

Love the food , and I never had a bad experience .

Nice food from deliveroo, thank you!

the meal is quite big, taste is good and price is reasonable. the cashier boy is nice!

Was in Cardiff for a concert, and this was a random pit stop on route. Lovely staff, lovely food, big portions.

There is no better takeaway in Cardiff/Cardiff Bay than Chans. Hands down. The service is always on point, super polite, speedy and professional. The food is always fresh, clean, never greasy and cooked with great care and attention. This place is insanely tasty and I won't hear anything bad said about these legends. 10 stars.

Ordered from the 1-2-3 noodle box menu for lunch. For £7.50 (had chicken in mine) you get an awful lot of food that tasted great. Not too oily and all well cooked. A good choice of cutlery (fork or chopsticks) to take away if needed. Will happily eat here again next time I'm in Cardiff

OMG one of the best buns we have ever had.

Preis okay, Essen sehr lecker und ganz frisch. Leider stand die Tür die ganze Zeit offen und es war sehr kalt im Restaurant, sodass wir unsere Jacken und Mützen tragen mussten. Ungemütlich! Die Toilette war ungepflegt.

食物非常好吃！牛腩汤面里面的肉非常多，吃一碗就非常饱了对我来说。鸭包也很好吃，推荐！

Lovely noodle place, a welcome addition to local Cardiff Bay. I went here with a friend on his recommendation and it was great. We ate in. I had a 3 step tray meal, chicken curry, chicken balls and egg fried rice. Delicious and very good value for money. Really nice lady taking the orders who helped me navigate the menu since I was a first timer and made recommendations. Food came out quickly and it's a really chill vibe inside to eat in.

Ok, I loved the food!!! You can feel the love in every bite. In my opinion the best Chinese in Cardiff. The braised beef noodle soup, was so delicious, the meat was tender and there was a lot of it!! The Dumplings in chilli oil, the best I ever tried, wished the noodles had the chilli oil from the dumplings in… it added so much more flavour to it… (just saying 👀). My issue is that my order took 3 hours to get to me (it was 11pm when I got my food delivered. I ordered around 8pm).Which made me very frustrated and upset as I’m pregnant and the only thing I could eat the whole day was the food I was craving… which took 3HOURS TO ARRIVE. For that reason I’m giving this restaurant 3 stars. Service is as important as the food.

Delicious food and fast service. Clean tables and I love the ceiling. Excellent playlist too if you like BTS, but for a place called Chans it has a shocking lack of Stray Kids songs playing 😆

Lovely Noodle bar, lots of choice, specials and service with a smile. Food was wonderful and will definitely return. Thanks.

Very tasty food. Probably the best Chinese in Cardiff.

The most delicious Noodles in town. The portion size was quite big as well. Not too expensive either.

Fast food outlet with dine in option seating area, located in Cardiff Bay . Singapore Laksa and Wonton Noodle Soup plentiful portion.

First time visiting here! First walking in your get this aesthetic ambience, ordered the noodle box and dumpling with hot chilli sauce. Probably the most nicest thing I have ever had. Didn't wait long for the food and staff were very polite and chatty. Good parking nearby and seating available inside and out!

Staff were friendly, service was fast and the food was delicious. Recommended eating for the Bay.

Absolutely disgusted with the customer service. Except for 2 staff members. We came to stay in a holiday let and on our last night we spent nearly 50 quid on a delivery from Chans. We planned to eat and go out after to enjoy Cardiff bay on our last night. We ordered at 8 pm via the businesses OWN webpage and by 9.30 had no food but a text message to ring the restaurant. We phoned the number that had been text to us, only to find the number was for one of their other outlets. It picks up a little here as the Welsh lady that answered the phone was so amicable and helpful and did everything she could, she gave us the number for the right shop and said any other problems to ring her back. We phoned the correct shop and all I got was passed from one woman that couldn't understand to another woman that couldn't understand and after the 3rd time of saying we ordered over an hour and a half ago she yelled what was your door number!! After telling her she shouted it's on way and hung up. Gave them an additional 10 minutes to see if it would turn up. Ended up calling the nice Welsh lady back and she was about to call the other shop herself when the driver turned up. The driver was a very nice guy and I had a quick chat with him. Turns out they have opened up this shop but haven't staffed it very well. Only 1 driver on to deliver all the meals??? He said he had even told the owners that they are going to lose customers if they carry on like this, but, carry on like this they do! The food was passable. Some of the sauces such as the black bean sauce had more watery that your average bath and the batter on the chicken balls was no where near crispy. I come to Wales as much as I can as I love the place and this is the 1st time I have encountered such a shoddy and pathetic excuse for management or a business in Wales. The driver and the Welsh lady I spoke to would be an asset to any business. Just a shame that it cannot be said for the owners!

Visited today ordered black bean box with beef good portion size quite tasty.second order was chicken curry box.lacked flavour very little taste.third item ordered was wonton noodle soup,instead of pork dumplings requested tofu,the initial smell of the meal when lid removed was simply not right,only way I can describe it dish water smell..during our time there the restaurant was quiet one table left leaving ourselves and one other lady however we did notice that the two gentlemen in the kitchen and one lady at the desk were continuously looking and watching us which wasn’t very comfortable.at the end I simply thanked the lady and we left.truthfully disappointing as we had been planning to visit for a few weeks

I had a noodle box. Noodles, chicken, prawns, broccoli and mushrooms. £13.00, well worth the money for sure. Massive portion, tasty and fast service.

Delicious and fresh. Black pepper beef and pork chops in honey it’s very nice !
