We ordered online for me and my fiancé while she was on break. After placing my order I realised I made a mistake as we all do, I followed the steps to contact the restaurant I called 5 times!!! and tried to get ahold of them through the Deliveroo contact but with no success. After being on the phone for about 5-10 minutes I gave up. The order arrived with the wrong item which we couldn’t eat because my fiancé has an allergy to the item. Overall the other food was great but the restaurant is useless at answering the phone. This isn’t the first time we’ve tried to contact them

¡Siempre me encanta venir aquí! Mi opción son los fideos con sal y pimienta y pollo con caramelo. El pollo siempre está tierno y lleno de sabor y los fideos están perfectamente cocinados. Ideal para comer sobre la marcha o incluso para una comida barata. No te decepcionará.

No tan bueno como lo normal.Ven aquí con bastante frecuencia y siempre disfruta de la comida sabrosa, rápida y sin complicaciones. Sin embargo, hoy fue diferente.Parecían menos opciones, con 3 tipos de pollo crujiente y nada como la salsa de frijoles negros. La caja estaba repleta de arroz y fideos, dejando muy poco espacio para los ingredientes.Esperemos que la próxima vez vuelva a la normalidad, si no, tendrá que encontrar un nuevo lugar.

Este lugar ha cambiado! Ok, la comida sigue siendo buena, sin embargo, han cambiado el tamaño de sus cajas y son mucho más pequeños. La señora que me atendió no hablaba muy bien inglés y tuve que hacer mi pedido dos veces antes de que ella entendiera. No discrimino a las personas que no hablan muy bien el inglés, sin embargo, era casi imposible comunicarse con ella. He sido cliente por más de 3 años y siempre pido una caja pequeña, pero esta vez la caja solo tenía 3 trozos de pollo y son del tamaño de un bocado, así que tuve que pedir que fuera mediana. También solían tener pequeños recipientes de plástico con aceite frío que era encantador y, para mi sorpresa, ya no los tienen. ¡Muy decepcionante esta vez!

Ci siamo andate due volte, ottimo sia per il pranzo che per la cena. All'inizio può essere complicato capire come funziona perchè se prendi un box piccolo ti danno un solo topping, se prendi la box media due toppings, se prendi la grande tre toppings. Comunque molto buono, scalda lo stomaco e molto spazio per sedersi.

He visitado tanto el bar outlet de Bridgend como el de Queen Street. Cardiff tiene que decir que la sucursal de Cardiff es mucho mejor. Si estás con una familia, hacen una muy buena oferta 19. Combo de 95 para una familia de cuatro. Su gran variedad, puede elegir entre fideos o base de arroz y luego una variedad de diferentes opciones de pollo o carne de res.

Mi primo y yo salimos de compras por el día y nos sentíamos muy hambrientos, así que decidimos ir a chopstix y decir que no me impresionó sería una subestimación. En primer lugar, pedí una pequeña con un aderezo (elijo katsu curry como mi aderezo) solo para descubrir cuándo llegué a la caja que me habían cargado y 1 extra. 55, así que al verificar mi recibo, encontré que también me cobraron por un artículo que ni siquiera pedí. Los modales de los miembros del personal fueron menos que satisfactorios, y no les importa, solo quieren moverlo a lo largo de la línea para que puedan continuar con el próximo cliente. Creo que los trabajadores no son arsed y no lo recomendaría.

Called in just before the 8pm closing time hoping that I was not going to be disappointed. I need not have worried. Although a couple of items had been taken off the menu I was still able to get a good noodle selection box. Bonus too in that I was given a few freebies as it was the end of the day. Really convenient location and would certainly recommend for a quick bite at value for money prices.

This is a great place for a quick tasty bite to eat. You order one of three sizes of box - small, medium or large. This comes with stir fried rice and/or noodles, on top of which you have 1 (in the case of a small box) or 2 toppings chosen amongst things like sweet and sour chicken, caramel chicken, salt and pepper chicken, thai curry etc...

Después de viajar toda la mañana, nos encontramos con este lugar y nos detuvimos para descansar y tomar una comida rápida. Teníamos dos "cajas medianas", es decir, dos rellenos, con un costo de 6 cada uno. Comimos pollo a la barbacoa con sal y pimienta pollo en arroz, y pollo con caramelo, gambas dulces y chili en panecillos. La comida no era buena en absoluto. Yo diría que los comida para llevar chinos son mucho mejores que esto. Ni a mi mujer ni a mi nos gusta. Debería haber ido al McDonalds cercano en su lugar. Muy decepcionado.

Popped in for an early lunch as was staying in local hotel and wasn’t having dinner until 8.30. Firstly you have quite a bit to choose from. I think unfortunately for me I chose the least favourite. The other three had the Chinese chicken curry and Thai curry which I must admit tasted really nice. I chose the sticky chicken. It was really chewey and I ended up leaving most of it. Rice was nice though. If I went here again I would go for one the curries.

I do occasionally stop by Chopstix when shopping in the city centre. I tend to get the egg fried rice and thay chicken curry with a side of prawn toasts. I have no complaint about the food, it has always been very tasty. However, the service is so poor, staff often look like they would rather be somewhere else! I often get served by a female, she is quite abrupt and is quite stingy with the portions. Shame about the customer service, otherwise I would definitely visit more often.

I ordered a medium portion but the lady at the counter gave me a very meager portion. I then went on to order a second medium portion and politely asked a different member of the staff to help me. The cook overheard my conversation and came to the counter to see what was going on. He seemed to be drunk as he had alcohol on his breath, his speech was slurred and he had droopy eyes. He then told the staff member to reduce my portion. I don't understand what was his problem with me? I then asked him why he was reducing my portion. He then started abusing and threatening me and was waving his spoon in front of my face. Upon hearing the common almost the entire staff including the manager came shouting at me as if I had done a big crime by asking the question about my portion.

Have never had a complaint about the food in this place. Has all been lovely. Not sure about the prices , may be slightly too steep for the portion sizes, but the prices of the extras/sides are very good! The staff are foreign, and they may be a language barrier, but they are still well mannered, and work very well and efficiently. The staffs work ethic really puts the 'fast' in 'fast food'. My overall opinion of this place is that it is great for a quick bite, and the fast service makes it even better, and that is why it is one of my most frequently visited food places for when I am in the City Centre.

Cheap and cheerful, you queue up, choose which size box you want and they heap it full of noodles or rice then you add a chicken dish or two or three (depending on meal size). Great size portions and very good value. Chicken dishes were tasty but my only criticism was they could have been a bit hotter. Typical fast food seating area, wooden benches and clear your table yourself after you finish. Good for a speedy lunch.

We were on our way to our hotel and thought it would make a good change from Burger King. My husband is the most picky eater but the noodles were plain (no veg bits) and big selection of chicken. The oyster sauce chicken especially was lovely. The layout is brilliant to get prams in and is always really clean. It's half the price of other places in Cardiff for the amount you get.

I always come here for food before I go to work, however last Tuesday I met the rudest women ever! She slammed my food down on the tray saying the price, not even giving me a chance to ask for a drink or anything more! And then she walked of to go and stand away from me so she could go on her phone! I was not eating in so therefore I needed a bag, and even when I asked for when she pretended not to hear me and just stared at the next people who arrived!

Visited chopstix today with my sister and the service was shocking. The lady behind the counter asked my sister what she wanted without even looking at her to busy looking out the shop window to see what was going on outside! So we asked for two small noodles!, she gave her 1 and ushered her down to the till to pay! So after my sister had paid she asked me what i wanted again while looking out the window so didn't know if she was talking to me or the person behind! She then took me to the till i asked her for a fanta she huffed!! Then took my payment and threw my receipt on the tray were it landed in my noodles!! Haha never again will i visit!

There isn't a better word to describe Chopstix than "average"Noodles were not unpleasant but seemed underseasoned, (There may have been soy sauce available, but the bottle was unlabelled and I wasnt in a mood to experiment!). Spicy toppings were rather mild although the crispy chicken was rather good.The plastic knives and forks are too flimsy to eat noodles with properly and if I'm eating in, why do I still need to eat out of the box? The decor was rather utilitarian... It was cheapish, but I would rather have paid more money for better food.

Chopstix serves food fresh, and in a box. Food is prepared fresh, kept hot and served with up to 3 toppings in a box ranfging from £4.5 to £6.5 depending on how many toppings you select. There's a whole range of toppings from veggies to sesame chicken and there's some sides you can call for as well. Portion sizes are enough for one person depending on your appetite, so two people can easily manage a meal in under £12 here, which is great value, especially given how tasty the food is! Highky recommended after a round of exhausting retail therapy! (The restaurant is located in the heart of the market).

I and my boyfriend have first visited this place last year and haven't stopped since. As someone who enjoys noodles and needs a quick fix, this is the perfect place. Admittedly, there are little vegetarian options. You may have two sides together (for the medium sized box) with either noodles or rice, so vegetarians have the choice between spicy potatoes, vegetable curry, spring rolls or vegetables. So, if you're a veggie like me, you may find this a little overpriced.However, if you're not a vegetarian, like my boyfriend - who enjoys his noodles with caramel & sweet and sour chicken, you may see the value for your money. There are various options available too.The food is either a hit or miss - one day the potatoes might be deliciously crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside. On others, they may be dry, soggy and dead. There is a noticeable difference between fresh and non fresh food, especially the noodles, which may be tasteless at times. However, if you come during peak time, you should not have complaints about the freshness of your food.The place is clean and the tables are wiped down almost immediately after as customer leaves.The only complaints I would have is the price of the drinks, the unstable quality of food and bathroom door locks in the men's toilets!Overall, we do love this place. It is quite familiar to us now, the staff are friendly and remember our options as we tend to have the same every time. We would come every day if we could! I recommend everyone to try Chopstix at least once, you never know - you may keep coming back to this place, just like us!

I normally head into Canton for noodles but decided to take a walk into town for lunch instead. As it is the school hols most places are heaving but Chopstix was fairly quiet with only one person in the queue.I waited about 5 mins to get served as the 2 girls working seemed disinterested in providing any level of actual service.When I was served I ordered noodles with 2 toppings - chicken in black bean sauce and caramelised chicken.This cost £5.50 reasonable for the amount of food if the food tasted good (it didnt).When paying the girl didnt make eye contact. She told me how much it cost and then looked away so I was stood there holding the money out whilst she stared out the window!She did ask me if I wanted a bag though.Rather than handing me back my change she dropped it on a pile of trays and walked off.I took the food back to work (5mins walk) and it was cold - not tepid like it had cooled during the walk but cold like it had started out that way.The food itself was disgusting. The noodles were so gloopy they literally came out in a sticky lump. The black bean chicken tasted odd and was very fatty. The caramelised chicken was the only edible part and was okay.Overall not impressed with the food or the service received and would not recommend or go back. If your looking for noodles look somewhere else in town or take a short (10min) walk into Canton where you can eat at a noodle bar where they cook the foos fresh to order, you have a choice of food and they do a cheap £3.80 lunch time special

Had a spring roll which looked lovely until I took a bite and the filling was all runny inside.

I really love the place. Food is great. But needs frendlier stuff. I was trying to choose the topping while cashier was staring at me kind of judging. Even though there were no queue. When I've chosen she threw my topping in the box as if it was in schools canteen. But Caramel chicken was so tasty, that I forgot all unfrendliness of stuff.Yummy and tasty food.

Was passing through this lovely city & had 3 hours to burn. Decided not to veer off the main pedestrianised Queen Street fit a quick bite.Popped into Chopstix. Seats about 100 customers on long benches. Good choice rice & noodles. A dozen or so toppings with sauces such as sweet & sour chicken. Korean BBQ chicken. And dry toppings such honey chicken, caramel chicken. Salt & pepper chicken & oyster chicken.Prices vary from £5-6.50 (S/M/L)I absolutely loved it & highly recommend it. Cheap soft drinks also Will definitely return when I'm back there in Nov

Went with my two kids as you pay £4.50 for a small portion of either rice or noodles with one topping - asked if I could have the topping separate in case kids did not like the chicken - told NO - company policy!!! asked if could pay for an extra carton to put the topping in ...No Company policy - couldn't take the risk of my kids not liking the topping so ended up still paying £4.50 just for the noodles without toppings - the manageress was rude and not accommodating .. good job we did not add the topping we wanted as I tried the salt and pepper chicken and more like chilli chicken which the kids would not have eaten!!!!We won't be going back - there are plenty of independent places to eat in town who appreciate and value our money more .....sadly disappointed - they really need to think about their company policies as we were more than happy to pay extra and they just were not interested ... wish we had walked out!!

The restaurant looked inviting and as it was Halal, we gave it a try.Ordering is a simple 3 step process, choosing Rice or Noodle, chicken dishes and sides.One of our child's dishes was a little dry, so we went up and were happy to pay a £1 for an extra portion of chicken (which is the rate if ordering at the start) but staff said NO, this ain't possible. This made the experience disappointing and why I gave it 1 star less.Chopstix needs to think about the customer experience and be more willing to accommodate customers needs, it's not like anyone is asking for a freebie.We would be happy to try again as the food was nice and great for kids too.

Been here a couple of times now. On both we were well fed and watered for under £6 each. The place is always packed so others obviously enjoy it too.One criticism I would make is the chicken fried rice. It tastes a bit MSGish.

Visited the Queen Street Cardiff shop with wife and 5 year old grandson feeling hungry and very disappointed at the staff attitude. The Wife and I intended to order our meals as previous visits but were told our Grandson could not just have rice and noodles as he does not like chicken dishes. The member of staff serving us was quite rude telling us we could not have our requested meal as it was not possible. In front of me in the heated display were 2 large dishes of noodles and rice so why not as I said we would pay the price for a full meal but no was the answer. Very short sighted so they lost out on 3 meals where we purchased elsewhere.

Loved coming her in my lunch break prior to the new look and continued loving it after. The staff always remember us and it is good portions at good prices. Always returning

Rice or noodles plus 1,2 or 3 choices of meat or vegetarian. Simple and to the point. Cheap for the amount of food that you get. In a couple of visits you can sample every variety and then go back to your favourite. It has just got a makeover so everything spic and span, not that it had been let get tired or beat up before this. Everything seems to be kept clean and tidy, so no worries there. If the weather is good, you can take your food to Bute Park, 5 minutes walk and dine al fresco!The Good Life.

I visited this place last Friday with my friends and we were deeply disappointed. They used to serve good quality food but now it's far from being as it used to be. I ordered chicken fried noodles which were not freshly cooked and very dry. chicken turned out to be some kind of skins or chicken fat pieces coated with sesame. I could barely find any nice chunk of chicken. Lack of seasoning and flavour. One could taste artificial flavours. If you have any taste and can distinguish good food from poor one you will notice the difference.

My friend and I went in to Chopstix as we're from a south-east Asian country and was attracted by the food choice as it reminds us of home. Turns out it was a nightmarish experience for us as we got really negative response from a staff who served us (looked like a European but definitely not local due to her English). She served my friend 1st and I was really excited seeing the food, pointing out the choices that i would take to my friend when the staff turned to me and said "EXCUSE ME. COULD YOU NOT SEE I'M SERVING HER?!" And continued to roll her eyes and scoffed at me. I wasn't even talking to her. I did not say a word and forgave her actions after that due to not letting her RUIN my holiday. Food was okay not really Asian-y taste but passable. Sadly, i do not recommend people to visit Chopstix. The shop seriously need a polite and non-biased makeover for their staff if they intend to survive. Good luck.

I had tried this place for the first time yesterday.. I was with my relative who is a regular customer there! . As we walked in , started looking at the menu board, the staff stood there with their arms crossed looking all serious! They were all foreign! The lady on the till who was Polish (I'm assuming) had disgusting attitude! I asked for a drink, I thought for a second about what to get, she sort of shouted and goes "excuse me , what do you want come on tell me now! Overall nice food, my favourite was the chicken fried noodles!

Its cheap, greasy, bland but very filling. What to say. You've had a few beers and you want that greasy hit, its fine. You want something that's fresh, tasty, cooked well by a chef with skill, then walk on.I had this on a lunch break from work. Mistake. Felt bloated and uncomfortable all afternoon. Nothing about this place is fresh or tasty. Had it been 11pm and I had a few beers then great. Typical late night stomach lining fodder, but no more. If its light, leave it!

I went here today for the first time. It looks okay from outside and the food looks nice but once served it was just sickly, sweet slop! I had some sort of chicken with lemon sauce. I would say it was proccessed chicken.The lady who served me was very abrupt and did not crack a smile once. The only positive was that it was kept clean and tidy. It was poor food for the price, I wished I had gone to burger king!

Popped in.. Was starving and love Chinese so gave it a go.. Definitely not customer focused which is fine but the food just didn't do nothing for me :( had large pot with noodles (very dry) lemon chicken (lovely) and caramel chicken (disgusting) not worth the £5.50 and I won't venture there again.. Not much choice either!!

Pros:Good location.Good selection of food.Food cooked in front of you.Sauce on table.Cons:Girl serving was too quiet to hear.I asked for an extra card box to help take food home, they wanted to charge 50p.You can only choose 3 items, which is a bit tight.Summary This place could be great. My advice is to employ staff who at least pretend to look happy, give more help and choice to the customers. We are not cattle.

I found the system simple for £5.50 you get a large carton and a choice of three from the buffet counter I had noodles, Thai chicken curry and chicken fried rice. I thought the food was quite tasty.There was plenty of seating for everyone and possible for a gang of you to all sit together at one table. It is a simple set up its good value for money the food was great and instant like you would find at a fast food place infact the food is a lot better than you would find at fast food places targeted at children. A big well done from me as I will visit chopstix again.

Not sure what the bad reviews were expecting I don't think they understand the restaurant's concept?? It's not a restaurant as such, it's a counter where you order from a selection of chinese foods laid out buffet style. You get to pick 3 for a medium box which is £4.50 - great value and fills me up fine. Customer service doesn't really apply, in a place like that I don't expect follow ups etc, just fast, fresh, hot food - which I've always had.

Absolutely horrible. Every aspect of my meal. -I entered, and didn't get greeted.-I tried looking at the menu, and got very pressured into ordering by a woman who didn't appear to follow general hygiene standards- When I asked about the potatoes, the staff looked at me as if I had 8 heads, and ignored my question.-No card payments available.- Literally I had £4.49 in cash, and my meal came to £4.50. I expected the lady (who spoke less than basic english) if it was ok (assuming so), and she got very angry, called her manager, who was JUST as bad, and pushed my food to the side._ They then decided to allow me to have my penny off my meal, and didn't say one more word to me.- The food was disgusting. It was cold, and blatantly pre-heated.Never re-visiting this restaurant again.

Most of the choices were gone when we stopped in. It's a huge place. It was not very pleasant. The counter staff were ok. Prices are inexpensive. The food was unimpressive. I'm sure there are better choices nearby. The location is great, though, and there was plenty of seating.

After a night out, we were desperate to eat something that wasn't saturated in fat and full of additives. The NoodleBox, conveniently siutated near Burger King and McDonalds, seemed the perfect solution.It smelt nice when we were queueing, but when being served the staff were a little pushy and non-attentive. My Partner wanted plain chicken noodles (the base for all of the dishes here) and didn't want an additional topping - The lady serving us didn't seem to understand and almost forced us to have a topping, none of which we were particularly in favour of. We ended up with a dry topping, so we could remove it.The concept is good, but we regretted not going to Wagamama's instead.
