Yan's Fish Bar in Cardiff

Hot, fast and accurate. Cannot ask for more. Thank you Yans Fish Bar. This Chip Shop has always had a good reputation among anyone who lives nearby. Yans might be one of the best Fish and Chip shops in the entire country. Highly Recommended. Will certainly be ordering again.

Took an hour and 20 minutes to arrive even tho it said delivery time was 20/35min. The delivery driver done 3/4 stops befor me so my food was cold

This is the second time we have been to Yans for an early evening takeaway. Neither time has impressed. First visit - early 2024 - hubby had fish and chips. No major complaints, he rather enjoyed it. I ordered (and paid for) chicken curry with chips and rice (half and half). Got home to open my curry to find there was no chicken. Not a single piece - just rice and sauce with my chips separate. Gutted and highly irritated especially as I’d been charged handsomely for the chicken curry.. Second time - 28 Feb 25 @ 18.45 - I ordered a chicken burger and small chips. Hubby again had fish and chips. Got it all home. Batter on the fish was v thick and not cooked through. Chips were on the underside of being cooked. Very soggy. My chicken burger was a total disgrace. £4.25 for a soggy battered chicken fillet in a bun with a splodge of sauce. Advertised as all burgers coming with salad and crispy onions. Neither were present. It was the worst chicken burger I’ve bought in many many years.. total waste of £20. We live just too far away to get back into the car and take the food back after getting home. Tried calling a number of times to raise the issue but no answer. We won’t be back. Real shame as Yans came recommended but there’s clearly a quality control issue and standards are really low.

I ordered plaice and it's so moist and lovely soft and the batter is crisp, that how I like it. (but wish it was breaded)

Ordered Deliveroo to Heath. Arrived very quickly, well packaged and hot. Cod and chips was delicious, definitely lived up to the reviews. A very fine slab of fish, tasty and meaty as it should be. Will be our default chippie now.

Constantly cancelling orders on Uber Eats.

Fish and chips were piping hot and delicious as always

why was my cold drink put in with my supposed to be hot food!!!!

have wanted to check yans for awhile and tonight was our perfect opportunity, the savaloys were on point and extremely tasty chips, will use again, thank you 🌻

food cooked was exceptional- fish excellent and chips lovely an scruncy

Very expensive large chips was not enough to share but almost double the price. Medium gravy was less than normal chip shop potion but 2 x the price and very greasy.

pre ordered for 6pm. they kept putting it back and back, eventually arrived Luke warm just after 7pm. whilst the quality is good, I have found in the past they are never very helpful on the phone.

delicious food and was still hot

Use to go there all the time in my younger days . My aunty lived In Africa gnds so when I visit and stayed there was In there regularly. Live to far away now so haven't been there for a long while . But intend to visit it again soon . The batter was to die for my favourite then was sausages and batter and chips . Loved the place. A young guy with a hair condition when I went there bit it was great food great service and clean place loved yans

Always on time, always piping hot, always delicious!

lovely food hot,tasty large portions. I agree with other users "best chippy in Cardiff" thank you again ******

only wanted something small for myself, surly courier insisting on delivery code before he would hand over my food. The sausage and chips were happily swimming around in loads of grease, soaking in it. greaseproof paper they came in was drenched in grease and the good reviews I've given this takeaway in the past?

Gorgeous food Steve as always… 😀😀😀😀

Fish and chips were excellent as always delivery driver was a very pleasant man.

The only chippy in Cardiff that’s genuinely good

The delivery driver left the food on the doorstep.

Every time is a winner! now this IS the BEST CHIPPY in Cardiff the food is always always fantastic.Proper chips fresh white fish, lovely freshly cooked chicken and the curry sauce is magnificent. Food is ALWAYS hot, friendly efficient delivery always, large portions, not a drop of grease. NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR THIS TAKEAWAY 1st class thank you, would definitely, definitely reccomend

Llamamos para pescado y patatas fritas en el camino a casa como a menudo hacemos, cuando llegamos a casa abrimos nuestras parcelas de pescado y patatas fritas para descubrir el viejo bacalao re - calentado, la masa era tan duro que no era comestible. Steve, no necesitas hacer esto, especialmente con tus habituales, no volveremos.

Food was cold but decent quality

Best "chippy" in town! always first class, fish always fresh no bones,proper chips not and ounce of grease. very very nice and tasty large portions. Friendly efficient delivery. FIRST CLASS EVERY TIME Thank you

The best chips in Cardiff. 5 star food rating too, and the place is absolutely spotless.

Been going to this chippie for years, known the owners son for ages and great bloke. Great food, chicken curry off the bone to die for, fish is lush, chicken, sausage in batter, pineapple fritter, fish cakes all lush too. Nice chippie, nice peeps xxx

First class as usual, hot tasty large portions proper chips, first class every time ********

Excellent food, Excellent service as always. 👌

Always fresh and friendly staff - go to for chippy tea

Nearly an hour late. And gravy missing!!

lovely food this evening especially the fish well ✔️ done

BEST FRESH FISH & CHICKEN , CHIPS TO DIE FOR ..LOVELY STAFF @ CARDIFF YANS ... 3 YEARS RUNING ,BEST FISH & CHIPIE CARDIFF 50 ,👏

Cold have to heat it all up, the chicken very dried up l couldn't eat it , curry sauce a joke, no curry taste. Couldn't eat any of it. !!

Fish is always fresh & delicious. Chip portions hot & plentiful & Steve is always warm & welcoming.

Fish and ships were good and a lot of them! Chicken curry was a bit overdone, everything drowned in the curry. Portions are very generous.

Fish and chips lovely and hot gorgeous fish as usual can’t fault Yans

Very tasty, very friendly staffs

The chips were cold unfortunately but other than that food is always first class.

Best chippy in Cardiff, I travel from St Mellons and when I get home food is still hot 🔥 Chicken curry very tasty,Big portions all round

Have had fish& chips from this place many times, but in all honesty this was the worst meal we’ve ever had, the peas were cold ( easily resolved) But the batter on the fish was inedible as it was saturated in oil. The reason we like chippy fish & chips is usually the light & crispy batter. Today it was not that😡

There was a bone in my chips and beans. I'm vegetarian so never ordering here again. Shame because I used to go here loads as a kid it's been a good few years and was expecting better.

Food was hot and just perfect as always. Highly recommended 😀😀😀😀😀

Sausages too salty. Barely any chips for a large

Not a good experience this time around I’m afraid. Corned beef pasty was very overcooked (in microwave??), so overcooked it was actually burnt and was like leather. Very unedible so had to go in the bin. Same goes for the mince pie, far too long in microwave that the pie lid was burnt and rock hard….that went in bin too. Chips and curry sauce nice. Experience result: £17+ expensive for curry sauce and chips.

Fish and chips were piping hot and tasted delicious

Had cod an chips an it was absolutely gorgeous really enjoyed it lovely and hot only down side was the skin was on an couldn’t finish the lovely crispy batter off fab delivery guy will definitely order again

Chips were as good as always but, the cod? Had this been my first order it would have been my last. Very disappointing. Old, stale oil for the fish gave it a heavy and unpleasant taste. The fish was also very greasy. I had to use tissues to soak up the oil

Super fast and delivered with care

Thank you Yan, everything was perfect so much appreciated. Best Fish & Chip shop around for miles.

Food Amazing and so fresh so will order again and delivered on time.

Last time was the first time of ordering and the food was great. This time the food was even better. Freshly cooked and hot. No black chips. The fish was not a bit greasy, was moist and the batter was golden and crispy. On time and a friendly delivery guy

They contaminated the sausage in with the chips and tried to sell me contaminated chips they have no awareness of food cross contamination. I'm a Muslim and found it an insult. That they can do this disgusting act I erge all.muslims do not eat from this shop

superb meal amazing fish and chips, returned after a long break and glad i did, my new local chippie ! bravo Steve

Lovely food my new regular chippie, fish lovely, chips some of best had for ages.....and great service too. Be back soon !!!!

First time we tried this takeaway.... It won't be the last, brilliant food thank you********

First time I’ve ordered from Yans but, it won’t be the last.

Lovely staff lovely chips, generous childs portions ( only ordered for kids ) good value for money, really quick service - good location

Great food... friendly staff.. lovely chips and great batter... Excellent chippy

The curry sauce was missing from the order!!! The delivery ticket marked Steve has a tick in front of the curry sauce but it is not in the bag!!! How difficult could it be?

Staying in Cardiff and your takeaway was absolutely fab.Never ever tasted such lovely fish &chips.Well done to all your staff and delivery boys.B.Lewis

I would never eat here again ! The most greasy chips I have ever come across🤢 Not to mention the cod I paid £8 for that as for sure just skin and batter!?! Skinniest piece of fish I’ve had not to mention it wa burnt only thing I can say good is the cans are cold 🤝

Excellent food, still hot and plenty of it. No waste and certainly will use again!! Thank you.

Never open. It says it's open on Google, and even the door of the place. Caerphilly road is where it's at

Hands down best Fish n Chips in Wales, maybe the whole UK. I live abroad and not a day goes by where I'm not missing Yans. Wonderful. Real deal. The gold standard to which all fish n chips should be compared the world over.

Delicious food, generous portions, delivered promptly. Can't go wrong with Yan's!

Yo which one of you has been on holiday recently?? Love a bit of ‘Gout original’ Coca cola 😂 where did you go and did you have the best time??

This has to be the best fish and chip shop in Cardiff. Been so disappointed with some chip shops. Will be coming here from now on. Fabulous. Have found the one and only.

We had lovely fish and chips from here last night. The origin of the cod was up on a board, as well as the potato variety. Great range of soft drinks on offer. The batter was really crispy with moist fish inside. Good chips. The 'small' portions of chips were huge! All just wrapped in paper so there was very little waste.

Ordered from here a few months back, cod bites were beautiful. Had them today, and they were awful!!!! They looked like they had be soaked in oil for a week! Thee amount of fish inside was ridiculous, it was all batter! The fish you could find was dry & inedible. Might have well have thrown £15 I paid for the fish in the bin!! The onion rings were lovely & crisp last time, they were soggy & cold this time! Never would I order from them again! Although the chips & jumbo sausage were nice

The rite food has not been delivered

Great quality fish and chips arrived hot. Would definitely recommend and order again.

Tiny portions and very expensive greasy chips Albany fish bar way better

Lovely as usual. My son loves the sausages!

The Magnum ice cream didn't arrive. Can I claim a refund on it ?

Banging food! A must try! Next time if i want fish and chips its definitely from here, the search is over.I ordered cod and chips with Irish curry. Food arrived very fast, the portions are solid, it was piping hot. They give you a nice sample of the other fish which I think it's a great idea you, get to try both. Cod and the sample 10/10, very juicy and soft ,Irish curry and chips 10/10 perfect combo and very very smooth , it was good quality and well cooked food. THANKS

Very very poor piece of cod and for the cost (over £8!), I was annoyed and upset, especially when I specifically added to my order notes to ensure to have a nice piece. Won’t ever be ordering fish from here again for sure.

Lovely piping hot food. Will order again!

Ordered a cod, jumbo in batter, chips,cheese and curry sauce. The curry sauce came separately which was a nice touch, the cod was thick and juicy and tasty, not dry or piddly, the sausage I got were 2 regular instead of the jumbo but I didn't mind that. All in all the food was delicious and I would highly recommend. Even the delivery driver was friendly.

I don't know if they got my ice cream order wrong or just didn't have my flavour but I ordered a magnum white chocolate flavour ice cream tub and got given a Ben & Jerry's cookie dough (which I don't like) so that was a waste of money. Secondly, the chicken could have been so much better. I won't be ordering from that place again.

Always excellent quality food. Hygiene, service and customer care unbeatable.

Amazing food as always. The delivery.driver was polite and very friendly and the food was very warm. Thanks.

Best place to get a nice pice of fish nice big pice and cooked just right 5 stars

Superb fish and chips, and so much! Excellent value for money. A weekly treat that never disappoints.

Food was hot and really nice curry stunning thank you

Best fish and chips in Cardiff. Never had a bad order 🤌🔥

As always the fish and the chips were excellent and delivered hot. Would highly recommend

The greatest fish and chips in Cardiff and beyond

Our 1st time eating from here for years, and the food is fantastic. Since the codfather closed it has been really hard to find a really good chip shop but after months of searching I believe we have found a great replacement.

Friendly well run establishment

Yans was recommended by a couple of knowledge lovers of Britains 🇬🇧 greatest takeaway. The service was fast,witn neatly and well packed parcels of utter hot delight. Chips were excellent. Pastie, fish cakes and a rich curry sauce. I would definitely recommend Yans Thank you

Good little stretch to walk to from Heath Hospital if your stuck for somewhere to eat. Fairly limited menu, chips were nice, chicken nuggets were tasty. Portions were a good size and all was piping hot when served. Service however quite slow and only one table inside on premises to eat at. We had to find a bench nearby to eat at as my daughter is immunosuppressed. Never seem to put on enough vinegar but always plenty of salt, so make sure to ask for PLENTY of vinegar. They also sell their own vinegar. Worth a visit for some tidy chips.

Always excellent. The fish is consistently fresh and delicious and the chips are among the tastiest around. Best curry sauce as well.

Amazing fish and chips as always.

The Cod is excellent The chips are great and generous servings which is great. Been going over the last few weeks and quite happy with the quality.

Chicken a bit dry other wise really nice and hot

Great fish and chips. World Class!!
