Customer Review Summary

Vegan dishes draw the most praise, with one reviewer calling the vegan chow mein the best they have had in Europe and another describing meat substitutes that closely match the meaty versions. Close behind are the red braised belly pork, the saliva chicken, the 123 noodle box and the stir fried ho fun with beef. Reviewers repeatedly describe the cooking as fresh and not overly greasy, with portions larger than expected. Several also mention friendly, fast service, air conditioning and clean tables. The complaints are specific. One reviewer reports finding pineapple in their noodles after stating an intolerance and being told the sweet and sour sauce had none, and says they were offered a free drink and a remake. A regular describes a cashier raising her voice at them during lunch, and another diner notes a sticky table, a mix of wooden and plastic cutlery, and loud music. One vegan reviewer says the kitchen left oyster sauce out of the vegetable dishes they asked for.

  • Fee Fletcher
    “Food was spot on, really tasty and fresh. Not overly greasy like some Chinese food can be. Service was friendly and fast. Good choice of food, including vegan options.”
  • Marc Higgins
    “Food was absolutely delicious and can safely say I'll be back whenever I'm next in Cardiff.”
  • Rudy Garrido
    “Probably the best chow mein I've had in Europe, AND VEGAN! They also have AC if you want to scape the heat and eat some good food 😄”
  • Rosa Pinguin
    “I usually love spending my lunch break at Chans. The food is tasty, freshly cooked, and usually the staff is very friendly. Two days ago at lunchtime, there was a lady at the till I personally haven't come across yet. She was very impatient, raised her voice, basically shouting at my colleague and me. I understand we can all have bad days, but working in hospitality needs professionalism.. the lady's behaviour was unacceptable. Will turn right around and opt for a different restaurant when I spot her next. A real shame”

    “Wow!!! It’s no wonder the Harlem Globetrotters were ordering 40 dishes from these guys while we were there. This place knows how to do Chinese properly and their VEGAN options are unlike any other takeaway place I’ve tried before. Not only are their vegan dishes similar to their meaty counterparts, they use AMAZING meat substitutes (and plentiful) that wouldn’t let on that they aren’t even meat. We ordered one of everything off the menu and they even took out the oyster sauce for the veggies we wanted. This place is cheap, they give great portions, and every dish was delicious. Probably loaded with MSG but it’s worth it. 😂”

Good to know

“Chinese cuisine has earned a whole lot of fame from nearly every part of the world and our city is not an exception. Foodies are really fond of the amazingly satisfying sweet and sour flavors that they bring with them. At Chans Noodle Bar, we strive to provide our customers with the most truthful taste of the Chinese culinary. Let’s get a bit deeper into our menu. You might want to start your day with some punchy flavors and our Appetizers like Steak & Cheese Spring Rolls, Satay Chicken on Skewers, sesame prawn toast, brisket stew beef noodle soup etc. would surely do the trick for you.”
