Small noodle bar also serving full English breakfast. We had two noodle meals which were really nice. The breakfasts looked good too. Service was very friendly and we would definitely return.

Friendly staff and good table service with all day breakfast and plenty of noodle options on the menu. Lovely cappuccinos and affordable with toilet amenities.

Good food, at a good price. The owners are very friendly and the vibe of the place is probably the closest you will get, in Wales, to a small restaurant in the Philippines.

Discovered this little cafe. It's a bit of a travel from where I live but been missing Filipino food. The owner was nice. You can phone in to book table as it's very limited. Had the omelette and Pinoy pansit - really loved them, enjoyed the food. Certainly will visit again soon. It has customers toilet(i did'nt used it myself as not needed at that time). Just need a good/strong exhaust in the kitchen though. They accept take aways too(we did). Big servings so I think the price is just right.

All I'll say is try the all-day breakfast! You won't be disappointed. If that's not your thing, the noodles are just as good! Trouble is, it's so popular now, I can never get a seat!

An absolute AMAZING hidden gem in Mountain Ash. Outstanding food from full English Breakfast to stunning Noodles. Wonderful owners who are happy to adjust dishes to your preferred taste. You can also get a beautiful cup of tea or coffee too

I had the pancit pinoy dish at this delightful place this afternoon. It was delicious, ingredients were so fresh & it was cooked excellently. The place itself is nice & clean, and decorated vibrantly. The owner & staff were very friendly....Would recommend Kalan Cafe and Noddle Bar to anybody wanting to eat tasty, healthy authentic SE Asian food at reasonable prices in a nice atmosphere, and will be returning again myself in the near future.
