“ Absolutely loved the food here especially the pork belly. Wasnt something i thought id like, but it was the best thing ever!! ”
“ This restaurant is a convenient spot for late-night dining when most other places are closed. The food was decent, with the foil fish and fresh crabs being our standout dishes, especially with the excellent spicy sauce. However, the service could use some improvement. While the manager was attentive and tried to get things to our table as quickly as possible, the rest of the staff seemed preoccupied with other tasks, which slowed things down. The place was quite busy, which is a good sign, and the prices offer good value for what you get. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but if they focus on improving their service, this place could easily be packed every night ”
“ I came here because I wanted to try my first real Irish spice bag and they had an ad out the front saying that they sold Irish spice bag. So my girlfriend and I go to table and sat down. I ordered a pint of Guinness and she got a grape juice. The pint of Guinness came out in a Heineken cup, which is not really that much of an issue, but maybe the people Guinness store house would be angry about that. I go and grape juice was okay when the food came out. My girlfriends prawn toast was okay, had better had worse. My spice bag came out on a plate, not even in the bag. It was nowhere near spicy enough, so I had to order more spice and use the entire amount of spice that they gave me. Then I needed to order curry sauce with it so I don’t really know if it’s a spice bag if you didn’t come in a bag and it’s not spicy. Also, it’s not really the restaurants fault, but a guy did flatulated twice next to us on a different table. The ambience in the restaurant is fine just like any old Asian restaurant nothing spesh. ”
“ I recently discovered this place, and I think it’s going to become my go-to spot for Chinese food! The flavors are absolutely exquisite, and the portions are incredibly generous. The rice comes in large servings, and the meat dishes are definitely worth it—not only delicious but also very filling. The stir-fried noodles are just as amazing! Service is quick, and the staff is super friendly, which makes the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ I’m obsessed with the food here—seriously, it’s that good! Every time I order, it hits the spot. My absolute favourite is mixed seafood in oyster sauce with those big, juicy prawns, mussels, squid rings, and the chunky, firm veg—such a perfect combo! Everything’s always cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. Service is always quick too, . Just top-tier all round. Can’t recommend them enough! ”
“ Not that great in terms of vegetrain food as i am vegetarian. There are not many vegetarian options here. I got a vegetarian spring roll, veg soup and something of tofu it was very bad in taste. For vegetarian people will not recommend this place. I liked the ambience and service was nice. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Karaoke room was good. There were many songs and 150 euro for Karaoke room was good price. They should focus on vegetarian options a lot as vegetarian food taste was not good. I later went to burger king for a plant based wopper. Please increase some vegetarian options and also focus on taste of vegetarian food you cook . ”
“ My husband and I came here for dinner. We were greeted by a friendly lady and seated immediately. We ordered the Fresh Chili Stir Fried Pork Belly, small order of Kimchi, Salted Duck Egg Yolk with Prawn, and Egg Fried Rice. The Stir fried pork belly was delicious and spicy, the prawns were so tasty and delicious, and the egg fried rice was the perfect complement for both. My husband and I so much enjoyed our food that even after 2 days of having eaten there we are still talking about it as the best “hits-the-spot” food we’ve had in Dublin. This is definitely our favorite restaurant in Dublin. We were initially wanting a Korean BBQ, but their Korean BBQ is a set meal with no sides like what we are used to in the U.S. There’s a more expensive option of it that come with sides but it was expensive for our liking. Still, since they have other items on the menu and we totally enjoyed what we ordered, we absolutely recommend this restaurant. ”
“ We order beef stir fry, fish in chili oil, Hong Kong fried rice, I like all of them but my fave is the fish soup in chili oil. ”
