Tried several…read moreof the dumpling dishes, aimed for more unique flavors, as well as a couple of my traditional favorites. The steamed pork buns were excellent, a good ratio of pork (which was also well prepared) to bun. Had to order fried pork croquettes, my guilty pleasures, which were okay but not world changing. The royal dumplings were probably the surprise hit, a really nice flavor. Also pork shumai was cooked perfectly. The only dumpling I would not order again were the seafood treasure, which while not bad I found the dumpling skin a little chewy. Overall, an excellent dim sum experience. Also ordered tea, got a huge pot, which was nice.

We didn't want a ton of food as we have no where to keep it in our hotel. The photo is our leftovers that we can't take. All in all a solid choice and probably a 3.5 in total.

They always keep space for walk-ins and we were able to snag a seat for just enough time to have the All In for 2. You essentially get small plates of EVERYTHING on the menu to share, and for €20 per person, we figured why the hell not? The food was delicious from start to finish and absolutely worth the gracious price point. The service was quick and friendly and we were walked thru each dish as it arrived. The portions were perfect for the two of us and we left full and happy for a night of drinking whiskey around town. When I came back on my own for the second time, I was both thrilled and surprised that the All In for 1 was a massive amount of food for one person. The first few dishes had similar servings sizes as we got for 2 people, with the dumplings and onion pancake being halved. Again, I ate very well and was entirely ready for the rest of my night out after. Now: this is NOT traditional dim sum, but it's still fabulous dumplings and related small bites. I could eat an entire jar of the kimchi on its own. The peanut slaw is unusual but tasty. And now I'm writing this review I don't remember what it was called -- but it was a toasted dumpling of some kind with pancetta???? To die for !! Things to know: they'll never have a phone number and, like much of Ireland, the hours online are generally a suggestion so plan to either book a reservation online or swing by and poke your head in. The dining space is VERY small, so be prepared to get cozy with your table neighbors.

My favourite Chinese restaurant in Dublin, hands down!…read more My boyfriend introduced me to it as he had come here with his family when he was younger. He told me stories of the hoisin duck and every time we drove by he would stare wistfully at the restaurant. We eventually got the chance to visit together and he was totally right! It was delicious. I didn't even think I liked duck until that moment. They also do a delicious satay. And delicious everything else. When we're getting Chinese takeaway in the D15 area we will not order from anywhere else anymore. My favourite part about eating in the restaurant itself is the dim sum menu. I haven't fully explored it and only picked one for my starter but I am making it my mission to return and have just dim sum. Our friendly young waiter offered to help me pick out some dim sum dishes next time I return and I will be taking him up on his offer!

The place was acquired by the Ka Shing restaurant in downtown Dublin and changed its name to…read moreKaizen. Came here on a workday lunch and was seated in no time with plenty tables available. The place has a full Chinese menu plus dim sum, and I ordered three dim sums. The flat rice wrap came with abundant amount of BBQ pork stuffing. I do like the wraps being thin and slightly sticky and glutinous. Chicken feet were standard. Shiu mai packed bouncy shrimps and pork stuffing, could use a bit mushroom to add more texture. I think the food is worth4-4.5 stars, but it took quite a while for them to serve all the dishes, and occassionally the staff would have very loud discussions that sound a bit disturbing, so 4 stars.

This is a great chinese takeaway. I have it on speed dial, its also on justeat.ie The food here is excellent. The portions are massive and the menu is vast. they do great mid week special offers and also a selection of plain or "european" dishes if one of your crew dont do chinese. Hot n sour soup and honey spare ribs are always part of my order. The variety and price is very attractive. I've always received prompt service and always a free bag of prawn crackers. Kids love the food here to and we've tried all the other locals but this is the best of the lot.

We ordered their homemade dumplings which was boiled dipped in a special soy sauce. Veggies, beef, seafood, pork were all very good. Saw many folks ordering their hotpot which essentially is a boiling clay pot with veggies and your choice of protein . Tea and beer were reasonable. Simple decor and just table and chairs laid out. I do recommend this place if you're looking for delicious Chinese food without breaking the bank!

Best genuine Chinese we've had in Dublin. Heck, it's probably up there too if it were in LA…read more We were famished after a 2.5 hr movie at the Savoy on O'Connell and Chinese places were the only ones still open at 10:30pm. It's what we would've wanted anyway, but by the time we walked over, it was 10:45. There was only 1 other table still there and we were still greeted warmly, as we sheepishly popped our head in. We were presented with Chinese menus, which were not an issue for me, but my husband doesn't read Chinese. No problem, they had English menus as well. I noticed that the Chinese menu had a lot of 家常菜 or 'homestyle dishes', (at roughly 14-20 Euros) which are usually meant for sharing as a 4-top, or a family. Therefore, they're a bit more labor intensive and is not just a stir-fry/takeout menu. However, on the last few pages, there were smaller individual dishes at around 7-10Euros, and that's what we went with as we didn't want leftovers and wanted to eat quickly and turn in. As shown in the photos, we got 2 noodle soups and they turned out huge!!! I got the 3 seafood with mushrooms rice thick noodles (三鮮菇米線）while hubby got the beef noodle soup (牛肉麵). They didn't skimp on the meats, seafood, or the noodles. We devoured everything in roughly 10 minutes and polished off the pot of tea plus some lamb skewers by 11:05. The staff didn't seem bothered that we had overstayed closing time, and were still very courteous. I may be biased bc I very much love getting stuffed on noodles and soups, but this was one of the best meals I've had in Europe.
