This restaurant is run by the same people that owned the Ambassador Restaurant in Cork City, it was…read moreCork's finest Chinese Restaurant, indeed of Corks best restaurants period. It has the same delicious food and great service that the Ambassador was famous for! Huge menu, and everything is freshly prepared, with the best of ingredients. We had the House selection to start with, a wonderful selection of starters, spring rolls, ribs, satay chicken, prawn bread, prawns in a crispy batter, we finished the lot! Almost forgot to mention the fresh, fresh prawn crackers you munch on while waiting for your food, simply the best! For the main I had the duck with plum sauce and boiled rice. Incredible flavour, so crispy yet moist, and the sauce heavenly! One of my companions had the monkfish, I sneaked a piece, gorgeous! Smashing deserts! I often find the deserts in Chinese restaurants a bit bland, but these people have learned what Irish people like, double chocolate pudding, apple pie, Baileys cheese cake to mention a few! For those of us who miss the Ambassador, this is the Ambassador just a few miles outside of Cork City, it does not have the cloth table covers and cloth napkins, just the same great food and service.

See 2009 Cork review at http://corkfood.blogspot.com/…read more YING'S PALACE Made an overdue visit to Ying's Palace Chinese Restaurant last night and found it even better value than previously and that without any drop at all in quality. I usually go for one of the set meals. They have one at less than 16 euro and three between twenty and twenty three euro. We (these set meals are for two minimum) started with the prawn crackers and then had the soup, followed by shredded duck with little pancakes, salad and sauce. Main course consisted of two sizzling dishes: beef on one, king prawns on the other, both gorgeous. With these menus, you get a free glass of wine each and house wines start at €4.90 a glass. Coffee was included in the price and they also surprised us with some beautifully cut fresh fruit as a dessert (not on the menu). And another surprise on the way out when we presented with a Chinese calendar on a scroll. Nice restaurant and nice people. The takeaway does very well indeed but is a shame that more don't take advantage of this excellent restaurant where the prices are very reasonable indeed.

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive (especially the manager Ming), they always recognize you (if you frequent more than once) and their positive attitude makes the place a fun and relaxed place to dine. I LOVE spicy food, so I usually opt for the a trio of pork, chicken and shrimp with egg fried rice with spicy szceuchan sauce to boot! Delish! Also, while many other similar restaurants would avoid putting too much shrimp in such a dish (as it is relatively expensive on their part) I am always impressed with this place as they don't scrimp of the shrimp! Their main courses are fairly substantial, so if you don't have a hearty appetite, perhaps skipping the starters would be ideal! That being said, the spring rolls are a must if you feel up to the challenge! Have often frequented the place on special occasions, e.g. birthdays, and the manager always brings out a free dessert for the VIP and the staff all sing happy birthday, which is a real treat, the cherry on top so to speak! Takeaway service is also an option, and there is a seating area available for those waiting to collect their order, with newspapers and magazines to read while you wait. There is also free Wifi, which is always a bonus!

Friday night I ate at Emperor's Palace after catching up with friends at Phil Carroll's…read more I was curious to try Chinese food in Ireland. As I drove through much of Ireland even the smallest of villages had at least one Chinese restaurant. There didn't seem to be any other ethnic restaurants apart from your occasional spotting of an Indian restaurant. So being the adventurous person that I am, I decided to try Emperor Palace. First of all, the manager Ming is a real delight. He made sure we were looked after from beginning to end. I really appreciated his hospitality. The other staff members were wonderful as well. We started with what is called lettuce wraps (in the US). I don't know what's is called on the menu but it's ground beef, spices, and cups of lettuce. It was delicious. For a main course we had a couple of sauteed lobsters, served on top of lo mein noodles. We had a side of asparagus. Everything was very good. Believe it or not, they make a delicious Irish coffee. I highly recommend it. Do stop by if in the Clonmel/Cashel area. Enjoy!
