They deliver pretty quick too compared to some of the other restaurants in Carlow. The only thing I would say they could do to improve would be if they had pictures of what all the dishes actually are. I'd love to try more things but if I'm honest end up ordering the same thing most of the time. Highly recommended if you need to satisfy an aul Chinese craving!!

I ordered food before and i paid for a big bottle of drink and got one small can of coke. Not happy at all. Annoyed and disappointed, wont be ordering from here again.

Long have I discarded Stars & Awards it is the Dining Experience I refer to and look for.

Any table of your choice can be reserved, Chef may surprise you with a complimentry special dish - this will be divine and one will find and be amazed with the staff.

Loved the vibes of this place and the wait staff, though incredibly busy, still made the time to make sure we had everything we needed as food was delivered to our table. We can honestly say we did not have one bad bite of food. To our surprise, the Spice Bag was the thing we thought was the least impressive of the bunch. Still very good, but everything else was so much better. Wish there was a little more chicken in it. The Pan Fried Dumplings were maybe some the best we ever had. Do not skip the Cucumber Salad, this dish is incredibly underrated. The Chicken Satay was very good, not sure if I would get it again. The Thai Basil Beef was a stunner! Huge flavor bomb! In fact, do not skip any beef dish they have. The Crispy Chili Chicken was the best part of a Spice Bag, without the fries. The Duck Wings had amazing flavor, wished they were served a bit hotter. Everything I am mentioning as a criticism is slight and minor FYI. If we ever come back to Dublin, we are coming straight here! Also, do not sleep on their cocktail menu! Amazing drinks!

We needed to make reservations a day or two ahead. Yikes. We tried the pub by our b&b but the restaurant area has a private party and the bar is full of sports fanatics. So we walk past Lemongrass and like the Thai menu and we see open tables. Bad for them but good for us is that a party of 25 didn't show. Bottom line: we had very good meals beginning with the most incredible dim sim steamed dumplings. They were far superior to any Chinese dumplings that I've had. The waitstaff was super, the atmosphere was bright and pleasant, and they have a gluten free menu. This was a great stumble upon.

I had low expectations as most Asian food we have had to date in Ireland has been a bit disappointing. This place was surprisingly good.

The owners are visibly proud of what they are offering, from the food to the atmosphere. I've been there countless times and I cannot find one negative thing to say about it. The menu is quite tame, it's what I would call "european chinese", but all the ingredients are fresh, the sauces are full of flavor, the meats and fish are cooked very well... They also have take-out to the same standard. If you live in town, just get the dart to Greystones, it's worth the hassle!
