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.

All of this is to be found in Waterford City in Restaurant 21. The choice of food available at any one time is amazing. There is food to suit any taste and is available at every serving. 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.

And I can't just come here and try one dish so of course I ordered far more than I can eat. Regrets? None. The Spice Bag was definitely delicious. The savory bites of crispy fries/chips and chunks of fried chicken tenders/chunks was a gut bomb bursting with that delectable asian flavor. I had to get the pickled cucumbers to help balance out the savory overload. Xian Famous Biang Biang noodles was my favorite though. So glad I ordered this dish! The hand-pulled noodles were pure perfection from the texture, thickness and flavor. The Chicken Satay was just ok. Good but outshined by the Biang Biang Noodles and Spice Bag. The lines can get pretty long here however, the service is fairly quick. The only issue most face is finding a seat in the small, cramped space. Most people take their items to-go or eat on the curb/street just outside. It was a cold day and I ordered too much food to stand around and also let my fries get cold. Fortunately, I was able to find a seat soon after I placed my order at the counter.

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.

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!
