We arrived at 2:30pm and the place was packed which is usually a good sign. The staff is very friendly and attentive without hovering which is a nice. The starter soup of corn egg and chicken looked perfect but was super salty. The sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice was good. I had fruit for dessert which was fresh not canned. My husband had the spring roll, curry chicken and fried banana. All where good but not memorable. I gave it three stars because, except for the over salted soup, it was good but standard Chinese food. Nothing to 'yelp' home about. read more

Dim sum is good! In fact, Dunlin has a few Chinese dim-sum restaurants but, this restaurant in a good location and quite reasonable prices of their menus. read more

Maybe the dim sum is good but I can't say the same for dinner . Absolutely flavorless food . Chicken with cashews was literally boiled chicken . Ginger beef had no ginger , slivers of beef with onion and a few scallions ... no ginger at all ... None. Spicy prawns were just ok . 9 euro for a bowl of white rice for 3 people . Ok I'm from New York so maybe I'm spoiled by Chinatown but this place was terrible . It's as if someone with a vague idea of Chinese food decided to try his hand at opening a restaurant. Total waste of 75 euro read more

Yum! That's how I would describe the food served in Good World restaurant. The Chinese restaurants of Dublin have much improved over the last 10 years or so and no more do they serve 'Chinese food for Irish people' they have authentic Chinese food on their menus. You can find chicken feet, Congee (preserved duck egg soup), Dim sum and a variety of delicious dishes. I also love the fact that they lay the table not with knives and forks but with proper Chinese chopsticks and bowls. This is still one of my favourite restaurants that I have been coming too since I came back from London in 2000. When I first came back you couldn't get dim sum or such but now most Chinese restaurants have caught up! Good World remains one of my favourite. read more

At the tail end of a week long trip to Ireland, I was jonesing for some of the good stuff. No, not a pint of the black stuff (of which I'd had plenty). No, not a whiskey.A plate of beer chow fun. A hearty staple of Chinese-American food that satisfies and relieves. I came in here a bit before 12:30 PM and then it got packed. Locals and tourists. Chinese and Irish. The price was a bit expensive (around 15 euros total) but it was tasty and worth it. read more

I go to the Good World for some home-style comfort food. I believe this is as good as it gets in terms of authenticity. I've been quite a handful of times and most of the time I order the same thing - the stir-fry beef rice noodles (not sure if this is the description on the menu as I usually order off-menu. As an Asian foodie, I use various dishes as a measure of quality and this one definitely makes the mark. Last night however, I had dinner there and for the first time I tried their set menu for the early bird. They had two sets to choose from and I went with the more expensive set for the choice of mains (Appetizer and dessert lists were the same). Set A was €16.99, Set B was €19.99 for a 3 course meal. I had the hot and sour soup and the Roast duck with banana fritter as dessert. Hot and sour soup somehow was not like my mum's homemade version, although I couldn't expect true home-cooked goodness can I? :) Soup consistency was thick the way I like them, but the taste as a bit off mark for me. The roast duck as DELISH, but I would say it was a bit too much on the fattier side for me, although I could probably request otherwise next time. The dessert was a nice surprise, I didn't know I could get fritters anywhere in Dublin. They're not made quite the way it should be caramelized and crystallized, but instead it was a lightly breaded banana topped with a caramel sauce. Still very good though and left me thoroughly stuffed. My friend and I shared a bottle of white wine (€19.99) and we paid about €30 each. Thoroughly stuffed and satisfied, although I don't think I will order off a set menu again. Their full menu has so much more to offer, and if you get enough people you can order enough variety to share (as their portions are sharing size). YUM! read more

First time here and , was for family lunch Staff where nice and explained the menu to me . Wine menu good value , shame no beer !

The service was not the best but the food hit the spot when you are craving some Chinese food in Dublin. I would eat here again. A little on the pricy side too. I wiuld recommend the dim sum. read more

Large plate, nice price, good taste for a Chinese! Normally if you come in 2, you can have a very nice meal with about €35. read more

Nice shrimp. A bit pricey if you order a full course. Loved the porridge - I actually wrapped the rest of it for the next day's breakfast and it tasted just as good. read more

Terrible. If I could give this 1/2 a star I would. The chow mien was so gross, slimy and such an odd flavor. I honestly ate maybe two bites. My friend got the chili chicken and the piece of chicken is a joke. It's literally the width of my very small pinky finger. It's supposed to be shredded chicken, it's actually just air and bread. Bluk!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!! read more

Ate here again tonight. The sweet and sour chicken was amazing. The scallop dim sum is so tasty!

Pros Quick service OK food Cons . Very expensive, eg curry does not come with rice or chips . No free prawn crackers . Only one beer choice (but sold as wine!) Guess someone is not paying their beer licence!! . Paper table cloth cheapness the place. . 53 euro for 3 main meals, 2 chips, one beer and one coke. read more

I love the Good World Restaurant. I'd say it's the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Dublin. Huge menu. Has a real old world atmosphere and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. It's not very expensive either and you will see lots of families eating there. Well recommended. read more

Great flavors.. very inviting.. we had a bottle of wine..appt. And entree and dessert for 50€ pretty good deal.. enjoyed it very much. Gets crowded fast read more

Very very good! It was my first night in Dublin and I wasn't sure what was good so I tried this place since it was close to my lodgings and wasn't disappointed at all! Great food! read more

My family in Dublin loves this Chinese restaurant, so I've been here quite a few times. The service is always great...they're helpful and strike the right balance between being accommodating but not too lingering. The food is also consistently good with a great selection of entrees and dim sum. I particularly love their calamari and egg tarts. Shu mai and Har Gow are also super yummy. Great place to eat if you find yourself in town. read more

We're from Portland, Oregon in the U.S.A. and there is NO Chinese restaurant that is as good as this. We only write reviews for great places, get the schezuan beef & chicken chow mein!!! read more

Best Northern, Shanghai style Chinese food in Ireland. Highly recommend the dishes that come in the hot pots, and their dim sum of course.

Great value for money - you get good Chinese food and I highly recommend the DimSum!

Good place for Dimsum and great value for money. We were a group of 4 people and it costed us 10e only for each which is nice because we were so full at the end!!! read more

For me this is currently the best Chinese restaurant I know in Dublin. I order the Chinese menu and usually end up eating the duck and pork. The food is delicious. Some Chinese, some people eating curry and chips and some foodies. Great dim sum, friendly and discreet staff. I go often. Def read more

Good quality Chinese food. Prices are reasonable and selection pretty standard. We felt a bit rushed but the food was good. The lettuce wraps were nice and spring rolls had a nice spice. read more

Went off others rec's and the food was great! A little pricey but it was a very good meal. Ordered the mixed meat dumplings and shared the Chern Bo Chicken. They said it was spicey but it could have used more spice. Overall great experience! read more

Right in the heart of Dublin, this Chinese restaurant is great value. The food portions are large, you never wait long for your food and the quality is good. This is a good place to pop into for lunch or if you are in town with your kids. The restaurant is set out quite spaciously and the waiting staff are always on hand. read more

This is a good Chinese restaurant in the centre of Dublin. The food is good and reasonably priced especially the set lunch option. The staff are helpful and the restaurant is quite big so doesn't feel too crowded. I've never had to book a table for lunch so a good place to go if out shopping in the city centre. read more

Good food, but with takeaway kinda service. Went on Saturday night with friend. Food was good, just dishes were served in a very time. Ok we do understand it might because a busy night. Only dine there for 1.5hours, we didn't asked bill, but already bring the takeaway box leave on the table. In the other hand, probably ask us to leave. Then we asked bill, been told need go to the counter. Very takeaway like service. We have to pack takeaway food by ourself, and pay at counter. feels sorry to the quality of food been treat as a takeaway restaurant. read more

I have been eating at the Good World restaurant for many years to satisfy my love of Dim Sum. The variety of the menu is excellent but you need to arrive early for lunch at the weekend as menu items can run out and tables get taken very quickly. I always find comfort in the fact that so many tables are taken up by Chinese family's suggests to me that the food is authentic and on occasions our party have been the only Europeans/Irish in the restaurant which make me feel like we made the right choice. During the week the clientele are generally business types and tourists who order from the lunch set menu (never personally eaten off it but looks tasty) My only criticism is that they could modernise the toilet facilities and possibly change the carpet as it was getting a bit threadbare on my last visit. read more

Absolutely Faboulas. Four of us tried this restaurant last & we are so happy we did. The Dims are the best I have tasted in Dublin. The Aromatic Duck was so crispy I wanted more. The staff were great & so friendly. Portions were perfect. We were delighted with the bill aswell not overpriced. We are looking forward to our next visit already. Highly recommended. If u like Dim Sums make sure and ask for the chinese menu which has pages to choice from. read more

Food is usually good, but not fancy and on the level of Standard Chinese Food. Good if you are just looking for a quick bite and not wanting to impress anyone. read more

Best Chinese in Dublin. Can't get bette than the crispy squid, hagow (prawn dumplings), Cantonese style duck, pancakes, Vietnamese spring rolls. I always roll out of the place never having spent too much. read more

This was our Easter lunch, and it was great. Delicious dim sum, plus excellent food we ordered off-menu for the kids (chicken and broccoli, plain noodles). The wait staff was friendly and we ordered more than we could eat but we were happy to be stuffed. read more

Bad food and way to expensive! On top of that the wait staff is very unfriendly. Go someplace else!
