For a local Chinese restaurant, Hin Keng is really as good as it gets. I've been going here since it opened and it is our first port of call for family celebrations; birthdays, graduations, confirmations, the lot!
The staff, headed by Thomas, come to know you by name and the food is unfailingly good. The menu is a mouth-watering mix of traditional Asian cuisine and more Westernised recipes so, everyone in your party is sure to find something they like.
For starters, order the Smoked Shredded Chicken and ask for a side of sweet and sour sauce for dipping (There has never been any extra charge for this in my experience). For mains, the Chilli Beef is impeccable, as is the Chi Chi Chicken. Opt instead for the Fried Noodles and Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry as sides; you'll be glad you did.
As with most Chinese restaurants (and restaurants in general now that I think about it), desserts are bought in and, really, aren't worth the money. Instead, opt for an extra side or starter to share.
More often than not, you'll be offered a complimentary drink when you request the bill. This gives you a welcome opportunity to sit back, relax and let your food baby shrink! A standard meal for two people including a bottle of wine tends to hit around €80. Not at all bad for a fresh, flavourful and MSG-free meal! read more
