Possibly the best dim sum in Dublin!! Okay, I've not actually eaten at every Chinese restaurant in Dublin, so that was an unqualified statement. But, I have eaten in hundreds of Chinese restaurants in countries across the globe, thousands of Chinese meals over the years. I've had weeks where I eat dim sum every single day, so....I've eaten some Chinese food...and I know when I find something special. I had the pleasure of eating here for the past four days, so I got to try a fair bit of the menu. The selection for both the dim sum and the regular menu are good, all the well known favorites are in there and they a have a few more unique dishes too. The dim sum here ranks among some of the tastiest I've tried, each dish packed with flavor and expertly prepared. I can honestly say it surpassed all my expectations finding such a flavorsome dim sum spot in Ireland. The ham sui gok (pork croquette) is phenomenal here, perfectly crispy, not oily, perfect glutinous bite and sweet pork filling. The XLB (steamed bun shanghai style), while I prefer a thinner dough, has one of the most delicious soup filings I have ever tried. The lo mai gai (rice wrapped in leaf) was also worth calling out here, beautifully sticky! The har gau (shrimp dumpling) has a beautifully fresh and light flavor. Honestly, all of the dim sum here was fresh and delicious, I didn't find anything here that was not good, and I tried most of it, even the chicken feet. :) They also serve dim sum at dinner time!! (which for people that dont eat much dim sum, that is unusual, it's mostly served only at daytime/lunch) On the main menu the roast duck cantonese style was the true champion...beyond exceptional, served off the bone which is unusual, but very pleasant! Perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle, easily one of the best dishes here. I don't know the Chinese name for this one but now I feel I have to learn it. :D The staff were all courteous and polite, and by day 4 would be greeted with smiles and nods. They would even come talk to me. It gave me that family run restaurant vibe, which I love. I brought my whole team here on the third day, we had some very selective eaters, including 2 vegetarians and one person who swore they did not like Chinese food, by the end of the meal everyone had found something they loved. I thought the prices were fair, not low, not high either, seemed about right to me. I don't understand the people who gave bad reviews, perhaps they are not used to this style of cuisine? I could not find anything to knock here (well except maybe a thinner dough on the XLB), generally everything here was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor and perfect texture. It's a solid 5 out of 5 for me, and a definite stop on my next trip through Dublin. read more

Rude staff, unreasonable policies, not family-friendly. Brought a group of 5 adults and 4 kids, under the age for 6, youngest being 2 to Ka Shing and were forced to pay $15 per person for EVERYONE, including kids who don't eat a full meal. Absolutely unreasonable. When we raised our concerns, the staff was disrespectful and unwelcoming. We also waited far too long just to have our order taken, with zero urgency or professionalism shown. This place clearly doesn't care about families or customer experience. Skip it. Your money and your time are better spent somewhere that actually appreciates its guests. read more

Food 4 stars. Service 3 stars. $15 minimum per person. Hard stop. Bustling restaurant with a vast menu including dim sum. We didn't want a ton of food as we have no where to keep it in our hotel. The photo is our leftovers that we can't take. All in all a solid choice and probably a 3.5 in total. Toilets are downstairs and had no towels. The food... delicious. Just know that the mean old lady will give you a hard time if you don't order at least min $15 per person. Good luck! read more

Much better than I remembered. Went for lunch, could not resist ordering dim sum. Tried several of the dumpling dishes, aimed for more unique flavors, as well as a couple of my traditional favorites. The steamed pork buns were excellent, a good ratio of pork (which was also well prepared) to bun. Had to order fried pork croquettes, my guilty pleasures, which were okay but not world changing. The royal dumplings were probably the surprise hit, a really nice flavor. Also pork shumai was cooked perfectly. The only dumpling I would not order again were the seafood treasure, which while not bad I found the dumpling skin a little chewy. Overall, an excellent dim sum experience. Also ordered tea, got a huge pot, which was nice. read more

Another legit Chinese resto in Dublin. The duck was to die for and their siu mai was one of the best I've ever had anywhere.

Was greeted and seated promptly. The service is okay, they sit you down take your order and bring you your food, and then bring you your check when you are done. No checking in on you during your meal to see how you are doing or if you need anything. The ambiance of the restaurant is very upbeat and comfortable. It feels like you are in China, with the decor & so many Asian families gathered together and enjoying their meals. Now onward to the food! I ordered steamed shrimp dumplings, these were very delicious and traditional tasting! Each bite brought me comfort! For my main meal, I ordered Kung Pao chicken which was very flavorful and appetizing! It came with (fried rice) so they say, but it seemed more like Jasmine rice to me! the meal was very comforting, and I left not a single crumb! This is a delicious and authentic establishment! Though fine tuning their customer service with warmth would take them up a star to 5 stars! Cheers to good eats! read more

The food here while it may be authentic , was not good to me. I felt like I was being judged the whole time I was there for some reason. You also have to order a minimum per person. Service was extremely slow, and I thought we were going to have to get the waiter for our check before I finally got him to let us pay. We had chicken chow mein, potstickers and chicken with orange sauce. Potstickers tasted like cooking oil. Ate two and couldn't stomach anymore. read more

Just stopped in for a lovely lunch this afternoon. Dumplings were absolutely fantastic and the beef in plack bean sauce is ridiculously tasty. Will definitely come back! read more

A fish tank of gold fish greets you upon entering the restaurant where you'll find an assortment of small and large tables. The menu is extensive with some options (e.g., dim sum) only available during certain hours but definitely do inquire as they are more than happy to heat something up for you. The staff wasn't very attentive nor helpful with suggestions. The portion sizes are average and the prices reasonable. Definitely not a place to go out of your way for but a convenient place for authentic Chinese food. read more

Have been there multiple times and my experiences were great. Authentic Chinese appetizers and dishes ( I've been to China and my wife is Chinese lol). Service has always been great for us. Great variety as well read more

This place was a surprise as they had genuine Cantonese food. The hot and sour soup have pork and shrimp, and it does not taste very vinegary. The Ong Choi vegetable is a surprise here in dublin. We travel all of Ireland for two weeks and had chinese food a couple of times. A lot of these Chinese restaurants does not have a lot of vegetables dishes. The seafood hot pot is very tasty. If you looking for authentic Cantonese Chinese restaurant, I recommend yiu try this one. See attached pictures on the dishes we ordered. read more

Had the pleasure of dining at Ka Shing last night ( Friday ) , and the Experience was fantastic ! The hostess recommended 2 seafood dishes ( Geo Duck & Razor Clams) and to our delight they were excellent and really fresh ! The staff snd service was great and although we are only vacationing here for 4 days , we will return in a few days for Dim Sum. We were pleasantly surprised to have such great Chinese food here in Dublin snd I enjoyed writing this review ! read more

We ate here on Sunday afternoon for my sons 18th birthday. We had a large selection of Dim Sum and a few classic dishes also, the shredded duck pancakes were inhaled by the youngest while for me the best dish was the Green Beans, delicious. The Dim Sum were excellent, the only one we didn't get was the BBQ Pork Puff, it was sold out! Great food. read more

I am back again for the fourth time, first time in 2021. I ordered the same dishes that I liked the first time (dim sum dishes, sticky rice in lotus leaves, combination fried rice, and kai lan) and two new dim sum dishes (scallops rice rolls and cold chicken feet). The cold chicken feet was my first time and was unexpectedly tasty since I have had only the boneless steam version. This dish is easier eaten by hand and will go well with an alcohol drink. read more

Thank you god for letting this place be within walking distance to my hotel! I'm originally from Hong Kong and currently live in San Francisco, I've been on the road in Europe for a week on business trip and have been craving Chinese food like no other. I came to this place based on some other super positive trip advisor reviewer who was from HK, and of course, I can trust a fellow Hong Konger. Indeed, this place is super legit, and is as close to HK home cooking I'll get anywhere. I was close to tears when I realized they even had ginger pork feet, like WUT! So I grubbed down on some pork feet and runny egg & shrimp stir fry hor fun (if you know, you know). The quality of the food was decent, and hit the spot if you're craving Cantonese/HK food. I've decided to come here for dinner every night for the remainder of my trip in Dublin. read more

Very apt name for such an opulent venue! Everywhere you look there are chandeliers, gilded furniture, crystal and glass - there's even a gold encrusted menu... (disappointingly, the bathrooms are plain, was hoping for a golden throne at the least, but never mind...) This is the first time I've had yum cha / dim sum in Dublin, after spending many a Sunday in the US and Australia indulging. This was a pretty decent version, although there are no trolleys tempting you into new things, which is a ritual I do enjoy in other countries, though on the other hand, at least this way you are less likely to over-indulge! The food was all of a good standard, and the service was decent. It's a different type of Sunday brunch - you won't find no eggs Benedict around here - and definitely worth giving a lash! I'd like to return for an evening meal too as I'm sure the standard would be just as sound. read more

Great dim sum at reasonable prices (approx €4 a dish) and friendly service, which is pretty unexpected in a traditional Chinese restaurant. The place has also been spruced up to look opulent, slightly bordering on tacky ;) Definitely be back for more dim sum goodies. For the uninitiated, order the har gow, siu mai, char siu bao and har cheong fun. No chicken feet surprises! You're welcome. *wiggle* read more

Found this place after a long daytrip to Cliffs of Mohr. I was excited to see they serve dim sum, you just have to ask for this menu. We arrived later in the evening and some of the dim sum items weren't available after 6pm...not sure why. Nevertheless, we ordered our usual dishes that we get in NYC and Boston Chinatown. We were very impressed about the freshness and taste, did not taste like it was frozen and reheated! Very similar to back home (Chinatown NYC) taste! Portions were traditional, soups were enough to share for 2. If you ask for the dim sum menu, you will find more of the traditional chinese dishes (stuff my dad would order for me). Highly recommended!!! read more

After a long day of sight seeing, my wife was craving some Chinese food with rice! We were hoping for some chinese BBQ from the pictures, but they were sold out for the day. Looks like they have a busy crowd for lunch for their dim sum. Dinner is still packed but we were able to get seated immediately. We ordered their special salt prawns, the spicy fried chicken and a stir fried choy. Of the dishes came out quickly and perfectly seasoned. I am still shocked that no matter where I travel in the world there is decent Chinese food to be had. read more

Looking from the outside you might just take this place as another dingy Chinese restaurant in town. That's certainly not the case though - this one is slightly fancier and more expensive. The food is your standard westernised Chinese fare, though markedly pricier than the usual. The food does seem of higher quality however so it's not a huge issue. The interior is what sells it. This place looks like an upscale restaurant pulled straight out of Hong Kong. If you're looking for a decent Chinese place on the south side after a long day of shopping then this is probably your best bet. read more

I think this is the best Chinese I've had in Dublin. Four of us came here on a Sunday afternoon for Dim Sum, luckily we had Mr Tim L. to do all the ordering. We had a really great variety of dishes and they were all around the €4 mark. I lost track of how much we had, but by the end I was stuffed and the bill only came to €16 (incl tip!). The service was very good two, the tea pot never ran dry ;-) read more

This is one of the worst restaurants I've been to in Dublin. The waiter was extremely rude and condescending. He didn't take a nut allergy seriously. None of the meals came with rice. Furthermore, we didn't receive napkins until we were paying and had to ask for them. read more

As a Chinese student who has been living in HK for several years, I've already fed up with either Cantonese dim sum or BBQ meat. However, when you're thousand miles away from hometown and have no access to traditional dishes, you find yourself just desperate for them! God, thanks Kashing for refreshing my memory about my days in HK with absolutely authentic Cantonese cuisines! Don't miss the BBQ meat, it might be pricy however wonderful experience worth your money! read more

The perfect Asian experience! Brilliant and extravagant dinning room really gives the classic Chinese feel. Great selection and variety on the Menu and at excellent value too! Everyone at my table were 100% stratified (which is rare with my parents) Even the bathrooms where absolutely spotless! Can't wait to visit again, one of the best meals I've had this summer! read more

Walking in, I thought I had inadvertently walked into Liberace's living room, the place is gilt to the nines, palatial style, which isn't my taste at all but I got over it pretty quickly. One plus side to the scale of the place, is that you can easily seat a group of 8 at a lovely round table down the back and can all see each other (conducive to good chats)! I ordered the steamed sea bass with ginger, a HUGE delicious fish cooked whole, head on! It eyeballed me the entire time I was eating, but it was gorgeous, well cooked and tasty. They'll fillet it for you if you prefer, but I didn't really mind. :) Friends who go here a lot swear by the dumplings, but I don't really know what makes a good one, so can't comment on them! They have a huge menu, but for the fish alone, I'll be back. read more

The service is not really good, the food is good but not what I was expecting, the prices are little bit expensive.

Great food, authentic Chinese with dim sum all day. Good service too!! Great congee (pork and preserved egg), so-so Shanghai dumplings, steamed tofu roll and mixed meat fried dumpling were perfect! Green beans are great and good value for €10! read more

Ohhh amazing dim sum! Such a nice place for family gathering or a romantic dinner. My friends and I did not make a reservation so we had to rush our food but they had some amazing dim sum choice. We will def come back to this place! read more

Seriously dying for "non-pub" food and found this place! Decor is beautiful by Chinese restaurant standards. Great find in Dublin. I would come back here if I am ever in Dublin again. Dishes orders: razor clams, beef chow fun, garlic stir fry vegetables Razor clams were fresh! service = very nice and quick; attentive Price = very pricey but worth it if you are vacationing and dying for Chinese/non pub food read more

Best Chinese food in Dublin. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was fresh and not greasy. Ordered dumplings (excellent!), turnip cake (mild), and spring rolls to start. For mains, had duck, special fried rice, chicken curry and wonton soup. All was piping hot and excellent. Highly recommend and nice atmosphere, to boot. read more

Awful experience. Went in at 8:25pm and was greeted by a very unwelcoming and reluctant waiter with a sour face and a very typical "westerners style chinese takeaway" menu full of over priced dishes.. Sat down and 15 minutes later we walked out having been left sat there with no staff coming back to us to make an order. Won't be going here again. read more

Beautiful restaurant! The shrimp dumplings were amazing. Also we weren't rushed whatsoever.

Really nice food but there wasn't a great atmosphere in the restaurant! Quite expensive too , 18-24 euro or so for a dish not including rice. Having said that, the portions are huge, we definitely ordered too much! Waiters are very friendly and helpful too. read more

Ka Shing - Nothing better than ordering so much food that you get to bring half of it home .. - Szechuan Near Me - Dublin, D

The staff were very welcoming and pleasant. Fantastic food could not fault any dish. There is a early bird menu from 3:30-6:30 which is good value. The main menu its self is a little pricey, but don't mind paying for good food, so worth a visit. read more

A bit disappointed! Expected a more traditional Chinese cuisine. The food was ok(ish), service was good...

Newely refurbished with an impressive interior. Authentic chinese food, impressive selection on the menu.

I went there to dine with dim sum. Myself and my better half were in the mood to try different tastes and the small size of dim sums and the relatively affordable price would have given us the chance to try many dishes staying below 40 per person. The place was half empty and they welcomed us in very kindly. They set up the table and brought us water while we were given the time to check the menu. No dim sum in the menu. I could remember the dim sum menu was on the wall outside of the restaurant so I asked the waiter for the dim sum menu. The smile disappeared from his face and he rudely took the main menú from my hands and left me there without saying anything else. He came back few minutes later with the dim sum menu. He didn't give it to me at first. He opened it in front of me pointing at items in the menu listing the dim sums that were not available. almost half of them. The tone of his voice was quite rude and I had the impression he was challenging me to order something. We felt really unconfortable and we decided to leave the place without ordering. Terrible experience. I won't be back. read more

Last time I visited this restaurant it was called Millennium. Food was great back then. It has since had an extravagant Asian style make over. Ask for the dim sum menu when you call in here. The prices are fantastic and the quality of the food is amazing. 13 of us were here for dinner. The table was large, plenty of room and the staff were well able to cope with a large group. I would definitely recommend this Chinese restaurant. read more

My to go chinese, when the urge for dimsum hits me. Homemade is always the best. The selection is large and food is consistently good.

Wonderful dim sum snack for the wife and I on our first day in Dublin. Definitely recommend stopping in here for a meal as it was all wonderful and the other diners all were happy as well. read more
