There were a lot of fresh and dried chilies in the dish. The sauce was savory and really flavorful. It went fantastic on top of white rice. The steamed dumplings are actually boiled dumplings. They're alright. The Ginger Scallion Chicken is also just alright. It's poached chicken with green onions on top of it. Then they ladle hot oil on top of the chicken and pour dark soy sauce. It was a little too sweet for me because of the dark soy sauce. The Siu Mai were OK. But I wouldn't order it again because it's not their specialty (they're not Cantonese). Empty during lunch time but we passed by this place at night and it was full of Chinese people. That's how you know it's legit.

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!

Before my trip to Ireland, I kept seeing everyone post about the "spice bag," so of course I had to…read moretry one for myself. This place was packed, with a line out the door. It's also very tight inside with limited seating, and there's usually someone waiting right behind you for a spot. That said, the food was good. I got the spice bucket with shredded chicken, chicken balls, and chicken wings, and everything was tasty. It's a great little snack, especially after a night at the bar. I also tried the biang biang noodles with dan dan sauce. They were definitely not what I expected, but they were saucy and peanutty, so if that's your thing, you'll probably enjoy them. The satay chicken bites were also pretty good--light, crispy, and topped with a little sauce. One tip: know exactly what you want before you get to the front of the line! I forgot to order curry sauce and ended up waiting forever just to get back in line, and then waited even longer for the sauce.

Nestled in the multicultural area of Dublin 1, Lee's Charming Noodles is an unassuming, "blink and…read moreyou'll miss it" little cafe, but don't let its unassuming exterior fool you: it's a Dublin favorite with flavorful dishes that pack a punch. Once inside, the space is compact yet welcoming, with cramped and casual seating, and simple décor that makes you feel like you've stepped into a local favourite rather than a tourist trap. The vibe is relaxed and informal: great for a quick lunch, casual dinner, or late-night noodle craving. At around 7:30pm on Valentine's Day, my party of four arrived at the restaurant, which was packed full. However, the lady at the counter told us that our wait would be shorter if we divided up into parties of two; with two tables, we ended up only waiting about ten minutes. The menu is extensive, with the eponymous noodles (with a variety of soups, fried dishes, etc.), various proteins, and vegetables. Each table comes with salt, pepper, vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil to doctor up your dishes as you'd like, which we appreciated. We ordered their House Special Pan-Fried Noodle (€17.80), with beef, chicken, pork, and prawns. It didn't seem like a large portion, but it was surprisingly filling, and not overly greasy, despite being fried. The noodles maintained an al-dente toothsomeness, soaking up a savory, almost gravy-like sauce, and all of the meat/prawns were cooked nicely. The Szechuan Style Mapo Tofu (€13.80) was truly a surprising delight; a staple dish in almost every Chinese restaurant, Lee's version is absolutely lovely. The tofu is soft and pillowly, soaking up an addictive sauce with that numbing mala spice that keeps you coming back for more. Rice is extra (€2.50), but I would highly recommend it to mix with the mapo tofu. Their Hot & Sour Braised Beef Noodle Soup (€11.80, extra €2 to switch to flat and extra wide hand-pulled noodles) was delicious; topped with succulent chunks of melt-in-your-mouth braised beef, bok choy, and hand-pulled extra-wide noodles soaked up the spicy, acidic broth with a hit of vinegar. Additionally, their Chicken Noodle (€11.80) was another hit; it's a warm, comforting, clean broth, with tender slices of dark meat chicken, and we ordered it with rice noodles. We absolutely loved our meal at Lee's; it's the kind of place where the focus is squarely on the food rather than ambience, and the atmosphere reflects that. We didn't expect to find such a hidden gem (and perhaps the best Chinese food we've had in Europe), offering generous portions and satisfying flavors without a hefty bill. Certainly a recommendation if you're in the area!

We were leaving an American college football game. When we walked in, it was a very quiet, sedate restaurant with diners in nice clothes. By the time we left, several other tables had been filled with other football fans, and the atmosphere was quite jolly. The staff was quite welcoming to us all as we commiserated the loss with each other over a pint, a glass of wine, etc. Would highly recommend. ESPECIALLY instead of waiting in the queue for taxis and going to eat pub food.
