I heard from multiple sources that I couldn't leave Dublin without trying the Spice Bag from Xian…read moreStreet Food. 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.

The pork buns (I may not be spelling it right) were recommended by our server and were delicious! Our main dish was the sea bass and thank goodness we two split it because it was quite filling.

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.

We ordered their homemade dumplings which was boiled dipped in a special soy sauce. Veggies, beef, seafood, pork were all very good.

I do recommend this place if you're looking for delicious Chinese food without breaking the bank!

Best genuine Chinese we've had in Dublin. Heck, it's probably up there too if it were in LA…read more We were famished after a 2.5 hr movie at the Savoy on O'Connell and Chinese places were the only ones still open at 10:30pm. It's what we would've wanted anyway, but by the time we walked over, it was 10:45. There was only 1 other table still there and we were still greeted warmly, as we sheepishly popped our head in. We were presented with Chinese menus, which were not an issue for me, but my husband doesn't read Chinese. No problem, they had English menus as well. I noticed that the Chinese menu had a lot of 家常菜 or 'homestyle dishes', (at roughly 14-20 Euros) which are usually meant for sharing as a 4-top, or a family. Therefore, they're a bit more labor intensive and is not just a stir-fry/takeout menu. However, on the last few pages, there were smaller individual dishes at around 7-10Euros, and that's what we went with as we didn't want leftovers and wanted to eat quickly and turn in. As shown in the photos, we got 2 noodle soups and they turned out huge!!! I got the 3 seafood with mushrooms rice thick noodles (三鮮菇米線）while hubby got the beef noodle soup (牛肉麵). They didn't skimp on the meats, seafood, or the noodles. We devoured everything in roughly 10 minutes and polished off the pot of tea plus some lamb skewers by 11:05. The staff didn't seem bothered that we had overstayed closing time, and were still very courteous. I may be biased bc I very much love getting stuffed on noodles and soups, but this was one of the best meals I've had in Europe.

I chose to focus on the dim sum options. Ricerolls with beef: rice rolls were slightly tougher than expected, but had good smoothness. Beef seemed to have been cooked with water chestnut dices, had a bit of refreshing crispy mouthfeel. Shiu Mai: pork stuffing was a bit too fat and fluffy, though the shrimp tasted bouncy and nice. Pork ribs and chicken feet steamed rice: a double whammy of two classic dim sum items with rice. Seasoning was good, though again I wish the pork ribs were leaner. Beef meatball with sliced bean curd: big, bouncy, seasoning was perfect. best thing about this dish, the waitress knew to serve it with Worcestershire Sauce, the classic "fusion" style of having it. Overall: 4-4.5 stars. Some improvements would make it much more desirable, but it is a good place to try out Cantonese style dim sum.

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.

They always keep space for walk-ins and we were able to snag a seat for just enough time to have the All In for 2. You essentially get small plates of EVERYTHING on the menu to share, and for €20 per person, we figured why the hell not? The food was delicious from start to finish and absolutely worth the gracious price point. The service was quick and friendly and we were walked thru each dish as it arrived. The portions were perfect for the two of us and we left full and happy for a night of drinking whiskey around town. When I came back on my own for the second time, I was both thrilled and surprised that the All In for 1 was a massive amount of food for one person. The first few dishes had similar servings sizes as we got for 2 people, with the dumplings and onion pancake being halved. Again, I ate very well and was entirely ready for the rest of my night out after. Now: this is NOT traditional dim sum, but it's still fabulous dumplings and related small bites. I could eat an entire jar of the kimchi on its own. The peanut slaw is unusual but tasty. And now I'm writing this review I don't remember what it was called -- but it was a toasted dumpling of some kind with pancetta???? To die for !! Things to know: they'll never have a phone number and, like much of Ireland, the hours online are generally a suggestion so plan to either book a reservation online or swing by and poke your head in. The dining space is VERY small, so be prepared to get cozy with your table neighbors.
