    Tom Kha Soup - A bowl of Tom Kha Soup, a Thai coconut milk-based soup, contains vegetables such as celery, mushrooms, and carrots, garnished with herbs. The soup is served in a white bowl on a small plate, with a spoon on the side. In the background, there is a plate with rice and a bowl of curry, indicating a Thai or Asian cuisine setting at a restaurant.

    Awesome service and awesome food! My aunt and I showed up early to our reservation and the staff were very welcoming and were able to seat us right away. I have a gluten allergy which I mentioned when I asked about what my options were and they were very accommodating! It sounded like pretty much the whole menu could be modified to cater to a gluten allergy. Overall, I would definitely recommend Red Torch and would gladly come back!

    I've been to Red Torch Ginger a few times now, and this was my fifth visit - it never disappoints! The flavors here are absolutely fantastic and so well balanced. I really appreciate that it's not just delicious but also very reasonably priced, which makes it easy to keep coming back. They have a great selection for vegetarians and vegans, which is always a big plus. The highlight for me this time (as always!) were the noodles - so flavorful and satisfying. And if you have room for dessert, the brownie with ice cream is a must-try. Honestly, it's one of the best sweet endings you can get in Dublin.

    After a long day of meetings, we ended the day with some drinks and food at the Red Torch. Really cool spot with great decor and music. Service was great, the appetizers and drinks were flowing throughout the evening. I wasn't able to grab any pics of the food, they were gone quickly (and tasted amazing!). I grabbed a nonalcoholic Guinness or 3....gotta have a Guinness in Ireland :) Scale of 1 - 10, I'll hit it again next time....it helps that it's only a few steps from the office here.

    Red Thai curry and sweet chili noodles

    This was close to our hotel so we decided to give it a try for lunch one day. The waitress recommended the curry so I decided to try the red Thai curry and my husband got the sweet chili noodles. Both were amazing! We ended up going back for dinner another day on our trip. The staff was super friendly as well we would definitely recommend!

    Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night without a reservation. The place was full, but they were able to fit us in with only a 10 minute wait. Our server and the hostess were both incredibly helpful and warm. We had a couple draft beers to start, which came out quickly. For dinner we ordered the pad kee mao with tofu, the tofu chili stir fry and the red curry with tiger prawns. The food was excellent. The two tofu dishes were spicy, but so flavorful! Would definitely have both dishes again. The red curry was tasty as well, but had a little more sweetness to it than we liked.

    The location is great, right on St. Andrew street in the Temple bar area. Very touristy corner restaurant. It's identified as Thai food, but it seemed more like Asian fusion. We went in around 4:30 pm, very early for dinner. The owner/hostess (I assume the older lady was the owner) wasn't accommodating. Although plenty of tables available, she refused to give us a window table. She simply said no without explanation and even told us we had to finish our dinner by 6 pm. It's the first time we've heard a time requirement for dinner in Dublin. The waitress was nice and pleasant. All waitstaff worked very hard. It was a quiet atmosphere. The food was ordinary and the prices were modest. We ordered: 3*Tom Yum soup: hot and sour soup with lots of vegetables and an overwhelming taste. 4*Coconut and Sriracha chicken wings: 6 tasty chicken wings. Very good and delicious. 3*Red Torch Ginger COMBO included two pieces each of: Chicken Satay, Pork Belly, Thai Samosas, Panko Prawns, and Pork Wontons. Nice arrangement and presentation, but the food was mostly bland and ordinary. All except satay relied heavily on the sweet and spicy sauce. The portions were generous. 3*Crisp Duck Salad - Sliced crispy duck breast mixed with peppers, onions, carrots, cherry tomatoes cucumber coriander & spring onion, and hot & sour Dressing: lots of onions, a bit too much.

    Food was great! Tom yum had so much flavor. Do the early bird dinner before 5:30, server was so kind with so many recommendations. Definitely a popular place so book a reservation.

    Asian Duck - pieces of sliced duck breast stirred fried in oyster sauce with onion, Asian greens, peppers...

    Very good Thai food in Dublin! Walked in today around 12:30 pm with no reservation, but got a table for two without waiting. Manager informed us that his staff does not wear masks and if that's okay... we were both wearing a mask. Our booth had plexiglass and that was fine. Started off with homemade sparkling lemonade and a hop house lager. Learned set lunch menu doesn't include beer. The calamari was quite good with the right amount of spice! The pork belly was perfectly cooked and crispy, yet flavorful. The Asian duck was good, but extra chili pepper or two would've made it even better. Great service and attentive staff

    drunken prawn
    Iris P.

    walked in on a busy saturday evening without any reservations and were lucky to get a spot. we were seated by the entrance due to how busy it was, so the table location wasn't the best, but otherwise service was quick and great. everything on the menu is over €20-a lot more than what i'd normally pay for thai food. i got the drunken prawn and it was delicious, with great presentation, flavor, and large, juicy prawns. that being said, i think the price tag should be 10% lower

    Our first dinner in Ireland was Thai food. We were here for eight days and knew we'd have a lot of…read morepub food, so that's why we went Thai. Sanuk Thai was a short walk from our hotel. You order at the counter and they bring your food over to your table. It looked to me like they can seat 40 people or so. The interior is a pleasant mix of brick and paneling with some very cool artwork on the walls, like an image of someone walking holding a giant pole on their shoulders with a big basket on each side. I also saw a big mural of a guy with a toothy grin smiling at the dining room. The menu is pretty big and pretty reasonable -eleven appetizers at no more than six and a half Euros, if you don't count the Selection Box for Two (€12). They also offer three soups, three salads, five curries, seven noodle dishes, seven stir fries, five fried rice dishes, four House Specialties, ten sides, and even a children's menu of four things like peanut noodles and sweet and sour chicken. You can also buy their dipping sauces by the bottle. We started off by splitting an appetizer of Phukett Tiger Prawns (€6.50 for 4 pieces) which we really enjoyed. It was a shrimp stuffed with diced chicken and ginger, wrapped in a pastry and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Simple and delicious! Our entrees were 1) Pad Thai served with chicken and shrimp instead of the usual one or the other. It ran (€12) and was delicious, and 2) Pad King Beef (also €12). The Pad King was a delicious stir fry of ginger, mushrooms, bok choy, scallions, and of course plenty of tender beef slices served with a bowl of rice. It was wonderful. Our food for two cost just €30.50, or about $37 -not bad for a big city dinner.

Shrimp and vegetables were cooked perfectly even w takeout time. I have mostly kept only Thai dishes. Oh, spicy chicken wings were fantastic - goes well with beer or white wine.

    There are reasons I know I'm getting old, aside from the fact that the birthdays just keep crashing…read morein likes waves. One is my failing sight after years of relying on my eyes and my eyes alone to read. Another perhaps less common garden variety is the internal meltdown I face when confronted with a lot of menu choice in restaurants. If you identify with the latter, you may wish to save yourself a lot of hassle and simply choose the set menu here. If not, be warned, the a la carte alternative is complex, and for your own sake don't arrive tired or emotional. This is a prime mental condition eating experience. Famed Dublin restauranteur Dylan McGrath is an ideas man. His restaurants are as much about concept as they are about food, and though I'm sure there's a big heart in there, the head rules. If you want proof, study the menu. Across the top are taste categories (bitter, salty, sweet, etc.). Down the left are dish categories. So you scale down, then across, to see what combination of taste and texture your dish offers. And there are lots of choices. And a huge variety of prices. But what's less clear is quantity. And I was hungry and wanted to know I'd get an oul dinner into me before that difficult hungry phase that reduces my brain to mush and makes me want to howl like a baby. The very friendly waitress reassured us that though the menu seems complex first time round, after you've done it once, it's a breeze. (That's how I cottoned on to the fact that the wait staff here have post docs in maths.) Full marks for trying though. No less than two members of staff talked us through things, and they really did their best - did I sense concern that people are having difficulty getting it? Whichever - in the end, it was all too much for me - cue set menu. So, to my relief, for forty euros, you can certainly expect to leave full, with sushi starters - ok, it's not called sushi, it's the long one with the piece of fish on top of the rice (though more wasabi, please) -,delicious miso with clams and those delicate long-stemmed mushrooms that definitely have a name, beef skewers with rice (too much rice already) and potato main, and desert. The food presentation is beautiful, served on marble slabs and in delicate ceramics, with a Japanese-influenced simplicity. I thought the restaurant was Japanese from the menu but see from the website there are Spanish and South American influences too - not very obvious to me but then again I flunked the menu test. The sushi that isn't sushi was yummy, especially the turbot which was a smoky hit of flavour, and the sea bass, with a smooth texture that melts on the tongue. The beef is served on a mini-BBQ which, like the mushrooms, has a proper name. (The only problem with this method of on-table serving is being smoked out of it by the table next door who's got too much fuel on the fire.) If you want your steak more than medium rare, just cook on. My steak was a slightly mixed experience being a bit fatty, though my partner didn't have the same issue. Desert was ginger panna cotta, with melon granita, which was light yet intense in flavour and delicious. We had tried to book Rustic Stone, the restaurant downstairs, but it was full and they suggested we try Taste. We didn't know it was Japanese-influenced and I think they took this on board upon seeing our menu-bafflement and offered a glass of wine on the house. Fair enough. If I returned I'd be armed with a more rested brain (like I'd give it a full day off beforehand, take it to the pictures, buy it flowers, tell it it was looking great) and I would square right up to that a la carte menu, look it in the eye and plainly demand to know its tofu options, the brute, and I wouldn't take no for an answer. The Japanese are masters of simplicity, so ultimately I agree if for different reasons that Taste is not a Japanese restaurant. But the food largely made up for it, the service was good, it's a relaxing place to eat, and if the head wins over the heart, there's no denying it's a decent head. If you don't believe me, just look in the window where its image hangs pride of place, presumably so you know who best to talk to if you need anything explained.

    In expectation of my arrival in Dublin for a 17 day visit, my sister sent me Taste as a potential…read moredinner option while I was staying with her. Coincidentally, I had a hankering for sushi on the first night and so after snagging a reservation, off we went to Taste. The restaurant was located on the third floor of Rustic Stone. We were seated at the sushi bar for dinner. The bar itself was different from those that I've experienced in the US where the cooking area is lower so you have a view of what the chef is making; however, the bar seating at Taste was also way roomier than most in the US. My sister and I opted for the €60 omakase - I requested the umami miso and the duck broth, while my sister had the regular miso and the salmon broth - and added on some toro nigiri. We also ordered cocktails - the Eastern Promise and the Gin Garden - which were excellent. The meal was excellent! The nigiri combinations were sometimes surprising but they worked well. The quality of the fish was also very good. I loved the broth and cooking the duck breast myself - it was so rich and the flavours were deep and well-developed. For the "light dessert" they brought out three options: a cheesecake, a coconut ice cream, and a ginger flan. The cheesecake actually had this odd cheese (not cream cheese or ricotta) taste but my sister and I were obsessed. Minus one star for the service because although everyone was super super nice, it was slooooooow. Our meal took about 3 hours. Not that we minded but just be wary that you might be here awhile! However, the meal meal was excellent and my sister and I agreed that between us there was nothing on the menu that we wouldn't order.
