So glad to have found this place during our travels. It was crowded when we arrived, luckily we had reservations. Service was good, they were very busy but still were attentive to us when need be. We ordered 2 of their dumpling dishes (pork and shrimp); spicy cucumber, crispy pork, sweet and spicy chicken, stir fry green beans and stir fry beef. We managed to finish everything lol. Flavor and spices were great! Price was decent as well. Def worth the price! Seating was a little crowded but it felt cozy. There's no parking lot/structure for the restaurant if you drive a car. You need to park at the qpark structure or find close parking nearby.

It's changed names but we found it in the same location. It's apparently now called Bullet but…read moreit's almost the same menu. Authentic and tasty but skip the kimchi dumplings. Not that good. We also got pork bone soup which didn't have much flavor but was good on a cold rainy day. The prawn wontons with chili oil, roasted duck, crispy pork belly and pak choi were all outstanding and I would get those items again. Good service. Tiny establishment. Ok average ambience.

Came here on a Wednesday lunch to try this Cantonese style Chinese restaurant. The restaurant has a…read moremain menu of classic Cantonese dishes and a dim sum menu. 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.

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!

The prices were pretty reasonable and you order on your phone directly from your table making it super easy. We got the beef bao, pork bao, seaweed salad and a rice bowl. The baos were very good as well as the seaweed salad. The meat in the rice bowl was still very good just overall didn't compare to the bao. Overall if you're looking for good Bao in the city this place will definitely hit the spot :)

Solidly authentic, Asian owned, Chinese comfort food in Dublin…read more I haven't found much in terms of Asian food in Dublin, and in the scope of Ireland this place is fine. Best thing on the menu: - Classic Beef Bao - Pork belly Bao Both were super delicious, the Bao was soft and perfectly balanced. Two will fill you up. One order is one Bao. Skip the Rice bowls, not a great value and just very generic. Think Yoshinoya for 3 times the price. Seating is not comfortable, and the place is very small inside. I'd suggest not ordering take out, it doesn't keep well to go. Bao was great, but I'd really advice them to pair down their menu and focus on the Bao. Get the prices a little more competitive and we're in 5 star territory.

Possibly the best dim sum in Dublin!!…read more 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.

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.

They have all the usual Chinese dishes you would expect with a few Malaysian dishes too. There is one dish on the "Chef's Specials" section of the menu. It is simply called "I like it crispy". It is one of the nicest dishes I have ever had from a takeaway. It is pork in a deliciously crispy, and slightly sweet batter. It's drizzled with a mildly spicy black bean sauce. If you like crispy things then you will love this. They also do a mighty fine Mapo Tofu too. Once or twice they have forgotten something or made a mistake with my order but after a call they quickly supply me with what's missing usually with a little extra treat by way of apology. The staff are all lovely and get anything sorted right away. Shangri-La is now my go to takeaway for when I want to gorge myself. Well worth a try.

My partner is a Chinese from Malaysia and for this, its always a real bonus. Wow, the food is always good - we are never disappointed with the food there. Even my partner is impressed with most dishes he got, especially the mee mamak which he really loves. Their chicken balls are GORGEOUS and my favourite side dish there is chilli & pepper squid (I would go to heaven just for them!) I usually order Chicken/Beef Nyonya from them - I always love it but the problem is it is never the same - sometimes its nicer, sometimes its not bad, sometimes, its SO GOOD - it depends on who the chef is. Delivery people are good - apart from this girl who won't give us change - for some reasons, she is unwilling to return even a small amount of change, assuming that we would automatically tip her! :o We will recommend SL to anyone in Dublin :-) even our friends from London were quite impressed.

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!
