Tried the new Bambu twice recently.

Must say, it's fantastic. Better than it was before the horrendous Italian experiement.

€10 for starter, main course and drink at lunch time.

Not sure if someone has mentioned it already but regarding the restaurants on page 1, the country kitchen has been closed down for a while now.

I also would like to add that I've been to wok upstairs in arthurs quay many times and I thought the food was delicious. Ok it's more expensive than wokking but I've found the quality of wokking has declined dramatically in the last two years or so to the point that I barely recognise it as the place I used to go to ritualistically when I was younger.

2 lunches (chicken goujons and mash, and enchiladas with chips ), 2 cocktails, 1 desert, all for only 34 euro in Texas Steakout. Must say, it was fab.

Yes, the Jasmine buffet is available on sundays only: http://www.jasminepalace.ie/menus/sunday-buffet

They have a regular lunch menu week days.

Not sure where else you could go for Chinese buffet midweek...

Had dinner last night with my partner in the Red Onion on the top of O'Connell street. We had tickets booked for a show in the belltable at 8 and I wanted t book somewhere near. I had only heard bad reviews of the red onion to be honest but said we would give it a go.

We were both quite pleasantly suprised, everything from booking a table(45 mins prior) to the end of the meal was excellent. It did not feel like a basement, service was friendly and efficient, and the food was great with a slight twist on the way most places do things. Beleive me there was no ready made crap from Pallas foods served here(IMO). Would recommend it to others which says a lot.

Red Onion is a great spot. Yer man who runs it is a class act, makes you feel very welcome and has a lovely manner about him. Knows his wine too.

New or recently opened restaurants seemed to get a bad name from the off on here.

Marco Polos was torn to shreds but I've eaten there three times in the last three months and couldn't fault it (they had the nicest duck I've had outside of the south of France) and it's been very busy in there each time, I'd say they're doing well for themselves.

wanted: Nice Chicken wings

OK the past few days i've been overcome with a craving for chicken wings but not just any old chicken wings. If any one has had the ones in the Hamptons they know the ones i'm talking about. A kind of sweet and spicy sauce yet the wings are a little crispy. Anyway my question is does anyone know anywhere in limerick that do similar wings but to take away??

Never had them from there. I know this might sound mad but Lidl wings are very good and also has a sweet & spicy taste.

I know hillbillys all too well and they don't do the kind of wings in looking for. I may be wrong. Also hillbillys is in Ennis so don't need to go as far as cork for a breast in a bun
