Best Chinese in Limerick?

Henry Ford III

Restaurant or takeaway...

I got some food out of The Lotus, Dublin Road, earlier and it was smashing.

The Mayflower, Davis Street is now gone sadly.

Where else would you rate?

DilbertPartII

Awww when did they close the mayflower?

Karoma

Quite a while back; no idea why.
The Jazz is tolerable if you're around that area. There's one in Dooradoyle (Behind the Xtra-Vision) which is quite good.
Nowhere quite compares to The Mayflower though.

The Sun Flower in Nicholas St, portions are huge. God I miss it best chicken curry and fried rice ever.

You certainly can't beat The Jasmine on O'Connell Street, The Peony Court at Punches X and The Wokking on O'Connell Street. YUM!!!

That one beside the jail isn't bad. Can't remember what it's called now (Millenium I think) but it used to be the Hakasan.

The Dragonfly in Castletroy is excellent - always have had an excellent meal or takeway from there.

ricey

The sunflower has the best curry in limerick most def.

But for me the best chinese is the ze-we-ton they have
places in town next to the old quarter in raheen and out
in castletroy.

Enright

the BEST is the Hong Kong in William St. the decor is naff, the service is great, the menu brilliant, the prices good and the food - u got to try it 4 yourself:D

Gotta be the Jasmine Palace (O'Connell Street), Ze-we-ton (Fr. Fussell Rd, Dooradoyle and The Old Quarter) or my regular the King Palace (beside the regional hospital)

The sister Pagoda restaurant in Castletroy is damn fine too.

BobTheBeat

The Ming on Glentworth street is quite good too.Either that or the Peony Court at Punches Cross for me

The Jasmine and Ze-We-Ton are owned by the same family apparently.

Normally I love the Lotus (it is my local) but last night I ordered a pork chow mein and got home and it was a portion of chow mien *grrr*

They are owned by two families who run the Jasmine as a partnership. One then has the Ze-We-Tons and one has the two wokking take aways

I had a 3 day bout of food poisoning which coincided with a trip to a certain take away in Limerick, the room rotated at one point as I projectile vomited for the 17th time.

I was usually left disappointed by Pagoda Castletroy so I've stopped eating there... The one on corbally road seems to be better. (A few people I know agree) Overall though their sauces seem to be a huge sugar-fest... Not my idea of good chinese.

Jasmine Palace for sunday buffet.... All you can eat...
For me that's alot;)

Henry Ford III

I couldn't face a buffet of anything most Sundays.

And your point is?

If you got food poisining u should name the establishment! i usually find that its the burger after the 18th pint

on your next visit to limerick, try any of the above chinese

Fast_Mover

Anyone try the chinese in Thomond?
Iv gotten about a hand full of chinese takeaways from there..found them all very nice!

The Jasmine is lovely aswell..expensive tho.

Thanks for the compliments. I will pass that onto my dad. He is half-retired, and that is reason why the decor is "naff", as you call it. I don't work there (never have really), and in complete different sector (s/e). But watch out for a change in menu soon.
And yes, I recommend our restuarant's curry. It's an old family recipe, and almost all restaurants and takeaways have their version of our recipe, as they all worked in our kitchen at some point in time ('cause the HK is one of the 1st Chinese restaurants in Limerick. Huzzah! ).
The Sunflower's my relative's place. Great value as well! Don't want to bias or anything. But try the curry! I'm a big fan myself.;)

agree with u on the curry sauce, could i suggest that they incluse meat sung on the new menu!:D

The Shamrock next to O'Mara Motors on the Ennis Road is top class and owned by a HK relative too if I'm not mistaken. Always get my take-away there or sometimes sit down too

I second that. It's bloody addictive. The restaurant is always packed in there so that's a good sign too.

Heh, yup, my uncle owns it. Good food.

Other places I would recommend (although I don't go to them, as it's awkward since you know the folks who run them)...
- Peony Court
- Jasmine Palace
Although both above are pricey compared to other restaurants in Limerick.

cmurph

i know its the county , but i adore THE RIVER , in newcastle west , sit down or take out its fab. keenly priced too.


there is a chinese in croom too, but i would only go to order for the next day they are that slow.i phoned in an order last week at 8.30 pm and was told it would be ready for 9, was there at 9 and paid for the food , eventually i lost my patience at 9.25 and asked for my money back and left , there was only 2 in the restaurant and she only served 1 person while i was there!!

Were is the cheapest chinese in limerick, but do nice food aswell?

bazz26

City Wok overhead Scott's bar are pretty cheap, I think a main course starts from €5.95.

Peony is doing a roaring trade with their All you Can Eat lunches these days. Best move ever for them to set up that buffet.
It used to be a ghost town at lunch, but now its always packed.
