    Treasure Island in Johns Park is nice. Also handy for me as it's only 2 mins down the road.

    i know ,when i think about it i have some cheek, ok i like the golden mountain down by the park inn for curries and i like the silver star up by the cleaboy for seazuan ,cant comment on tramore as i have not got one there but i have good friends who live in tramore and they say dynasty is fairly good. one thing that annoys me about some places is that if you dont specify breast of chicken curry they feel they can give you any ****ty bits of chicken they have left .i have got curries before and not specified and they have been cat .just read over the last line didnt actualliy mean it but what harm its quite apt

    Treasure not bad. Also very handy I am also only 2 mins away .. hmmm are we neighbours ...........
    But for me the HAPPY GARDENS is the best for takeaways. The MAXIM HOUSE is a lovely place for a sit down meal , nice atmosphere and the booths give it a real private feel. For a early bird menus, check the one served in J PALACE..

    Kongs is the job out on the Dunmore road. Veg curry rules above all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭kensutz


    Maybe ROCKMAN, I'm in Cherrymount. Also Johnny Fans above the Uluru gets my vote. Always enjoy it there.

    another thing that annoys you is people putting basins in a sink. apparently.

    but to keep to the original topic, i like the chinese down by the park


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,657 ✭✭✭trishw78


    I like the Happy Garden, the last time i got a take away from the maxim it was rotten. I like the jade house in Ballybricken as well. for a Sit down it's got to be either Johnny Fans on High St. or the above Uluru

    curry chip is Chinese food? :confused::D

    I vote Johnny Fans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,657 ✭✭✭trishw78


    I think it's safe to say anything that Johnny Fan is involved in is good.

    Quite. The Fan dynasty is truly a dynasty. The Fans have restaurants all over the UK and Ireland. The Fans have been on these isles since the 1950's. With over 50 years experience in the industry, I'd say they should be one of the best.

    hence the saying "fann,tastic" or the saying "stop fanninging about " probabaly shouted if you were acting too fann tastic

    i really have to disagree with you there, it is the worst chinese in the city by a long shot, the meat is like soggy rubber that has been marinated for a week, and to top it off my missus got a big black hair in her dish, needless to say we have never eaten out of there since,
    i drive to the one above the uluru for a take away, they do smahing take away albeit its a little bit more expensive but its worth it, and the young asian girl working in there is a babe as well !

    Both Fan restaurants are quite good. My bf's parents love Chinese food and the Uluru is one of their favourite stops.

    Haven't gone to the one in the city centre in ages though as we went in one night (Might have been Mothering Sunday) and the prices were inflated on a 'special' menu.

    I had something from the place by Uluru yesterday and twas nice, there was lots of it too.

    Mike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭echosound


    Fans above the Uluru is definitely the best. Happy Gardens used to be quite nice too, and Treasure Inn on ballybricken is ok in a pinch. Jumbos can be hit and miss. Jade - urk! maxim - urk! both used to be great but gone downhill IMO.
    Golden Rod used to be great - anyone remember the dude that used to deliver the takeout? Hilarious man, but he was highly scary if confronted with him at your door if you've had a few too many. Waaay too enthusiastic and happy for his own good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 192 ✭✭halfinch


    Treasure Island is nice for a curry....oriental gardens in town do a nice few dishes...the one over the Uluruis def the nicest in town

    mmmmmmmmmmmmm

    I would not recommend Fan Dynasty above the Uluru. I ate there before and didn't enjoy it (I can make better) and they charged us additional for rice (about €4pp) for our sit down meal which my table thought was the stingiest thing they've ever heard.

    Do you think rice is free then?

    Obviously rice is not 'free' but most places include into the cost of the meal. Normally if you get say a Sweet and sour chicken the rice is included in the price.

    FYI It's not Fan Dynasty anymore. It's called Golden Jade or something like that. When the change of ownership/name occurred they brought in the charge for the rice/chips which had previously been free with a main course.

    Depends on the pricing structure of the establishment. Either you pay separately or it's "included" - either way you still pay for it. Would you have preferred a price increase on the main meal?

    I see. When did it change to The Golden Jade?

    Yucky Yucky place. Never got the hype for it.

    Once after a nightclub i got a hot chilli chicken noodle box and wait for it found a bone in it.

    Then another time i ordered something off just eat went to pick it up they said no you cant have rice over chips ?. So i said you can keep it and walked out.

    Then Cantan or what ever its called the place access from the peoples park one night i was hungry and ordered something off just eat and said i wonted the sauce on the side when it came they wonted 50c extra for sauce on the side what a joke charging for sauce on the side.

    But still i miss imperial Garden as there lunch used to be very cheap and good valve and went once a week for like a year.
