Restaurants on Parnell Street

John Mason

well, we have decided we really need to try out a few of these Restaurants seeing as we pass them everyday.

Which ones are best to try out?

now the difficult question - which are the best for vegetarian food ?

thanks

I was told by a Japanese friend that Kim Chi and Bon Ga are both good. The latter is on Capel St though iirc.

The Korean BBq one is a load of crap.

Hilan on Parnell St is a favourite of mine.

I would recommend it.

Which Korean BBQ, and what didn't you like about it? Telling us what you had and what was wrong with it might help steer us away from a bad experience. If you mean the Alilang, I've been there a couple of times, and I found the food very good.

Mainly I've had the actual Korean barbecue, where they serve you strips of raw meat which you cook yourself on something that looks like the lid of a wok. This comes with salads and some lovely sauces - I particularly liked the dry heat of the chilli sauce, but the peanut sauce was also good and rich.

Of the non-barbecue dishes, I've had a decent prawn starter. Guests have generally been happy, although I haven't yet taken the real test of bringing someone Korean.

My favourite place on Parnell St, however, is the Hop House. This is also Korean in style, although I think it is run by Chinese people. Whatever the origin of the owners, the Koran specialities seem to be done very well. I would recommend the pulgogi, a barbecued beef dish with kim chee. (I think pul-gogi means literally fire-beef, which sounds like good food in any language.) The staff there are really welcoming, and this is often the clinching factor for me.

Yup - Got a bit confused:o

Probably because I've been meaning to try out more of the spots on Parnell St but end up going back to Hilan cos its so good.

Eddie Rockets or Bennys.

If there are lots of Asians in the restaurant then you know it's good.

The Hilan on Capel Street is my absolute favourite. Great flavours and food with fantastic staff.

On Parnell Street, I've tried Charming Noodles (should be good for veggies), Chinese Ma Ma's (OK), Yuelaixiang (Nice) and the Fortuna (hot spicy Siuchan food).

I also like the Ailang (spelling) Korean BBQ on Parnell Street - I think that it was the first and it's quite nice.

Wow, looking at my blog, I've just realised that I get around to a lot of Chinese and Asian Restaurants.

Can't remember the name, but opposite the ILAC entrance near McDonald's - there are two restaurants. Pick the one with the Buddha in the window.
Very good indeed.

Hop House and Charming Noodle are also good the other end of Parnell Street.

Charming Noodle is my fave restaurant in the whole of Dublin. Id really recommend it,the food is yummy! My best friend is Sri Lankan and really into her Asian food and she says its the best on Parnell street.


I love the name of the restaurant next door 'The finest Korean Deal with'.The engish name must have got lost in translation

Billlang

Musashi in Capel St is the best place to go.

robjones1981

Yes charming noodle is very nice

Hilan on capel street is good too -perhaps a little more expensive than charming noodle

hussey

The best restaurant is surely chapter one
Food is amazing, and usually have lunch specials 2course €29, 3course €36.50
also pre-theatre 3 course 36.50 too

Chapter One is not on Parnell St

There is a teppenyaki place somewhere on Parnell street (I think). I have no clue if it's any good, but teppenyaki is good fun usually.

The Japanese one got a good write up in either the times or indo.

olaola

Mandarin House or Kim Chi/Hop House are my two favourites on/near Parnell St.

Anybody been in Akenchawa's Honey Pot?

Looks like a right bucket of blood with gangs of dodgy-looking africans hanging round outside.

donegalgirl28

Anyone see the new "gastro pub" which was the Parnell Mooney? Only opened in the past few days I think.

I've always wanted to try one of the African restaurants, particularly the one on the NCR near Fitzgibbon St.. I'd be afraid though that it would be all bones as I have a bit of a freak out where visible bones are in food - especially stew dishes.

I would be morto at the thought of offending anyone by not eating whatever I got, so I do the scaredy cat thing and stay out. I'm very curious though.
