China Sichuan Sandyford - Closed Down?

Does anyone know if this restaurant is still open?

I've been trying to ring all day, with no response. Very odd.

If its not, it should be......not a patch on the original one on Kilmacud Road

Chineese new year holidays?

Yeah it's officially closed down, business section front page of Friday's IT has the details.

The decision to move to Sandyford was a disasterous one, shame.

It really was an awful decision to move up there. They had such a thriving cosy business in Kilmacud. I suppose they thought that there would be an extra 20,000 people up there, but the empty shells don't go to Chinese restaurants too often!

Gong (Restaurant/Take Away) in Stillorgan, which was set up by the head waiter Tim and some of the chefs after the decision to move to Sandford, is still open and has apparently never been busier.

I got a takeaway from Gong's one night and it was the worst takeaway I ever got. Sweet and Sour Chicken was €9.50, so I thought I'd get a proper meal, got it delivered and it was a tray of rice, a bag of about 6 chicken balls and a tub of Sweet and Sour sauce

No chance to get any of my 5-a-day!

Sorry to hear that.

I've gotten Gong numerous times and always have been happy with the food.

(I've also tried most of the chinese take aways in South Dublin!)

The key might be to order something Chinese.

I'm certain I read that the Stillorgan/Kilmacud restaurant was run by old man Sichuan (;)) who retired and the son took over the name but moved it to Sandyford. Tom Doorley wrote extremely highly of the original and the new place, but he too complained about the awkwardness of the location in Sandyford.

I personally like Treasures in Stillorgan. It's just a takeaway only, on the hill there just beside Bolands.

I was in that Sichaun place once when they were beside the Millhouse pub. I can't remember what the food was like to be honest. Although I think my dinner got ruined by my boss telling me he got a CV in for a job in our team and it was from a guy who we used to work with but who we couldn't stand. I don't think I've ever lost my appetite so quickly.

Fu Moon besides TGI Friday's in Blackrock is a far better. Treasures used to be a house fav but all 4 of us go to Fu Moon now. It's just better!
