Chinese Takeaway

duckworth

Anybody aware of a really good Chinese Takeaway in Dublin - i.e. with quality comparable to Bombay Pantry? Every one I've tried has been very disappointing.

You'd have thought with all the good Chinese places opened on Parnell St/Moore St/Capel St in recent years, it would have translated to the takeaways, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Any ideas people?

The 'Golden Grain' in Killester is not too bad

No, good thread though, ill be following the responses.

Wongs in ranelagh is probably the best i can think of but expensive and it still doesn't compare to all the Thai takeaways, a GOOD chinese would be a nice find

Why was my thread moved?? I specifically wanted to ask the question to people who are into their food.

Surely it suits the food forum better..

ming in edenmore, regent in killester, and fortune cookie in harolds cross are all good, imo

Camille Thai in Dublin 7 is very nice. I got sick of the standard sweet and sour dishes! Its pricey compared to others but i think its worth it. Stay away from the ones on Moore Street...disaster!!

Flaming Wok on Fairview Strand is pretty decent, never had a bad order from the place.

Here's their menu.

Just out of interest where did you originally post this thread?.

Wongs I thought were more of a restaurant than a take away. Does the one in Ranalagh do take away? I'd say Eatzen is pretty good, Clonee.

Other than that I don't know, has to be said the standard is pretty crap.

Edit: actually remember trying to order from Wongs a few years ago, delivering to Castleknock only, even though I lived literally across the road from "Castleknock" they wouldn't go that far, ah.

+1 to Flaming Wok in Fairview. I order from there and they deliver pretty quick, good food, and value for money.

Pearl river in Phibsboro is 10/10

Garden House in Blanch village is pretty nice, i've never gotten anything dodgy out of there in 15 yrs, reccommend.

I remember going into Wongs in Clontarf a few years ago - 2005ish - and asking did they do take away. The guy laughed at me and turned on his heel! I was mortified. I took it as a no anyway!

Im not mad about Chinese food but Camile as mentioned before is the best food from an oriential take away that I have had. But paying €70 for food for 3 people to be delivered was a bit much so I havent ordered again, nice and all as it was.

Wans Garden in Killester is nice. I use there mostly.

Chinese take aways must be a licence to print money I would say. And they seem to be springing up all over the place now. I get at least 3 brochures in my door every week.

Yeah i must try that place. I ordered from Do Son which is another place on Dorset street and the sweet and sour that i got was awful. It was inedible!

I wouldn't recommend that place, I got something from there about 6 months ago and it stayed down for all of 20 mins before getting sick (I wasn't ill and hadn't been drinking), then about a month ago my flatmate got a 3 in 1, again not drinking and not ill, same result, getting sick half the night.

edit: to confirm I'm talking about New Victoria on Dorset St

I met the owner of Wongs Clontarf, last week he was opening the place up about 10.30 am, Excellent food and take-away menu, I have it in the car if you want to see it.

Anytime i'm back in Dublin, i'll usually try a few different places. I tried Camille twice, had problems both times and e-mailed them; to which they never bothered to reply. Obviously I wont be giving them my custom again.

Flaming Wok is quite nice and would get my vote, but I wouldn't put it on a par with Bombay Pantry-esque food though.

New Millenium South King Street is lovely and does takeaway, it's beside the Gaeity.

I wasnt saying the food wasnt great - I dont think Ive ever heard an account where people have said it wasnt the best Chinese food they had ever eaten.

Rising Pheonix above Cumiskeys pub on Black Horse avenue, yum yum.

Their satay is the best ive had.

zzhihui

There is no good Chinese take aways in Dublin I am afraid. But Chinese food is so much better than Thai food, just find the right restaurant.

Just gotta say must be bad luck cause me and herself have eaten here lots of times and always been impressed.

Best noodles in Dublin

Lotus Garden in fairview..... lovely grub outa their too.. sit in or takeaway

You're kidding, right? I assume by "good" Chinese, the OP didn't mean "so bad it's good", where "bad" means "tray of grease".

Ming Garden/Ming Court both good in Blanchardstown. Also Garden House in main st is good. My favourite is Millennium though - Castleknock and Cabra Cross.

Yeah the food is great out of there - I switch between there and the Excellent? take away beside the Cremore House Pub not sure of the name of the road.

Just out of interest is there any Chinese takeaway that puts food in the boxes like the ones in America - I was told that the reason why we get the food in plastic/tin trays is because there's so much sauce in the food it would drip out of the american style box.

Diep at Home and Camille Thai put the food in those little cartons.
Both of the above places pack a lot of food in!!

The Excellent is on Fitzmaurice Road, Ballygall :-)

'Let's Eat In' do Chinese in the boxes for what it's worth. I'm not raving about their food but it's a good option when you've a bunch to feed and they don't all want the same style.

As for really brilliant Chinese takeaway, I haven't experienced it since the China Sichuan stopped doing takeaway many years ago while in their Stillorgan restaurant. I wish they'd reconsider - there must be enough vacant premises now in Sandyford to make it worth looking at.
