Best Chinese Take Away in South Dublin?

Lucutus

lo all,

I'm on the hunt for an excellent chinese take way. Not one of these places that fills you with monosodium glutamate , but somewhere that buys in fresh ingredients, cooks 'em and delivers great meals straight to your door.

I already rejoice in the fact that the Bombay Pantry in Rathmines is 5 minutes from my place, they're an Indian take away with a limited menu, I think the only take away indian, (or anything!), in the Bridgestone Restaurant Guide in Dublin.

For me, one of the signs of an excellent take away menu is one which specialises in a small selection of dishes, not one that has 100 different main course dishes!

So, if you know of excellent chinese take aways around South Dublin, or even in your area, post up details here.

You should try Kesar Foods for an Indian Takeaway in Rathmines. Its a basement on Upper Rathmines Road. Usually takes a little time for the food to be ready but its worth the wait I tells ya.

Not too sure about chinese takeaways now but my two top chinese restaurants would be china sichuan in Stillorgan and good world in town.

All this talk of food has made me hungry!!

Hey, yea I did try them one night, it did take a while, which they said on their menu, so I didn;t mind that, and the old man (he must have been 70!), who delivered to food practically kneeled and called me 'Sire' as he handed me the food, I was shocked-n-stunned.

As for the food itself, sure, it was nice enough, but reminded me of a spicy stew or something.

Also, I would like a surprise tour of their kitchens in that basement. Never been, but would love to take a walk thru out of pure curiousity.

Micro - HO-HOS? YOU have to be joking, I said QUALITY FOOD! and SMALL SPECIALISED MENUS! Ho-Ho's do everything under the sun, in fact, it's a bad food experience from Ho-Ho's that has me looking for a decent Chinese take away!

Washout

Lucutus... Youngs in Rathmines is by far the best Chinese Take Away/Delivery Place in the area.

Indian Delivery place has got to to be Naz/The Balti House....I think im well equipped to give ya a guide on good indian places nyom nyom

hussey

where would one go in town??

I'm planning on going to a chinese resteraunt in town 2moro

anyone recommend one

Not quite a 'take-away' (you eat in there) but worth mentioning because it's a great restaurant. Menu items include spicy curries or dishes like beef in a spiced coconut sauce, all of which are delicious. I'd highly recommend it.

Lucutus

I didn't start this thread as a restaurant guide thread, its a take away recommendation thread.

Let's take it for granted that Hussey asked an off-topic question and Bard kindof answered it. Hussey, for a chinese place, try Good World Georges Street, they're great, especially on Sunday afternoons for lunch, Dim Sum, Mmmmm!

If you want 'eat in' place recommendations, then please start another thread lads.

Thanks

The Good View takeaway in Ringsend just over the bridge and on you way into Irishtown is of a very high standard.

I live next to a restaurant that is meant to be gorgeous but I'm not sure if they do take-aways. 120 Pembroke road I think it is.

Best chinese I've eaten in dublin!

Ayumiya on newtownpark avenue (may it R.I.P) was the tastiest japanese I'd eaten too.

Sichuan on lower kilmacud road used to do take away but they don't anymore

unless your a regular customer there and want a take away once in a blue moon (such as my folks)

There already is a restaurant recommendation thread, it's stickied.

Mewzel : yeuns in shankill is pretty good. mmm....tasty!

Hmm.. I would recommend Kambo in Ballybrack village.. Having eaten in the two Chinese restaurants/takeaways in Shankill, I would happily drive three miles past them to Kambo, to get a much tastier Chinese. Try it, if you haven't..

Heresy!!!

It truly is the finest takeaway in all of Christendom or perhaps Hindudom.

Try the Bengal Prawn curry with a portion of Raita. It's truly phenomenal.

Anyways best chinese takeaway I've uses is on the northside. Chess just off the northcircular. Probably not any good to you I don't think they deliver beyond the northside.

If money isn't too much of an object there's a company that will deliver restaurant food to you - they have a deal with a load of good restaurants in Dublin and get takeout restaurant food for a bit less than full price and bring it to you.

I can't quite remember their name maybe someone else remember's it. I have a guide somewheres I'll try and fish it out.

"Chess just off the northcircular. Probably not any good to you I don't think they deliver beyond the northside."

Ha Ha i'm about 5 mins walk from there its quality didn't want to mention it as its on the northside and i don't really go to many chinese's but its definitely the best in my area but it does have a large menu selection. try it if your over this way its in dublin 7

Big Chief

only real place i order chinese from is the Jade House on sundrive road/kimmage..

as for takeaways, im a fond lover of the alpha grill chippie down on harolds cross road

RainyDay

best take away is golden carp , dundrum

Hi S10 - Is the Golder Crap still doing takeaways? I thought that they had dropped this since they re-opened under new management. They also weren't taking credit cards, which seems crazy for any restaurant these days.

Samba

best restaurant , is the china sichuan resturant in stillorgan, a must see real sichuan chefs ,

Actually they do still do takeaways, but they won't deliver and you will have to collect and pay restaurant prices (and it is damn pricy in there)

but i have to say best Chinese restaurant in Dublin without a shadow of a doubt.


I worked there for almost a year and the kitchens are very clean, all the ingredients are fresh, the staff are very pleasant, service is fast, but at the same time you are not rushed into leaving.

As an employee you get dinner when you arrive in at 5 (you eat what the chefs eat) then at 10 an hour or two before going home, they cook you up another meal!.

Although, v.hard to get a job in, worth going down and chancing your arm, they pay v.well and treat you with alot of respect. But usually only hire people of Chinese origins.


Otherwise, it used to be good but last meal I got was crap, probably because the owner does not actually chef there anymore himself, ex-owner of a well know restaurant in Dunlaoghaire which closed down, cant think of the name.

But, they do some Thai and Vietnamese Dishes, there is one Pork and Peanut one which they do which is MMM Mmmmm.



How about a Worst thread aswell?

Mr.Canon

Hey, I know this is an old thread, but it's an important one as I've found it more than once whilst searching for takeaways...

Got to big up my realatively new local called 'TAK TAI' on Clanbrassil St (know that lil group of 4 takeaways on their own?) ...they're Thai/Asian and they're really big on flavour with none of the gloop. No cornstarch in any of their dishes me thinks, and that's a wonderful thing

Definite Thai buzz to their food... lots of heat, great masaman, my fav meal is called Pad-Prik (chilli garlic lime fish sauce & cashew nuts), pick your meal then pick your meat/tofu/veg to go with it. They're nice in there with genuine smiles, decent english and their delivery guy is sound too.

These guys stand out amongst the lazy, gloupy chineses that flood this part of town.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

- the only duf thing i've had from them is the tempura prawns - 1st, it wasn't proper tempura batter, 2nd it was soft and gaky... just doesn't travel

Mr.Canon

....my favourite Indian, KONKAN (Restaurant/take away) on Clanbrassil St Upper (near harold's cross bridge)

These guys make their own yogurt fresh every day and it's got that natural sweet flavour that only lasts a day... amazing. Food is nearly impossible to fault. Lamb is ALWAYS tender, and that's saying something. They always give you papadams, mango and mint yogurt with your order but they are a bit pricier than the rest. Well worth it though.. can't emphasise that enough (we usually have enough for a 2nd round the following day)

Between these guys and Tak-Tai mentioned above, Dublin 8 has been saved in my opinion.

Anyone got a recommendation for a good Chinese takeaway in south Dublin.Thanks.

jimi_t

Not quite chinese, more thai/vietnamese but with some sweet and sour stuff etc... on the menu and pretty damn excellent is Diep@Home delivering out of Ranelagh/Blackrock.

http://www.diep.net/?/athome/menu/

The Bamboo in Ranelagh is a bit of a 70s throwback but very good quality meat and very reasonable. Miles ahead of anything in Rathmines.

http://www.ratemyarea.com/places/the-bamboo-chinese-ta-12417

Also, saw a lot of nonsense about 'the best chinese restaurant in Dublin' above. It's a toss-up between Wongs in Ranelagh, Kites in Ballsbridge or 'The Good World' on Georges street depending on regional style/price range.

Anymore please.Ta.

EScent in Ballinteer (beside the Coach House) does very nice Thai stuff. The sit-down prices were crazy expensive, but the take-away or delivery was fairly reasonable.

Take Away is the Oriental Express in Monkstown and the Good World if you want a resturant.
