    I had dinner in the Red Onion lately and wouldn't recommend it. The food was average and some of the staff were overbearing. I did howver find the decor quite nice and the desert was good

    im surprised u didnt like red onion, ive been several times in the last 2 years and have never had a bad meal, i love the decor and the staff are friendly and aim to please. the food is not pre 'prepared' and is fresh, i think a lot of the newer restaurants are more 'pub gruby' but this one is definately a bit different. Try it again !

    Was at Texas Steakout the other night. Was delighted to see they have really upped their game. Great food, good, quick service and lovely atmosphere. The music isn't at loud as it used to be, either.

    I've only been to the Red Onion once (about a month ago), and it wasn't that good. The food was perfectly edible, but dull. There were a number of minor annoyances (no pepper on the table, got seated at one of the worst tables although the place was empty, and other things I can't remember).

    Overall it was a irritating place, and I felt they didn't understand how to run a restaurant.

    Poppadom I like but it can be hit and miss.

    Copper & Spice I love but can be very expensive.

    Haven't been in a while but last few times I had Indira I thought it had gone down hill...... More sauce and less meat, I used to love it but now I'll make the trip into town for poppadom.

    Mogul Emporer

    If you like sauce and veg because they seem to have cut back on their meat in their take away dishes, stopped going there about 12 months ago. We now use the one on O'Connell St, opp the Texas Steakout.

    Unfortunately no :(
    There was a Hibachi grill in the Jasmine @10yrs back and thats the closest I've ever come across.
    Ze We Ton do offer some Sushi and Yaki Soba but nothing I'd consider as anything more than a novelty addition.
    I know Poppadom in Annacotty also used to do a 1 night a month Sushi night which used to be fairly good maybe they still do similar?

    A good quality japanese restaurant(and not just sushi/sashimi) would be a great addition here but on the other hand I wonder how many people would actually frequent one.

    Would love one here as the food is a nice alternative and even to find sushi anywhere is a struggle. Any chance you know where to closest one would be? Only one I know of is the one in dundrum and thats not all much :(

    Hopefully one will open soon but it may be some time.

    Anyone experienced this place yet? It was due to open August 1st, I can't seem to find a website for them. They have a deal with pigsback.com at the moment.

    Thanks

    I had breakfast in Petit Paris on Henry St recently after reading a suggestion on here. I ordered a full irish and I was disappointed because almost everything on the plate was deep fried and over cooked. I expected a bit more from the food but the service was good. They also have a selection of breads and pastries which might be a better option from a french styled cafe.

    Oh. Quite possibly I'm the one who suggested it. I've tried Petit Paris twice - had tea + pastry first time, then a crêpe or pancake or something like that the second time. Each time fairly good.

    I'd like to try the crêpes, maybe they just do a bad fry :)

    And I remember now: the lady who seemed to be the manager had a bit of an accent which was maybe French (or maybe I was imagining it — not good with accents). If so, that might explain lack of quality control re fry-up (the French don't seem to fry things much).

    The gourmet deli run by the Cornstore on Thomas street (not sure of the name of the place) do Sushi on certain days of the week. Looks like the real deal too.
