Went here with a friend for a late lunch prior to going to the Bord Gáis theatre. Wow, Kwanghi sure knows how to charge for food. The portions were on the small side. We got a large portion of the popcorn chicken to start, now while it was very tasty it was just about enough for two people but could have been enough for one person if they were rather hungry or had a large appetite. My friend had the tacos for main, again delicious, but there were two small tacos as the portion - it was like a starter (€15). She said that there wasn't even a full chicken breast contained in the portion provided. I had the chicken katsu curry bowl, which was a lot of rice, a small breast of chicken drowned in curry sauce, and some pickled ginger (€18). When we asked about the dessert menu, we were told there were only two things available, both of which were chocolate-based! Unfortunately, neither of us is a chocolate fan. The service was excellent. With four large Asahi beers, the total was approximately €85. I hate to say that we had to get popcorn in the theatre to fill us up. I could possibly understand the prices if we were right in the centre of the city. But no, this restaurant is a good 20-30 minute walk from city centre.

Everything about this place was exceptional. The food - to die for, possibly the best cheescake I've had.
Recommend the ramen bowl!

Bites by Kwanghi is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Dublin!
It's one of the best Asian tapas restaurants I've ever been to.
The salt and chilli chicken wings were incredibly crispy with a delicious spicy kick, and the roast duck pancakes were packed with flavor.
I'm definitely going back to try the ramen next time.
What's unique about Bites is its connection to the wine bar next door, Fresh. You can actually choose a bottle from their extensive selection and enjoy it with your meal at Bites for a very reasonable corkage fee (around €7).
The service was excellent – our server was friendly and helpful.
The atmosphere was lively and buzzing, perfect for a fun night out. I can't recommend Bites by Kwanghi enough!

Fairly average experience sadly. The fried chicken dumpling starter was nice, the Korean chicken wings were a bit flavourless, was expecting something a bit spicier.
The Korean Gochujang Fillet Chicken Rice Bowl is very poor really, a plain breaded chicken fillet on plain boiled rice with a small bit drizzle of sauce on top. I had to add in the peanut rayu that's on the table to add some flavour to the dish. My partners Spice Bag bao buns were a nicer dish to be fair so the menu has some decent options to choose so choose wisely.
Service was average, poor greeting experience, wrong drink, had to ask for cutlery to eat my main with. Prices are high but it's location explains that so it's fair. Worth trying but wouldn't come back.

We ate here for an early dinner. The service wasn't great right from the start. We werent greeted at all (sign to wait by door to be seated) and server just asked do we've a booking - no hello or welcome. Then waved us over from very back of restaurant instead of walking over to us and asking us to follow. Small things like a greeting go a long way. Bad service continued with wrong drink order, long time waiting to be served and waiting for bill.
The food was fine but nothing amazing tasting, looks pretty and overhyped online but taste was just average. The dumplings were lovely but the bao buns, and signature bowl were honestly average and overpriced.
The restaurants decor is beautiful and so well designed, I just wished the service and food were worth it. Don't think I'd return again.

Very fresh and good. Certainly the best ramen I've had in Dublin. The chicken in the ramen was freshly cooked and hot, the cured egg was cured not boiled and had its own flavour. Highly recommend.
