Croghan Cafe & Coffee House in Arklow

19/11/2025: Best Chinese I’ve had in arklow 👏🏼

28/10/2025: I’m giving them 5 stars because: 1. Food- I ordered dry noodles as a side and salt and chilli chicken wings as a starter. The wings weren’t too salty and it was crunchy. So good with sweet and chilli sauce. The dry noodles was 10/10 as it comes with beansprouts, onions and Spring onions. I think it is the best among the best side noodles I’ve ever tasted ( for a takeaway level) . Not the usual dry noodles side you normally get from any chinese takeaway. My partner ordered Chicken balls and chips. The chips were Chunky and perfectly made. It wasn’t soggy and it was crunchy that it feels so good as it melts in your tongue. Not the usual soggy chips you get from other Chinese takeaway. The chicken balls were huge and it comes with an actual chicken breast inside. 2. Service- We ate our food inside the shop itself as we decided we don’t want to eat inside the car and it’s cold outside. They gave us plates and allowed us to eat in although its take away only (really appreciate that). 3. Atmosphere- The place itself is spacious inside, they have two tables and chairs you can use when you’re waiting around. Place was organise and not too messy inside. Chefs were wearing a hair cap while cooking which I think hygienic and great! Food from Chinese takeaways can either “great “or “just okay” but this one, you should try. Good value for money plus their food is simply amazing! I’d say cooked and prepared with finesse!
