Frehill Tavern in Dublin

06/09/2026: Brilliant, just as Ka Shing nearby. Great value too. I wish I tried it earlier, I was just suspicious of the 4.2 reviews, but personally, I’d rate this place at 4.8 or more! It’s just so good. The prawn cheung fun, the squid scallop dumplings, even the stir fried mushrooms were perfect… Seems this restaurant is a bit of a Dublin institution, having been founded in 1991. Highly recommended. Great service, and I love the retro decor, it’s comforting unlike new restaurants which are all about fancy interiors but overpriced mid food. Will be back here soon!

06/09/2026: (march 2025 - 4 stars) literally nothing bad to say about this place. love it. har gow, siew mai are amazing. char siew and siew yok were amazing as well. wow their ngau yuk hor fun was phenomenal. felt like i travelled through space and was back at home. unfortunately liu sha is a hard no go - nowhere near runny and was just a custard. i mean if you like custard buns why not (sept 2026 - 3 stars) came back and the standard has dropped…. 小笼包 and har gow stole the show for us. however, xiu mai & their 瘦肉皮蛋粥 was so lacklustre and bland. sio bak was really good but charsiew was quite subpar. i feel like there are quite a few hits and misses here now. nb you will be charged €3 for ginger which is outrageous because how can a chinese establishment not offer ginger and vinegar together with their xiao long bao. prices are on the higher end as well.
