Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant & Take Away in Maynooth

04/03/2026: I don’t usually leave reviews but I absolutely had to mention this lovely experience in Costa coffee in the mill maynooth. I was having a pretty bad day and went into this store to get a coffee and the loveliest young girl served me, her name was Alex and to say she cheered me up and had me leaving there feeling ten times better then I did when I went in is an understatement. I was a moody mess when I went in there and this lovely girl was patient and kind to me, I didn’t even know what I wanted to order I was flustered and probably a bit snappy 🙈😬 and she took the time to go through different options with me with kindness and patience, I actually told her that the service industry needs more people like her, I wasn’t the nicest of customers yet she still was so lovely and kind and it made me immediately switch gear and snap out of my mood, I apologised for my behaviour and she just smiled and said “oh gosh no,please don’t” I said thank you so much and as I left I felt 100times better and I just wanted to share that because I wasn’t very pleasant when I went in I’m embarrassed to say but this girl Alex was so lovely and sweet regardless and she really made my day better and also without knowing it she made a big impact on me and I appreciate so much the people that work in the service industry, I’m sure it’s not easy so I’m really going to make a bigger effort going forward to be friendlier instead of just ordering with a snappy face on me 🙈 I was even much happier for having had such a pleasant interaction. I hope all that makes sense! I just wanted to credit this wonderful staff member. I will 100% be back to this store.
