Good World Restaurant in Dublin

Above average dim sum place with a traditional Chinese restaurant vibe! All the dim sum we ordered were not bad. The siu mai and har gao had a generous amount of shrimp. The prawn cheong fun was delicious and simple. The rice roll that they used for the cheong fun is well done, which made that dish stand out more than the rest. The black bean spare ribs had a good portion size and it was all meat! The shen jian bao had a fluffy pastry but not a big fan of the filling. Overall a good meal but there was more left to be desired. I am a big fan of the vibe here so would return again for sure, maybe once in 2 months or so.

Good dim sum. Good price. Very busy place. Better book a table before you go.

Maybe one of my favorite meals in Dublin! The roast duck and crispy pork belly were perfectly done. Total bill was around €69 for 3pax.

Very nice experience, very kind waitress. Excellent food.

Good World on South Great George’s Street is not so much a restaurant as it is a full-blown sensory assault — and I mean that in the best possible way. I went in with a few mates and my Chinese girlfriend, who, thank the culinary gods, took one look at the vast and frankly bewildering menu and assumed full command of the ordering process. She tried to explain what we were having — bless her — and I nodded along like a Labrador being shown a calculus textbook. I understood nothing, but I trusted the process. And then… the food avalanche began. We ordered three starters and three mains to share, and my friend and his girlfriend did the same. The table — clearly built for a quiet meal between two people with no elbows — quickly disappeared beneath waves of steaming plates and sizzling platters. By the end, we were strategically stacking bowls like it was a game of dim sum Jenga. The wan ton starter? Sensational. Delicate, hot, salty — everything you want in life. My girlfriend fell head over heels for the cheung fun, which I can best describe as silky tubes of joy. And then came the star of the show: the Ma Po tofu. A spicy, punch-you-in-the-face kind of dish that had me sweating and grinning like a madman. Now, let’s talk atmosphere. This place is loud. Not the kind of loud where you raise your voice slightly. I’m talking aeroplane hangar full of revving V8s loud. Why? Because the tables are crammed so close together you could genuinely sample someone else’s crispy duck by mistake and no one would notice. Intimacy? Forget it. This is communal eating in stereo. The décor? A bit tired. Paper tablecloths, old furniture, and that slightly worn-down charm that says, we’ve been here for decades and we’re too busy serving food to care what you think about the lighting. And they’re right. You’re not here for interior design tips. You’re here for serious Chinese food done properly. Location-wise, it’s bang in the middle of town, so you can’t fault that. But if you’re planning to drive, don’t. Unless you enjoy the kind of parking experience that ends in tears, tickets, or both. There is zero free parking nearby. You’ll end up abandoning your car somewhere illegal and hoping for the best — just get the LUAS or a cab and save yourself the stress. In summary: Good World is gloriously chaotic, comfortingly authentic, and just the right side of unhinged. Come hungry, come curious, and bring someone who knows what they’re doing — preferably someone fluent in both Mandarin and menu management.

Stuffed my face with dumplings, worth it

I had the Beef with Black Bean Sauce and the food was tasty. The Beef Dish was €22.50 and it was an extra €4.50 for rice + an extra €6 or so for a bottle of beer. My partner had a dish composed of pieces of chicken coated in spices in a bowl with lots of pieces of dried red chillies. The only complaint that we had was that the portion sizes were quite small. So just a warning, if you're hungry you'll need to order more than we did. On another note, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice restaurant in a good location.

Traditional Chinese Cantonese cuisines, the congee’s are tasty and huge amount. Xiao Long Bao are delicious. Service is very good same as the design of the restaurant.

Food was pretty good. Best items were the golden sand prawn and hargow. My wife's favorite was also the golden prawn and soup dumpling.

Nice place to go but is just missing something. Food was good but not the best I’ve had. Service was great on the night but think there is just nicer chineses in Dublin
