06/07/2026: We went early on a Monday with no reservation, I would say make sure to book if looking for 6pm onwards. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere although it was quiet when we were there.
27/06/2026: We stumbled upon Red Torch Ginger in Dublin completely by accident, and it turned out to be one of the happiest surprises of our trip. Both of us were craving Asian food after a long day, and since Thai is one of our all-time favorites, we decided to give it a try.
From the moment we walked in, the first impression was excellent. The restaurant has a stylish, modern Asian aesthetic with elegant touches — warm lighting, tasteful decor, and a classy yet welcoming vibe that immediately makes you feel relaxed. It strikes a lovely balance between contemporary and traditional Asian design without feeling overdone.
Since we had already eaten a light dinner earlier, we kept things light and ordered just a couple of small snacks to share along with two cocktails. I went for the Raspberry Martini, while my partner chose the Red Torch Cooler. Both cocktails were beautifully presented and packed with fresh, vibrant flavors — the Raspberry Martini was nicely balanced with a smooth finish, and the Red Torch Cooler was refreshing and slightly tropical.
For food, we ordered the Tom Yum soup and Chicken Satay. The Tom Yum was outstanding — rich, aromatic, with that perfect balance of spicy, sour, and savory notes that makes Thai cuisine so addictive. The Chicken Satay was also very tasty, with a flavorful marinade and a nice char from the grill. The only small critique is that the satay was a bit on the dry side (the peanut sauce helped, but it could have used a touch more moisture).
What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly — they had that classic Asian hospitality that makes you feel truly cared for. They checked on us multiple times, offered recommendations, and were happy to accommodate our lighter-order request without any fuss.
Overall, Red Torch Ginger delivered a wonderful experience. Great ambiance, delicious flavors, and excellent service made our accidental visit feel intentional. We’d definitely return for a full meal next time — especially for more of that Tom Yum! Highly recommended if you’re in Dublin and craving quality Thai food.
