Lion King Chinese Restaurant in Kilkenny

31/07/2026: Was the only place serving food in Kilkenny when I got into town and boy did I hit a gem. The wonton soup and house special fried rice was authentic! I was the only one eating inside and got a chance to talk with Yen, who owns the restaurant with her husband. Wonton soup was perfectly seasoned and the right size for an appetizer. The house special fried rice could’ve been split for two or eaten by one of you were really hungry like me. The fried rice was not short of proteins, including large shrimps throughout the dish. Would recommend if you want some Chinese or need a break from the local cuisine 😅
