Absolutely great evening. Located right beside temple bar, close to buses, taxis, pubs etc.
Itamar was particularly helpful. We did a large group session Dumpling Making. The team were lovely, the activity was so fun & the FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING.

Food was delicious. All ingredients were extremely fresh and well prepared. Might seem a bit pricey for the portion sizes but given the quality of the food that is where the value lies. Delicious vegan options including ramen.

I organised a group booking for dumpling making class (which includes a drink and meal including the dumplings you make) for a friend's hen party. The group had an amazing time, the vibe was fun and relaxed, the staff were super and the food was great. There were a nice variety of fillings to suit different tastes. I'd highly recommend for a group looking for something different in the city.

Fantastic food and the absolute best vibes! āāāāā
āHad a brilliant experience at Lucky Tortoise in Temple Bar! The food was absolutely great, but what really made the night was the incredible service. The staff are super friendly, always greeting you with a genuine smile and bringing nothing but positive energy to the table.
āThe overall vibe of the place is wonderful. It can get a bit loud and buzzy when itās completely full, but the acoustics weren't an issue at all - we were still able to hear and understand each other perfectly. I'll definitely be coming back here again soon!

Iād highly recommend Lucky Tortoise. We went for the dumpling workshop and were completely blown away by the experience. They teach you around 4ā5 different dumpling-folding styles, and they also have vegetarian options.
Itās such a fun activity, making dumplings while relaxing, chatting, and sipping drinks. What surprised us even more was how amazing the food afterwards was: the kimchi rice, crispy okonomiyaki, and scallion pancakes were all absolutely delicious. And of course, our own dumplings which started off looking a bit sad were beautifully steamed and turned into little works of art.
Such a unique and fun thing to do. Another nice surprise was that the best dumpling maker wins a gift voucher!

Lovely service! We didnāt have a reservation, but were quickly seated and ordered with ease. Veggie tempura was excellent! The atmosphere was a bit loud, but that was mostly from other happy customers.
