Mandarin Castle in Dublin

My son and I shared a meal here last week. It was delicious food.now the only thing… The fillet beef (€24! was very lacking on texture . Just strange and gangily (If you get me) I felt over soaked/over softened. No bite. Now in fairness I give 5 stars. This meal was replaced with no question, with a very tasty chicken dish. The atmosphere is lovely. The staff are very nice. The spare ribs were Devine. Great satay sauce ( the mark of a great Chinese restaurant in my book) Noodles DEVINE! Smoked chicken starter was George. We got a side order of broccoli and this was THE MOST DELICIOUS broccoli I’ve ever tasted. I’d go back just for that. It was €100 with a pot of China tea and two soft drinks. So the drinks + 2 starters 2 mains Noodles Rice Side dish of veg. Well worth €50 each with a nice takeaway for my son to have the next day. We loved this place and will go back. QUESTION; Why do so many oriental restaurants ruin their fillets of beef with soaking/swelling/ softening. I’ve yet to have a decent bite friendly beef black bean! Anyway everything else was superb. I highly recommend ♥️

Comida bien, pero muy caro. La red tenía un precio de más de 20 euros, que eran bastante promedio. El personal era agradable, pero no volvería

Pretty reasonable place for a meal. The duck with pancakes was impressive and the quantities are more than generous. A real crowd pleaser.

Wonderful staff very friendly and the food is fantastic

Went here for a date night on a rainy eve. Very welcoming staff, great food and lovely cozy ambience. Loved the shredded chicken starter- very crispy, lightly battered and fried to perfection. The chicken soup was good as well. Main course was great too . Would definitely visit again

Great food, very friendly efficient service
