Red Torch Ginger Maynooth in Maynooth

Our table was on the terrace,it was so dark literally pitch dark , no overhead lighting where we were to the left . Very pleasant waitress after sitting for 25 minutes we had to beckon her over to take a drink order. Starters were lovely, sent back the pancakes that came with aromatic duck as it was a clump of sticky dough, however replaced quickly. Prawn Pad Thai was inedible. A plate of sweet sticky visually unappealing stodge. The king prawns were hard and dry very disappointing. (1st photo)The curry’s got the thumbs up. As did the desserts.

Delicious food. Fast service. Highly recommend.

The restaurant looks and feels lovely when you walk in. The staff are attentive and nice too. Our requests were perfectly met. The food however felt rushed and lacked the kind of flavour that would have you rushing back again. My Calamari (very nice) was served on top of raw onion chunks and rocket with little to no dressing on it. Yes, the calamari was nice but why bother with the rest of it? My Chili beef was also nice but there was way too much of it. The dish lacked any sort of nuance. You’d expect cooks and chefs to understand portioning. But have way through I knew I was going to leave a large amount behind and want sure if desert would be possible. None of this means it was a bad experience. We had a nice time and we ate well. The restaurant kitchen just lacks a little polish that would get you the top marks.

Typical thai food. Green curry was good, it will be great if more vegetables. chicken satay was below average as I dont taste anything in chicken, it was deep fried and cover with peanut sauce. Overall isnt that bad to take out from 5 stars

Consistently really good. What more can you ask for.

RTG Maynooth is one of our favourite restaurants to visit - the service is always of a very high standard, the staff are extremely friendly and the food has been excellent every time we visit. The menu is excellent with something for all diets. I particularly enjoy the duck pancakes, dim sum and Singapore noodles. The presentation and portion sizes are great and the flavours are amazing. The desserts are all delicious. There is an excellent choice on the drinks menu, both for those who drink alcohol and for those who don't, which is a bonus. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxing with plenty of spaces between tables.

Had a staff do recently in the Red Torch Ginger....From the original booking to the last spoonful,the service,ambiance and food was flawless....Highly recommended

2 Course Lunch price was okay, the food quality let it down. I had chicken satay to start & the chicken may have been precooked & heated again as tough in texture & very chewy. For main I had Singapore noodles with prawn, the portion was huge but the salt content made it almost inedible. Disappointing to be honest

Fancied some Thai food whilst visiting Maynooth recently, so thought I'd try this place. At first, it was difficult to find (FYI located upstairs within McMahons), however once there all was well. Food was great and served promptly. Service was good, too. Would recommend fro those wanting Thai or anywhere to eat in the Maynooth area.

Very busy, great food and service but music was slightly too loud for comfortable conversation imo.
