The Orient in Maynooth

Best Chinese in the whole of Ireland hands down, North & South, absolutely authentic & delelicious.

Very goos place for an easy night out

Super restaurant, food is fantastic, service is excellent and the place is spotless. Never disappoints.

I'm leaving my 5-star review for the following reasons. The Asian food is very good and varied. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with music at a perfect volume. They treated us wonderfully, even though we were with our 2-year-old, a detail that was much appreciated. The restrooms were very clean and well-maintained. The service was attentive and fast. I highly recommend it for families. And a special mention to Alfonso for his kindness.

The food was absolutely delicious, the service friendly and kind, and the atmosphere lovely for a nice meal, with fsmily and friends.

Waiter was so nice, food was great, definitely recommend!

Food is delicious! We tried the sushi platter and it was great. Staff is friendly and the place has very nice atmosphere. Will come back for sure!

Excellent service, excellent service. Highly recommend.

Honestly, I was very pleasantly impressed by this Asian restaurant. It’s definitely one of those places you want to come back to. The interior is beautiful — minimalist, stylish, and thoughtfully designed in deep red/burgundy and grey tones. Everything was very clean and well maintained, which immediately creates a nice atmosphere. The staff deserve special praise. They were extremely polite, calm, and attentive throughout the visit. They checked in to make sure everything was okay and made us feel very welcome. I also really appreciated that they offered cutlery (knife and fork) in addition to chopsticks — such a thoughtful touch for guests who prefer an alternative. The sushi with smoked salmon and cream cheese was very tasty, and the traditional miso soup was warm and comforting. Overall, a lovely experience. The team absolutely deserves great reviews — and good tips 😉

One of our favourite places to eat, we go about 4-5 times per year. The reason I've dropped a star is because we received a voucher for €150 and decided to use on Valentines day. The bill came to €101+ and when presenting the voucher we were told that it could only be used in one sitting. It is written in small writing on the voucher but we didn't see it and the person who purchased wasn't told either. As a result we had to accept a bottle of wine and crackers. The wine is served in the restaurant at €43.( €11. 50 in off licence ). When I asked why the vouchers were not sold in say €50 increments I didn't get any answer. Disappointing to say the least as in other restaurants we were given our remaining credit in another voucher. A warning if buying vouchers for a considerable amount, make sure you split them up.
