The best restaurants

09/08/2024: I've ordered from here two times, both have been slightly disappointing. The tapioca pearls were slightly stodgy and didn't have a very fresh texture, and the drinks tasted very artificial. The service was okay, but the shop isn't a very nice place to sit in while you have your drink. Overall I feel there's a lot to be desired, 4.9/10.

30/07/2024: literally the cutest place ever!!! staff is so kind and the boba is amazing <33

11/06/2025: Great pints, friendly locals and good craic lads behind bar.

30/11/2024: Crap food, crap staff, no care given to the overpriced pathetic food served here. Never complain in restaurants as it is not my style but I explained to staff and was ignored. Terrible steak with zero flavour, menu was equally Awful. Utterly disappointing food here. Hotel really should be ashamed of what it is dishing out.

23/11/2024: Food was top class, I had the prawn tacos and I’d highly recommend. Service is always fantastic here, very friendly and helpful. We were served by Ciara. Christmas decor is up which created a great atmosphere.

09/12/2025: Ozzy was excellent ,extremely helpful

26/08/2025: The team at Espresso in Brown Thomas Cork are always so kind, warm, and welcoming. They’re quick to come up and help, incredibly attentive, and always go above and beyond to make sure you’re looked after. Such a lovely experience every time – thank you!

05/03/2025: We booked the place for a private party and the service, food, drinks, and karaoke room were top level!! 100% recommended

19/10/2024: Staff were friendly. Pizza was really tasty. Really liked the Rascals IPA.

20/06/2025: Very disappointed food gone very bad got a lamb dish would have needed a chainsaw 2 cut it 2 ring and be told its the suppliers fault not how it was cooked sent it bk 2 order chicken came and it was sandwich chicken 4 the prices there chargen its a joke poor food poor quality wont be ordering from here again 😢 😞

30/05/2025: Just ordered a chicken madras from this place and instead I got a turkey madras. The chef insisted it was chicken when I brought it back but, 5 members of the family tasted this and said immediately it was turkey. Before I even took a bite, I knew it wasn't chicken as it was in slabs and not the same colour as chicken. It was fairly tough too. I wouldn't recommend this place. Spend the extra few quid and get food delivered from Swords. You might fool some folk but you won't con me. Money was refunded after a brief argument. Such a shame because the sauce is really nice and spicy. Last time I'll be ordering from this place.

27/03/2025: I used to be a regular of this takeaway with my partner and it was fine but god now the last two times the service has be so so bad over half hour for are food terrible service we be going to apache from now on and the food is actually nicer

05/03/2025: Great spot for a good breakfast, 6 euro including a nice coffee, where would you get that value? Standard of takeaway food is generally very good her for the price.

19/11/2025: Best Chinese I’ve had in arklow 👏🏼

28/10/2025: I’m giving them 5 stars because: 1. Food- I ordered dry noodles as a side and salt and chilli chicken wings as a starter. The wings weren’t too salty and it was crunchy. So good with sweet and chilli sauce. The dry noodles was 10/10 as it comes with beansprouts, onions and Spring onions. I think it is the best among the best side noodles I’ve ever tasted ( for a takeaway level) . Not the usual dry noodles side you normally get from any chinese takeaway. My partner ordered Chicken balls and chips. The chips were Chunky and perfectly made. It wasn’t soggy and it was crunchy that it feels so good as it melts in your tongue. Not the usual soggy chips you get from other Chinese takeaway. The chicken balls were huge and it comes with an actual chicken breast inside. 2. Service- We ate our food inside the shop itself as we decided we don’t want to eat inside the car and it’s cold outside. They gave us plates and allowed us to eat in although its take away only (really appreciate that). 3. Atmosphere- The place itself is spacious inside, they have two tables and chairs you can use when you’re waiting around. Place was organise and not too messy inside. Chefs were wearing a hair cap while cooking which I think hygienic and great! Food from Chinese takeaways can either “great “or “just okay” but this one, you should try. Good value for money plus their food is simply amazing! I’d say cooked and prepared with finesse!
