The best restaurantsof chinese

21/02/2026: Very disappointing experience — the worst takeaway in Portlaoise. We were told delivery would take 1 hour, but after waiting an hour and calling, we were told it would actually be 1.5 hours because it was Saturday. After 2 hours we called again, and the woman on the phone was extremely rude and dismissive, saying they were busy and then hanging up. Absolutely unacceptable service — a total joke.

24/11/2025: Recently visited this restaurant and it was a bit of a mixed experience for me. The main thing I noticed was the price – the takeaway menu is okay, but when you eat in, the prices are almost double for the same items, so it doesn’t really feel worth it to sit in. We ordered a chicken spice box and I was not happy with it, because there was very little chicken and it was mostly filled with chips. We also bought a shawarma wrap, which actually tasted nice, with a chicken strip in the middle and rice, but the wrap itself looked more like a spring roll wrap than a normal shawarma. The curry dip was really nice though and added good flavour to the food.

25/10/2025: Numeric review: 2/5 Summary: An average Chinese restaurant that serves a wide variety of options at above average prices. Detailed review: Pros - - Ambiance - the restaurant featured a classic Chinese representation - Chow Mein - the chow mein was generously prepared (quantity) with a good flavor Areas for improvement - - Quality of food - the kung-pao chicken and cashew chicken were nearly identical in taste with the exception of a few chili pieces. The complementary prawn crackers were cold and tasted of a stale oil Critical - - Price difference between takeaway and in-house menu - the prices (images attached) show about a 10+ euro price increase over the takeout menu. The prices are not commensurate to the quality of food or speed and quality of service - these prices were not advertised on the website and hence captured on the images

26/12/2025: Great food, had meal for three. Loads and scrumptious jad to take leftovers home.

11/11/2025: Food is good, service for take away ok but service in the restaurant very poor, it has change a lot in the years, waitress wasn't friendly at all and a bit rude explaining about the dishes. I wouldn't go in the restaurant for dinner.

27/01/2026: Waited 1.5 for delivery, food was cold and disgusting

22/01/2026: Ordered the tofu kung po, hot and sour soup and spice bag. Absolutely disgusting! The tofu kung po was pale in colour rather than the dark sauce and just tasted wrong. The spice bag was salty rather than favourable with spice bag flavours. The hot and sour soup appeared very thick and black in colour. There was meat and baby prawns that were rancid tasting and rubbery.....vomit worthy. All in all such a waste of money and time.

12/09/2025: Very disappointed by the quality (or the lack of it) of the food and the subsequent level of service. I ordered sweet and sour king prawn dish to have at home. When I opened the box, a very strong smell of vinegar hit me. When I tasted the dish, the vinegar taste was even worse. Everyone in the house made the same comment about the smell. I phoned Dragon Boat and explained my issue. I was told that the operator tasted the sweet and sour sauce and that there was nothing wrong with the dish and he was not willing to make another portion or a different type of dish for me. He was simply not interested to resolve the issue but to only get me off the phone. I reiterated the fact that if I was dining in, I would not have paid for something I do not consider of acceptable standard. And yet, with a very arrogant tone of voice and without a hint of an apology, the worker told me he would not be doing anything for me as if everyone starts complaining, the restaurant would not be in business. Tonight, my consumer rights have not been respected and I am sharing my experience so people know what to expect ftom the staff in Drsgon Boat, Kilcock i.e. either hope for the best or stay hungry.

21/02/2026: Absolute joke of a place. We ordered from lins palace on Wednesday night & as the time was 30 mins past the delivery time & it came up on just-eat that food was delivered. I rang & was told they couldn't get through because of the night run which wasn't completely true as the way they come isn't the only way to access my house. Then she said they'd tried to ring my husband a few times which they hadn't & when I said he had no missed calls she then back tracked & said oh no the driver was just about to ring your husband. It was already 30 mins past delivery time & it said it was delivered. We asked for a refund & was told to contact just eat as thats were we placed the order. We did that & still no refund why because lins palace had marked the order as delivered. No apology or even offer to send the food for a delivery later the same evening or even a later date.

24/01/2026: we have party for 6people ，order a lot only 110euro！ and food i think is best in dublin！

01/02/2026: Terrible service. Made us pay extra money on the rice and tried to fool us. All employees have attitude especially the owner. Ignored us completely when we tried to add some water for the table. Food is a 2/10. Definitely won’t visit again!

15/01/2026: My family and I have been coming for years and it's been pleasant every single time. My friends and boyfriend also enjoy it. The food is decently priced for the portions provided, it's tasty and fresh. The staff is friendly. The restaurant also has a nice atmosphere. Wonderful place for a birthday dinner or if you want Chinese food whether you want dine-in or takeaway.

19/09/2025: Lovely place to eat and drink will defo be back lovely owners who run the the establishment would recommend

12/07/2025: Best in Kildare without a doubt. Black bean is class. Spice bag and curries in the same league. Well worth it

02/02/2026: Celebrated me and my partners engagement with family, and was a perfect place for it. Kids enjoyed there food and was not disappointed. Always great food in this place and never does be a let down.

01/01/2026: By far the worst experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Waiting 2.5hrs for food and when it arrived first all the order was wrong and when it eventually came it was stone cold. Paid almost €500. Absolute robbery.

05/11/2025: Your food was so tasty, thanks 😋

04/08/2025: Got a takeaway that I ordered online. I was starved. Hit the spot.

07/12/2025: Good service and food is always good

23/10/2025: Friendly staff, fast service, and very good food. I ate there twice in four days. Highly recommended.

21/02/2026: Food wasn't great. Curry was bland and lumpy. Black pepper sauce had a strong taste of burned garlic. Service was fine but wouldn't return.

25/01/2026: It's a shame that the place currently only does takeaways, and it has the potential to be a nice restaurant like it was years ago. I recommend the food.

19/10/2025: Very good food,the atmosphere was not great.The staff were lovely and ready to help out always.

21/11/2025: Food is absolutely beautiful and the owners obviously have pride in there food iv been there nearly once a week every week and always consistent.
