The best restaurants in Kildare

15/04/2026: Doesn't serve food, only crisps, peanuts etc.

24/12/2025: I’ve been visiting this pub regularly since arriving in Ireland on the 29th of September. It’s a local pub where I’ve met many locals, and until now I’ve always felt welcome. Most of the staff are friendly and professional, including other waiters and bar staff who do a great job. Unfortunately, my experience today was completely ruined by one waiter, Eoin, who presented himself as the manager. My friend and I stepped out briefly to get food, and when we returned there was a young apprentice waiter at the door along with a few young women who said they were waiting outside for their parents who were inside. The apprentice asked Eoin if we could re-enter, and he refused entry to both us and the girls. However, the girls were later allowed in by someone they knew, so we followed them back inside. At that point, people were being served normally, including those same girls. When Eoin noticed me inside, he became immediately aggressive. Without attempting to speak calmly or explain the situation, he started pushing me repeatedly and physically forcing me toward the door, acting more like security than bar staff. This happened in front of a full pub, with many locals watching. I tried multiple times to explain and to de-escalate the situation, but he refused to listen and continued to put his hands on me. He kept insisting that I “had to listen to him because he was the manager,” though his behavior was completely unprofessional and unnecessary. I was singled out despite others being allowed to stay, and no reasonable explanation was given. Even after I tried to apologize to calm things down, I was told to “shove it.” I believe this kind of aggressive, confrontational behavior is bad for customers and bad for the business. It’s disappointing, especially in a pub I’ve supported regularly and where most of the staff do a much better job

12/08/2025: Small but also roomy if makes sense, we had a wheelchair. The staff were friendly, very helpful and informative . The food was generous portions and very tasty and felt good and fresh. We ate every crumb , pity bi room for delicious looking desserts especially the Lemon meringue, another day 😀 will visit again.

07/08/2025: Once my favourite restaurant in Athy, now after several inedible meals I have given up. The waiting staff are as lovely as ever, special shout out to Chloe and Katie, but the new chef is ruining the business. What he plates up is an insult. I have tried to speak to the owners, but they are never around. Please Tony and Michael, take charge of your kitchen, as I would hate to see this once delightful establishment close.

04/04/2026: China kitchen does serve the best spice bag in Ireland but today I got only 5 small chicken pieces in a small spice bag. Very disappointed.

23/03/2026: Good food. As everywhere has recently, its become expensive. I'll still continue to eat from here just not as often.

25/12/2025: I took medium Hawaiian pizza and liked, especially the dough, I definitely would like to visit them again, but I give 4 stars because they didn't put any tissues in, unfortunately.

11/12/2025: It's a pitty that we can't give 0 or -1 stars. Worst pizza ever, but like the worst by far! The dough looks plastic, and it's soggy as hell. For the price you pay you better off with a frozen pizza from lidl and you definitely get a better meal. Never again.

28/08/2025: This place was fab up until new owners took over,. Orders are been cancelled religiously, they don't answer the phone, food isn't the best, very oily, but the whole canceling orders is a joke!

03/08/2025: Me and my parents ordered and got chips battered sausage and a burger Chips had nothing in them or they were rock solid definitely reheats battered sausage was burnt This chipper has gone massively downhill

01/05/2026: Excellent Pad Thai and Spice Bag. I always collect my food and it's always ready. The price is great too. I recommend it.

04/03/2026: Honestly you'd have to pay me to eat here again. We recently tried it for the third time in the 4 years we've been living just down the road, in the hopes it'd changed. In fairness, the spring rolls and honey ribs were really good so that's second star. But the main courses.... I don't know where they get their chicken but it's like rubber foam, really revolting. The sweet and sour pork... couldn't work out if there was any pork in there at all and what was there was like the chicken. Paid extra for fillet beef rather than normal beef and it tasted like something unidentifiable that had spent hours in tenderiser. Gloopy sauces. Real shame, it'd be great to have a good takeaway down the road, but that was the last time for me.

04/03/2026: Used to love treating myself to their food but it's gone drastically downhill, the only notable thing is the lovely deliver driver. I've paid extra for sauces and got the wrong one (no refund) and the curry is inedible. Sadly don't think I'll be back here.

24/01/2026: Chicken came quite raw and the staff refused to agree that it was raw gave me a partial refund, claimed that they would eat this chicken and it was completely „cooked”. If u want salmonella order from here !!

02/05/2026: Best spice bag around. Always happy with staff, food and price

30/11/2025: I walked down to wongs garden in the rain with my little sister in the cold I ordered a slice box with a can of coke bear mind I ordered this spice box before leaving my house when I got down the the Chinese it still wasn't don't I came home and opened my spice box and the chips and chicken was burnt I took a bite out of the chicken and it broke half of my back tooth this is a disgrace 🤢this has never happened before

07/04/2026: Food was okay. Service tends to be quite poor

02/03/2026: Cozy, not too loud, but overpriced

02/12/2025: Large black hair in my salad dated back 4.10.25 - today being 2nd of December and still awaiting my refund as they came back to collect dish

02/10/2025: Absolutely terrible experience. First time ordering and for sure last time. Salmon with prawns has 2 prawns in it and one asparagus. Pasta with prawns has no prawns in it just a pasta. Brie cheese is not a brie cheese just pretending. Cost us more than 60e absolutely waste of money.

11/01/2026: Zero staff/customer interaction, maybe staff warned not to smile, food is average to good, owner rude and arrogant when confronted with complaint, would do well to drop into chemist next door and get some happy pills for himself and gloomy staff. NB Namesake in Rathcoole is complete opposite.

24/10/2025: Not good always seem to be out of chicken and don't answer the phone

09/05/2026: Poor start to finish Argumentative not nice person serving wouldn't go back in a fit threw the food away was that annoyed leaving

26/01/2026: i gotta say i was pretty let down with this place. IDK what was in those spring rolls but it didnt taste good. Special fried rice was below average.

07/02/2026: Always turned away at 10:30pm on a Saturday night after work. When site says open till 11pm. Young rude staff can't be arsed

18/11/2025: Decent place to grab a bite along the motorway. Staff were quick to serve and respond.

01/11/2025: Just ordered this evening, took over an hour to arrive and food was shocking
