Staff are lovely and owner is so friendly too. Keep up the good work. We'd go nowhere else only Corcorans. Been a good while since anywhere decent to eat in the area but nobody will top them now. Fantastic work and credit due to u all aswell 👏

03/11/2024: Didn't have any food but the place was great, had a great night with karaoke

04/02/2025: Really good food 😋 always fresh and def the best chicken balls I've ever had. Last sunday evening I rang in an order for home delivery at 4.45pm... at 6.10pm the food arrived cold. It cost 32.64 so I rang back the takeaway to explain and she was reluctant to replace my food and said it always cooked fresh and they were busy. I said I get that your busy but you surely don't expect me just to accept cold food. She agreed to send fresh hot food and said it could be half hour. I said ok I understand. 5 mins later she rings back saying she would not send fresh food that it would be the same issue again and it's always cooked fresh. She argued on the phone for 5 minutes and refused to send food. We have been good customer to golden spring for many years and this is how we were treated so sham on you now we won't return. What cost us 32.64 would of only cost you a few euros to prepare

02/02/2025: Ordered food from these many times. Unfortunately, after waiting 90mins, the food was cold. When we contacted the restaurant they refused to replace the cold food and suggested we "just heat it up". I understand they are busy but customer care is not priority here. Awful follow up service I'm sorry to say

05/03/2025: Love the coffee, food and service here. Top notch.

14/12/2024: Had an oat cappuccino and was charged €4.60. The dearest coffee I've had in a long time. 60c for oat milk is just greedy. Whilst the coffee is very good, it's overpriced.

23/01/2025: Food was poor on occasion was there many times before was always great not so on this occasion

15/12/2024: Friendly service & welcoming atmosphere. The food was good, as was the Guinness.

09/03/2025: We ordered a takeaway away yesterday , it took over 1 hr and 45 mins to get to us. The delivery driver was lovely and very apologetic , the kebab was amazing but the chips cheese and coleslaw was not good, chips were only half cooked and most were inedible. 6 euro for delivery when it took that long wasn't really fair.

16/11/2024: We frequently order from them. It's the best Indian food I've delivered to my door in 11 years of Ireland, and note that I lived in 2 cities and 3 small towns. I highly recommend it for a cosy night at home.

25/01/2025: We got a pizza delivered today.... Best ever. Forget APACHE.... Forget EVERY OTHER ONE. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

09/02/2025: Lovely meal, we got the carbonara and chicken buon gusto, both really tasty. The staff were excellent, very polite and attentive. Would recommend for couples, families and parties alike.

06/02/2025: Delicious pizza and generous portion of chicken with tasty veg and potatoes. Very helpful and efficient service.

11/02/2025: We love it. Would just love to maybe see a little more variety some times.

22/01/2025: Great food in both take away part and cafe part and staff are always friendly

07/02/2025: How many times have we eaten there! Great food!

27/01/2025: I’ve been going to the oriental for years and have always has a pleasant experience and great food. However, there seems to be a new young member of staff who has made my experiences very unwelcoming recently and perhaps might drive me away. She has made faces of disgust while looking and me and my mother as well as obviously pointing at us and laughing to another co worker about us. It made me feel horrible and very unwelcome. I’m more than certain she was making fun of me and if not it’s very disrespectful behaviour. She was strawberry’s blonde, around 5’5 and big build. I thought she answered to another co-worker by the name “Mel” but im not sure. Hope this behaviour is sorted out so i can back to enjoying my Chinese peacefully. Please train your staff to know good hospitality.

20/02/2025: The food is ok it's more like a takeaway then a restaurant as takeaway seems to be their biggest sellers and when you're sitting there people constantly coming in and out.

15/02/2025: 2 and half hour of waiting time smashed the record! First half of the food arrived in almost 2 hours(cold) then in another 40 minutes another half. No discount offered :) just as much i like their food , never again! I was advised by a member of staff that it will take up to an hour. If you are hungry consider the waiting times people
