Oriental Cook-In Takeaway
Dundalk
14/04/2026: Well run efficient friendly service, very busy takeaway, lots of options , huge menu, oriental noodles and other oriental dishes, spice bag very good. ( only reason for less stars is kids chicken strippers a little too much batter and not enough chicken, safer to order noodles or proper oriental dishes, spice bag lovely flavour, quite spicy
06/04/2026: Just had my first order here and OMG!! Nicest in town so far , the egg fried rice so clean white and full of flavor, salt and chilli noodle box amazing full of favor , everything was just cooked to perfection and full.of flavor my new takeaway⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

13/12/2025: Always order online , so dont know how it is inside but for some reason the pizza tastes better when you leave it overnight and then microwave it, not sure if im just a weirdo or that makes it taste better.

River Cafe
Dundalk
16/03/2026: Popped in for something to eat on Mothers day. Food was good and the servers even better. It's a bit of a hidden gem.
01/03/2026: Foods lovely top notch. Only downside is that the floor staff walk around every 2 minutes getting a vibe that we're being rushed and can't enjoy the food

Kingfisher
Dundalk
03/04/2026: My favorite restaurant in dundalk. Deserves 5 stars. Noel and staff really welcome us, every single time. They build wonderful connections with customers. Food always perfect, hot and plentiful. Cant say enough good things about this place
19/03/2026: One of the best places in Dundalk to try Irish dishes at a great price.
The fish and chips and the Irish breakfast are really filling and satisfying. For the quality, the prices are very reasonable, €17 for an Irish breakfast and €20 for haddock fish and chips.
It’s also in a great location, right in the town centre, which makes it even more convenient.

McDonald's
Dundalk
06/05/2026: I had a really disappointing experience at McDonald’s that I feel needs to be addressed.
I was served by a staff member named Naoise, who was absolutely lovely—patient, polite, and genuinely kind. She handled my request professionally when I asked for extra caramel and went to check with a supervisor or team lead named Grace.
Unfortunately, that’s where the experience completely went downhill. Grace reacted in an extremely unprofessional and aggressive way. She raised her voice, slammed the caramel down on the counter with unnecessary force, and then proceeded to speak about me while I was still standing right there at the window. It was uncomfortable, disrespectful, and honestly quite shocking to witness.
There was absolutely no reason for that kind of attitude over such a simple request. Customers should never be made to feel like a problem or spoken about in that manner. I left feeling disrespected and singled out, which is not acceptable in any customer service environment.
Grace clearly needs further training in professionalism, communication, and basic respect when dealing with customers. On the other hand, Naoise deserves recognition for maintaining a calm and friendly attitude despite the situation.
I will be escalating this to head office, as this kind of behaviour should not be overlooked.
05/05/2026: Most the times I go, there's something missing or wrong with my order

Rum House
Dundalk
03/04/2026: Great spot for an evening meal- I love their Thai green curry! They even have courgettes in it which is my favourite vegetable. The atmosphere is always fantastic.
Their most recent renovations have brought it to another level!
I also recently discovered their lunch menu which is Devine- they have this open chicken sandwich with melted cheese, I can’t remember the name of the sandwich but it is so delicious!
I would recommend this place for couples, families or groups of friends. 10/10
22/03/2026: Everything has every allergen in it?!? Somehow steak and club sandwiches have peanuts in them? We then asked and were told that it's because all the food come from the same factory and they can't be sure of anything. How can you be charging those prices for food packaged in a factory? Outrageous. My entire party declined on dessert then because of how ridiculous this is. Would not recommend

Domino's
Dundalk
29/05/2026: I placed an online order with Domino’s Pizza on 26 May 2026 at 11:57 pm. I monitored the app and saw the item’s status at the restaurant in Dundalk until 1:36 am. Finally, it was marked as ‘delivered’. I contacted the restaurant, but they claimed two delivery attempts had been made and they had tried to contact me. However, I had no missed calls that day, and two other residents were waiting for the delivery. No one saw or heard anything. The staff argued with me, insisting on taking the delivery driver’s word, which I hadn’t heard. I requested a refund, but they offered only 50% of the total amount, which I declined. They offered to speak to the manager, but he informed me he wouldn’t be in the building until 1 pm the next day. I contacted Domino’s customer care through their website, but I didn’t get a response. No delivery attempt was made to my house.
28/05/2026: This place is so hit and miss lately must be new staff not getting any training or not knowing how to make pizzas got two pizzas for my kids and wife and myself and 1 pizza had no sauce whatsoever and the other had a bucket load dominos do better

Gourmet Palace
Dundalk
21/02/2026: We recently dined here as vegetarians and had a mixed experience. The hot and sour soup was genuinely very nice — flavourful and served hot, which we appreciated. We ordered veg chow mein and vegetable satay for mains. The chow mein was average and the satay was okay at first.
Unfortunately, while eating, I found a piece of chicken in my vegetable satay. When I pointed it out, the staff initially said it might be bamboo shoot, but I showed them that it was clearly chicken and they acknowledged it. They offered to replace the dish, which I appreciate, but at that point I had lost trust in the food, so we declined and asked for the bill.
To be fair, the staff were polite and attentive at the start, but we were still charged full price despite the mistake. I understand errors happen, but for vegetarians this is a serious issue, not just a minor inconvenience.
Overall: good soup, average mains, but a major concern for anyone ordering vegetarian food. I hope the kitchen improves separation and quality control.
25/01/2026: Scrumptious food, excellent staff,they really give you a good experience, definitely go there again.
