02/01/2026: AVOID !!!!!! Man who i think is owner very rude staring waiting on your to finish your dinner very off putting lifting plates when others at the table are still eating Meals were all over the place rice was out 15 mins before the mains were ready 2 people's starters were out 10 mins after others had finished not a single person in the place seemed or acted like they had a clue what was going on i will not be back and I advise others to stay away

26/11/2025: Was here for my birthday lovely staff and friendly with my twins

08/02/2026: Cannot be faulted, always polite and friendly staff with a smile on their face. The option to pick and build your own meal is lovely and is the reason we continue to come back frequently

01/02/2026: The staff was kind and helpful.

24/12/2025: Pizza is like nan bread barely any toppings on it just cheese and dove

21/11/2025: Dirty place,food is disgraceful, hairs in the pizza,wouldnt feed it to my dog never mind human consumption..this place should be closed down and i will be reporting this to food saftey authority.never again 🤮🤮🤮

12/12/2025: Why is this place getting 4/5 stars? Buy elsewhere..esp during the week! So he is happy 😊 Fri-Sun (drunken days/hours of fast food) try order during the week 🤢

16/10/2025: I'd been passing by for a couple of years, wondering, as always, what else could surprise me... We had a kebab meal. It was delicious, the portion was large, the spices were just right, and there was plenty of meat. We finished the whole thing on our second try.

09/03/2026: Ordered a snack box great service and better food than it’s nearest competitors

07/03/2026: Ordered a Large Family Box for collection, supposed to be 10 pieces of chicken in it, i only got 8 ( 2 dinner boxes ) we couldn't be bothered to go back as we were so hungry at that stage. Nice food but check your order, and if you are working there check your own menu, a large family box is not 2 dinner boxes!

11/04/2026: Had ordered a pizza and a kebab from here for delivery, and after an hour+ of waiting it never arrived, when i called they would NOT give me a refund, unbelievable !!!

11/04/2026: ordered a pizza and a kebab from here for delivery, after an hour of waiting the food never arrived, when i rang i was never given a refund!!! waste of MONEY

21/03/2026: Miserable value food. Take away only, no seats or toilets. Paid €12 each for "Fish & Chips" but l the portions we got were more like "Chips & a fish goujon", compared to most places would be a half portion of fish, and it didn't taste good either! Asked for salt and vinegar on the chips; although the chips were ok quality, there was only a trace of vinegar on them, one portion had hardly any salt while the other chips had sooo much salt, I had to brush salt off of each chip before eating, they were sparkling with salt, I like salty but that was too much! It was just thown out at us, even though they weren't even busy. The place is obviously catering to the after pub market and don't care much about their customers.

13/03/2026: Superb fish and chips served by a lovely guy from Afghanistan. Thanks so much!

20/12/2025: This place used to be bang on but now don't bother every time you order there always something wrong with meal and there pizza am really poorly made no filling and sloppy doe, so no more from this place anymore I've given them couple chances but still don't care what they send.

12/08/2025: Shit food didn’t bring the pizza I wanted would not give us back the the money but we spent 160€ on food and forgot a pizza and would not deliver it back out would not recommend this take away

19/02/2026: Food was completely tasteless, it was freezing cold in the restaurant. Definitely will not be returning

01/02/2026: Staff were extremely rude, I would never set inside this restaurant again

06/03/2026: Very lovely food outstanding curry

08/01/2026: The food is a typical cheap chinese that isn't so cheap. Some of the dishes are ok like the curry, others use a bland basic fish sauce. The owners are very nice people but the woman on the till is very rude and always smoking outside and smells of booze. No gluten free options really as its all fried together.

21/12/2025: Over priced ,food was cold.,portions were tiny and we felt like we were seated in a hallway .staff were rude .never again ! Also breakfast served in a bowl ,im not a dog !

18/12/2025: Asked for a kids soup cup with mine because he hardly eats thay bring him a large soup and tell me it's all the same when it blatantly not clearly u can buy a cup worth for a 5 year old won't be going back

30/10/2025: I got a pepperoni pizza with chicken curry chips out of Hot Corner Pizza and Kebabs in Waterford City for delivery. The pizza was not up to standard, as there was a lack of cheese on the pizza and the toppings were only something from the supermarket, as they should use better quality ingredients for their pizza, because you are paying the price for good food. Also the chips weren't nice either, as they were cold on the outside and extremely hot on the inside. The chicken tastes rubbery also and the curry was mediocre, tasting like Chef or McDonnell's Curry, as you would expect better tasting curry for the price you were paying for the food. Overall, the food was not great out of Hot Corner. The service was a lot worse, because I got it delivered. First off, the delivery was late, which is not on. This shows that this restaurant is not punctual. Also I did not get an apology for the late delivery, as it is common courtesy to do so. When I collected my food from the delivery driver, he seemed a bit rude, as he did not look like he wanted to be delivering food, but still. It costs nothing to be nice. As I have not been to the restaurant itself, I am giving the atmosphere 0 starts. Hot Corner, cop yourselves on and manage your restaurant better or else you will just lose customers. Thanks.

14/10/2025: "WOW"...finally, I found a fast food place that reminds me of home, Liverpool City. I ordered the large pizza (Margherita) large donner kebab (fresh salad, tender tasty lamb meat) and chips (proper fat, chunky real potato chips), DEELISH food., and delivered for 3euro.. "The Hot Corner" Barrack St, I will not go nowhere else now... Nice one lads ... 5 Star fast food and very reasonable priced,.....15euro pizza, large donner n chips...STILL in 2025 the best

07/01/2026: Had veggie wrap and side salad. V tasty Generous portion

06/11/2025: Nice cafe with pleasant atmosphere, good coffee and scones. Slightly irritated by the flickering exit sign and the slamming door but maybe I’m a bit too OCD.

27/12/2025: Great atmosphere.. that’s about it. an absolute masterclass in how not to treat customers. We were served one drink and then, for reasons known only to the staff, suddenly became objects of fascination. Pointing, throwing looks across the bar. No trouble caused, no explanation given, just told we were not welcome. It’s reassuring to know your money isn’t good enough for certain establishments What makes it even more ironic is that a family member of our group owns multiple pubs and restaurants across Waterford city, places that actually understand hospitality. Respect works both ways. Staff here might want to be careful where they go for breakfast or next time they book that lovely meal, they could find themselves shown the door before the menu 😉 Plenty of bars in Waterford manage good atmosphere and basic decency. This isn’t one of them for sure.

28/09/2025: Nice place and good atmosphere.

11/04/2026: Service was slow and crowded with groups of kids loitering,causing trouble,vaping and taking up tables.

08/04/2026: While I was waiting for my food, I had time to observe the workers. It was not very pleasant to see, since a worker who works with food should not touch his nose and then with the same hands touch the food that he makes, and not only his nose, but also the lower part of his clothes, and also should not lean on the surface on which he collects food. This was Indian Man.
