    Anyone know of a nice Chinese around Dublin... Every Chinese I'v gone to had something missing... Either the chicken was lovely whole breast but the rice was muck and the chips where re-heats... Or the side orders were fabulous but the meat was rubbery... The only decent Chinese I'v had in a long time was Wongs in Ranelagh...They had the most amazing starter... Half Roast Duck with little wraps... But the wraps were like silk and the sauce was very light but tasty with some garnish on the side... But of course the main course was terrible... surprise surprise :rolleyes:

    ah yeah aromatic duck is savage i loves it..

    recently i have eaten in the shirley house in crumlin and the far east in ballyfermot

    in the shirley house i had won ton soup which was spot on no complaints whatsoever (except maybe it was a bit hot). For the main course i had cantonese again really nice with light fluffy egg fried rice and very well presented.

    in the far east i had the aromatic duck (very similar to what u described yours to be like), followed by pork chow mein..the pork and sauce and whatnot was spot on but the noodles were just a bit rubbery but it was really busy.not that thats any excuse but i would assume that would be the reason

    Good World between Dunnes Stores and Shalimar on Georges Street has generally been regarded as the best Chinese in Dublin city centre for a number of years. Haven't been there in ages though

    Zao in Omni Shoppping park. Just beside the cinema there. lovely food and always good. Good early bird menu as well. It costs €16.50 for 2 courses.
    The chili crispy beef is yummers!

    Around Moore St and Parnell St. if you want the real deal, they have badly translated stuff on the menus like dry fried guts, but dont let that put you off. The food is deadly and not all that expensive. They dont use much MSG like the Westernised places and use two menus, a real one and a western one.

    The Zen in upper Rathmines.

    Have been getting my chinese from them for years and have only had a few I didn't like.
    Though, they can be kinda scabby with the sauces so I usually get an extra portion.
