Chinese Takeaway Portarlinton

kikel

Where is the best take away? I tried the Jasmine in the East End last night. I taught it was muck. What do ye recommend?

ILTS

The one next to the Dublin Bar, cant think of its name is by far the best. Owner's name is Tina. Was the first one in Port, and is still the best.

ChuckProphet

i reckon the one down the alley next to costcutter is the best. can' t think of the name

stevoman

tina's is the oldest and the best. ask any portarlington local

Roaster

The best one is the New Star (I think it's called) across from Mathews cafe. I wouldn't touch the one besides The Dublin Bar. I know one of the lads who maintains the kitchen equipment in there and I won't say what he said but lets just say I won;t be eating there.

I like the Jasmine for a sit down but yet wouldn't order a takeaway from it. I don't know if they have different chef for the takeaway but the food doesn't taste the same.

Slightly off topic, but I went to the Indian restaurant (can't remember the name) just off the square and the food was unbelievable. There was no one there (although whilst we were there the takeaways were flying out) on the Sunday we were there, which I found strange considering the quality of the food.

Agreed 100%. Although I do generally end up at Tina's door of a Friday night when I'm down in Port

I used to work in the Hotel, and one morning last year the Health Inspector came along and before we knew it the lads from the Chinese had 22 buckets of chicken hidden in a room out back which we used to store kegs. The buckets stayed out there until the HI had left.

Call me crazy, but I'd think that was well dodge. Haven't frequented the Jasmine since.

We like the Good Year just for the joy of giving them all heart attacks when ordering dumplings!

And yep, the Delhi Darbar has FAB food! We eat there loads...cue cholestrol filled heart attack

I tried Tina's for the first time last week. It was so salty i could only eat half of it. And I generally love salt on everything. I won't be going back.

Mountrath

hi Ruby J..... Toms Bar used to be called the Dublin Bar, years ago and i think the name has just stuck to it, the older people around the town usually call it the dublin bar

No it was TC's!

maybe it was called the pony express before that then, but it was called it because my brother worked there at the time, Thanks for helping out kmart

My family use to run the Dublin Bar years ago. Think the name was already on the pub when we took it over.
