I just got take-away from Golden Rickshaw. It was really nice. It was really like my local chinese in Cork so I was happy. I've been trying to find a decent place since I moved here in September.

Have to compliment the girl who took my order. When I gave her my address and directions she actually took down the directions and gave them to the driver, as opposed to just giving him the address and allowing him to get lost. I wish other take-aways would do that!

the Bamboo place on Dominick St is lovely and really cheap. They are fast as well.

A lot of people rag on them because they have a somewhat "chequered" history with the Western Health Board. I however love their stuff. They do the best chicken chow mein in town.

Do they still do that jumbo spring roll that's a meal in itself?

Robbo, is the chicken really chicken though? Proper chicken like....

Chicken are raised in inhumane conditions, but seagulls are free range.

wasn't there one in phisborough called the Pui Quay ?

I heard about that Spring Roll, have yet to sample! I think the place is under new management? Besides, many of the "fine" establishments of this town have questionable standards by all accounts. Chinese restaurants are easy targets for criticism. Myself and my friends eat in Bamboo way more than we should and have always found the food lovely. Just cos it looks a little sketchy... 7euro 20 for a dish and rice! Frienly staff as well as speedy service. The other place across the way is to be avoided though.

the golden mountain in menlo is my local.
cant complain

Ming Gardens absolutely fab!
But I think Curry House is the best value!
Just ate a yummy one and they only took 20 mins to deliver to the other end of the city.. mmmmmmMMMMM

Da Tang Noodle House on Middle St. do takeaway. Their eat-in stuff is fabulous, not the usual sugary sticky wobbly chinese food you get everywhere else. I'm assuming the take-away is good too.

I've been going to Golden Rickshaw for years and never had a bad takeaway from there. And they give you loads of fresh veg in no matter what you order which I like (doesn't seem as unhealthy that way, less guilt!).

Think the first chinese food I ever had was from there... They had a nice chicken and cashewnut thing that I thought was gorgeous. Mmm

So, where is the best Chinese take away in Galway?

I like the one in Oranmore that is upstairs. I can't remember its' name but it is quality. They don't use MSG. I live on the other side of the city so it's miles out of the way.

Canton Cottage in Salthill was the best for years but there seemed to be a change of ownership and a change of name to Canton Kitchen but it just went downhill.

Any other suggestions?

Not sure of the best but I can tell you the worst- The one in Ballybane beside supervalue. Utter Scutter. Cant even think of the name, my brain must have erased that from my memory.

A feed there = Many hours on the toilet

+1 to that

i used to really like the one near cuba but then it closed

golden rickshaw is my main one now

I have to recommend the Mill Palace in Oughterard. The finest Chinese restaurant in all the land,and the prices aren't bad either. Its a great place for a special occasion dinner.

I would have to say Asian Fusion, the one upstairs in Oranmore is by far the best, especially if you used to be a fan of Royal Villa that used to be in town, same people. Its actually a restaurant, but great for takeaway - plus they do deliveries now!!!! I like it cos ya can get stuff you wouldnt elsewhere, and its all savage!!!

Emperor City down at the bottom of domnick street its got nicest snack box going unreal ...mmmmmmmmmm ..

well worth a try !!!

Back before Oranmore got all modern, I used to go to the Golden Rickshaw for my Chinese fix. If I'm ever in town and looking for a pre-beering feed I always go to the Rickshaw. Never disappointed.

Personally I think the Best Curry in the world is in the Bamboo takeaway in Dominick street...but the rest of their food is terrible.

The spring rolls in the Bamboo are amazing - a meal in themselves. I don't ever get anything else from there.
The Curry House at Cooke's Corner is, as people have said, very good and good value. The Villa in Salthill has great Salt & Pepper Squid but it's a bit pricey.
Best Chinese Curry Chips are from that place in Mary Street.

China Court (Ballybane) does a Spicy Szechuan Beef that is very very good. Best Chinese I've had in Ireland!

poshie

anyone remember China Inn down near Buskers?
Great place but it closed down. Can't remember what it is now since i moved to Dublin. They did a lovely Black Bean sauce.Ahhhh memories.:rolleyes:

Have to mention the Wong Sze (called the "wrong size" by most for obvious reasons) in Oranmore, where the Moorings used to be. Friend recommended them so myself and Mrs Fozzie bear went in before christmas for a take away and it was fab and quick service too.

Another +1 here, even the chips where terrible.

Think they just moved out to Wellpark because it is the exact same menu in both places and they taste the exact same.

I'll second that. Wong Sze is the dog's bollocks. Great food and really cheap. Main courses are only €7 and they sometimes don't charge for rice.

Agreed.
Great place/


THe one in Cappagh Road is also excellent.

banshee_bones

Me and My friends have sampled alot of places all over galway trying to answer this question!

My friend loves Golden Rickshaw, i dont.
Another likes China Garden in Wellpark and have to say i agree!
When I lived in Doughiska Chans was quite good
Ming Garden, no idea they did take away,find their food rather bland
I hated Da Tang
Recently the place on dominic street proved rather good

However always end up back at China garden!

galah

My favourite is the Curry House. Nice food, reasonably priced.

The worst I've had so far was the Golden Rikshaw. Mankiest food ever. Will not go back there.
