cant complain

imagine how good it would be if they fixed that door :P love their 4 in 1 tho.

serfboard

MSG-free: Best places in Galway City are The Asian Tea House and Da Tang.

Others (I'm unaware of MSG status, so we'll presume they use it, and outside the city): The Royal Villa in Claregalway, and Ken's in Gort and Loughrea.

Mill Palace in Oughterard still stands to be the best chinese I have ever had! Such great food!

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

China court has gone down hill like a rolling stone too fast to gather moss.

Had it a couple of weeks ago and a while before that again, rotten both times.

I mean, I couldn't eat it. At all.

Never again.

We've switched to Chan's in Doughiska (easier to get to now for us) and they're owned by the same people... and it does seem to not be as nice as before, but certain items on the menu are still good so we stick to them for now...

Asian fusion in oranmore- really nice not greasy at all!!

I like Ming Garden. House special chow mein. Two thumbs up.
Also the name.
Ming the merciless + Flash Gordon. Accidental genius. That chans place, I used eat there a bit when I lived in Doughiska and it really has gone downhill of late.

kens in loughrea is to die for and well worth the drive...:)

I somehow doubt that there is a chinese takeaway on the planet that is worth a one hour commute...

What about the world's cheapest michelin starred restaurant?

OK it's a teeny bit more than an hour and definitely out of the city boundaries.

It has 20 seats - therefore it is not strictly a takeaway

Have been very disappointed by any of the takeaway we've got froM
there:(

Anybody know what the other Chinese takeaways in Oranmore are like?? We often do a night with friends out there and get food en route to bring with us. Def won't be getting it from Asian Fusion again tho.

King Ding in Westside, just at the entrance to the Glendara estate. Yum. Nicest I have tasted in ages.

Was wondering if that place is nice..there always seems to be cars outside at night which is a good sign! I think the best one is Amber in barna..yum!

We've tried a few around the place but found this to be the best, loving their sweet and sour chicken, chow mein and king prawn dishes in this house.

Do King Ding use MSG? Any online menu? Need to get something for tonights dinner!

Royal Villa in the aquarium do deliveries now, definitely my favourite Chinese.

We tried Tasty House recently and it was great to be able to get both Indian and Chinese from the one place.

Got a Tamarind delivery recently too (not technically Chinese) and was very impressed. Yummy yummy.

Going to give King Ding a whirl this weekend.

Chinaman - Can be hit and miss.

Dynasty just across the street from it is nice, I've only had it twice mind, but lovely both times.

If my ar$e could talk, it would say that they do have MSG.

I went there once but never again. It was busy which is a good indication in my book, but the food wasn't great. I had Singapore Noodles which was very bland (although the portion was generous) and my other half had Sweet and Sour Duck which she didn't finish citing a lack of duck and an abundance of rice

I had a dose of the trots that night but it was short lives. That said, my kids enjoyed what they were having (although I can't recall what they ate).

Thumbs down.

The Yen just beside the Coach House Hotel.

Asian Fusion (more expensive but definitely the best one in Oranmore) is upstairs in the building just before the turn off for the Astro Turf/Castle Road.

And The Chinaman is far from crap, it kept me in 3-in-1's and great duck dishes every weekend for years.

Also, got a delivery from The Curry House in Newcastle last night. Quite reasonably priced and the food was delicious. Great big crispy spring rolls and free prawn crackers. nom nom nom...

TerrorFirmer

Golden Mountain and King Ding are pretty good for that sort of typical MSG-packed greasy takeaway....

The Yen in Oranmore changed hands, name, and then closed down, don't think it re-opened. Which is a shame, as I found it the best out of all of them, really liked that place - and they were literally the only place in all of Galway I could find that do crispy Japanese chicken! Asian Fusion is a different level altogether in terms of quality - for both food and class - and not exactly comparable to your typical chinese takeaway, so depending on what you're actually looking for, it could be considered good/bad. I always thought the Chinaman was medicore, the ultimate decadence in takeaway foods....

I've been getting Limeleaf lately,some really good stuff. Huge portions.

Placebo Effect

Is there any proper Chinese Restaurant in Galway? By that I mean one which does authentic Chinese dishes rather than the black bean / cashew variety?

Redhairedguy

The Asian Tea House on Mary Street, or Royal Villa in Salthill would be the highest class of Asian restaurants in Galway and most likely the best to find the real authentic cuisine.

Da Tang Noodle House is a firm favourite of mine for the proper Chinese dish as well. Their herbal teas are the biz!

Tamarind (Spanish Arch) is delicious. Amazing, amazing food but fairly pricey. They do a lunch menu for €10 though which is excellent value (between 12.30 and 4.30) Highly reccomend the thai green curry.

Cappagh Chinese is a personal favourite. Cheap, awesome and with large portions.

Royal Villa over the aquarium is very expensive but has fantastic food. Very classy as well.

Went to King Ding once and it was grand. Heard good things about it from others but what I got was nothing special.

Lockstep,where's Cappagh?

Cappagh Road out in Knocknacarra. Head up the Barna road Past the Knocknacarra church and turn right down Woodfield.

They also do takeaway. Definetly reccomend it.
