    I've lived in Leixlip, Maynooth and now Kilcock and the best Chinese by far in North Kildare is the Flaming Wok in Clane, I used to travel to Celbridge as there was no decent place in Maynooth/Leixlip/Kilcock, but got word of this place and have never looked back since....the take away is always jammers...well worth the journey

    Royal City in Maynooth and Wok Inn in Leixlip are my favourites.

    Flaming Wok in Clane, yum yum yum.

    Got food poisoning from the place on xmas eve before last but still eat there so that has to be saying something! If I'm gonna get food poisoning, there is no place I'd rather get it from :)

    I like the takeaway from the Wok Inn, on the captains hill. But if i'm going to sit in somewhere, Miss Wongs is the place to go.

    i went to the Miss Wongs once, the place was nearly booked out, i was wondering what all the fuss was about, when we did manage to get a seat i ordered the fillet of beef seshwan (mind the spellings). There was no more fillet of beef in as the was speghetti hoops. It was the same rubbery beef you get in any other chinese takeaway.

    I didnt like it at all.

    I used to be religious about Miss Wongs until I tried Choys in celbridge. Its the best I've ever had. The rendang Malaysian curry there has to be tried!

    Anyone tried the new place in Maynooth yet? I think it's called The Orient (opposite Brady's, beside the AIB). The sign outside on the street mentions an 'All You Can Eat' lunch buffet for €8.80 (:eek:) everyday between 12.30 and 3.30.

    I've been in there for the 'All You Can Eat' lunch. It's very good value, they just put out a large selection of dishes and you take what you want. Great way of sampling all the different dishes too.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles to avoid the DRS fee.

    +1, just back and it's good value. Packed with kids (not surprising consider they eat for half the price, i.e. €4.40!) though who managed to knock over a table. Get there early.

    They are still waiting on takeaway menus (they have one taped to the counter).

    I was in the Annabel in Leixlip today...its where the Amber Regent used to be...food was amazing but service was crap!!!

    our orders were taken within about 5mins of us arriving...about 10mins later we had our starters...when we were finished our empty plates were left sitting on front of us for about 20-25mins...while waitresses were standing at the next table setting it and were walking around aimlessly!!! finally they were taken away and bout 5mins later mains came...when we finished yet again plates were left sittin on front of us for 15-20mins!!! we then asked for the cheque which arrived with in about 2mins but wasnt collected for 10mins!!!

    there was a big table next to us some of who knew the manager and they seemed to be getting all the attention and we were forgotten about, or so we felt!!!

    the restaurant was cold due to broken raidatiors which i dont blame on the staff but the fact that there was empty seats around which would have been warmer was slightly annoying!!!

    still food was really good...it'll just be take away next time!!!!!

    City centre charlies for me, athough I am sure some of the place on parnelll street east are really nice. or the one in epicurian.

    Have always used Miss Wongs for the last 7 years . The last two weekends i've got it & its been horrible.:mad: What's happened. New Chef? cheap meat cuts? Penny pinching? Couldn't eat it last night. Going to have to use a new chinese, any recommendations?

    have to agree, miss wongs has gone downhill in my opinion.you've hit the nail on the head though.some definate penny pinching, all the way down to not getting enough sauce with my chicken! meat also hasnt been great lately.

    I get takeaways from canton house now beside eurospar. i remember hearing they got new management a few months back. anyways the portions are huge! one portion of chips easily does 2 hungry people along with whatever theyre having.

    the annadale when the amber regent used to be is lovely! i've eaten in and taken out and was really impressed! a little further afield, both royal palace and singapore fame in celbridge are lovely!!! and if theres a few of you, a meal for say 3people in the royal palace actually has 4meals and so on, and they have no problem with changes!!!

    We were driving through once and I got a beef chow mein as its easy to eat from carton.

    Was beautiful and nothing like the crap you get up here in my opinion.

    where you from, if you dont mind me asking??

    I think what put me off was someone I got a take away with ordered noodles in gravy or something strange like that and I was just like wtf but i think i got chow mein from there too and it was actually nice.

    I think the Flaming Wok has gone down hill a bit. Like they aren't using the freshes veg as they were. Like they are trying to save a few euro on things. Haven't been there in a long time
