    ^^^IMO that place couldnt be any more over rated!!!

    But i usually get my take aways from Bamboo House in Douglas, Probably the best chinese take away that i know of in Cork. Prices are good for the quality you get!

    I always enjoy Tung Sing on Patrick St, I haven't tried many other Chinese places in Cork but the food there has been very good any time I went there and the service is among the friendliest I have encountered in any restaurant I have eaten in.

    tung Sing is very nice at a good price.

    I think the one in Ballyvolane is the Pheonix House. That's nice too.

    Jade Palace is definitely the best take away/delivery place. Food is really good and price is very reasonable!

    Phoenix House in St. Lukes is cheap and really nice. Its hard to get parking there at the moment though with the construction. Tung Sing's is very very nice also. Wylam's has great food but the staff have no manners.

    Mandarin is the best takeaway IMO. Been ill after several Jumbo takeaways. Jade Palace / Tung Sing for sit down.

    Clearly a dillusional student!!

    Jade palace is absolutely hands down the worst chinese I've ever had..

    Their Appetisers deserve particular mention for the utter crapness of 'em!!

    Manfu House feeds me well when I need it :P Don't like the Yangtze River anymore...

    Ambassador is by far the best for sit-down though.

    Fancy meal for girlfriend/family: The Ambassador, very comfortable, dark, nice atmosphere, vastly inflated prices for the quality of the food, waiters stalk you, keep refilling your water after one sip :P

    Next best alternative: Star Vast, nice, not too expensive, food is as good as the ambassador. My favourite chinese in Cork.

    Avoid!!!: Loon Wah, trust me.

    Jade Palace, good for chicken curry and chips before heading to Mangans but otherwise sh!te.

    Mongkok, not actually chinese food; it's sawdust which is battered and deep fried, with rice or chips.

    I ate there twice, the food was typical of any Irish chinese.

    I have to mention that the manageress/owner/woman in charge was seriously, seriously ignorant and barked at myself and my girlfriend when I asked a question about a menu item, she also tore the head off one of the waiters while he was at our table serving us (she was standing beside him).

    I live beside the Wylam (Wellington Bridge), the next closest chinese is in town and I'll still never go there again.

    It's probably as good as you'll get in Ireland?
