    Does anyone know if this restaurant is still open?

    I've been trying to ring all day, with no response. Very odd.

    apparently so, was trying to call them as well and someone told me they read it in the paper that it's closed down

    shame, they were going for 20 years in stillorgan, the move to sandyford just didn't work for them

    I think I read that Stillorgan was the father's restaurant who retired and the son started one up in Sandyford, shame as the Stillorgan restaurant was my favourite Chinese.

    Yeah, front page of the business section of the IT today, with photo and everything. Gone, after 25 years. What a shame.

    Who would try and make a good restaurant work in an industrial estate a business park? Know your market.

    In fairness, the Beacon South development looked set to be a massive urban residental area, but the end of the boom has left it looking like an ugly, urban wasteland with unfinished apartment and office blocks.
    All of these were supposed to be packed with young professionals, and I'm sure the owners of such resturants were hoping to thrive based on this new market... and on keeping their old clientele.
    Yet another legacy of the property bust.

    TBH though, it was a moderately expensive restaurant - whereas there are a lot of traditional, cheaper restaurants on Parnell/Capel St these days.

    People are a lot more price sensitive these days as well.
