Tasty food
If you’re hunting for authentic Cantonese flavors in Dublin, this spot is a must-visit. It’s easily one of the best in the city.
The star of the show is undeniably the Roast Duck, the portions here are very generous. You definitely get your money's worth
I ordered a takeaway - sweet and sour spare ribs followed by sweet and sour chicken. Both dishes were delicious, full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Excellent food and highly recommended.

Hi Conleith
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the Sweet & Sour ribs and the Sweet & Sour Chicken.
The food was flavorful, fresh, and truly authentic.
The staff delivered a consistently high level of service, their professionalism, coordination and being informative created a warm and inviting atmosphere.
During my visit, I happened to chat with a lovely woman in the restroom who shared that she and her family have been coming to the restaurant for over 40 years, that kind of loyalty speaks volumes and as someone with an Asian background and having lived in Europe for over a decade, I can confidently say this place has set a standard that’s hard to surpass.
The team was friendly, precise, and exceptionally attentive. A solid 10/10 experience.
