King Skewer 小串王 — Local services in Dublin

My friends and I came here to celebrate finishing our master’s theses. The food was great, but the service? Unbelievably unprofessional—if you can even call it service. Our lovely waitress couldn’t seem to hear our repeated requests for water. When it was time to pay, I went to the cashier only to be told, after an eternity of waiting, that the bill would be brought to our table. It was finally delivered so discreetly that none of us noticed, leading to 15 minutes of pointless waiting. I then had to personally return to the cashier to hand over my money. When I tried to voice my concerns to someone who appeared to be the manager, she had the nerve to interrupt me. How they’ve managed to stay in business is beyond me.

I had the vegetable fried noodles (lots of broccoli, scallions, cabbage, sprouts and red onions with a very light but peppery sauce), and a side of squid belly, which was pan fried with chili spices. Descriptions on the menu are not in english, and the staff struggles to explain it a little, but just order something, you won't be disappointed. From what I saw around me, the skillet potatoes looked good, definitely a strong curry on them. Eggplant skewer was huge and looked delicious. Soups looked amazing, won ton or sweet potato noodle soup. crispy spicy chicken also looked good. That's probably...
