China Town Bray — Local services in The Municipal District of Bray

Came in as I had a bit of time and just asked for a starter (read the whole menu before walking in so I could be sure of what I wanted etc), the waiter who tended to me kept trying to make me look at the menu (I'm sure it wasn't ill intentioned but it was hard to communicate, he didn't really speak English) so I told him I just wanted the starter I chose please and explained that I wanted something small to eat and dine in while waiting for my bus. Was given my order as takeaway (he chose that without asking me) so I asked if I could eat in to another waitress that gave me my order (that's why I went in there in the first place, to eat in and sit down for a bit).

I was then told I was not allowed because eating in is "a different price" and it had to be 15€ (was not told any of this before, and I did not choose to takeaway in the first place).

I'm not sure they even read their reviews, but if they didn't focus on money-grabbing and instead actually served their customers with kindness, this place would be much nicer. Communication should be improved, and there shouldn't be such strict rules in a place we are meant to dine in, or at least put up some clear signs to inform customers of such rules. Just disappointed, was really looking foward to relax and eat a little after a rough day, this was...

Had a booking made in advance, went in as planned and had just started eating when we were suddenly told to leave the table — apparently to make space for other customers, who happened to be non-Chinese.

To be honest, I found the whole thing deeply disrespectful and quite upsetting. It’s hard not to feel that this decision was made based on where we’re from, rather than any genuine reason. That sort of treatment has no place in any decent business, especially here in Ireland where diversity should be respected.

I won’t be returning, and I’d advise others to think twice. If a restaurant can’t treat all paying customers equally, then it doesn’t deserve support. It felt like we were being treated differently simply because we are Chinese. That’s unacceptable in...

The food here is generally fine, and I used to come quite regularly. However, I had an experience that made me uncomfortable. After placing a takeout order, someone from the restaurant added me on WhatsApp using the number I provided for the order. I wasn’t expecting to be contacted personally, and the message I received felt a bit too familiar and made me uneasy.

Out of concern for privacy, I decided to block the number and haven’t returned since. I’m sharing this not to attack the business, but just to raise awareness that customer contact information should be handled respectfully and...
