Kites Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Dublin

This restaurant was one of the most outstanding and authentic restaurants in ireland back in the late 80s and early 90s. We would always book our table which was D3. The food and service was amazing. The decor of the restaurant was like a high end restaurant you would see in London and Paris with fresh crisp white linen on the table, fresh flowers, large mirrors on the walls, a 5 Star Service, unbelievable food and a wonderful atmosphere to top it off. Yes it was a bit high in price, but you came out of this amazing place feeling like royalty. Now sadly the decor is not the same, all the mirrors are gone, the walls have big bird kites on them, the food is like any other Chinese restaurant, the service is low key, and the outlay of the restaurant is mostly all gone, toilet are runned down, and you would be better off turning around and walking out and buying yourself a bag of chips, walking home and forgetting all about what used to be a 5 Star restaurant that is now just a memory in it's pass....

They also kept trying to remove our plates before we had finished our meal. Quite a disappointing meal, I had expected much better and we certainly...

DISGUSTING- avoid at ALL costs. I’m writing this review 5 minutes after collecting my order - shows how bad it is. €36 euro for that terrible excuse of a Chinese in the picture is a complete joke! ‘Salt and chilli chicken’ not a single chilli or bit of seasoning and tastes like soap. Tastes worse than frozen chicken so god only knows what it actually is. Picture of the chips are self explanatory. Egg fried rice - such a simple thing they’ve managed to completely and utterly ruin. Wouldn’t feed a wild animal that food! Although the animal would smell it and be smart enough to turn its nose up at it.

I genuinely think the other reviews on here are from fake accounts or bots. I don’t believe anyone on earth could...
