Mandarin Delight Dublin — Restaurant in Dublin

The food was great, the servings were huge and the overall atmosphere in the restaurant was chill but I can't in good conscious give this restaurant a good review after I was racially profiled by the waiter. Me (white) and my girlfriend (korean) went to this restaurant today and were greeted well by the first waitress that came to seat us and gave us water. The both of us were very polite and so was the waitress, so far everything is great. However when the waiter came to ask us our order he asked my girlfriend first with a smile and was polite, however when he asked me for my order he not only side eyed the hell out of me but completely changed his attitude when talking with me. So far I'm thinking things are a little weird but don't think much of it. He comes by again and asks us if we want chopsticks, the both of us say yes, and he hands my girlfriend the chopsticks politely but when he gives them to me not only does he refuse to look me in the eye but he was super aggressive with giving me the chopsticks, as if he was disgusted with my presence. Lastly, when he came to give us our food he gave me my food first and then loudly made a comment towards my girlfriend saying "don't worry the chef told me to bring the best for last" likeee?????? This wasn't some form of flattery towards my girlfriend but disrespect towards me and his body language showed it. I have no clue what this mans problem was with me, me and my girlfriend were nothing but polite from the second we entered to the second we left. Even my girlfriend noticed something was wrong without me even mentioning it. If you're not East Asian and come to this restaurant don't find it weird if you're treated...

After a morning of cherry picking, we were ready to fill our bellies with something good. However, the choices close to Brentwood on our way home were few and far between. We searched for something that seemed good and this place kept popping up. After a short discussion, and with nothing else to go on except the few reviews we found, we decided this would be worth the risk. After a short call to verify they would be open for lunch, we made our way. When we got there, we found them in a nondescript corner of there mall. Did we doubt our decision? Well, read on! We entered the place just about 1130h, their opening time. The place was empty, but we were welcomed with big smiles by the staff and promptly seated. We ordered their garlic noodles and the usual fare and were soon faced with a spread that smelled delish! We weren't disappointed. I must say that the food was quite tasty, the portions hefty and the ambiance quite pleasant. Soon after we were seated and enjoying our meal, we realized that the place had filled. Apparently, we found that we made a good choice because people were in and out ordering food to go and some, like us, sitting to enjoy their meal in house. I believe that a Chinese place where there is a line, is a sign of a good place to eat. Being the first customers of the day, had us worried a bit until the place awoke. That's when we knew we hit the jackpot. We will surely be back soon. We only live up the hill from here and are always willing to drive to special places like this. We'll be back. And will bring reinforcements. Thanks for the...

Don’t expect anything fancy when you walk in, but don’t let the “look” fool you. I have been on the hunt for a good Chinese Restaurant in the Tri-Valley for the past couple years and haven’t had any success until today! My friends and I decided to take our chances after reading through the reviews, which isn’t something I normally do. Sometimes people are very unfair and rather than talk to the establishment about their experience, whether good or bad, they normally just post a bad review. I like to give a place an opportunity to make things right if I have had a not so great experience. This place from the start made you feel very welcome. Like I said, nothing fancy, but the warm welcome, along with the delicious food was perfect for what we were looking for. I asked for the Spicy Eggplant to not be too spicy and I added Prawns to the order as it didn’t come with meat. It came out piping hot in temperature, but perfectly seasoned. We each ordered the luncheon special and it came with soup, a wonton and I chose brown rice. So many restaurants have recently started cutting back on their portion sizes, that wasn’t the case here. After eating what I wanted, they packaged up each of our orders to take home. There was enough for another meal. I will definitely be returning to...
