From having traditional Irish dishes for a couple days straight prior, this was an ideal change up to switch up the flavors. I ordered the Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak with Sambal Prawn, and Singapore Laksa Lemak which had fish balls, chicken and tofu. All so delicious. The Roti was warm and buttery and when dipped in the curry it added a rich and savory bite. The Nasi Lemak with the perfectly cooked prawns were also amazing. Perfect texture and also savory to provide that warm and familiar asian comfort food. I'm not sure what the thin fried crackers are that came with it but that also added another flavor combination to try. Also so good. Finally, the Singapore Laksa was so delectable. The rich coconut curry broth and noodles paired with a bite of tender chicken, fishballs and/or tofu made for a super enjoyable dish. I came in for dinner towards the final hour before closing which may have gone in my favor since there was a table available when I walked in. The staff were very attentive, patient and friendly. Definitely will look to go visit their other locations!

I went to Langkawi (the restaurant, not the island) on the recommendation of a Malaysian friend so…read moreI had high hopes of super food. I was in Malaysia about 8 years ago and the food is absolutely amazing, I was very excited about a little piece of a Malay experience in Dublin. The owner was really attentive and took very good care of us explaining all of the dishes and he even said he'd order for us so that we had a good experience. For starters he brought us a variety of the starters so that we could try a few. These were nice although the deep fried ones were pretty oily. Not a hugely different experience from another Asian restaurant. The problem with the owner choosing our dishes is that I have no idea what I ate! The main course was delicious, I had a chicken dish in a hot and spicey sauce with rice. My friend had a lamb curry-ish dish which he devoured. We just had ice cream to finish off as we were pretty full at this stage. Bonus points for Langkawi because they had lassi which I absolutely love but you can only get sometimes, I had a scrumptious mango lassi. Yum.

I may of just found one of my favourite places in Dublin!!…read more It's been running for 25 years now at this stage and my parents used to go there most weekends all those years ago, I got my first visit the other weekend and it was a very good one! The owner and head chef, Alex, is a really nice guy and he managed to find the time to come out in between cooking delicious curry's and say hello to all the customers! The food, was so authentic and fresh and was really good. I had the prawn fritters to start (battered prawns with a sweet and sour sauce) and then the squid gulai curry as a main and it was fantastic! The squid tasted so fresh and the rice was very nice aswell! The sauce had a perfect spice and really flavorous taste to it. This is definitely worth a visit if your looking to go out to ballsbridge / town for dinner and want a delicious and not expensive Asian cuisine! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Came here for lunch today…read more They have a lot of different bubble teas, including non-milk teas (which is great for me since I'm lactose intolerant). I got the kumquat tea with the tapioca bubbles and it was delicious. The menu here is pretty big. There are dishes appetisers, main courses, and desserts. There are dishes from Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan, China, and Thailand. It's a little overwhelming, but variety is the spice of life, right? I went for the Taiwanese Braised Pork with Rice (though you could get noodles instead of raise). The pork was delicious, and practically melted in my mouth. The dish came with a miso type soup beforehand, so between that and the bubble tea I left pretty stuffed. The cafe itself is decorated really cutely. The had lots of little Easter bunny stuff out (cause it's Easter). The honey toast looks pretty delicious. That'll be my next order at Mosa.

Did you need to satisfy your Asian fast food noodle craving? It seems a lot of people come here…read morejust for that reason. This place seems to be a fan favorite to dine in or for take out. Although I didn't stay, the tables were occupied and everyone seemed to be chatty in front of their large bowls of noodles. It's definitely not an ideal place for a first date, but more of a 'I've go a lot a crap load of work to do', last resort, quick, lunch time, I want noodles kind of place. They've got a variety of Regular Noodle boxes like Ho Fun, Honey Soy Chicken, Seafood, Teriyaki, and Pad Thai. With prices running between $5.50 and $7.50 (EUR, sorry I couldn't find the euro key). They even have Malaysian Boxes and Italian Boxes. Pretty good, pretty fast, I had the Seafood box btw which was good enough for me. Although my coworker said they added too much soy sauce to his. This is not my favorite place for noodles in my opinion, but also not the worst! They also claim Gluten Free Available, and that they use 100% Irish beef. Happy noodling!

This is one of the better takeways around Stoneybatter. Relatively cheap and their food is always…read moregreat. They have all the usual Chinese dishes you would expect with a few Malaysian dishes too. There is one dish on the "Chef's Specials" section of the menu. It is simply called "I like it crispy". It is one of the nicest dishes I have ever had from a takeaway. It is pork in a deliciously crispy, and slightly sweet batter. It's drizzled with a mildly spicy black bean sauce. If you like crispy things then you will love this. They also do a mighty fine Mapo Tofu too. Once or twice they have forgotten something or made a mistake with my order but after a call they quickly supply me with what's missing usually with a little extra treat by way of apology. The staff are all lovely and get anything sorted right away. Shangri-La is now my go to takeaway for when I want to gorge myself. Well worth a try.

When we moved into Smithfield, we looked around for a good Chinese take-away and we didn't expect…read moreto hit on a Malaysian Chinese restaurant that does take-away. My partner is a Chinese from Malaysia and for this, its always a real bonus. Wow, the food is always good - we are never disappointed with the food there. Even my partner is impressed with most dishes he got, especially the mee mamak which he really loves. Their chicken balls are GORGEOUS and my favourite side dish there is chilli & pepper squid (I would go to heaven just for them!) I usually order Chicken/Beef Nyonya from them - I always love it but the problem is it is never the same - sometimes its nicer, sometimes its not bad, sometimes, its SO GOOD - it depends on who the chef is. Delivery people are good - apart from this girl who won't give us change - for some reasons, she is unwilling to return even a small amount of change, assuming that we would automatically tip her! :o We will recommend SL to anyone in Dublin :-) even our friends from London were quite impressed.

I wasn't sure eating Thai was wise in Ireland, but we gave it a whirl. We split the veggie spring rolls, they were decent enough. My mom got Pad Thai, no spice. I got the massaman Curry, medium spice. Both our dishes were decent. It was just a nice change from the weighted down meals we had been eating on the daily since we landed here. It's not far from the temple bar, for an evening night cap and to take in some loud raucous fun for a night. Some beautifully facaded bars and buildings surrounding this Thai restaurant too.
