See 2009 Cork review at http://corkfood.blogspot.com/…read more YING'S PALACE Made an overdue visit to Ying's Palace Chinese Restaurant last night and found it even better value than previously and that without any drop at all in quality. I usually go for one of the set meals. They have one at less than 16 euro and three between twenty and twenty three euro. We (these set meals are for two minimum) started with the prawn crackers and then had the soup, followed by shredded duck with little pancakes, salad and sauce. Main course consisted of two sizzling dishes: beef on one, king prawns on the other, both gorgeous. With these menus, you get a free glass of wine each and house wines start at €4.90 a glass. Coffee was included in the price and they also surprised us with some beautifully cut fresh fruit as a dessert (not on the menu). And another surprise on the way out when we presented with a Chinese calendar on a scroll. Nice restaurant and nice people. The takeaway does very well indeed but is a shame that more don't take advantage of this excellent restaurant where the prices are very reasonable indeed.

My wife and I are very picky about Chinese food, as we both grew up in family owned Chinese restaurants. We were very pleasantly surprised! We ordered hot and sour soup, Chinese broccoli with beef and a mixed seafood clay pot. The food was quite good and seasoned just right. Hot and sour soup had just the right "kick" to it! Service was excellent!!!

The early bird costs Euro 15,00, with a starter, main dish and dessert, friendly and fast staff inclusive. The location is clean and the view from the first floor onto the busy streets of Cork is nice as well. You can even book space for birthdays, the staff will decorate the place accordingly. Please ask for take-away of the left overs, since you don't want to waste that good food.

We were searching for some food in Cork, and came across Malay Kitchen. I wasn't super excited…read moreabout the prospect, but Mom was interested, so I went with it. They have reasonably priced food at €8-9. Bonus that it's MSG-free. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, which was a HUGE portion! It was very saucy which I like, but the flavor was just okay. The noodles were a bit overcooked in my opinion. The counters were quite sticky and needed to be wiped down. There were also discarded dishes from previous patrons that hadn't been cleared. We were the only customers when we arrived and for the ~35 minutes we were there, so it wasn't like they were busy. Aside from the counter area, there is another adjacent room with a couch and table seating. That was cute! Overall, the cost and portion sizes were good, but it was just okay in terms of flavor. Cleanliness definitely needs to be improved.

It has the same delicious food and great service that the Ambassador was famous for! Huge menu, and everything is freshly prepared, with the best of ingredients. We had the House selection to start with, a wonderful selection of starters, spring rolls, ribs, satay chicken, prawn bread, prawns in a crispy batter, we finished the lot! Almost forgot to mention the fresh, fresh prawn crackers you munch on while waiting for your food, simply the best! For the main I had the duck with plum sauce and boiled rice. Incredible flavour, so crispy yet moist, and the sauce heavenly! One of my companions had the monkfish, I sneaked a piece, gorgeous! Smashing deserts! I often find the deserts in Chinese restaurants a bit bland, but these people have learned what Irish people like, double chocolate pudding, apple pie, Baileys cheese cake to mention a few! For those of us who miss the Ambassador, this is the Ambassador just a few miles outside of Cork City, it does not have the cloth table covers and cloth napkins, just the same great food and service.

We felt very welcome because Darek was our server. He was so very nice and personable. We took takeaway to our room another night....brisket sandwich with rocket salad and the ham sandwich special that included chips and rocket salad both delicious (they do offer 24 hour room service). I felt the price for the 2 sandwiches was reasonably priced for a hotel. The service here again was excellent. Very nice and polite people work here!

Went there this evening after the Good Wine Show upstairs and, armed with a 20 per cent discount voucher from the show, took a table and thoroughly enjoyed the Asian inspired meal. Started with a house platter: spring rolls, skewered prawns, salad, skewered chicken and so on plus two dips. Delicious. Followed that up with a smashing Beef Teriyaki (€14.00). Had tasted some good wines at the show but the Australian Four Sisters Shiraz (€6.75 a glass)in the bar was as good as any in the show. I was served by a mixture of nationalities but all were friendly and efficient and indeed informative. Will call again

However, as people from the east coast of the USA, we found the food to be very good, the service just as nice and the ambiance was a cool little place. My son (15) had lasagna, the bride had a tart with feta cheese, pesto and sub dried tomatoes. I had the chicken breast stuffed with garlic & cream cheese. All the dishes were very good, I think the garlic might sneak up on me tonight! Overall, a very good meal and a nice evening. Would go again
