Restaurant review: 'Grilled Irish king scallops are small and anaemic, flaccid and with no colouring or caramelisation to suggest they have been in contact with a grill'

"Our critic find this Dublin 4 Chinese pricey and 'charmless', and the service leaves a sour taste"

"Saturday evening, earlier this month. Leinster have just played at home and won, a happy confluence of circumstances which guarantees a good night's takings for the pubs and restaurants of Upper Baggot Street. As cheery match-goers wend their way back up Pembroke Road towards town from the Aviva, their most pressing concern is whether to slake their thirst or satisfy their hunger first."

A Dublin 4 Chinese restaurant is described as pricey and charmless, with service that leaves a sour taste. The restaurant sits on Upper Baggot Street near Pembroke Road and benefits from strong match-night trade after Leinster wins. Saturday evenings bring cheery match-goers returning from the Aviva who face immediate choices between drinking or eating. The location and event-driven footfall typically guarantee good takings for nearby pubs and restaurants. Despite the advantageous timing and trade, the dining experience is undermined by high prices, lack of atmosphere and unsatisfactory service.
