3.5 Kites 3.5 star review:
The staff were very efficient and helpful. It was busy as it was 1pm but everything was served quickly. The food was tasty and fresh. There was only one vegetarian option, but I asked for tofu to be added to the veg chow mein and they were happy to oblige which was excellent. All in all a decent meal and I would go here again. The price on the A La Carte menu was a bit on the higher end though so I'm not sure if I would go in the evening.

This old family favourite was revisited years later. It makes you realise the difference between chinese takeout and real Chinese food. The sauces were lovely, the ingredients fresh. It's not cheap by any means but it is quality

Went here on a Friday evening before a Rugby match. We were seated downstairs and have to say it was a little unpleasant and depressing place even with most of the tables full. Staff were professional and friendly. We shared the spring rolls which were probably the worst I've had in a Chinese restaurant, like they had been cooked twice and too long making the pastry too hard and at €7 way to expensive. For mains I had the Chicken in Chilli and garlic sauce (€19) which was grand, nothing special. My friend had the fillet of beef with scallions (€22) which she loved. Adding €7.60 to the bill for fried rice I felt was far too much on top of the high prices charged for the mains. Along with a €25 euro bottle of wine which really should not be more than €18 because it was plonk made an unjust expense for the experience. I won't be going back at these prices.

Went here with 9 work collegues for the new lunch special, and I have to say, we all loved the food. Excellent value, and really high quality food. Very tasty! Going back again tomorrow. It may become the new Friday lunch spot!

This is the place to go for a special night out. It's not cheap, but then you have to pay more for a bit of finesse. The quality of the food is high and the staff are excellent. Great wine list.

Visited midweek with a couple of friends. It was busy but practically deathly silent. The room is very oddly shaped and you definitely feel like you're in a basement. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was of a good standard but nothing special. Over all felt like it was poor value for what we got.

Went on a Friday night for a family birthday. It wasn't too busy, food was nice and tasty. Service was very good. The water they serve is pretty mank, you get a real taste of tap water off it.
Other than that, it was a lovely meal and would go back again.

Lovely chinese last night. Started off with salt and chilli prawns to start - a small enough portion, but which were very tasty! For my main I had the house special curry with fried rice & it was very good too - nice and hot & plenty of beef, chicken, duck, pork and prawns! Along with a few glasses of a nice crisp white wine, it made for a lovely meal.
