Hang Dai Chinese

So, tough review. I love this place but my experience recently left me disappointed and thirsty. We had pre-ordered the duck. Not crispy and too much inedible fat. We had a range of other dishes and all I could taste was salt. Everything was very salty overall. I’ll be back again to give it another go but I hope we have a better time.

The food was divine! We decided to go for a family sharing platter as we couldn't decide what to choose as they have a very diverse menu. It was worth it! The orange wine was delicious. I loved the design of the restaurant and the ambiance was modern and funky at the same time with an on-site DJ which matched the whole experience. I will go back very soon!

Excellent atmosphere. Decoration and lighting match the atmosphere Hang Dai is trying to set up. Would recommend their Yuza Lemonade. Started off with the sharing Osyters and unique cheese burger spring roll. Absolutely delicious dishes providing a unique take. A must have. Unfortunately their blue find tune was out of stock so went with the prawn wantons and Iberico pork char siu. The char siu was absolutely mouth watering, each bite was an explosion of flavour and moistness as it almost melted in my mouth. To accompany these two dishes we got the friend noodles. Very well made. I would recommend this restaurant if you are looking for an Asian fusion style restaurant. Best to take date. Looking at about 70-90 euros for a few starts and 2 mains.

This place is a must try if you are in Dublin. We asked the bartender at our hotel and he said this is the best Chinese restaurant in Dublin. He wasn’t wrong. We got a table by the bar and the waiter was so friendly. Got some great recommendations the only thing that wasn’t wow was the meat, it was a bit tough. The rest of the food was 5/5 so good. We tried dumplings, Shimps and some spring rolls. Great beer and the vibe was so nice.

I ordered the house fried rice and it was incredibly salty, we had to leave half of it. I ordered the Argentine shrimp and it was horribly spicy, where on the menu does it say it's spicy? The only good thing is that the waitress served us very well, congratulations to them. The food was disappointing.

Worked next door to this place for many years and yesterday for our anniversary me and my partner went into hang dai and honestly from the beginning the atmosphere was amazing, when we ordered the prawn crackers were a great starter to let us snack and let me tell you when my steak came it was the most juiciest steak i’ve ever had in a long time, my girlfriend got the argentinian prawns and she also loved it. please come here you will not be disappointed!!

Had an amazing experience here the other night !!! The food was super tasty and the atmosphere was buzzy. We loved the kung po chicken and the prawns !! The staff were very efficient and friendly , especially Fos !! Thank you so much we’ll definitely be back soon !!!

My friend and I walked about 3 miles to this place. The waiter did a great job explaining the menu then walked away. Upon his return we placed our order only to find that only 1 of our selections was available. We ordered 4 shareable dishes. They ran out of everything we wanted to order. Had they let us know this beforehand we would’ve went someone else. The 2 dishes we settled for was delicious. Also we sat by the bar and ordered 2 whiskey sours with Jameson. How is it possible for this restaurant to be in Dublin Ireland and not have Jameson available as an option lol! 🤦‍♀️

hang dai in dublin!! had high hopes for this chinese restaurant, but everything was really salty :( the duck was also a bit dry. flavors were good though and the ambience of the rooftop were really cute. was just expecting more from this place after hearing good things.

This menu was one of our favorite dinners in Dublin. Our server Gigi was a hoot - Absolutely loved her! She recommended the tasting menu, which was a lot of food but totally worth it. You can pre-order two special dishes (Peking Duck and wagyu beef) and I would love to try those next time. You can't order those unless you pre-ordered. We sat at the bar and the ambiance was really fun. Great cocktails as well.

When in Dublin, right? Wow, this place is simply amazing! For SF Bay Area peeps, use Mission Chinese as reference. This place is just simply top notch and a must top-to-bottom.

Really liked Hang Dai. Very cool, trendy (but not fake) feel but the food was actually good. The cheesesteak spring rolls and chicken wing starter were both excellent, very tasty with interesting flavors. Pre-ordered the duck and that was a good call. Came in three stages. First was duck broth, so much better than it sounds. Then was duck and veg in a cabbage bowl (there was a different option we didn't choose), also great. Finally roast duck breast with pancakes, very similar to Peking Duck you get in other places but still good. The only slight disappointment on the evening was KFC, a fried chicken dish. To me, tasted not that different than what you would get in a food court. Not bad but not as noteworthy as everything else. Definitely would recommend Hang Dai.

Street parking. What a unique one of a kind place with upstairs where restroom is. Feels like a disco subway train by a night street market. Glass windows allow you to see the Caucasian chefs cooking. I loved my tofu meat sauce mixed with rice, amazing! Hubs loved his dish too. Pricey, but worth it. I'd be a regular, if I was a local.

THIS FOOD WAS AMAZING. We had the steak, chicken, fried rice and green beans. All were great. Great trendy vibe and cocktails as well. Highly recommend!!

Loved it all! The menu was well explained, the food was delicious and different and the atmosphere was electric- on a Wednesday, in Nov!

I take it all back. We ordered Lockdown takeout this week and it was superb. I don't think my standards have fallen. I just think they've seriously upped their game. Only odd thing was they wanted payment in cash which, at the moment, is strange, so I had to detour to an ATM to source the by now unfamiliar banknotes. Thus armed, we ventured past the Garda checkpoint who waved us through obviously sensing the urgency of our mission. On the menu tonight were prawn crackers, prawn toast (delicious and very moreish), chicken (spicy and very good), crispy sea trout with fried rice (don't miss), 1/2 duck which was enormous and fantastic even though the kidult baulked at the sight of the cooked head. We also had green beans and noodles and they threw in a portion of sweet and sour pork which we hadn't ordered, or paid for, so bonus meal. I also felt it was very good value for money so there's that too. In fairness, as well as being plentiful, each dish was excellent in it's own way. Can't recommend highly enough. Support your local restaurants if you want them back when this is all over.

Such an awesome Chinese place!! A little out of the way of the main attractions for tourists like myself- but well worth it. Food is served family style. There are so many options, especially vegetarian! I went with a small group of friends and we loved everything we ate! We had pork dumplings which came with a delicious glaze; ribeye- perfectly cooked on a bed of wild rice; vegetables super noodles; and a tofu dish that I did not try but was told was really great! The winner of everything we ate, though, was the vegetable super fried rice. It was simply the best fried rice I've ever had. It was so well flavored and slightly creamy- to die for!! We had to order more- that's how much my group loved it! The decor is funky and fun- Blade Runner-esque. There is lots of neon and each booth is decorated as if you are sitting in a subway car. There is also a bar upstairs that we did not get to stop into. Fantastic place, and a definite stop you should make if you get the chance!

The food was just divine. We had the half duck and it was so tasty. The broth was yum, the legs were cooked to perfection and the duck pancakes were gorgeous! My only issue was that it took a while for us to order a drink - we decided we were going to have a cocktail before dinner, only problem was our broth came before our cocktails which wasn't great. Drink a warm broth at the same time as a cocktail is not something I would advise. Other than that it was absolutely great. The staff were very attentive and it was full which is great to see on a Wednesday night. I'll definitely be going back!!

So, this may have been the best Chinese meal I've ever had. It wasn't cheap but god, was it worth it. Myself and my partner went here before a late gig to have a nice date meal, booking for 8:30 (oh, and book, its new but very busy) and would have happily stayed on for cocktails but had to run at 11 for the show, and that's where Hang Dai shines, it is such an unhurried experience, we have been talking about returning in January and making it our full evening, which you can do. There is a dj from 11 and a great cocktail menu. And on to the food. We were seated promptly with water and prawn crackers while the charming waiter explained the food. Its all served family style, with dishes arriving as soon as they are ready and for sharing. They do a full or half duck, which is served as 3 different dishes and has limited availability if you don't pre order, luckily we were able to get a half duck and it was divine. It comes firstly as a cup of broth with pickled veg, then the leg is served, and finally the breast, with pancakes, a unusual but delicious plum sauce and the usual veg, completely melt in the mouth. We also got the special rice, the best prawn toast ever (really stuffed with the prawn and packing a bit of a kick) scallops and veg. Everything was just excellent and we finished off with a cocktail each, which were very much on the better end of the scale. All in for the meal, a bottle of red and 2 cocktails it came to €120 before tip, but was more than worth it.

Love @ first sight. Had a quick stir fry, dumplings and of course a glass of water melon cocktail delish..in any order. The decor is what I would call neon eclectic. Amazing staff.

I was so excited to finally try this place! We tried book a table for half 6 for the following day but the booking wasn't confirmed until 5pm that day so we already had a plan B in mind and really, we should have gone with plan B. We were seated at the bar in this neon haven and its buzzing vibe. So far so good. Our waitress served water and prawn crackers (something I dont care for so I didnt try them) and explained that the menu is 'family style' which means all mains are big portions for sharing and one main between two people and a starter is enough food. So we ordered prawn toast and the spicy ginger prawns as our main which we were warned is 'really really spicy'. The prawn toast was nice, spicy and flavoursome. The prawn main was... well, 4 in-shell prawns on a bed of celery. Bland, overcooked and how the hell are 4 prawns enough for two people as a main?? At 19Euro mind you. No side was served with that either. So we ordered another main which was the szechuan chicken which was half chicken, half chilis. Very spicy, very nice but also on the small side. So we ordered another main dish of fried rice which was ok but we finished the whole plate cause we were still hungry. Overall... I wouldn't go back. It's way to expensive for the portion sizes and the service was only okay. Shame really.
