Been here more times than I can count, honestly. Chicken dishes are always spot on&mdash;tender, juicy, never dry. Quality&#39;s stayed consistent which is rare for a place this busy. Service is fine too, nothing fancy but they get it done. Not the cheapest spot but you get what you pay for.

Decent spot for a quick bite. Staff were sound even though it was packed, queue moved fast and they didn&#39;t mess up the order. Got the burger, it was fine. Nothing fancy but you know what you&#39;re getting. Probably won&#39;t go out of my way for it, but if you&#39;re in the area it does the job.

The bartenders really knew their Irish whiskey and took time to figure out what I&#39;d like. Nice spot for a quiet pint, though the seating near the window is a bit cramped.

Had the halloumi sandwich &mdash; crispy cheese, fresh stuff in it. Pretty good overall. Place has a nice relaxed vibe, staff were sound. Maybe a bit slow getting the bill, but no big deal. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Popped in for a quick bite last week. Ramen was decent, broth had good flavour. Noodles were a bit softer than I&#39;d normally get, took me a minute to get used to. Place itself is comfortable enough, nothing fancy. Fair price for what you get, I&#39;d say. Might come back if I&#39;m in the area and craving a bowl.

The pho here is proper&mdash;rich broth, decent amount of beef. Veggie spring rolls were a solid shout too. Service was quick enough, though it does get a bit tight downstairs when it&#39;s busy.

Came in for a late breakfast on Sunday and got seated right away, which surprised me. Food was lovely, service quick, but it was loud enough that I put my headphones on just to enjoy my coffee in peace.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the salmon sashimi and a dragon roll. Fish tasted properly fresh, not the usual sad lunchtime stuff. Staff left me alone but checked in when needed. Place is decent if you&#39;re nearby and want something quick.

Solid spot for a drink at the bar. Burger&rsquo;s up there with the best in town, and the club sandwich is properly done&mdash;hard to find that these days. Just give yourself time to flag someone down for service.

Dariusz and Maria are the real deal&mdash;proper friendly, made me feel right at home. Coffee was decent too, but the service is what I&rsquo;d come back for.

Stopped in for drinks&mdash;the strawberry mint mojito was proper refreshing. Nice touch having mocktails on the menu too, not just an afterthought. Saw a drink tower go by, looked class for a group. Bar was a bit quiet for a Friday but that suited me fine. Wouldn&#39;t mind trying the food next time.

Stumbled in here on a cold afternoon and honestly didn&rsquo;t want to leave. The window seat was perfect for people-watching while I had a pot of tea and a slice of lemon cake. Place is small but really well lit, not one of those dark cramped spots. Only thing is it got a bit busy around 3pm, but still worth grabbing a seat if you can.

Clean spot, staff were friendly enough. The food&rsquo;s properly seasoned for Korean palates. Wanted a beer to go with it but they were out of my usual. Rice costs extra, just so you know.

Stopped in for a late lunch and grabbed a seat by the window. The place is bright, plenty of room between tables. Had the grilled fish&mdash;cooked properly, flaky, no complaints. Staff were friendly without hovering. Pairing it with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc worked well, though the glass was a bit small for the price. Solid enough if you&#39;re in the area and want a relaxed bite.

Tiny little place, barely any seats, but grand for grabbing something quick. Got the chicken wrap, fresh enough and the sauce was decent. Packaged well, no mess on the go. Not somewhere you&#39;d sit down for a long chat, but does the job.

Stopped in for lunch and grabbed a burrito with a drink for &euro;11.50. Portion was big enough that I couldn&#39;t finish it. Filling options are plenty, and the hot sauce on the table gives it a proper kick. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want to spend a fortune.

The staff were friendly enough and let me try a few samples before deciding. Dark chocolate gelato was the standout though. Pretty good spot if you&#39;re nearby.

Good spot for a quiet catch-up. Plenty of tea options and board games, decent prices. Service was friendly enough. Bit slow when it got busy, but no major complaints.

Solid flat white and the queue moved fast, even at rush hour. Didn&#39;t expect that from a station coffee spot.

The mapo tofu here actually tastes like the real deal, not the watered-down version you get in most places. I sat near the window and the light was nice, made the whole room feel a bit warmer. Double cooked pork belly was decent too, though the seating could be a bit more comfortable. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back for a quick lunch.

The early bird menu is decent value&mdash;three courses for what you&rsquo;d normally pay for a main elsewhere. I went for the fish, which was cooked well, and the warm sticky toffee pudding hit the spot. Pairing it with a glass of dessert wine worked nicely. Service was a bit slow, but the place was packed. Fine for a midweek bite.

Decent spot for Chinese food when you&#39;re sick of pub grub. Wonton soup was good but the portions are a bit small for the price.

The carrot cake really stood out &mdash; fresh and not overly sweet. Brownie was good too. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality matches. Courtyard seating is nice, though the garden chairs could use more cushioning.

Booked for a group of eight and they handled it well. Staff were sound, kept checking in and the food didn&#39;t take forever to come out. Had the chicken burger, it was decent. Place got a bit loud later on but that&#39;s on us for picking a busy Friday. Fine for a casual shout.

Came in with a wheelchair, staff moved tables around without me even asking. That was decent. Pancakes were good, fluffy enough. Got a second plate, no regrets. Place isn&#39;t big but they made it work. Fine for a casual breakfast stop.

The lamb stew was the real deal. Tender, rich, proper Irish flavours. I&#39;d go back just for that alone. The waiter knew the menu inside out, helped my mate with her allergies and got the kitchen to sort her something safe. That was decent. Didn&#39;t pay much attention to the room or anything else. The food did the talking.
