Had a fantastic evening at Royal Garden.

The restaurant is beautifully designed with elegant decor that really sets the tone the sophisticated interior, thoughtful styling, and atmospheric touches create an inviting atmosphere. But what impressed me most was how seamlessly the elegant setting paired with genuinely friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome throughout.

The food itself is excellent. I'm familiar with quality Japanese and Chinese dining in Dublin, and honestly, Royal Garden holds its own against the best competition out there the flavours, presentation, and care put into each dish are top-notch.

What really stood out was how everything came together: the pretty surroundings, the warmth of the team, and genuinely high-quality Cantonese cooking. It's the kind of place where you can tell they care about both the experience and the food.

The staff are super friendly and professional, great evening, great food.

Highly recommend!!!!

Nice Chinese
Very friendly, obliging staff who accommodated us despite having no prior booking. The food was nice with an extensive selection on the menu, not just Chinese but, for example, Thai and Japanese food was available too. Spicy foods are marked clearly.
