Housed in the basement of the Dublin Writers Museum, the room is minimal but elegant."

It’s very close to the centre, located on Great Strand Street, close to Liffey River and it’s a rave among the Asian community in Dublin (I initially heard about the place from my Taiwanese friends) so you know that the flavours are as authentic as possible. Apart from being heavenly delicious, the place is ridiculously cheap, I had a kimchi fried rice for just €6.50."

"Dublin 1It doesn’t look like much from the outside… just a run-of-the-mill Korean grocery store on a quiet side street.

It’s more of a canteen -- don’t dawdle when you’re ordering and grab the first seat you see."

"Although Greenhouse was considered to be the best in the city I hadn’t brought anything more than jeans and tights. Not wanting to feel dressed inadequately for fine dining I opted for his sandwich recommendation at Oxmantown. At Oxmantown I met Connor who leads a kitchen with incredibly hearty sandwiches that are ridiculously low priced for Dublin standards."
