Best Asian Restaurants in Merrion Square

Beautiful - elegant without being fussy. The food is elevated while still being excellent value. And the room is enchanting. Couldn't recommend more.

Myself and my partner have been so excited to come here. We have been waiting for a good Filipino-style restaurant to come to Dublin. The decor is calm and cozy and the walls are covered with gorgeous artwork. We were served by Alex, who was very friendly and made us feel super welcome. We ordered the cherrywood smoked pork ribs, scallops, dynamite lumpia and masala fries. Everything was delicious, we left nothing on our plates. We also tried a few of their unique cocktails: Ube Colada, Mango Masala, Pandan Gin Fizz and Tamarind Sour! The Ube Colada was nice, I personally think it could do with a little more ube flavouring and coconut cream but the other three were flawless! We are already planning our next visit!

Their menu is a funny kind of pan Asian mix and the interior is very quirky inner-city boho etx, very cool! We had for starters, all executed well, and shared the duck main which tasted well but wasn't super amazing. The dessert churros were exceptional!!

If you’re looking for a dining experience that truly stands out, look no further than Mama Yo Chinese Restaurant. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service that immediately makes you feel at home. The staff are not only friendly but also highly attentive, ensuring every aspect of your meal is perfect. The atmosphere is nothing short of outstanding. The interior design is beautifully curated, blending traditional Chinese elements with modern elegance, creating a space that’s both inviting and visually stunning. Whether you’re dining with family, friends, or a special someone, the ambiance at Mama Yo is ideal for any occasion. But the true star of the show is, of course, the food. The menu is a masterpiece, offering a variety of exquisite dishes that are bursting with flavor and prepared with the finest ingredients. While everything we tried was fantastic, the Lemon Chicken deserves a special mention. Perfectly cooked and coated in a tangy, sweet glaze, it was hands down the best dish of the evening. Mama Yo Chinese Restaurant is the perfect blend of excellent service, exquisite cuisine, and an outstanding atmosphere. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience you won’t soon forget. Highly recommended!

I was very impressed with The Leinster overall. It is a very impressive building. The bar on the ground floor has beautiful decor. The service was excellent. I had a very tasty and enjoyable cocktail called Peach. It was fabulous. I will definitely be back for it again. We went to the 5 th floor then to the restaurant. It was a great experience from start to finish. Eric was the gentleman who greeted us on arrival. He was very friendly from the moment he engaged with us. He sat us to our table. The wine was outstanding. The menu was lovely. So much to pick from. Eric went through each dish in detail with us. He gave us so much time. He was very helpful. We had the Parmesan chicken. Fab dish. Mushroom starter was so tasty. Amazing. It was truly a lovely evening from start to finish. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thanks Denise.
