RongCheng Chinese Restaurant

Excellent service, very nice decor, incredible and great value food. We had 2 dimsum, mix meat dumpling & honey bbq pork bun, both fantastic. For mains we got the spicy sea bass and chonqing chicken, fish had truly delicious sauce, and chicken was lovely and fragrant from sichuan chillies. Whole meal was only 57, so full could barely walk out the door. Service was very friendly.

Been there many times since it opens! As a Chinese I can say this restaurant serves authentic Chinese foods especially the seafood dishes and dim sum. They are the best I have tried in Dublin. Didn’t like the bills sitting at the table from the beginning either- it is a very Cantonese thing to do, but haven’t seen it overseas for many years. Waiters are a bit slow. Anyway, good to have a Chinese restaurant nearby. Highly recommend it!

I came to Dublin from France for a conference, and this restaurant is right next to my hotel. I’ve gone two days in a row. On the first day I ordered Cantonese congee, xiaolongbao, and steamed spare ribs. On the second day I had Mao Xue Wang and took half a roast duck to go. Both the Sichuan and Cantonese dishes were excellent. The roast duck was especially good: crispy skin, tender meat, and beautifully handled so it was aromatic with no gaminess. The staff at Rongcheng are very nice. the waitress who served me was particularly kind. It’s a pity I’m only here for a three day conference; I hope I can come back next time.

The food was good but the service and atmosphere needs improving. The music would come and go throughout the night which was weird. The servers English wasn’t great which is ok but I found it awkward thar every time I ordered something new she brought over a new printed bill. It made it feel more like a fast casual restaurant than a formal setting. We did really enjoy the savoury food but sadly the dessert was a massive let down. Tasted very artificial and store bought. Would return for the mains, definitely would not have dessert again …I really hope since it’s a new restaurant that management are reading reviews and taking them on board

Got the beef soup and frankly the flavor reminded me of the Nissan beef instant noodle pack, and the actual noodles were of the same type of instant noodles too. Friend got the other soup one and same sort of thing (instant noodle style noodles, but with meat and toppings of course). Atmosphere is nice though and there were a fair amount of Chinese in there so I assume some of the other dishes must be pretty authentic/tasty. Prices are pretty decent as well (typically around 10-15e, menu included in the pics) so maybe the one I got just wasn't the best dish. The rice dishes I saw did look nice. To note they also have a separate sweet/savoury dessert and snack menu that I didn't get a good look at. I think you have to request it.

First and last dining here - staff was kind, food was okay-ish. There should be no way this chicken and rice plate took 25 minutes to make (which is precious time for people on their lunch breaks)

The restaurant is roomy. Staff are more attentive than when first opened. The menu is quite limited. I've been a couple of occasions. The first time I had a prawn dish. There were sufficient prawns but the sauce was shocking and took away from the overall experience. Second time I had the duck with plum sauce. Horrible stuff. Slices of tasteless fried duck. All I tasted was crunchy grease. The plum sauce was a sweet chilli sauce. I was the worst ever meal. I won't be back.

Much worse than the one in Blackrock. Food was very average, have had better chinese takeaways. First time ever seeing aromatic duck starter and roast cantonese duck being identical (supposed to be completely different cooking methods?) also first time seeing duck deep fried, so a greasy crispy exterior with completely unrendered fat beneath. Fried chicken and steamed pork dumplings were also terrible. The service was appalling, food was thrown on our table, struggled to get more water or order more drinks. Won’t be going back..
