Amazing experience at Hang Dai! The interior is very cool. My group was served by Andy and Jason, service could not have been any better. The tasting menu was delectable! The food was extremely tasty with amazing spices and sauces. I would love to come back and try more of their creative cocktails!!
Our experience at Hang Dai was far better than expected. We tried the set menu, which included starters, a main course, and dessert. It was one of the recommendations we received, and everything tasted amazing. The dishes were full of flavor, and the level of spiciness was incredible. Special mention goes to the dumplings and prawns, which were outstanding. Huge thanks to Gustavo and Amy for their amazing service and hospitality! ❤️✨
From beginning to end this was such an amazing experience. I showed up an hour before close and they were able to seat me at the bar. They offer a complimentary coat check service, making this feel like you have stepped into someones home for a really good time, and to stay a while. Typically bar seating isn't my fav but this was the comfiest bar seating with adequate foot rests, so you could really relax into your seat and enjoy taking your time. I forgot I was on a bar stool! I was served by Hannah who was extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations from the menu. She was also very on it with her service and attention to details. The place was BUSY and I noticed how everyone got similar service and were cared for well. Shrimp crackers were brought to the table, they were so crispy and fresh! I ordered the seared tuna starter which was an experience of flavours and textures that were so carefully thought out. Each ingredient brought out the flavour of the next. I combined this with the crackers for an extra crunch, and to soak up the delicious salsa in the dish. I ordered the mapo tofu main with egg fried rice. This was by far the best mapo tofu I have had on the planet. The flavours lingered with each bite, and I felt like I could eat that rice forever! The combination of just enough kick from the heat and sweetness from the beans, allowed the tofu to come along for the ride combined with the rice. The ingredients are locally sourced and you can tell the menu was carefully curated with every detail! If you like a dirty martini, the Filthy Gorgeous was PERFECT. I unfortunately didn't catch the bartenders name but he was amazing! They ran out of lychee for my next drink which would have been the Electric Barbarella, so instead I asked if he would be open to creating a drink for me with similar ingredients replacing the lychee with something else. He asked me my flavour profiles and we went with a bitter, slightly sweet, citrus-y twist to this cocktail. It was so good! The ambiance was definitely up my alley with great music and the dim, red lighting. I could see how the dim and red lighting could be off-putting to others. It allowed for an atmosphere to just take in the experience with little room for taking pictures of your food, since the lighting wasn't going to be the greatest for pictures of your dishes - everything would just be red. I was the last one out of the restaurant and I didn't feel rushed at all. They told me to take my time, the chefs and staff were doing their thing, as I enjoyed the last bites of my meal. I heavily recommend this if you enjoy Chinese food with a creative twist, great cocktails, and great service with a fun atmosphere.
While the atmosphere was great and the food we did have was nice, unfortunately there were very limited options for those with certain allergies. I have a shellfish allergy and there was only two items from the main course I could have because the kitchen couldn’t accommodate cooking in a different wok, this was not communicated on their website or menu beforehand. The cocktail I had was very nice and the waitress was helpful in trying to find something for me to eat.
Delicious delicious food! Lovely cocktails! This place never disappoints and has been around in Dublin for quite a while now. I have tried a few different items and everything tastes amazing !
