    Loved this restaurant, a lucky find. Such a variety of dishes and each 1 was excellent. For me the main courses were outstanding , the best Chinese dishes I’ve ever had, can’t wait to go back and u have to have the cheesecake , it was so light and the perfect end to the meal. I loved that the restaurant wasn’t too big but the tables were nicely spread out. Staff were so nice and ran everything perfectly. We found it reasonably priced and were able to enjoy a 3 course meal each with drinks. If you are looking for somewhere to eat in that area you have to try Nan, you won’t regret it.

    Was looking forward to trying this place out. Outside of the wine and prawn and pork dumplings which were lovely, the food was just not good and incredibly disappointing. I left having eaten next to nothing and €110 down. One starter came out on its own. Then 1 main courses arrived well before side and other main course. King pao chicken was terrible and the fillet beef was at best very ordinary. Overall would not rate it at all. The staff however are very nice

    I booked this restaurant very last minute for my birthday dinner with a party of 10 and I was so happy. The overall experience for me was a 10, the staff were so kind and attentive, the food was so yummy and delicious and the price is relatively cheaper than most restaurants.

    The staff were pleasant, but the service was disappointing. We had to ask for our drinks twice, and they only arrived after our meals had been served. When we inquired about them, we were given another menu and had to clarify that we had already ordered. Additionally, one of our starters didn’t arrive until after we had finished our main course. Unfortunately, these issues made for a frustrating experience overall.

    The food was very good but the service was poor. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived but then emptied out a lot and the service still remained less than average. Ordered items were forgotten and items that were never ordered were delivered to the table. The waiting staff were extremely inattentive.

    Although the staff were nice, the place seemed understaffed. They should also look into the ventilation of the place. A few diners complained about the cold air coming in from the outside thru the window/opening above the main door.
