Xian Street Food Temple Bar

Visited Xian Street Food in Dublin and had a really good experience! Tried the Spice Bag, Fried Rice, Noodles, and a few other dishes — everything was tasty, fresh, and came out nice and hot. The Spice Bag especially hit the spot — crispy chicken, plenty of flavour, and just the right amount of heat. What I really liked is that it’s a great value for money — generous portions, quick service, and plenty of tasty options that don’t break the bank. The place has a casual, relaxed vibe, perfect for a quick meal or a casual hangout with friends. Overall, a solid spot for good Chinese street food at budget-friendly prices. Definitely worth a visit if you’re around the city and craving something tasty and satisfying!

Very crowded but it makes sense as it was post Christmas and many other places closed early or weren't open in the later part of the evening. A lot of crowd so opted for takeaway although we initially planned to sit in. Ordered vegetarian mapo tofu and asked for extra spice, which they delivered superbly! Tasted very good too, with the requested amount of numbingness from the sichuan peppercorns. However, it was very oily,a lot more oilier than most mapo tofus I had and I had to drain out a good chunk of the oil. The box was packed to the brim (took the pic after I started eating) and the packaging is expertly sealed as there was no oil spillage when I was taking it home. Would gladly come back and try other dishes they have next time!

We tried the spicy vegetarian fried rice, spicy shrimp chilli, and the chicken spice bag, and every dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better. A fantastic spot for bold, delicious flavors; highly recommended, especially if you’re winding down from a night in the pubs and want a quick, satisfying bite.
