Restaurant Review - China Town
Thursday 12 November 2026
“Soft shell crab with crispy garlic!” I yelped, as I spotted this seldom-seen delicacy featuring crabs that are practically naked having recently molted their old exoskeleton. Generally eaten whole, either deep fried or sauteed, I first encountered soft shell crab in Amsterdam, subsequently in the legendary Mr. Chow’s in Knightsbridge, and then here in Ireland at the superb China Sichuan in Sandyford.
