Restaurant Review - China Tang
Wednesday 26 March 2025
While there has been devastation in the industry, with over 800 restaurants closing in 2024, it hasn’t deterred new places from opening. In my neck of the woods, on the Crescent in Monkstown, Victoria Asian Cuisine closed last year, as did Press Up’s Elephant & Castle. Empty premises can really drag an area down, so it was welcome news that two new restaurants were replacing them — China Tang in what was Victoria Asian Cuisine and a branch of the seemingly ever sprouting Sprout & Co in E&C.
China Tang is the latest venture by Ryon Wen and Ian Keegan, who’ve blazed their way around Dublin with spots like Little Dumpling in Smithfield, Hakkahan in Stoneybatter, and Nan on Stephen’s Street, serving great casual Asian food. Now though, the dynamic duo have moved into the seriously sexy world of Chinese haute cuisine.
