BOX NOODLES

I consider it ironic that they have cafes, diners, restaurants and bars on a place called Cook Street.

For all that do not know Cook Street is situated in the heart of the City Centre of Cork which is of Saint Patrick Street.

Box Noodles is a New Asian street food place situated at the old Ambassador Chinese Restaurant.

When one enters this new establishment you will be greeted by nice kind friendly staff who point you a table and the hand you a menu.

They have this lunch special marked each day from 12noon to 4pm daily which is marked cheaper than on the menu which is E7.50 and on top of that you get an ice cream and a drink of your choice.

When i was last there I chose the Chicken katsu curry dish which is a Japanese dish and it happened to be on the menu special that day.

I am like most Irish people who is dubious about Asian food due to the mono sodium glutamate content in most Asian food places but it happens so they don't put it this place and you can really taste the difference and it is high quality food to say the least.

I am a big man and they bring down enough food to feed 3 people in my opinion and at the end of eating it i licked my lips and walked out of there feeling really good inside. you know you have eaten good stuff when your body tells you you feel good.

i always have green tea with the selection as i am not too fond of fizzy drinks at all and the nice kind lady will come around and give you a nice refill which is what i like about the place.
The ice cream is a very smart move especially if you have eaten spicy or chilly type food as the ice-cream helps relieve the burning sensation associated with chilly/ spicy type foods.

The Kastu Curry is not that strong i must say as it kind of reminds me of a light gravy type. It was superb and it reminded me very much if Irish stew and I wonder did the Japanese get the idea from the Irish. the only difference is that being rice instead of potatoes and curry instead of gravy and in Irish stew there is lamb and turnips and in this dish there is chicken and courgettes.

Even though they just started their business there a short while ago I can predict great things for this place in the immediate future should they serve food of that quality to gratifying customers.

In mister Crow's humble opinion it is his favourite place to eat in Cork City at the moment and the food in there is to die for.

Also the staff in there come around and politely ask is everything ok and they also offer you a place to hang your coat and place your umbrella. I know it is a small thing to consider but when one visits someones house the first thing they do is offer a place to hang your coat to me that is manners personified.

Ireland is starting to lack in the manners department in my opinion and it has become low quality BS in my opinion and we as a people need to learn this aspect of ourselves again 'yours truly ' included

The Crowometer score a perfect 10 for this place.
