We were going to place an order for delivery as we were staying in the owners air BNB attached to their house. He advertised his business in the bnb. Owners were unapologetic about the filthy conditions of the house and we had no choice but to leave early due to multiple health hazards in their property. I ordered from A1 instead and it was no exaggeration to say it was one of the best or the best satays I've ever had in Ireland. I wouldn't want to see what the state of their kitchen is in the restaurant they own considering their unit was a mess and even though it was paid for 8 months ago that place had dust everywhere that had been there for years, mold and grime everywhere. Their attitude with us showed their poor customer service as well. Why would you want to order from nasty people who aren't clean even in their own home when there are two other Chinese restaurants steps away with from the looks of the other reviews cheaper and better food. We are all sick and have rashes after staying in their bnb and I wouldn't chance eating anything they'd make.
