  I have always loved the food here and considered this the best Chinese restaurant in Athlone since it opened. However in the last 6months the food has been apalling. I thought the first time it was a once off, second time I still gave benefit of the doubt, third, 4th,and so on until I decided to ring and explained. They didn't really bat an eyelid and I am not one for complaining and I do not like giving negative reviews but I would not go back after all these years. I ordered 4 items to share. The gyōza dumplings were rock hard and had been deep fried to a cinder, so the contents were like cardboard and broke, the outer dumpling was like a fortune cookie consistency and blackish/brown.The salt and chilli prawns were so salty they couldn't be eaten and lukewarm, the salad with them had brownish black lettuce with a slightly offensive smell. The chicken and sweetcorn soup was extremely sweet so much it was disposed off along with the dumplings. I rang and asked if the chef was new, or cooking methods have changed, recipes change etc no everything I was told was the same. It took me 6months of ordering food that was not edible to leave,I didn't want to leave because previously food was excellent!I would also say if someone genuine rings with a genuine complaint customer service needs to drastically improve. Also as far as I am aware Gyōza dumplings should never be deep fried only steamed or pan fried? I was told they were deep fried to speed up time, but you should not deep fried Gyōza. Pity but I won't be returning.

  The spice box was awful. Way too salty
