We called in to the Ambassador to celebrate Chinese New Year. It was,as usual, a fantastic experience. Food and service was excellent. Norman,the celebrity waiter, was in top form. Everyone dining that night seemed to be having a great time. The restaurant was really busy but the whole place ran like clockwork. The crispy pork knuckle was MEMORABLE. More

If you're looking for a Chinese experience in Cork I'd recommend the Ambassador. Unlike other Chinese restaurants in the city, the restaurant itself is spotless, the service fantastic and the food is cooked well without the greasiness you find at other restaurants. Upon arrival we were greeted like welcome guests rather than paying customers- our coats taken, we were shown... More

I recently went for dinner at the Ambassador restaurant in Cork. This was not my first visit but I must admit I had not been there for a while. The Head Waiter I believe his name is "Norman" was so professional and friendly he really made it a great experience. He went out of his way to suggest various dishes... More

Their Tea at the Ambassador menu is excellent value, it's at the back of the main menu so seek it out. Servings are a good size, and food is so tasty! More

Plenty of food for what you pay... you will definitely not leave the place hungry, service is nice as well and the restaurant is all well set up making it an interesting experience, although you might find it a little bit pricey for a Chinese but it is lovely like! More

Like the previous reviewer my experience of Chinese food in Ireland isn't great so I have never been a big fan of it. So when I asked my boyfriend where he wanted to go for a treat he suggested here. A very atmospheric restaurant, not what I was expecting. Linen table cloths and napkins, polite and courteous and very attentive... More
