📍 Opium, Dublin Date Night 💕 What I ordered 📝: Pok Pok Chicken Wings 🍗(€8) Sweet Potato Fries 🍟(€4.50) Green Curry w/ Chicken & Fried Rice 🍚(€14.50) Tropical Tuk Tuk🍹(€12) Dark Chocolate Brownie 🍰(€8) I've been waiting to go to Opium for the longest time and it did not disappoint! 🤩 So we sat up at the Botanical Garden which was beautiful. 😍 We went for the Pok Pok Chicken Wings and Sweet Potato Fries as our starters. Delicious. 🤌🏾🤌🏾The fries came with a Red Curry Aioli side dip which worked great with them (and the chicken wings too lol). The chicken wings were great too! They were filled with a lot of flavour and served with a ranch dip. Although it went well with the ranch dip, we both preferred the curry dip with the wings. The green curry is already spicy 🌶 having 3 chilies next to it on the menu, but when the server asked if I would like it even spicer I said why not and absolutely regret nothing. 😌The curry was packed with flavour too and perfectly spiced. 👌🏾The only small downfall was I almost forgot I was eating a chicken curry and not a vegetable curry. There were about 3 tiny little pieces of chicken in there. So my little advice for Opium would be to add a bit more chicken please 🥺🥲 The Tropical Tuk Tuk y'allll! And I know you're eyeing that lovely tropical-looking drink in the tall glass but nope that isn't it. The clear one in that little cup was a delightful surprise. 🤩I think I may have visibly frowned when the server brought over this drink because she had to quickly explain that despite the appearance it was really nice and she was right! If you're into coconut & tropical flavoured drinks, this is for you! 😉Nothing about this was overpowering and the flavours complemented each other perfectly. 🙌🏾 The chocolate brownie was nice too. I do enjoy nuts in my food but for this brownie, it just wasn't doing anything for either of us. But we simply pushed them to the side and continued enjoying our dessert. 😌😌 Would I return? Yes, Yes and Yes. Once again it was a beautiful restaurant, the food was really good and our server was amazing! 💯⭐️ 💫 Fun Fact: I already recommended this place to one of my friends, and he and his date enjoyed it too so that’s some further feedback for y’all 😉

I and my bf visited this place on valentines day. We thought of having starters and drinks. But they demanded us to take the Valentines day menu i.e. a three-course meal and free cocktail. This is the only thing, we do not like about this restaurant. Apart from this, we enjoyed the food and cocktail drinks. Starters were appealing. we ordered Pad Thai noodles and Lemongrass chicken and both are scrumptious. We had Full moon sour, Mango Bang bang, The butterfly effect and Plumdog millionaire and highly recommend these cocktails. Double chocolate brownie is to die to have again. You will not be disappointed.

Went here after almost 2 years for a Friday lunch and had a delightful experience. The Manager welcomed us zealously. This place has a nice cozy ambience. Overall service was fantastic, attended by different staffs and all of them were very friendly. The food was delicious, sufficient portion quantity and fairly priced. Non-alcoholic cocktails were nice. Added to my revisit list.

Lovely food. Great service. It was early in the evening so not much atmosphere but you don't expect that at 5.30pm. The Negroni was very good, and they dealt with my wife's food allergies really well.

Food was lovely, however felt a bit like herded cattle with the seating arrangements. Restaurant was far from full, yet sat us beaide another couple, less than 2 feet away. Felt like we were sitting with them for their dinner, yet easily another 6-7 tables free around. Food was very nice. Cocktails were lovely. Very very expensive though. 2 x 3 course and 2 cocktails came to nearly €160

The food it's a little bit pricey but the place definitely worth it. The drinks are delicious and the food portions are great. I highly recommend the brownie if you getting dessert and the margarita. The place is quiet, inside can be quite romantic and the garden area is very bright

Enjoyed our lunch at Opium. Great spot in town! We booked through Opentable. Food and cocktails were lovely. We had the Salmon and Chicken Buddha Bowls and they were tasty! Staff were also great and constantly checking if you need anything. Just didn’t appreciate how they were already asking if they can take our plates away when we haven’t finished our meal yet but other than that, everything was perfect!

Absolutely delicious food, coming from someone who is very particular. Best monkfish dish and brownie dessert I've had in years! Great service, reasonable prices and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Delicious Thai food and cocktails, great service and lovely atmosphere! Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially during weekends, but it’s worth it.

What a wonderful experience this was. From the staff to the food and drinks, everything was perfect. When for the Christmas menu and was not disappointed. Sat on the garden which was very nice and not as loud as the dinning room itself, so was able to keep a good conversation all throughout the dinner. The Pad Thai was on point and the starters were delicious! The staff was extremely helpful and always there. Definitely a "will be again soon" situation.

Opium is such a wonderful place. There is a waitress there who really is superb. I think her name is Ida? She has been there a long time and seems to really work hard and still able to put a smile on her face. We just love the ambience. There was a few people who called in sick but the host and bar staff and the waitress WORKED EFFORTLESSLY as a team. Definitely hands down consistently great food, presentation, cocktails and experience. A MUST GO - #mylocal

Opium doesn't disappoint for someone looking for a no-fuss dining experience. The portion sizes were sufficient, tasted lovely and we really appreciated the variety in the menu offered. Service was great and we were lucky to have an almost empty place all to ourselves on a weekday lunch. Would definitely go back!

We dined at the al fresco section and let me tell you, the ambiance is really nice. Clean place and not cramped at all! Waiting crew were so friendly and the service was impeccable. Food was good but the cocktails were great!!

I loved the food and ambiance, it’s a great place to have dinner with your friends💯 You should definitely try the Dynamite Prawns, I recommend that 💯💯💯 I am not giving it a 5 star as I am leaving that for the food that will make me shed tears of joy 🤣🤣 It’s a great place, you should definitely visit.

Service was good and quick. Food was ok, I’ve lived in Thailand so my standard for Thai food is high. Curry was very creamy and they forgot the chicken in mine so I had a vegetable curry which was very disappointing. However the dessert (banoffee bomb) was incredible! And the cocktails and botanical garden setting was beautiful!

We had been to their restaurant and the food was really good. Tried their Lemongrass chicken and I have to say, was one of the best ones I've ever had. If you're looking for large portions then wouldn't recommend but if you're looking for quality then definitely, why not. The staff were really good as well.

Its a nice atmosphere and we enjoyed the dynamite shrimps. However, the experience was not as expected from a respected restaurant like opium. My friend ordered drinks and the glasses had a rotten smell. The staff nicely changed it to clean ones but made us question the cleanness of the kitchen. We ordered mains that were dry and terribly eggy (the prawns were even coated with fried egg). I told the staff who took my plate back the kitchen and came back after two minutes telling me that it is a new one- a new cooked main in two minutes? This is ridiculous. I could only eat 1/4th of my plate as it made me very nauseous with a stomach distress after! And when i told the staff who asked me if I enjoyed my meal she didn’t bother saying anything and i just left nicely. Should i be one of those people who fight in restaurants to get a value for their stay? Please let me know.

Just been to Opium.... WOW WOW WOW! Staff were so attentive it could easily have you blush. Food was amazing, brought use back to our time spent on Koh Samui with our go to Pad Thai. If you want great food, service and a very reasonable €6.20 for a pint of Heineken you really cannot go wrong by heading to Opium. Without doubt we will definitely be regular customers. Thanks again to the staff and chefs amazing day .

Last week, we celebrated our friends birthday in Opium which is located in Wexford Street, Dublin, and I must say, it was an exceptional culinary experience. The ambiance was captivating with its stylish décor and inviting cool atmosphere. The menu boasts a tantalizing array of authentic Thai and Vietnamese dishes, each a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. Each plate is a work of art, meticulously crafted with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Opium Restaurant on Wexford Street captures the essence of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine in the heart of Dublin. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Thai or Vietnamese food or new to its delights, a visit to Opium is a must. It's a culinary journey that will transport your taste buds to the vibrant streets of Thailand while enjoying the comforts of a charming Dublin setting.

Great place to go to as a group! They have a Christmas group deal for about €45 where you get a big platter to share between four people with all of the starters, alongside a main and dessert. It’s a great way for you and your mates to get introduced to the restaurant itself. The share platter: The tempura prawns and pork belly were by far the most delicious on the plate. The pork belly was melt in your mouth and so tender For main I got the Mekong duck with fried rice. Very nice broth, duck was tender and the greens used really balance out the meal as a whole. Highly recommend the above dish. There were only two options for dessert (or champagne) in this menu. I got the mango parfait, the cream used for the outside part tasted off and was described as lemongrass. My tastebuds might still be uncultured but the cream did indeed taste weird. I got a bite of the brownie and that was far more preferable compared to the mango parfait.

Private booths were nice and toilets very nice. Food was good except my curry was served on a plate that could have been a bit bigger so the sauce wouldn't run over the side. I think the servers forgot about us though, they didn't come near us for ages after we got our mains.

A very nice outdoor dining experience where the terrace is heated with a very cosy christmas atmosphere! The food was delicious: we tried the sausage & scallops and really enjoyed it, and the thai dumplings were good too. Our favorite was the chicken cashew, tasting as if you were in Thailand!

Went there for dinner with friends, the ambiance was nice, food is delicious and staff are nice. Drinks are good but could be better and music could be nicer.

Lunch time the ambience is well lit and cozy. Nice and accomodating staff. The location is close to bus stops if ur travelling. Food is great. The cocktails could give more punch, otherwise all is good. Will come back.

A quirky outdoor dining experience during these strange times! The staff were very friendly and attentive. I had mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday in the booking and they brought out a surprise dessert for us with candles, a simple generous touch to some very satisfied customers! Food was also delicious. Would highly recommend!

Enjoyed every bit. 👍 Food was amazing (***** Pad Thai in the picture). Staff was very nice, every one of them. Service with a joke and a smile. We got a mix up with the wine, but they fixed it for us, within a second.🍷 And the restaurant looks very good. The booths we sat in was great. Like Thai food? Visit Opium!🍴

Really nice place. Nice interior, nice food, nice cocktails and nice staff. It's really a nice place to escape the traditional Irish food if you're staying to long in town. My only recommendations would be to tune down the upbeat 80s funk music as I don't think it resonates well with the whole aspect of the restaurant's environment. Did I say nice to much? Perhaps. But genuinely, the place is nice and you won't be disappointed.

Came here for a gig. The place is nice, amazing acoustic. Toilets clean and well maintained, there was a cloakroom (even though I didn't use it). The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the bar was missing some zero draft beers, like Heineken or Guinness zero alcohol. Just bottles, which I don't think it tastes as good as from the tap. The regular beers were great.

Without a shadow of a doubt the best stake I ever had. Yes the prices are a bit high but absolutely well worthed. Amazing cocktails also. My husband is a chef and he had his best meal ever. Well done to the chef! I usually don't leave reviews anywhere but this place is great! Extremely helpful and friendly staff also. Well done 👏

Nicest food I have had in a while!! Starter/Main/ Dessert Was Delicious 10/10 for food,Ambiance, Staff. Brownie is tops 👌ordered 2 🤗

I went to the restaurant with myself & 5 girls for a girls night. Wow I was so impressed! Definitely one of the nicest Thai restaurants I've been to. The food was absolutely amazing - I think the prices were very fair to match the quality. The cocktails were delicious I recommend the Hugo Collins. I will definitely be back.

Dee was such a great bartender, always making sure we had drinks and when she found out it was my birthday arranged a brownie and candle!! Couldnt get over it, who still goes out of their way like that on a busy saturday night?! Would be back just for her!! Also tasty cocktails and a beautiful garden area!!

Grand like

Amazing place!!! I really enjoyed the start of this year, I have been there in the New Year night ! Was lovely. Very good DJ !

Great club

The night club is nice. Good location and has a lot of room, so u can dance without crash in someone else. I really enjoyed the decoration inspired by mangas.

Decent club but music could be a little better

Food was very nice, reccomend the flourless brownie

Food and drinks really good!

The botanical garden area is really nicely decorated. Meal was really good and staff were all friendly and helpful. All covid procedures followed.

Great spot, intimate venue for a gig.

Great food, excellent place.

Service was great, food was excellent. Masks were worn and social distancing protocols were adhered to. It was a lovely experience.

All our food very salty ,there's a difference between spicy and salty.

Sneaky carry on. For our Christmas Dinner gathering December 2020, my party were given 3 glasses of prosecco which no one ordered. We then noticed everyone else had glasses of prosecco on their tables so assumed it to be complimentary.... wrong. We were charged 5e per glass at the end of the meal. Food was tasty but I hate being conned. Won't be back

Great food, and good value

Food is delish, even amended my order to suit my food preferences, excellent service, great cocktails and made a great surprise for a birthday. Totally recommend!

Great ambience... Place 8/10 Food however lacked authentic flavour 4/10

It's a lovely place, quite large with a few areas for food and drinks, and there's a large bar out the back which is good for small parties. Was very surprised at how good the food is here, highly recommend. I recommend the cocktails too, good selection!

Social distancing was followed. Food was nice, and the show was amazing 😍💕

The Asian themed food was really tasty

The food is fantastic and got great service from waitress, great atmosphere highly recommend 👍

I love this restaurant so much! Staff is lovely, they remember the regulars, always have a few nice words. Kitchen is excellent, one of the best in Dublin even the prices are very fair. Wine selection is awesome.

Great place. Friendly staff. Great food

The food was very sweet

Great service, alright food

Music wasn't great. Had to stay for a friend's birthday and couldn't wait to leave. Bar was pretty slow too. Has potential, maybe it wasn't our night.

Really lovely restaurant great friendly staff & beautiful food

It was fine until the DJ came on playing techno at full volume. Painful - you have my sympathy if that is your regular Saturday night out.

Amazing food. Staff were very accommodating.

Amazing food.

We had such a great team for our team Christmas dinner. The food was lovely, the staff is smiling, pro and attentive. Everyone loved the food which catered for all allergens. Wines were nice too! Definitely recommend the place. Thank you for a great night!

Delicious treats

Great selection and good service.

Lovely food, friendly staff 👌

Was here on Friday night with a couple of friends. The fact they take your temperature before you even walked in made me feel relaxed being there. The service was great, the food was extremely fresh & tasty & was served so quickly. Delicious cocktails & very friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back here again. Can’t wait for later in the year when restrictions are lifted a bit so can experience the nite club etc. But was very comfortable with the distancing & the methods in place during this time. Fab place!

Service was great and food was amazing

Felt under constant pressure by one of the lounge staff. He was quite abrupt, short and unfriendly. The bill was placed on the table without having been told, or asked for. However, the food and drinks couldn't be faulted.

Cool place
