Lovely little Chinese restaurant in the heart of Dunkin city center.
Went in and it was quiet, but soon filled up and was a great atmosphere.
Service was super, and the food was delicious. Proper authentic Chinese food that was very well cooked. The tofu Singapore rice noodles were absolutely delicious.
Would definitely recommend it.

We enjoyed a great dim sum meal of sticky rice in lotus leaf, prawn and pork and mushroom cheung fun, prawn and vegetable dumplings, and turnip cakes at Good World. The person who waited on us was very nice, and the food came quickly. The atmosphere was also pleasant. But I have one large criticism: you absolutely do not greet customers entering your restaurant with a frown, then ask if they have a reservation — when there are empty tables clearly visible in the restaurant. A frown is NEVER the way to greet a paying customer in a restaurant. I have no idea what the frown was about. I did notice that we were the only non-Asian table in the restaurant, which was fairly full when we went to Good World. Next to us was a nice couple, with the wife being Anglo and the husband appearing half-Asian. He had grown up in Hong Kong, he told us. We stood out as the only non-Asian table in the place — and all the more reason to make us welcome, it seems to me. P.S. Food was so good that we tucked into it right away and I didn’t think to snap a photo until one sole cheung fun, part of a sticky rice bundle, and a piece of turnip cake were all that was left.

Very noisy and busy Cantonese restaurant, but it is obviously one of the most traditional and authentic place for tasting Cantonese food particularly Dim Sum. They even serve dim sum in the evening which is always a plus.

Above average dim sum place with a traditional Chinese restaurant vibe!
All the dim sum we ordered were not bad. The siu mai and har gao had a generous amount of shrimp. The prawn cheong fun was delicious and simple. The rice roll that they used for the cheong fun is well done, which made that dish stand out more than the rest.
The black bean spare ribs had a good portion size and it was all meat! The shen jian bao had a fluffy pastry but not a big fan of the filling.
Overall a good meal but there was more left to be desired. I am a big fan of the vibe here so would return again for sure, maybe once in 2 months or so.

Excellent Cantonese food with good atmosphere and fast service. It was our first time there. After having been to another Dim-Sum place in Dublin south side multiple times in the past, we decided to try this place, and we were definitely not disappointed.

I had the Beef with Black Bean Sauce and the food was tasty. The Beef Dish was €22.50 and it was an extra €4.50 for rice + an extra €6 or so for a bottle of beer. My partner had a dish composed of pieces of chicken coated in spices in a bowl with lots of pieces of dried red chillies. The only complaint that we had was that the portion sizes were quite small. So just a warning, if you’re hungry you’ll need to order more than we did. On another note, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice restaurant in a good location.

I recently had the opportunity to dine here and tried the chicken curry with boiled rice and a side of chips. The chicken curry was flavorful, though I had requested it without onions, and unfortunately, onions were included when the dish arrived. That said, the mixed meat dumplings were truly exceptional—perfectly bite-sized with a deliciously crispy exterior and a savory pork filling that was full of flavor. Overall, the food was excellent, and the experience was enjoyable. Be sure to make a reservation, as it gets quite busy, but you’re in for a great time!

Good World on South Great George’s Street is not so much a restaurant as it is a full-blown sensory assault — and I mean that in the best possible way.
I went in with a few mates and my Chinese girlfriend, who, thank the culinary gods, took one look at the vast and frankly bewildering menu and assumed full command of the ordering process. She tried to explain what we were having — bless her — and I nodded along like a Labrador being shown a calculus textbook. I understood nothing, but I trusted the process.
And then… the food avalanche began.
We ordered three starters and three mains to share, and my friend and his girlfriend did the same. The table — clearly built for a quiet meal between two people with no elbows — quickly disappeared beneath waves of steaming plates and sizzling platters. By the end, we were strategically stacking bowls like it was a game of dim sum Jenga.
The wan ton starter? Sensational. Delicate, hot, salty — everything you want in life. My girlfriend fell head over heels for the cheung fun, which I can best describe as silky tubes of joy. And then came the star of the show: the Ma Po tofu. A spicy, punch-you-in-the-face kind of dish that had me sweating and grinning like a madman.
Now, let’s talk atmosphere. This place is loud. Not the kind of loud where you raise your voice slightly. I’m talking aeroplane hangar full of revving V8s loud. Why? Because the tables are crammed so close together you could genuinely sample someone else’s crispy duck by mistake and no one would notice. Intimacy? Forget it. This is communal eating in stereo.
The décor? A bit tired. Paper tablecloths, old furniture, and that slightly worn-down charm that says, we’ve been here for decades and we’re too busy serving food to care what you think about the lighting. And they’re right. You’re not here for interior design tips. You’re here for serious Chinese food done properly.
Location-wise, it’s bang in the middle of town, so you can’t fault that. But if you’re planning to drive, don’t. Unless you enjoy the kind of parking experience that ends in tears, tickets, or both. There is zero free parking nearby. You’ll end up abandoning your car somewhere illegal and hoping for the best — just get the LUAS or a cab and save yourself the stress.
In summary:
Good World is gloriously chaotic, comfortingly authentic, and just the right side of unhinged. Come hungry, come curious, and bring someone who knows what they’re doing — preferably someone fluent in both Mandarin and menu management.

I think this place is better than Ka Shing. I love everything that we ordered—Xiao Long Bao, Crispy Pork Belly, House Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour Chicken! Lovely staff too!
