Review from Aoife R.

It's difficult to eat a Chinese with a plastic fork, particularly if the meat isn't perhaps the most tender cut. Also, getting your dinner/lunch in a Styrofoam container surprisingly doesn't enhance its taste.
Still, there is no denying the fact that it remains a viable option for the hungry drunk. You are really only going to find yourself here after the pubs let out, so your tablemates are more likely to be slumped forward with their head in their chicken balls than animatedly discussing world events. It's not fancy, but it will do the job. -

I'm not sure if Charlies actually do any business before eleven o'clock at night. I know they're open, but unless somebody is sloshed in the middle of the day, they're not going in there for their lunch.
Charlie's two survives off the drunk population of Dublin with a vicious appetite who are seduced by the sweet smell of MSG and carbs that waft through the Temple Bar streets and down past the Purty Kitchen.
The food is pretty crap, unless you're hammered, which let's face it, you will be if you're in here. Also the staff are rather unfriendly. I was once slapped in the face by a woman who worked here for trying to get a plastic fork. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but I can't remember. -

I ate here once when it opened about five years ago and haven't been back since. The experience itself wasn't all that bad as cheap Chinese takeaways go, but the place has built up a bit of a rep for itself as the midnight eatery for patrons of Fitzsimons and Club M, and a place like that is just not that appealing during the day, or night for that matter. There's noodles and rice dishes slathered in all kinds of MSG flavoured concoctions, served up in styrofoam containers with plastic cutlery. Sit in the windows at the front and you'll have a prime view of all the debauched late-night Temple Bar antics parading past.
