Qun

With a string of competition on the Dublin Road, Qun has survived the opening and closing of many food outlets in this area.
As the Dublin Road hosts the main passage way to clubs and pubs in the city centre, the need for take-​outs on the way home is relatively high for danced out party people.
Qun accommodate at every level to every customer, with a sit down or take away option. In addition its late opening hours are quite unusual for a respected establishment. Therefore there is a strange mix of cliental in the later hours where tipsy teenagers dominate tables, eating out of take away containers with plastic cutlery.
The food is fine if you want to fill a hole, but it’s not going to impress those that want a great Chinese take out. I have regularly went for Qun’s student specials which are cheap and cheerful and exactly what you ask for at the end of a night out.

If the Dublin Road had any more Chinese restaurants it could be officially labelled the ‘China Town’ of Belfast.
Sitting alongside the sit-​in Tao Noodles, The Emerald takeaway and separate sit-​in restaurant and another Asian restaurant that’s slipped my mind Qun’s nicely lit and modestly decorated restaurant serves as a stopping point for the drunk in the area.
It’s surprising that a sit-​in restaurant opens until 3am, when you call in after 11 or so there are an awful lot of drunk people almost falling over and generally hassling the small number of staff they have working.
The food is a bit hit and miss to be honest. I’ve only had a takeaway before, Singapore noodles on one occasions (moist, a bit oily but well seasoned and meaty) and their take on the ‘snack-​box’. Many establishments in Belfast have now adopted this trend (which first began at one of Belfast’s few restaurants to get no ‘scores on the door’ for hygiene, The Emerald) It’s basically a cheap meal, £4 for two small ribs, two pieces of chicken, a combination of rice, chips and noodles and a drink. Not great.
