Cathay Royale

West Blackhall Street's got a fair few spots to eat, but Cathay Royale's the one that's built real loyalty over the years. You're looking at straightforward Chinese takeaway done well — the kind of place where regulars know what they're ordering before they walk in. The 4.4-star rating across 231 reviews tells you something; that's not luck, that's consistency. It's the sort of neighbourhood spot that works because it doesn't try too hard, just gets the basics right and charges fair prices for it.
