Assassination Custard — Dublin's legendary spicy Chinese takeaway

Hidden on Capel Street, this tiny Chinese place has been serving proper spicy Szechuan food since the 80s. The name's not a joke — Their hottest dishes will destroy you if you're not prepared.

Order the Bang Bang Chicken if you want heat but also flavor. The Szechuan beef is next level spicy. They do proper ma la — That numbing spice that makes your tongue tingle. Around €12-15 for a main.

Cash only, no atmosphere whatsoever, but the food is incredible. Open late and they'll adjust spice levels if you ask nicely. Don't order 'very hot' unless you really know what you're doing.
