Neon

Neon brings colourful, Asian-inspired street food to a compact Temple Bar location on Curved Street, serving bao buns, dumplings, and Korean fried chicken to a mostly young, casual crowd. The menu favours bold, shareable flavours over refined technique, with the pork belly bao among the most ordered dishes. The interior lives up to the name, decorated in bright neon signage and pop-culture references that create a fun, informal atmosphere suited to a quick meal before or after a night out in Temple Bar. There is no significant wine list; the drinks focus is on soft drinks and a small beer selection. It operates on a walk-in basis, and the small space can fill up quickly on weekend evenings.
