Genesis is a take away Chinese which is why I didn't rate atmosphere. That said I really wish they opened a restaurant in belturbet. The food is just gorgeous, the ribs, the chicken fried rice, the chicken and mushroom soup, prawn toast, chicken cheese spring rolls (never had these before). Litterally every meal I've had delivered is spot on. Sometimes I add a little soy sauce or a little salt but I eat a lot of salt in general and for me this indicates that Genesis are not as prone in flavor additives such as MSG as most other Chinese takeouts, which is a good thing in general.
Their portion sizes are really generous. We always try out chicken and mushroom soup in all Chinese and compare and I have to say many are so scrimpy on chicken and everything else, where Genesis Chinese does not hold back. As I said its a takeaway and delivery service not a restaurant (a pity) because the food is fab and any of the staff I've met in the last year since I've moved here have been just spot on.. In particular the blond Dublin lady that delivers.. she's a little gem.
Belturbet is a wee town that has unfortunately witnessed many businesses closed down in the last years. I've been told there was 18 pubs more or less and now only 4 remains. So, if anyone goes to belturbet make sure you go to Genesis Chinese. You won't be disappointed. ❤️
