Best Cheap Eats (And Bubble Tea)
Aobaba
Why locals love it
This little place is always packed with people sitting enjoying soups (and other Vietnamese favourites) and standing around waiting for take away. It may take ages to find a place to sit, but there's a reason this little place attracts so many locals. Dublin is not at all inexpensive, so thankfully Aobaba is there for those of us on a budget!
Why you should visit it
If you're on a budget there is no excuse to eat fast food for every meal in Dublin, when Aobaba is SO affordable. The low prices make ordering bubble tea or a smoothie to go along with my food feel less like a splurge. Plus, this is one of the best places for vegetarians, as they offer vegetarian options with mock meats for most dishes.
Special tip
If you plan on sitting down, try to go during less popular hours for lunch/ dinner. Or just settle for take away.
