THE distinctive Georgian-style building that once housed the Tung Sing, one of Cork city’s first Chinese restaurants, is on the market for €1.7m.

The landmark property sits in one of St Patrick’s St’s most recognisable terraces and is currently home to H Samuel Jewellers on the ground floor. The two upper floors at No 23 St Patrick’s St have been vacant since the Tung Sing closed in January 2024. It had operated as a family-run Chinese restaurant since the early 1960s.
