the best japanese restaurant in dublin in my opinion

Went back to this beautiful restaurant that has just reopened after some renovations. Just as before the renovations everything is absolutely delicious. The sushi is fresh. The rice has the perfect consistency. There is a short wait time. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming. I have recommended this place to so many friends and family and everyone has loved it. It is a must try. I must warn you if you come once it will become a regular fixture when you want to go to a restaurant.

This place has become my dependable rendezvous spot, the culinary equivalent of someone who always texts back. No drama, no surprises (well except for when I'm craving a spicy tuna roll and find out there are renovations going on). The food is consistently delicious, a culinary choice akin to a mercedes W123. Reliable, consistent, and providing an attainable luxury. The spicy tuna and salmon rolls arrive at the table with a glistening shimmer, the miso soup alongside it like Don Quixote's Sancho provides a humble and balancing flavour which contrasts the spicyness of the rolls. The gyoza, tempura, and karaage pair perfectly with a crisp Asahi. And the unagi nigiri...oh the unagi nigiri could convince me to forgive almost any transgressions. I do caution everyone if you decide to order a cocktail. The drinks are deceptively strong. Delicious, but leave you tipsy before your gyoza arrive at the table. In regards to negatives, I would have mentioned that the journey to the bathroom is interesting (No more Don Quixote references) and the bathroom experience is not particularly pleasant. That's what I would have said, but I haven't been since the renovation; so it might be different now. Reliable? Absolutely. Frequently visited? Without shame. Delicious? To the point of emotional attachment.

Fantastic Japanese place, really friendly

Very tasty food, kind service & good atmosphere.

Went to check for myself (5th Sep 2025) as I was absolutely gutted but good news - they will be back and they also liked a comment on their instagram which seems promising!
