I've been there already few times since reopening. The first time I had steak and it was the best steak I've ever had! It was perfectly cooked and came with very good pepper sauce. Second time I had butternut squash soup, which was delicious, and fish and chips. I love their chunky chips but nothing beats homemade Guinness bread which comes with the soup! Bar and restaurant staff are very nice and friendly. So far this is my favourite spot in Arklow.
Been here about 5 times since they opened up again. I like to go to restaurants alone. Service staff are really friendly. They don't come over too often so I was able to enjoy my food in peace. Dishes are tasty, plated nicely and fun!

Was there by myself, the food was good and i Had a nice table. It got busier while i was there and the place started to become alive in a good way. The Service was friendly and even though i blocked a table for 4 no one rushed me in any way. Which i really appreciate because i go out a lot by my own and sometimes Restaurants treat you a bit different.
26/11/2024: Good food for a reasonable price and okay portions. I got the karage chicken with noodles.
Would have been nice if they had hot sauce you could get on the side
06/11/2024: Great place for lunch or maybe a little date, Bright LED light .
*there is no ramp for wheelchair users *
Price wise it's good value for the amount of food . [Est €15-€20 pp]
The taste is what youd expect it to tase like but you'll have to eat in to have soy sauce personally the amount of sauce they give you isn't enough to coat your food so you'll find that one side of the burrito has sauce and the other side is just bland , but if you eat in that won't be a problem as much.
There's around 4 tables inside , the tables are small but it's kind of standard ,
Definitely space for your food and maybe 1 side dish but not much arm space. Also the seats are all stools so there's no back support on the chairs if you're dining in.
The staff are patient with everyone , they'll guide you through the ordering process.This does mean it takes a while for you to order depending on the amount of people in line. Usually this place is quite empty.Youll get your food pretty fast after you've ordered since most things are pre cooked or raw.
Everything looks clean on the surface.
Overall decent food in a decent place with a decent price.Would I say it's the best ? No , but it's good.
