Drunken Fish in Dublin

Been here several times but this is the first time I get around to reviewing it. Excellent food and amazing flavours all around. The prices are so so reasonable for the food. The mains always come with some sides (it’s Korean food after all!). Second to none service and even though the restaurant has a “posh” ambiance, the vibe is super relaxed. Ideal place for a casual lunch or dinner or a gathering of friends over Korean Bbq( veg options available) 2024 update: Just as good but the service was a bit slow. We had the kimchi jiggae and fried chicken. Both were really good. The kimchi jiggae vegetarian option didn’t have many vegetables. Rice was super fluffy and well cooked

Excellent food in a cute setting. For K-BBQ they bring a hot plate to the table and you have get your own ingredients from a buffet. There’s a button on each table to call the servers, but they were a bit slow to respond.

We only saw from the inside how big the restaurant actually is. Super nice service, everything went very quickly (we were there at lunchtime). The food is excellent and super tasty!

Great Korean cuisine, affordable prices and good location

The place is super cool but its understaffed and the smell of it is almost impossible to stay inside with all the smoke. We wouldn’t stop coughing. But the food was good and the price is okay. Dont order cocktails.

Drunken Fish is a must-visit spot in Dublin for anyone craving delicious and affordable Korean food. The menu offers a variety of flavorful options that are both satisfying and reasonably priced, making it a great choice for a casual meal. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. What sets this place apart is the constant stream of amazing K-pop music playing in the background, complemented by music videos on the screens; it adds an authentic and lively urban Korean vibe to the dining experience. If you're looking for a place with great food, great prices, and great vibes, Drunken Fish is the spot. Highly recommend!

Slow service with no buzzer. Food was mid, although the portions were generous. No extractor fans at tables meant we were choked out of it by smoke/spices in the air from other tables.

The good: Huge variety of kimchi, meats and vegetables to cook with on the BBQ - genuinely impressed by the variety. The friendly irish waiter who took the time to explain what to do (our second Korean BBQ, but first here) and recommend a few combinations and soju The friendly Filipino waitress who swapped out our grill plate and served some of our drinks Plenty of space so you weren’t on top of each other The set up of equipment- gas BBQ, scissors for slicing meat into small pieces for cooking, tongs, plates etc all well organised The not so good The South African waitress was less friendly Most of the desserts weren’t chilled but actually still frozen Lack of soft furnishings means it is *very* noisy; the wood floors and tables bounces sound so the large groups easily drowned out our conversation, and the open wide space between the bar downstairs and the restaurant upstairs means you get a front row seat at the karaoke concert below you… and yes they were bad singers. About a third of the sauce bottles (for adding to BBQ) were empty and not topped up while we were there. Asked for water several times, never got it Location - IFSC on a Friday night in winter is very quiet and isolated We would return but think the current price of €35pp is stretching a little high.

Fui allí un domingo con mi hijo mientras estaba cerca. Servicio rápido y agradable, buena comida, excelente ambiente y buena experiencia. Yo tenía la 1/2 miel de pollo al ajo y él tenía la olla caliente mixta que cocinas tú mismo en una olla. Una noche muy agradable y volveremos!

Tuvimos un almuerzo casual aquí. Buena comida y buen servicio, aunque un poco lento. Elegí el menú del almuerzo, que es muy bueno para € 15. 50 , entrante, principal y refresco. Mi única duda es el cobro de 9 euros por un modesto vaso de la casa Sauvignon Blanc. Incluso por los precios de los vinos de restaurante de Dublín, esto es extorsión. El coste de la copa de vino equivale a casi el 60 % del coste total de los alimentos. Qué locura. Como digo, buena comida y servicio, pero si te gusta una copa de vino con sus comidas, dar a este lugar una falta.
