The food is good, it is the same than the takeaway but way more expensive. I was expecting an extra price for the location and the comfort to eat at the table, but I think the prices do not match with what is offered. I like the food but I will keep going to the takeaway

My girlfriend and I visited Ichigo Ichie last night to celebrate our ninth anniversary. We mentioned during the booking that it was a special occasion, but unfortunately, nothing was done to acknowledge it, which was a little disappointing.
We had high expectations given the restaurant’s excellent reputation, but the experience didn’t quite live up to them. While my scallop starter was truly exceptional and beautifully cooked, the rest of the dishes felt a bit underwhelming — good, but not as memorable as we had hoped.
We also found that much of the menu leaned towards fried options, which wasn’t quite what we were expecting, and the rice in my girlfriend’s dish was slightly overcooked.
Overall, it was still a pleasant evening, but we left feeling a little disappointed considering how much we were looking forward to trying the chef’s cuisine. Hopefully, it was just an off night, as we really wanted to love the experience.

Cozy place, nice background history
They offered some changes due fish allergy of my partner and it was really good
The natural wine is not my thing however it was a nice experience
The food, specially the meat was super good

Too bad we missed the Michelin era of this restaurant, but in its current incarnation it still is undoubtedly one of the best Japanese restaurants in Ireland. I'm not a big cold soba fan normally, but now I'm a convert. The duck was sublime, and the cherry on top was a beautiful matcha panna cotta to finish the dinner. We will come back to Cork, specifically for this restaurant.
This is in my top 3 Japanese restaurants in Ireland, in league with Matsukawa in Dublin and Wa Sushi in Galway.

I’ve heard so much about this restaurant so wanted to try it for myself.
Let’s just say it was everything and more than what I expected.
Warm welcome, extensive menu and amazing dishes. I had the Onigiri and the Rib Eye steak which was probably one the best steaks I’ve ever had, so flavourful.
The cheesecake was the perfect ending for a delicious meal. Keep it up guys!

Our experience at Ichigo was outstanding. We arrived pretty early in the evening on a rainy night, and were immediately seated in a cozy back dining room. It was very difficult to choose from both the regular printed menu and the chalkboard menu, but we ended up with 4 delightful dishes - a duck starter that was phenomenal, fried rice balls (massive and delicious), pork katsu udon (one of the specials) that was one of the best dishes we ate on our month long trip around Europe, and tempura shrimp with a very flavorful dashi broth. The short but thoughtful wine list yielded a nice Sicilian white, and we left very full and very happy. So glad we headed out into rain for this wonderful dinner!
