Ichigo Ichie in Cork

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!

Genuinely the nicest food I have ever had and I am fond of food. It was phenomenal from start to finish. The staff were very friendly and highly knowledgeable. Lovely atmosphere, ticked all the boxes. Will most certainly be returning!

Really innovative and delicious Japanese food with great prices given the standard.

The food was delicious! The duck and cod fish dishes were incredible! The service could be improved as the waitress seems a bit impatient without a reason.

Amazing and would highly recommend

Utterly delicious. My only regret is having one free night in Cork to come here. Even a simple dish like steamed edamame beans has been lifted with the perfect touch of chilli and enough garlic to keep nosferatu away for life. The rib eye main was outstanding and a good choice of wines by the glass allowed for a good pairing. All rounded off with plumb sake and an amazing light smoked gubeen cheese cake made for a night to remember. Going to have to come back soon!

Food was delicious and the staff were amazing. Just the right balance of attentiveness and privacy
