Ichigo Ichie in Cork

An excellent little restaurant. Behind an unassuming entrance lies a rather long sliver room of Japanese dining. Without a menu too expansive they know what they are doing with each and every dish. The soba noodles are perfectly made, and have some rather unique and delicious flavours, one can be sure to find one right for their palate and mood. The smoked cheese cheesecake was truly a gem, never before have I tasted a smoked cheesecake, but it is a flavour combination which works surprisingly well. The service matches the interior design, being warm, friendly, and efficient. Nothing to complain about. The only thing I would suggest, is a nicer tea selection, although the menu of wines is expansive, and I'm sure great, for people such as myself who do not consume alcohol, fine teas can be the next best thing. As a big fan of good teas, I was a little disappointed to not see more space on the menu dedicated to them. I don't believe this should be a particularly difficult feature to implement either, as teas are small, easy to prepare and stored long. I just know I will be back here the next time I'm in Cork, and I will be excited to experience it anew.

Quite reasonably priced Japanese restaurant with typical dishes. However, the menu is full of non-translated Japanese terms and there is barely an explanation of the dishes in plain English. The Michelin Bib gourmand is hardly deserved. The dishes are fine, fair enough, but there misses some more aesthetic and flavour research that would justify it fully. Last, dark point: the dining room is narrow and dark, in spite of the artificial lighting. Moreover, you'll not be placed were you wish to, even if the restaurant is almost empty. One single waitress was in charge of the service. It was hardly enough to attend every guest properly. Note that the restaurant only opens for dinner.

Great place for nice handmade noodles. The smoked scallops and the curry noodles were amazing!

Not your traditional Japanese restaurant. Such a great atmosphere and the food was to die for.

Amazing food. This is authentic Japanese restaurant with everyday dishes. Nice vibe to the restaurant and lovely staff. Really nice staff. The quality of Provence if all ingredients was great. Nice quality of tofu and great duck . Sobha nodules really nice. Great value.

Amazing dinner and great service! The food is so tasty that is out of this world!! Everything perfect!

Ate here last week and was so impressed. Food was top notch. Service was great too - really accommodating of a fish allergy, something we always found tricky in Japan. Nice relaxed atmosphere, would highly recommend

This was a gorgeous meal. I got the Cod Nanban Don and it was lovely. Very light but tasty and the wasabi mayo was very well done. The servers were very attentive and helpful. Good value for money would recommend.

Really delicious food! The two employees that helped us were really lovely, giving useful local recommendations and tips about what to order
