Out of the handful of Japanese restaurants I've tried in the Dublin area, J2 is easily my number one choice. The sushi is fantastic – you absolutely have to try the Prawn Monster Sushi, it's incredible. We also loved the Palm Wine, which was a unique and delicious surprise. For beer drinkers, they have Asahi on hand.
The restaurant has a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. If you're in Swords and looking for high-quality Japanese food, I can't recommend J2 enough.

The delivery of the food was beautiful and what I assumed to be the new girl was just as kind, she seemed to understand and learn from her mistakes, I found her almost amazing despite it being my first time going to a restaurant at all! The atmosphere fits the "Japanese" theme and if you sit close to the door you can see the chef cooking

If you need a reason to visit Swords, this is it! Absolutely fabulous food. The duck teppanyaki was to die for- crispy and succulent. The sushi and sashimi combo was delectable and so fresh! It was presented like the fine art it is too. Attentive service, and we saw some amazing looking cocktails served at the next table. Maybe next time for those...

Got take out sushi, very quick and friendly staff. We didn’t love the texture or the salmon in the spicy salmon roll. Great sizes, would recommend!

Really good and fresh food. Their sushi is delicious but I recommend trying the other dishes too, especially the soups or the grill. They have a meal deal where you can choose from a sushi combo, bento box or wok noodle dishes. The bento box is probably the best value for money.
