The Black Market in Cork

07/09/2026: We visited Wabisabi Sushi and Noodle in Cork around lunchtime. Overall, I found the food fairly average — nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. For my taste, the dishes lacked a little brightness and depth of flavour. The wasabi also seemed quite watery and not very distinctive. What really impressed me, however, was the absolute cleanliness of the place. The staff were exceptionally attentive, polite, and clearly made an effort to look after every customer. Their attitude towards customers was genuinely excellent. Would I recommend this place? I think yes. It is certainly worth visiting once and forming your own opinion. If you are nearby and simply want a decent lunch or something to eat, this is a perfectly reasonable option. The prices are fair and affordable. However, if you are looking for bold flavours, culinary delights, unusual dishes, or a truly memorable dining experience, I think it would be better to look elsewhere. Personally, I found the food not expressive enough, so I probably would not make a special trip to come back again. Overall, it is a good place for a casual lunch, with fair prices, excellent cleanliness, and outstanding customer service. I am giving 5 stars purely because of the way the staff treat their customers. Their attentiveness, politeness, and level of service truly deserve it.
