WA SUSHI わ鮨 in Galway

after closing of Kappa-ya, this is possibly the only authentic Japanese restaurant in Galway. wonderful food just quite pricy (if dine in)

Amazing place staff are super friendly and respectful. Food is fabulous. Little bit pricy but I definitely think it’s worth spending that bit extra just cause of how delicious the food is. You get to see all your meals prepared in front of you. Really cool experience if you want to experience Japan in Galway.

This was fantastic, went in there for lunch as such and got a few items off the dinner menu We were 2 couple and four kids. We gorged in nicely prepared sushi miso soup Oysters etc etc We also got chatting to the chef and she told us where to go in Japan, talked about knifes and the rest. Overall it’s was pretty special

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner. It was amazing 10/10 I could not recommend more. We sat at the sushi bar and got to watch the chef make the sushi. She was so kind and friendly. We were lucky enough to go on a not busy night so we have some lovely conversations with her. All of the sushi was fantastic everything tasted so fresh. The atmosphere was adorable. Definitely come here

We have coeliak decease, and can not eat any restaurante. They promise their sushi are gluten free and it is true 😍🥰 we only tried the GF sushi but it's wonderful 😍😋

A really lovely meal from a friendly spot! We heard about this restaurant on tiktok of all places, and decided to check it out. The food was wonderful, especially the sushi itself. Do make sure you order the nigiri as I think that's their superpower, it's stunning! They also do sake tasting, which was excellent. There's occasional events (one coming up on the 21st of October 2025) where they do sake and food pairings, too. I removed one star for service as the tea we ordered was sold as decaf, but in fact was caffeinated. Otherwise, a stellar meal! We will be back!

Best veg sushi I’ve ever had in Ireland. The miso caramel ice cream is to die for.

Outstanding food with very warm, generous, and kind service.

A special moment with a sushi chef who cooks in front of us, chats openly and teaches us a lot. The quality of the fish is incredible and it is undoubtedly one of the best sushi we have made so far.
