Wabisabi in Cork

Staff was very friendly and helped me adjust some of the vegetarian dishes to make them vegan (lots of possible options, just ask). The stir fry rice was great, makis were vere good as well, and the veggie tempura was simply amazing!! Overall, it is super recommended.

Food is amazing and the staff are lovely!

Good dumplings, ramen and friendly service. They made my dish spicy on request and it was delicious. My only complaint is that tips are cash only which is unfair on the staff and unfortunately I didn't have any.

Ordered ramen, the soup was really light. The noodle was quite soft (over cooked?)

Decent bento box in a no thrills setup. Regular top ups of green tea which were welcomed on a cold day in Cork. Good for a quick lunch.

This place is has the best Japanese food, I've tasted in a long time.Best Japanese restaurant in Cork.

Very nice food. Definitely recommend

We've been going here for years and recently came to use up a voucher. We haven’t been in a while and were shocked by the hefty price increases—around 23% across the menu in the last 11 months. The vegetarian ramen is now €16, and the chicken katsu curry a whopping €20.50. We understand the impact of inflation, high energy costs, and the end of tax relief, and we recognize that businesses must pass these costs onto customers. However, compared to countries like Italy, Germany, and Japan, the prices here seem unreasonable, and we’ve decided not to return. We just came back from a trip to Japan, where we paid a maximum of €8-max. 10€ for vegetarian ramen, €12 for pork ramen, and €10 for chicken katsu in the so-called "expensive" Japan. Prices included drinks.. As for the taste, we might have been spoiled by Japan, but the ramen lacked flavor and protein (it had two tiny pieces of tofu), though the curry sauce from the katsu was good, but the price just leaves a bitter taste. Service was fine. So overall, if you don’t mind paying absolutely astronomical prices for dinner, you’ll have a decent time. We’d rather save that money for a trip instead.

Have been here many times and love love love it! The food, service and staff, everything is exceptional in terms of tasty food and value

The first challenge is actually finding the place! Located on the busy Oliver Plunkett street but easy to miss as the entrance is just a doorway between 2 shops. On arrival the waitress seemed a little annoyed that we didn't have a reservation but quickly found us a table. Service was ok but not great. We had to ask twice for our drinks and the food took a little while to arrive. The food itself was nice enough, but it felt kind of inauthentic. I can't really put my finger on what is was, but it felt like something was lacking. The dessert (cheesecake) was very good though. I would visit again if I couldn't find any other Sushi places in Cork.
