The best restaurants in Cork city council

21/10/2026: Tasty pizza and the friendliest staff 🙌

20/10/2026: Excellent place to get take out 🍕

07/05/2026: Tasty quick bite. Seating is limited and very compact. I was practically on top of the table next to me. Very busy but the staff were nice and efficient. Goats cheese and tomato quiche was very good.

01/06/2026: We had Chicken Pad Thai. They made me a gluten-free version. Plus, there's gluten-free soy sauce and sriracha on every table. The flavor was incredible, with fresh ingredients. Water pitchers and glasses are available free of charge. The service is fast and attentive. I would definitely go back.

03/03/2026: My partner and I have been coming here regularly and it never disappoints. The food is very reasonably priced and always super tasty. The staff are attentive, friendly, and create a welcoming atmosphere every time even if super busy. Our special compliments go to the store manager, Jay. He consistently notices the small details that others might overlook and ensures that everything runs smoothly while maintaining a warm and organized environment. His attentiveness and natural leadership are clearly reflected in the team’s attitude. What stands out most is his thoughtful and composed approach. He leads with confidence, fairness, and genuine care — qualities that are valuable. One can see that he takes pride in his work and sets high standards, not through pressure, but through example. It’s truly refreshing to see such professionalism combined with authenticity. Jay is a real asset, and his dedication does not go unnoticed. Thanks again Ramen.

04/10/2026: Food is good but when you try to ring in an order you have a better chance of a dead guy answering their phone

26/09/2026: It’s the best Asian food takeaway in Cork. The beef & green pepper with black bean sauce and egg fried rice is so nice! We had four different tasty dishes! Thank you

30/10/2026: Awesome! I love this cafe. The food is delicious and fresh, and if you download the app, you can collect coupons for free coffee. The place is spacious and beautiful, and the service is fast and very friendly. 100% recommended.

16/10/2026: Food is bang average but its all pre packaged so that doesn't say much. The red haired barista genuinely makes me feel like a scumbag for coming into the shop, she's a nightmare. Their hot coffee is nice, I have to specifically tell them every time what a dirty chai is and they never ever remember, which is fine, music is always way too loud and the tables have never been cleaned im guessing, always food everywhere and you can smell the toilet from the front door.

26/09/2026: Had a breast in bun meal today..absolutely disgusting. Chicken half cooked.never again

25/09/2026: Rang to ask about allergies and said they didnt know and maybe it could. Not given a direct answer

26/09/2025: We loved to go to Dashi and it was our go-to takeaway in COVID times. I ordered for collection on a Thursday evening at 7pm, half of the sushi options were gone and the curry and udon noodle dishes (or at least parts thereof) were heated in a microwave, and it still took them 25 minutes to put the order together. The dishes lacked veggies and where mediocre at best, and I couldn't finish the seaweed salad. Very disappointed.

18/09/2025: Visited the place just for the first time, as I saw they have a lot of great reviews, and variety of options, but unfortunately were disappointed, as many of the ingredients weren’t just included. They show in the menu that the sushi has variety of ingredients, and a lot of interesting stuff like: asparagus, chive, chilli powder, and so, but unfortunately they just used instead of the asparagus the curcumber, and we had no chives or chilli powder, although we should have had😟 Also the trout sushi we had was half raw/and half cooked👀

13/09/2026: The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was also very pleasant. I highly recommend it.

14/08/2026: The lady serving us seemed to have very little understanding of good customer service. I ordered a 4-in-1 and asked for satay sauce. She brought it as requested, but there was so much satay sauce on the food that I could not eat it. I wish she had explained or warned me beforehand about how much sauce they normally put on it. Had I known, I would either have asked for less sauce or not ordered it at all. Good customer service is not just about taking an order; it also involves communicating properly with customers and helping them make informed choices. Unfortunately, that was missing from my experience.

05/10/2026: Exceptional service, lovely staff and great cocktails. Would recommend for a celebration or occasion.

01/10/2026: Menu very picked no normal food for the normal person

16/09/2026: It's not a BBQ place anymore. Burgers, Chicken and mini tostadas.

11/09/2026: Nice combination of bar, eatery, and bowling, billiards, and sports bar. Friendly people, young crowd.

22/08/2026: We ordered online for collection from Dinos Bishopstown. We normally go to the Ballincollig location, but after having a few disappointing experiences there recently, we decided to give the Bishopstown location a try instead. Unfortunately, we were left very disappointed again. When we got home after collecting our order, we realised that a garlic cheese chips, which was part of my meal, was missing. I then had to drive all the way back to Bishopstown to have it sorted. When I explained what had happened and asked if my meal could be remade, as it had gone cold after having to drive back out because of their mistake, the gentleman behind the counter made a face as though I was being unreasonable for asking. He said he needed to speak to a manager, which is fair enough, but while my food was being remade, both he and the girl at the counter were sniggering about the situation between themselves. I found this extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable, particularly when I was already inconvenienced by an error that wasn’t mine. I do want to mention that the Irish lady who I assume was the manager was absolutely lovely. She was very kind, apologised for the mistake and handled the situation professionally, so I have no complaints about her whatsoever. Unfortunately, the food itself wasn’t great either. The chips were stale and tasted as though they had been sitting around and then put back into the oil to heat them up. Considering the time and money spent, the overall experience was extremely disappointing. We genuinely hoped Bishopstown would be better than our recent experiences in Ballincollig, but unfortunately it seems Dinos has really gone downhill across the board. There are plenty of other chippers around that provide much better food and, more importantly, basic customer service and professionalism. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time and money here.

16/08/2026: Great food, great taste from local caught fish.

15/09/2026: It's more of a fusion cuisine; the flavor is good and the staff is friendly. The children's menu is very good. And the Korean burger is very tasty and filling, but there's too much bread for too little meat.

19/08/2026: Beautiful food everything taste so fresh and always hot and the ice cream when you're finished cools down the mouth if you order anything a bit hot.

20/07/2026: Amazing food service is great thank you

06/07/2026: Nice food. Restaurant a bit dated needs a revamp

31/07/2026: I Ordered pizza as per the meal deal advertised outside the door. 2 x medium pizzas. I also ordered dips and was charged €25. When I got the receipt, I saw that the dips were free but they charged me €25 for the €21.95 deal. I asked the girl that served me and she said that deal wasn't available anymore. But the sign outside the door said it was? It's €3, not a big deal, but it's clearly advertised as €21.95. I got no satisfaction from the girl that served me, I have emailed directly and no one has been able to answer me as to why this happened.

28/03/2026: After a slight issue with the pizza we ordered, we received stellar customer service to remedy the issue and were delighted with the support we received from the staff today. The food itself was exactly what we would expect from Four Star but tasted all the better because of the brilliant experience. Will be returning!
