Ramen
Cork
06/09/2026: Ramen Asian Street Food Dennehey’s Cross Cork
14.08.2024 7:55pm
My wife, my 10-year-old son and I are visiting Cork from Sydney Australia as I’m from the city originally.
I asked the young lady at the counter how do I order and she said sit down and she will give me the menus which she did. My wife went to the counter and ordered the food and during the transaction she was told by the gentleman behind the counter it was takeaway only because they don’t have any bowls or cutlery available. It was fairly evident that there were plenty of bowls at the side of the window, plus we could see that many customers were eating from plastic cutlery on the tables provided. I then went up and spoke to the same gentleman. He repeated the same thing to me but he obviously was not telling the truth and just making an excuse not to have the tables occupied. I even offered that we would eat at the table and throw away everything ourselves so they didn’t need to service the table but I was refused. For some reason he did say that he had no staff to clean the tables either but 5 minutes later he was clearing the tables himself. At one stage I counted 7 tables occupied and 12 tables unoccupied including those outside.
I have never experienced such bad service in my life and my wife spoke to the gentleman on leaving to tell him so. It was obvious he didn’t care for his customers as he kept defending his actions. Needless to say we won’t be going to this chain anymore as a whole experience has left a bad taste in our mouths.
We would be happy to provide further information to the restaurant if contacted where we can provide our email addresses.

Naturally Nourished
Cork
25/02/2026: Having heard so .much about the food here we decided to have breakfast. We ordered 2 teas, poached eggs on toast, toast and a granola bowl, €26.50. Two sandwiches for takeaway were €15.80.
The cups of tea arrived...we had to ask for milk. The granola bowl was small, but good. The toast was 3 half slices of bread already buttered!! The poached eggs consisted of 2 eggs, 3 half slices of toast, also already buttered and just put on the plate...zero attempt at presentation. For this meagre portion of food, which cost at max €5 to purchase, €26.50 is outrageous, maybe if there had been some attempt at presentation, we had been allowed to butter our own toast and didnt have to ask for, the tiny jug of milk one could say ok, quality food. The sandwiches, if a bit heavy on the mayo, were far superior and better value for money. Will we return? Maybe for a sandwich, but breakfast was ridiculous.

Four Star Pizza
Cork
22/06/2026: Ordered a simple chicken and ham pizza. Just chicken and ham. Two toppings. A mission so straightforward even a 3 year old child could probably manage it.
After waiting nearly an hour, my pizza finally was ready but came looking like it had picked up a few hitchhikers along the way. Somehow onions and mushrooms had joined the party completely uninvited.
I wasn’t aware Four Star Pizza had a “surprise topping lottery,” but apparently I won.
The pizza itself wasn’t bad, but by the time it was ready, I was considering filing a missing persons report. If I’d wanted mushrooms and onions, I’d have ordered mushrooms and onions. Instead, I ordered chicken and ham and got the director’s cut.
17/05/2026: The best pizza we’ve ever had! Absolutely unreal — fresh, flavorful, and always perfectly made. You can really tell they put care into every pizza. Special thanks to the staff as well — super friendly, polite, and always in a great mood. We’ll definitely be ordering again!

Wilton Willow
Cork
14/07/2026: Got a spice box for takeaway, nice food and very polite service
09/06/2026: Very disappointing experience at Wilton Willow. The food was a disaster from start to finish. The chicken in particular tasted weird and didn’t seem fresh, which was very off-putting. Other dishes were bland and poorly presented, and the overall quality was far below what we expected. Considering the prices, the meal was not worth it. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return and couldn’t recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

Heaven's Cakes
Cork
03/09/2026: Served a lemon tart on top of a cremebrule. Kind of ruined both of them. Just became a soggy lemon tart with custard. Tasted good still.
27/06/2026: Got the chocolate cake for my son’s 18th Birthday. Cake was absolutely delicious. They took the order on the phone and followed up for details.
On the day it was ready well before time to collect.
