The best restaurants in Cork

24/08/2025: customer service is absolutely shocking.

24/08/2025: Customer service is a disgrace told to go order somewhere else because a trainee mixed up the order. Asked could i get chicken and large pizza combo at the start of the call which i was told yes i could. Then told it wasn't possible so had to speak to someone else who didn't want to listen to what i had to say and told me go order elsewhere.

05/12/2025: Burnt fried egg . And dirty cutlery. FFS it cost enough too

21/11/2025: This food is gorgeous and the staff and the owner are really nice really nice place to get food, will be going back again next time we are in Cork, thanks for making us so welcome, and for looking after my sister who just came out of hospital! Thank you.

02/11/2025: Let's start with the fact that a place called Ramen doesn't have ramen on the menu. The only dish with "ramen" in the name is the one in the photo. It tasted like overcooked instant noodles with chicken and vegetables. As for the staff, they don't care at all. The girl continued chatting with a colleague even after she saw me approach the counter. The guy doesn't know what ramen is, so I had to explain it to him. He eventually said the dish in the photo is ramen, which is simply ridiculous. The atmosphere is completely inconsistent with the Asian setting. It's a simple eatery with indifferent staff and low-quality food.

29/10/2025: Be careful with closing hours was told at 20:15 had to order for takeaway as they were under staffed (we’re quite pushy about making that point) we clarified with them about their opening hours and they stated they’re closing early. The food is good but was let down by service. Has never been an issue previously.

17/11/2025: The staff was rude and the customer service was terrible. I had to beg the waiter to come to my table. The wings were so heavily salted that I burned my entire mouth, to which they replied, "You could have asked for less salt." None of us knew the salt content beforehand. It was impossible to eat, and we were forced to pay for it. I'm pregnant, and I was very upset that immediately after my complaint, the entire staff started yelling and complaining. We paid for something we couldn't eat due to the chef's fault.

09/10/2025: Great place and delicious food for really little money. I recommend it to everyone.

02/07/2025: This is our place to drink our coffee, we like they give us a card and we can get a free one occasionally. I don't understand why they can't let us have a cold coffee for free like they do with the hot coffees. Also they should ask if we are drinking in there or to take out. We get plastic recipients when we are staying in the place, it should be nice to have the right one when we are in the area.

27/06/2025: Very unprofessional, discriminatory and rude.

16/06/2025: I received the delivery from this store. It was not the first time I ordered. This time I received terrible food. The duck was bad and without sauce at all.. The soup was disgusting.. There was a lot of vinegar and it tasted like a rotten lemon. We called, talked about the problem.. We were offered a discount of 5 euros for the next order. We replied that there would be no next order.. And that we will bring this food and return it to them.. We were told that the cook has been working there for 30 years, and that all the food is prepared at once and according to one recipe.. We brought the food back, we got a refund for the food, but they didn't get it back for the delivery.. The evening is ruined, there are hungry 🤷‍♀️

11/10/2025: Got a Spice Bag, Chicken Balls and a Curry sauce. While the food did taste ok the quantities were on the small side. We counted 7 pieces of chicken in the spice bag and the 5 Chicken balls were also on the small side, probably 60-70% of the usual size of a Chicken ball. Curry sauce was also in a smaller size cup. Spice bag was €10.50, probably the most expensive price I have paid for a spice bag so was disappointing to see they skimp on portion size. Prices should be cheaper to reflect the smaller portions as it lack any real value for money.

19/07/2025: Really poor, overpriced, 4 pieces of overcooked chicken in flavourless spice bag.

15/10/2025: I literally love their kebabs... The best kebab in Cork City... Live long and prosper...

02/09/2025: The kebab was the sloppiest thing where you couldnt pick it up or eat it . The smallest amount of salad was placed in it and the lettuce just went slimely under the meat. There was so much sauce I thought it was melted cheese at first. Portion size small .Standards and food have massively dropped .

30/06/2025: Good food. Affordable prices. Just need ask the lads for sauce as they don't supply.

24/10/2025: Good food. Lovely girls. Vat reducted in budget. Result upped price of fish supper by 1.20 euro?

23/10/2025: Food was appalling covered in GREASE the onion rings were soggy not even cooked ,brest in a bun was on eatable so much sauce burger was AGAIN SOGGY over so much Sauce!!! Cheese and onion pies SOGGY and GREASY could have been cooked longer my mouth after 3 bites had to spit it out mouth was sour from the salt and grease....wont be going back FIRST and last TIME il ever eat out of there

10/10/2025: Food nothing special — I don’t know where they’re from, but here in Ireland, we usually say thank you when someone buys something from us. It’s called manners.

10/10/2025: Nice feed! Wedges were a bit soggy stick to the meat!

30/08/2025: Fried are really good and vegan chilli mayo was great as well

27/06/2025: Food with lots of pepper and no taste, coarse employees. I don't recommend it!

30/09/2025: I was going to dunnes hoping to grab a coffee from the coffee machine within dunnes and have in cafe only to be told rather rudely I can’t be in there even though I have a cafe sol coffee same blond woman then went to the door and refused entry to anyone not buying from the cafe area although people across from me were doing the same and nothing was said very dissatisfied in this particular staff member located near Dinos dunnes

06/08/2025: Absolutely love this cafe! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of cozy seating and bright natural light. My cappuccino was smooth, rich, and beautifully presented by Martyna and the banana bread is always fresh and delicious. The baristas here always greet you with a warm smile and you can tell they care about every customer that walks in. It’s rare to find a place with coffee this good and the best staff behind it all!

29/09/2025: Got a Breast In A Bun from Barrack Street and it was really poor quality Chicken, it was similar to the cheap processed Chicken you get in a hot Chicken roll from a Deli.

27/09/2025: I love O’Reilly’s! But my recent order last night with pals was very disappointing. I’m always appreciative of their quality but not sure if it was a blip or new staff in training but the fish and chips - fish was bready.. almost soggy. No crisp at all. And not sure if its a branch price difference but the hake and chips - you’ve to pay extra for dip and peas?.. the one near kingsley or bandon they didn’t charge. It was just a bit surprising as well to see the other poor reviews. Hope they turnaround!

07/09/2025: Don’t know difference between latte and cappuccino

07/09/2025: I had a strawberry milkshake, It was disgusting, too much milk no strawberry flavour at all, Very liquidity, never going there again The staff were fairly stressed out, Not a great atmosphere there , €10 for two cold drinks, Ridiculous!
