Zakura
Dublin
19/01/2026: The rice in my Donburi was cold, the bowl was cold, everything else was good.
18/01/2026: Staff are lovely and attentive. Service is quick without feeling like you’re being at all rushed.
The food is absolutely incredible.
Portion sizes are great - I ordered a 4pc sushi, a portion of fried squid, and a side of noodles; and didn’t really need the noodles.
Great vegetarian options.
Will definitely be visiting again.

Musashi
Dublin
25/01/2026: Really good soft shelled crab rolls, sashimi, nigiri, all top quality delicious 🤤. Didn't get any cooked dishes but they also smelled quite good! Service was attentive and police not overbearing at all. Place was cute and central can see why it was so packed! Can't wait to go back.
19/01/2026: I ordered the Beef bento box 🍱, and my partner ordered the Musashi Ramen 🍜. It was an amazing way of trying a bit of everything, and the bento is very complete. We absolutely enjoyed it, and we'll come back again for sure 😊

Ichibanya Sushi and Noodles Bar
Cork, <20£
05/12/2025: The food is amazing, but I am giving three stars because one of the waitresses is rude every time. The skinny , long hair with a pair of glasses. The other staffs are lovely.
18/11/2025: Nice service and really tasty food with a good price. It's one of the best japanese restaurants in this city

Yamamori
Dublin
03/01/2026: Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with the service. The waitress was quite rude and rushed us, and she also complained about us not being happy paying the service charge. This is not Japanese-style hospitality at all.
The food was alright, the prices were reasonable, and the environment was okay.
I wouldn’t return. 😕
31/12/2025: The place is very pricey and the website is misleading. Just before the visit I checked the prices on website. The ramen was 18.25, when we were ordering the price was easy higher around 25.
It's fine for me to pay such price if the food is tasty and I get a good service, but our experience was very different from it. We waited quite a long time to just get the tap water and asked for it 3 times. The ramen itself was average.

Miyazaki
Cork
29/11/2025: The food was great, i just wish there were more places to sit. Their partnership with the pub next door is great though.
28/11/2025: The restaurant looks clean and small, with an open-kitchen concept that gives a cozy atmosphere. They offer drinks like tea, kombucha, and similar beverages. I ordered kombucha, but I was expecting it to be organic unfortunately, it came in a can, which was disappointing.
One of the biggest issues is that there is no toilet available, which is a major inconvenience. The woman taking orders at the counter entered the kitchen area, leaned over a table not meant for customers, and started chatting loudly with the kitchen staff. One of the employees even stopped working to join the conversation. This felt unprofessional — someone not working in the kitchen should not be inside talking like that, and it negatively affects the restaurant’s image.
Free tap water is provided, which was a nice touch. The food itself was good, but it took a very long time to arrive. We ordered three dishes, and after finishing two, the third one still had not been served even though we had already waited a long time. Meanwhile, the receptionist’s friend arrived and had a 5 minute loud conversation in the small dining area, which made the environment uncomfortable.
Overall, it was a disappointment. If you plan to visit Miyazaki Japanese Restaurant, keep these points in mind and adjust your expectations.

Yamamori
Dublin
07/01/2026: A spur of the moment dinner which left us impressed with value for money and happy to enjoy a Dublin institution.
After work, we wandered in and were seated quickly in front of the windows with a view of George's St. The service was impeccable and friendly. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry and my partner the Regular Dinner Bento. We were very pleasantly surprised with what came out, the curry was delicious with a generous breaded chicken breast on top of steamed rice and served with a luscious curry sauce. Pickles and a cabbage salad on the side brings freshness and crunch. His bento was even more impressive, lamb curry, teriyaki haddock and huge pieces of cod karaage with the usual bento accompaniment of sushi, miso soup, rice and salads.
I hadn't been in such a long time and it's wonderful to be pleasantly surprised by an old favourite.
07/01/2026: This place is the best for ramen! Such great value for money, I ordered the seafood ramen and had so much fish😁 Podge was a pleasure to have as our waiter, such a lovely and welcoming person thank you for making an amazing meal even better!

Musashi Parnell Street
Dublin
23/01/2026: Since I moved to Dublin, this has been my favourite place to have sushi. I always go for their Salmon Lover Platter and Salmon and Avocado Norimaki, their salmon is very fresh and rice is cooked to perfection. The staff is very nice and profesional. Certainly recommend.
19/01/2026: They are just crazy good. I booked a table for a birthday dinner last minute and when we arrived they showed us our table instantly, the food order was taken and 5 minutes later we were enjoying our starters with a beautiful Japanese beer. They also surprised my friend with a birthday cake and it made his night! The food was beyond description, so fresh and delicious. The servers were very extremely kind, no amount of tip is good enough for their kindness! Would 100% go back here for any occasion.
