The best restaurantsof japanese

10/11/2026: Marcos and Enzo made our night more special with excellent service and kindness. Food was delicious and fresh! Highly recommend going to all you can eat sushi.

10/11/2026: Excellent service, especially from staff member Enzo. Perfect.

09/08/2026: My favorite place to eat , I go at least once a week, not only the food , the service is also top tier 👌🏼 Highly recommend the jasmine tea 🍵

01/08/2026: The food is very fresh and really delicious.

04/11/2026: Derest gentle reader, This is the best ramen place in the EU.

21/10/2026: It's so good I'm on a mission of becoming regular to everyone who works there... I don't even live that close.

14/09/2026: I have found that when talking to people in the Dublin area, all have recommended Takara as the best ramen bar by a landslide, and I couldn’t agree more! For the past year or so I have visited this restaurant every time I was in Dublin and each time was met with incredible food and service! Pricing: Takara has excellent pricing across the board, especially for ramen and bento boxes. I have found other restaurants in Dublin to charge €18-20 for a single bowl of ramen, whereas Takara has consistently kept their prices at the €13 mark which is incredible value for the food you are getting. Food: Takara offers a wide variety of food at their establishment such as sushi, bento boxes, ramen and more. Personally, I am a huge fan of the variety of ramen, as myself and my friends all have different food restrictions and it can be hard to find a place that suits all of us. However Takara offers different ramen with beef, pork, chicken and even vegan ramen, making it inclusive for all! Service: I have found the service here to be excellent every time I’ve visited. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, and the food is served quickly no matter how busy the establishment. Additionally, I often find the portion sizes large and have always asked for a container to take my leftovers home, each time staff have kindly provided me with a takeaway box and bag for my convenience which allows me to get two meals out of their wonderful food and prevent waste. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s interest was even slightly peaked by their menu or the reviews. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

14/09/2026: Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!!! I stayed in Dublin for four and a half days and ate at this restaurant three times, I would of gone more if I didn't have all day tours. The kimchi is incredible!!!

07/09/2026: We visited Wabisabi Sushi and Noodle in Cork around lunchtime. Overall, I found the food fairly average — nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. For my taste, the dishes lacked a little brightness and depth of flavour. The wasabi also seemed quite watery and not very distinctive. What really impressed me, however, was the absolute cleanliness of the place. The staff were exceptionally attentive, polite, and clearly made an effort to look after every customer. Their attitude towards customers was genuinely excellent. Would I recommend this place? I think yes. It is certainly worth visiting once and forming your own opinion. If you are nearby and simply want a decent lunch or something to eat, this is a perfectly reasonable option. The prices are fair and affordable. However, if you are looking for bold flavours, culinary delights, unusual dishes, or a truly memorable dining experience, I think it would be better to look elsewhere. Personally, I found the food not expressive enough, so I probably would not make a special trip to come back again. Overall, it is a good place for a casual lunch, with fair prices, excellent cleanliness, and outstanding customer service. I am giving 5 stars purely because of the way the staff treat their customers. Their attentiveness, politeness, and level of service truly deserve it.

06/09/2026: Great little place, good value, service and food. You get server a little green tea as soon as you sit down, which is a great gesture which you don't often see done, making browsing the menu and eventually ordering all the more pleasant

27/10/2026: Nice place for a ramen . Staff are accomodating. service is fast enough even the place was busy we’ve got served in a good time . The green curry and yakisoba are good choices too.

26/10/2026: The food was excellent, lots of choice & good quality. Our kids had lots of choice too. The service, although attentive, I felt we were being rushed, even though it was not very busy. The restaurant ambience is nice, but the music was too loud and was tuning in and out, which I found annoying.

19/10/2026: Food is good but they add a 10% service charge without any reference to it anywhere. This was during lunch on a party of 4 so hardly a difficult seating. Very very disappointing to see this, i have eaten many times at various Musashi restaurants and not had this elsewhere- I do usually tip but i find it very distasteful that it is added without mentioning it to the customer and has put me off ever returning

10/10/2026: Delish! Food was great, service was excellent. No complaints!

10/09/2026: Ordered on Deliveroo - food took ages to arrive. Portions were average and food arrived cold. Wouldn’t bother again

09/09/2026: They have a vegan AND gluten free ramen, I get it every time I’m in Dublin. It’s hard to find this kind of option everywhere. It’s very good, tasty veggies, flavourful broth, vermicelli noodles that aren’t overcooked (like other places I have had). The server made sure to tell the cook it was gluten free, I heard her say it 4 times. Definitely recommend to others!

29/09/2026: This is the place you want to go to if you want sushi. The food is amazing, high-quality stuff that will make you feel great.

02/09/2026: Sushi delicious, rice nicely cooked as it should be. My only issue is the olace is small so eat in feels cramped and there is bit of smell from the kitchen. Food great, atmosphere not

05/11/2026: Ordered from them tonight tempura rice was cold and soggy and so small portion wise barely any tempura. The teppenyaki was approximately €25 for two slithers and a side of half a tub of rice extremely expensive for the size and quality

27/10/2026: This is our go to spot in Cork city. Always great food, freshly prepared, served by friendly staff. I love the veggie Bento. Great value too. What more can you ask for.

23/09/2026: Excellent food with dinner priced at same level as wraps/sandwiches and coffee. Good value for money & reliability of quality food. There is no place better within 15 mins drive for lunch value.

16/09/2026: At the most part. Lovely place. Sure. The location now. With the hotel Nextdoor. And the situation. Not so much fun. However. The place is lovely. Amazing food. Great service Just. Some items can be a bit to pricey. Order veggie egg roll. 10Euro for 2. Way pricey.

08/10/2026: Sharing happy moments over a delicious bowl of ramen 🥰

24/09/2026: We used to order spicebags here regularly as the quality was consistently good. It was our favourite takeaway and couldn’t recommend it enough. A few weeks ago, I missed the time to order, so ordered from another Japanese restaurant. I was really impressed but always made a note to order off Izumi as it’s our favourite. The past few times we’ve ordered, the quality has dropped. This evening, we ordered a spice bag and satay sauce, the spicebag had lots of veg which was nice, the chicken was a good portion but it was extremely salty to the point it was hard to enjoy. The satay sauce was half filled and had a thick layer of oil on top. We were trying to soak up the excess oil with tissues but eventually scooped it off with a spoon (I’ve attached photos) The staff are so lovely to deal with but it’s just disappointing how much the quality in the food has dropped

14/10/2026: I ordered this teppan beef teriyaki and it was absolutely delicious, the service was great and servers were very nice. Would recommend if you want to try some Japanese cuisine.

23/09/2026: Amazing food! The veggie red curry with cashew is incredible

17/09/2026: Superb Ramen and I think its my favourite ramen in Dublin. I had the Butter Chicken Ramen and a homemade raspberry kombucha. The two lads serving us where absolutely sound. Highly recommended 👌

31/08/2026: Cozy atmosphere, wonderful food, and perfect wait time 👏🏻!! I recommend it 👍🏻😋

24/10/2026: Top quality. Ultra-fast service and fresh ingredients. Very generous portions. 100% recommended for Japanese food lovers.

20/10/2026: The vegan and vegetarian food was quite bland, little tofu and lots of raw unsalted vegetables and soy sprouts, seemed like a diet salad. You can try making some curry ramen, that would be much tastier.
