Wabisabi
Cork
17/11/2024: We've been going here for years and recently came to use up a voucher. We haven’t been in a while and were shocked by the hefty price increases—around 23% across the menu in the last 11 months. The vegetarian ramen is now €16, and the chicken katsu curry a whopping €20.50.
We understand the impact of inflation, high energy costs, and the end of tax relief, and we recognize that businesses must pass these costs onto customers. However, compared to countries like Italy, Germany, and Japan, the prices here seem unreasonable, and we’ve decided not to return. We just came back from a trip to Japan, where we paid a maximum of €8-max. 10€ for vegetarian ramen, €12 for pork ramen, and €10 for chicken katsu in the so-called "expensive" Japan. Prices included drinks..
As for the taste, we might have been spoiled by Japan, but the ramen lacked flavor and protein (it had two tiny pieces of tofu), though the curry sauce from the katsu was good, but the price just leaves a bitter taste.
Service was fine.
So overall, if you don’t mind paying absolutely astronomical prices for dinner, you’ll have a decent time. We’d rather save that money for a trip instead.
17/11/2024: Authentic Japanese cuisine in Cork. The udon dashi base soup has all the umami flavor you'd expect. The curry chicken udon is savory but the portion size is possibly smaller for the value. Sushi portions are decent and good value. They have all of the traditional dishes from noodle soups, fried yaki noodles, rice dishes, curry rice, bento box meals, and specials. Vegetable tempura portions could be better as far as portion to tempura batter.

Dashi

02/10/2024: The food was lovely, I had a Japanese style chicken curry with rice. Plenty of veg and sauce in the curry, not much meat though. The service was relatively quick. The price was ok too. I couldn't help but notice that everything in the seating area, which was covered in soft cushions and throws for a cosy feel, needed a good old washing. The floors also were in need of a good steam clean / degreasing. Nice place overall, with a bit of better maintenance on the cleaning side would go a long way.
17/09/2024: Really delicious and authentic sushi which are served in a cozy and friendly place. Enj,oed every single bite. Strongly recommend.

Highly recommend

25/11/2024: That sounds like quite an unpleasant experience. How about this for a review:
---
**Rating: ★☆☆☆☆**
I visited the restaurant at 19:15 and noticed that there were 11 other diners present. Eight of them were finishing their mains, while a couple had just received their appetizers. Despite being seated quickly, things went downhill from there.
It took 15 minutes for someone to take my drinks order, which then failed to arrive. I waited an additional 8-12 minutes, but it seemed like the staff were more interested in answering the phone and handling delivery orders than attending to the customers who were physically present.
It felt like customers in the restaurant were an afterthought, which is not acceptable. I won't be recommending
24/11/2024: Este solía ser uno de mis lugares favoritos en Cork. Sin embargo, realmente ha ido cuesta abajo.
Traje a mi pareja que estaba de visita de Noruega para la cena, super emocionado de mostrarles uno de mis lugares favoritos.
Llegamos temprano por la noche y el lugar era muy tranquilo.
Había un olor a aguas residuales que venía del lado del baño del restaurante que era muy fuerte, la iluminación también era muy sucia, pero bueno, estas cosas pasan al menos la comida estará buena, ¿verdad?
Me equivoqué, conseguí el curry katsu y honestamente podría haberlo hecho mejor yo mismo en casa. Arroz simple con una salsa de curry triste y acuosa y un plato de col rallada sin condimentar.
Compañero tenía fideos y eran como si los hubieras conseguido de un lugar chino barato, salado y salsa de soja y poco más.
Estaba bastante molesto, ya que solía amar este lugar y se lo había construido a mi pareja.
Desafortunadamente ha pasado de un lugar de 5 estrellas a un 2 estrellas para mí.

Michie Sushi
Dublin
23/11/2024: Wow, amazing sushi. The miso soup is great too. Would recommend to anyone who likes Japanese food. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food too. There is no vegan menu but the menu does clearly indicate allergens so you can work out what is vegan this way.
12/11/2024: Chirashi was dry and bland. The yaki soba was tasteless and wet. Everything could have been better.

Osaka
Ennis
23/11/2024: We visited Osaka on my friend’s birthday. I loved the food, we ordered sushi sets: spider, rainbow, salmon avocado and salmon cucumber. It was delicious! I recommend Osaka restaurant to everyone!
15/11/2024: Stop buying food here, the manager of this restaurant is Chinese and they always take in homeless people so they don’t have to pay high wages. The workers here are completely uneducated. Request the police to get involved.

Tomodachi
Galway
01/11/2024: So nice i went in the evening and the atmosphere was so calm. The food was delicious and i can't wait to come back at try more options. The staff were super kind and after giving the food they left you alone. All round it's a lovely place that looks stunning. I do think there are other sushi restaurants that are better, however you won't be disappointed.
30/10/2024: After visiting this establishment we felt unwell and we got food poisoning.
The food in this establishment was normal but I would not advise you to order sashimi in this establishment because we ordered oysters we got worms and when we tried to take a photo of them they took away our plate and offered us another portion instead, to which I asked if this portion would be free, to which we were told that yes, this portion had a worm and the new one would be free, they brought a portion of new oysters which we refused for obvious reasons and when they transferred the check to us and we saw oysters in them, to which we politely approached and said that we would not pay for them, since we did not touch them and we were not pleased to eat them because of the worm, to which we were told that I had to pay for the bottom because the chef opened them and when explaining the situation the waiters stood and laughed. If you want to spoil your mood after a walk along the Galway, you can safely come to this eatery

Honkaku Sushi & Thai Restaurant
Dublin
17/11/2024: This place has really gone down hill over the last year. Badly made sushi, sub standard wok dishes. Sad, it used to be great. Hardly better than a bog standard Chinese takeaway now.
27/10/2024: Food is always great, our go to take away.

Maneki
Dublin
08/11/2024: I would strongly advise against booking here. I was charged a 100€ deposit when making a reservation, with the promise that it would be refunded within 4-5 days after my visit. It’s now been over three weeks, and despite multiple follow-ups, I still haven’t received my money back.
Each time I reach out, they offer empty apologies and assurances—but nothing actually gets done. For a restaurant that charges premium prices, this level of service is completely unacceptable. I expected basic professionalism, not to be strung along with excuses.
This experience has been both frustrating and disappointing, and until they show real accountability in handling customer deposits, I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone.
06/11/2024: The food was good although I found beef teriyaki a bit dry.

KYOTO
Clonmel
03/11/2024: This place used to be very good..
The dish I got last night was not cooked fresh (chicken massaman) and the chicken itself was not soft and tender. Rice is very cheap and the tiny little bowel I got was very sticky.. I wrote a very positive review about this place 4 years ago..
I certainly won't be back..
20/10/2024: Rude Workers, rushing to finish food all the times I have been in here. Would not go back again

Ichigo Ichie
Cork
10/11/2024: Delicious food and wine.Attentive and friendly staff. Good range of menu options and great value for the quality of the food.
26/10/2024: Very cute restaurant with a lot of potential. However for a Saturday night it was disappointing to have 2 of the specials unavailable at 19:30. Food was a bit overpriced, specially the grilled salmon with rice for €21. Service was very okay.
It could become a great place

Yummy Noodle Box
Dublin
08/11/2024: Food is always unreal, staff are so lovely and the order is bang on every time
17/10/2024: Worst spicebag ever. Only chicken and chips, no seasoning, spice or veg. Embarrassing
