The best restaurantsof japanese in Cork

13/04/2025: Cosy spot, lovely staff, underwhelming food. The vegan sushi I got was nice, but the ramen was really underwhelming, literally tasted like just veg stock, with thin rice noodles, a few chunks of carrot and cabbage with crispy onions on top. I've never had trouble getting vegan ramen, and usually, it will have your staple ingredients like shiitake, nori, tofu, and more depth to the broth. Can't speak for non vegan dishes here. Again, the vegan sushi was lovely, but if you're looking for vegan ramen, this isn't the place.

21/03/2025: Food is tasty. Enjoy every time I eat there. Lovely staff members!

02/03/2025: Just very disappointing. Food is totally bland and very overpriced, staff seem embarrassed to be serving it. Having once been a very sought-after reservation in Cork, I can't believe that anyone now would come here more than once - and then only out of curiosity. €100 gone rapidly on basic student food; didn't stay around to check out desserts, we were happy to leave after 45 minutes.

23/01/2025: We ate here for a special occasion recently and didn't feel it was good value, really, or even very nice food. We had 3 courses, and the edamame beans we got as a starter were the only real veg we saw. I asked when ordering whether we should order veg on the side for our main course and were told no, but the plates were lacking. My main course was Kuro Curry - the black curry sauce was not very interesting but rich and drowned the entire plate so every bite tasted just like the first I was bored of it before I was half way through. The accompanying fermented bell pepper (yes, a veg!) was tiny in portion, less than a garnish, less than a forkful not enough to impart any flavour over the curry. My gubbeen smoked cheesecake was interesting but not really pleasing and not sweet enough to be described as dessert (throw a bit of ham in and it would have made a nice lunch). We ate using a gift voucher so blew the last of it on some warm saki which was nice but as others have noted, seems overpriced. All in all, expensive and disappointing.
