The best restaurantsof japanese in Cork

03/09/2026: An excellent little restaurant. Behind an unassuming entrance lies a rather long sliver room of Japanese dining. Without a menu too expansive they know what they are doing with each and every dish. The soba noodles are perfectly made, and have some rather unique and delicious flavours, one can be sure to find one right for their palate and mood. The smoked cheese cheesecake was truly a gem, never before have I tasted a smoked cheesecake, but it is a flavour combination which works surprisingly well. The service matches the interior design, being warm, friendly, and efficient. Nothing to complain about. The only thing I would suggest, is a nicer tea selection, although the menu of wines is expansive, and I'm sure great, for people such as myself who do not consume alcohol, fine teas can be the next best thing. As a big fan of good teas, I was a little disappointed to not see more space on the menu dedicated to them. I don't believe this should be a particularly difficult feature to implement either, as teas are small, easy to prepare and stored long. I just know I will be back here the next time I'm in Cork, and I will be excited to experience it anew.

15/08/2026: Quite reasonably priced Japanese restaurant with typical dishes. However, the menu is full of non-translated Japanese terms and there is barely an explanation of the dishes in plain English. The Michelin Bib gourmand is hardly deserved. The dishes are fine, fair enough, but there misses some more aesthetic and flavour research that would justify it fully. Last, dark point: the dining room is narrow and dark, in spite of the artificial lighting. Moreover, you'll not be placed were you wish to, even if the restaurant is almost empty. One single waitress was in charge of the service. It was hardly enough to attend every guest properly. Note that the restaurant only opens for dinner.

26/09/2025: We loved to go to Dashi and it was our go-to takeaway in COVID times. I ordered for collection on a Thursday evening at 7pm, half of the sushi options were gone and the curry and udon noodle dishes (or at least parts thereof) were heated in a microwave, and it still took them 25 minutes to put the order together. The dishes lacked veggies and where mediocre at best, and I couldn't finish the seaweed salad. Very disappointed.

18/09/2025: Visited the place just for the first time, as I saw they have a lot of great reviews, and variety of options, but unfortunately were disappointed, as many of the ingredients weren’t just included. They show in the menu that the sushi has variety of ingredients, and a lot of interesting stuff like: asparagus, chive, chilli powder, and so, but unfortunately they just used instead of the asparagus the curcumber, and we had no chives or chilli powder, although we should have had😟 Also the trout sushi we had was half raw/and half cooked👀

18/07/2026: Great take away sushi. It costs only 6€ for 6 sushi slices, perfect spot for quick lunch!

26/06/2026: Fresh, simple, healthy. I order regularly & always feel good afterwards & enjoy the fresh, simple, good quality here.
