The best restaurantsof japanese in Cork

20/10/2024: Be me. Travel alone. It's cold and a bit breezy. Do some quick googling. Realize you can't get in to the Michelin started place. Fallback and COME HERE! Be warned it will be busy. The people know about this place. The place looks a lot bigger on the outside (opposite TARDIS). Inside there might be about 8 seats. The Q is packed. Order for take away and miss out on some specials. The staff is helpful and friendly even for a foreigner like myself. I got a prawn onigiri and tantanmen. The onigiri was gigantic, and if you're not terribly hungry it might do you. The diamond was the tantanmen however. This dish was absolute gas. 🔥🔥🔥 I did cry a bit because I'll have to fly back to Cork to get this again. The atmosphere added to the dinner. I felt welcomed, like someone elses home, and home cooking. Thanks for making feel like family for the evening. Immaculate. 💙

14/10/2024: Best Katsu curry I’ve had in a long time

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.

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.

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.

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.
