The best restaurantsof japanese in Dublin

15/08/2025: Been coming here since they open! To all Malaysian! Those cakes and tarts are so close to home!

15/08/2025: I have been coming back for the cheese tart, but I know most of my friends also love the cheese cake! Just superb!

03/11/2025: Mugi is exceptional, a very good restaurant!

03/11/2025: Mugi was our server and had excellent recommendations. Trust her to choose for you!

23/11/2025: Such a pleasant surprise! Food is delicious, warm and efficient service, cozy atmosphere. Would definitely return.

17/11/2025: Zakura on Baggot Street is a genuinely welcoming spot that stands out for both its atmosphere and its food. The staff greet you with a warm energy every time, creating a relaxed feeling that makes the whole experience even better. They check in just enough, stay attentive without hovering, and clearly take pride in making guests feel comfortable. The food is the star. The nigiri tastes fresh, clean, and carefully prepared, with each piece showing good balance between texture and flavor. Their katsu curry is rich, comforting, and full of character, with a crisp coating that holds up beautifully against the smooth curry sauce. It is the kind of dish that makes you want to return sooner than planned. One of the most impressive things is how well they accommodate people with celiac needs. The team handles requests with confidence and care, and they offer safe options that still feel thoughtful and delicious, something that can be surprisingly hard to find. Overall, Zakura combines great food with genuine hospitality, turning a simple meal into a memorable outing.

11/11/2025: Great staff very fast and kind!! Amazing food too and the cocktail prices are amazing for being in the city centre!

08/11/2025: The Absolute BEST sushi in all of Ireland! We’re here on holiday and stopped here twice! Both times were just absolutely amazing!! The fish was so fresh and flavorful!

26/10/2025: I had an excellent experience at this Japanese restaurant. The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming, and the service was outstanding throughout our visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every dish was delicious. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys authentic Japanese cuisine and great service!

25/10/2025: Extremely high prices, very small bathroom and won't let you split the bill. Not worth it.

13/11/2025: The food was very good, but unfortunately the service let the experience down. I visited last Saturday for lunch with four friends. When we received the bill, a service charge was included, which I don’t usually mind paying when the service matches the standard. I kindly asked for it to be removed, as we intended to leave a cash tip instead. However, when we left a smaller amount, the waitress commented that it wasn’t enough, which made us feel uncomfortable. When I asked why the service charge was mandatory, she explained it was because there were five of us at the table. We didn’t want to cause a scene, so we paid, but I believe service charges should always remain optional. It’s a shame, because the food was great, but the service experience would make me think twice about returning.

11/11/2025: My little son Kai 💙 Loves this restaurant. He is a little sushi monster. Kai said: “I love the food, it has amazing service, the waitresses are very kind and I get a lollipop, which makes it a 5 star service” ⭐️

08/11/2025: Today I ordered a Philadelphia roll and some plum sake. To my surprise, a fly floated to the top among the ice. The waiter took the glass and apologized, but instead of bringing me a new drink without the “extra ingredient,” they just removed the fly and brought the same glass back. I usually leave a tip, but this time the fly got it.

07/11/2025: Overall, good place to eat. Mixed opinion about dishes. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Appreciated the decor, very nice ambience. My husband loved the bento box, lots of flavor and good quantity. Not overly salty. I was looking forward to the Tatsuta Age, crispy ginger battered chicken breast with teriyaki sauce and wok-fried vegetables. The vegetables were lovely - fresh, crisp and not overcooked, but because the chicken was set on top of the veggies (a specific serving choice?), it was quite soggy on the bottom and unfortunately on the top as well due to the teriyaki sauce. I couldn't really taste any ginger either. It seemed the batter needed to be cooked longer, though the chicken seemed done; check the unaltered pics, kind of pale looking batter on edges as opposed to brown and crisp. We would probably try again, but I would personally avoid any breaded dishes.

09/11/2025: Very lovely place with amazing food and an even more amazing staff. I tried their vegetarian and salmon sushis which were super yum. Vegetarian main was also delicious. Book late night slot to enjoy a special song and guitar performance by the staff in the end. That was cherry on the cake!! Highly recommended place!

25/10/2025: The atmosphere was amazing the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was so good we’re definitely going back I recommend to you

23/11/2025: I didn't eat in the restaurant; I ordered takeout. I ordered a sushi combo, and the fish was good quality, the portion was adequate, and the price was reasonable for Dublin: €30.

19/11/2025: My wife and I had a great experience. The service was impeccable and they really know how to serve their clients. The food was delicious as well, so no complaints on that regard. We weren’t even going to order desserts but they are so attentive that we decided to try and it was good. I included a tip to show appreciation. We’re definitely going back.

10/11/2025: Delicious Japanese dishes, very polite service

10/11/2025: Excellent food in a smart buzzy restaurant with great service

06/11/2025: The food was delicious. The chicken in the ramen was a bit tough, and the two pieces of sushi smelled very strong, so I didn't eat them just to be safe. But otherwise, everything else was excellent!

28/10/2025: Very good sushi and quick service. The restaurant is a bit canteen style but quiet.

06/11/2025: friendly, cosy place with very good vegetarian ramen 🍜

05/11/2025: Ordered delivery and paid extra for faster service. Don’t do it. It won’t arrive faster. Ordered the chicken ramen and the broth that was delivered was not chicken. Dumpling ramen super good even without broth. Sadly although I requested utensils or chopsticks, it came with none. Tempura shrimp to die for!! Nutella dumplings also yummy.

24/10/2025: Great place Great staff Great food 😋

14/10/2025: Salmon cream cheese sushi was delicious. The staff were very kind and the atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy. Would go again

11/10/2025: Some of the nicest sushi I’ve ever had. You can tell it’s freshly made and excellent quality. Couldn’t recommend enough!

04/06/2025: Delicious food in a cozy place, the service was incredible as well — super quick and the server was a sweetheart. Will definitely be back!

13/10/2025: We couldn't get in, there were so many people waiting. I've got it saved in case I come back. But it looks like it must be pretty good.

11/10/2025: The food is very tasty. Seating is limited, so expect to wait.
