Will need to slip in at least one more time before I head home to Texas. Thanks to chefs Allen and Rod for the tasty sushi!!! Cheers! Bernie

28/07/2026: Great place! The food is sooooo delicious and the staff is really friendly and polite. We even arrived 30 min before they even opened and they still served us. Very great!

28/07/2026: The food (sushi, gyoza) was so good that I was tempted to leave a bad review – hoping I'd still be able to get a table next time. All joking aside: It was fantastic, highly recommended!

26/01/2026: Went looking for this place on Saturday and it's closed down

24/01/2026: Went there today to try and get some of my favourite chocolate cake but they were closed. Does anyone know if they've closed their doors?

12/07/2026: Lovely food and friendly helpful staff

11/07/2026: ★★★★★ Fantastic Japanese dining experience in Terenure! The sushi and sashimi were beautifully presented, fresh and full of flavour, paired perfectly with an ice-cold Asahi. Great atmosphere, attentive service and excellent quality throughout. Tani | Japanese Restaurant is definitely a place I’ll return to. Highly recommended! 🍣🍺🇯🇵

18/08/2026: The food was very good and of very good quality, we loved it!!! 👌❤️

18/08/2026: A surprise! The service, the quality of the food, and the excellent value for money. It's a simple, unpretentious place but the food is very good. We'll definitely be back!

13/08/2026: Great food. Good service. The restaurant is very noisy

07/08/2026: Read this if you’re from Canada 🚨 Cali rolls at home are $6 - here they’re £17.50 😭 and they’re the worst thing I’ve ever had. There was a literal crab shell in the roll, I thought I broke a tooth. The gyoza are so small it’s laughable and they’re also insanely expensive. I need to stop trusting the high reviewed places because they have been the worst I’ve been to in all of Ireland. Can’t trust the Irish judgement clearly.

14/08/2026: Far too many chips, 3 muscles and maybe 5 prawns, cajun was v v spicy ! Fried lobster!

13/08/2026: We received excellent service and the food was delicious.

13/08/2026: You get what you pay for (tasteless sushi)

13/08/2026: I had a fantastic meal at this spot on Abbey Street. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and tasted just as good as it looked. The sushi was a real highlight, especially the rolls topped with bright orange roe. The sashimi was perfectly sliced and served on a nice bed of shredded garnish. I will definitely be back.

30/07/2026: Amazing and high quality food! The service was even better, such friendly people!

17/07/2026: Ordered a delivery and the sushi was super fresh and tasty especially the raw rolls.

10/08/2026: If you’re hungry, do yourself a favor: DO NOT ORDER FROM Wasabi Grill unless you’re planning to have your meal tomorrow. I placed my order at 10:13 PM. It is now 12:13 AM TWO HOURS later!!!! and I’m still waiting for my food. Let’s be realistic: it does not take two hours to prepare a steak, rice and beans. This isn’t fine dining, and I certainly didn’t order a five-course tasting menu prepared by a Michelin-starred chef. Waiting two hours for a simple meal is completely unacceptable. This is NOT the first time this has happened. I should have learned my lesson by now, but I gave Wasabi Grill another chance. That was my mistake. However, the biggest mistake is still theirs: taking orders they clearly cannot handle, giving customers no proper updates, and leaving people waiting for hours as if their time doesn’t matter. Being busy is understandable. Making customers wait TWO HOURS without properly communicating what is happening is not. People order food because they are hungry. If your kitchen and delivery operation cannot handle the orders you accept, then stop taking them. It’s that simple. At this point, I’m not even sure if I’m waiting for dinner or breakfast. Maybe by the time it arrives, I’ll just call it tomorrow’s lunch. Absolutely disrespectful to customers and completely unacceptable service. Wasabi Grill Dublin, if it takes you two hours to make a steak, rice and beans, you seriously need to rethink how you’re running your operation. Never again.

09/08/2026: so yummy :) i think they made it fresh - so you have to wait a little

21/07/2026: Excellent place! I had a delicious curry at a very reasonable price. The setting was pleasant and the welcome was warm. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend this restaurant.

09/07/2026: I've always loved this restaurant and have been here many times. Tonight I brought my mum and my fiancé. We arrived at 8:50 pm and were told the kitchen closed at 10 pm, which was absolutely fine. We would never take that long to order, so it seemed like an unnecessary warning. The food was delicious as always, but the service felt very rushed from the moment we sat down. I understand the staff wanted to finish for the night, although we left well before closing time, so it didn't feel very welcoming. What disappointed me most was the mandatory 10% service charge. The waitress handed me the card machine so quickly that I only noticed the extra charge on the bill after I had paid. I thought this only applied to large tables, and I've never seen it happen here before. I usually tip, but based on tonight's service, I wouldn't have left 10%, and I wasn't given a choice. Having the charge added without it being pointed out was just as disappointing as the service.
