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!

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

13/05/2026: We had an absolutely brilliant experience at Tippenyaki in Rathmines for my son’s Communion. The food and service were excellent from start to finish, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special family celebration. The staff went above and beyond to make a big deal of my son on the day, which meant so much to us. They even allowed him to stand behind the counter and join in on the live cooking show with all of the children and adults watching — he absolutely loved it and it made the day unforgettable. A huge thank you to all the team for making the occasion so special. We will definitely be back!

10/05/2026: Nice service and good food, and we appreciated that the staff tried to handle a very loud group during the evening. Unfortunately, the noise level throughout the restaurant was overwhelming. We could barely hear each other and had to shout just to have a conversation. Our ears were aching by the end of the meal. Sadly, our children — including one who is particularly sensitive to noise found the experience very distressing. It really spoiled what could otherwise have been a lovely evening. Such a pity, because the food and service were genuinely good.

16/05/2026: This is an absolute hidden gem. Authentic, flavourful, and incredible service. 10/10

16/05/2026: A great place for a hearty warm meal after a long day in the big bustling city of dublin. Each time I come it keeps dublin and dublin in size. Big portions, great menu, lovely staff and my steak donburi was delicious. Even birthday boy Matt got a bday cake brought out by the staff that we'd got him earlier. He's 23 today and doesn't look a day over 22. Great food 10/10 recommend 5* wagwan

08/05/2026: Everything was great, and the waiters were very friendly.

11/04/2026: Great restaurant to go to! Sushi options were good. Usually go for the make your own futomaki which is very worth it with great portion size. Able to pick what you like as well! Very full and pack restaurant and may need to queue during peak hours.

09/04/2026: The quality of the food you get for this price is bonkers! There's almost always a line, but don't let this scare you off. It's worth the wait. I ate here twice when I was on vacation here in Dublin. That should say enough.

07/05/2026: We had a great experience with really good Pad Thai. The Sushi was okay but nothing to special. Service was really friendly and we got our food fast. Didn’t had to wait for a table but might be a good idea to have a reservation on the weekend.

06/05/2026: All is very tasty. Took 3 miso soup.

25/02/2026: My experience was awesome. The service was excellent and the atmosphere, the food. Everything. Loved it

16/02/2026: Worst chicken katsu curry I've ever had, period! Must have been a third of a chicken breast, battered out so thin that you aren't getting a decent portion. Where was the sauce? The little that was there was very, very bland! Even store-bought katsu sauces have 10x more flavour than that. Tiny portion of rice, too. Underwhelming garnish. Just a complete waste of money. Atmosphere is alright, tables are a little too close together. There was one staff member there who, despite us being the only customers ordering at the time, took a long time to take our order. Maybe some other dishes are good, but that katsu curry - please stay away from it is my advice.

10/05/2026: Great atmosphere and service! The karaoke room is super well kept. The gentleman’s that work here are super nice and helpful too! John was great! Super recommend!

09/05/2026: Loved the opportunity to get to sing badly with my friends, would recommend to for a group of friends!
