Ramsbottoms
Portlaoise
21/09/2025: New owners have put great effort into the pub and has completely changed the atmosphere, cleaner new area out back for music and a new smoking area. Great place for a night out
09/09/2025: Quite possibly the best pub in the town. Atmosphere was amazing,
Have to say, the best part about it was Richie. Proudly nominate Richie for bar staff of the year 🙌🙌

Akayu
Portlaoise
05/09/2025: Easily the worst sushi I've ever had and I would seriously question the genuineness of the reviews here.
Happy to charge maximum price for minimum effort. Sushi was tiny, stale and in no way authentic. About a tablespoon of salmon used to fill my roll and drizzled in some translucent gunk. They ran out of spring onion so stuffed the second roll with ginger. It's simply not Japanese food.
Can see all of the above has been highlighted in previous previous reviews with no changes. It's a scam disguised as a restaurant.
24/08/2025: This unprepossessing place served me the best green curry I ever ate. All of the food was fresh and delicious.

Ruchi Restaurant Portlaoise
Portlaoise
09/04/2025: ##NO STARS
We ordered from Ruchi Portlaoise last night, and it was a disappointing experience. The delivery driver didn’t even call and gave our food to someone else in the opposite apartment. After 45 minutes of waiting, we called, and he kept repeating that he’d delivered it to ‘some lady,’ offering no apology. He first said he’d deliver replacement food tomorrow, but when we asked what we were supposed to eat at 10 PM (we ordered at 9pm) he agreed to reorder and deliver. The replacement arrived in 15 minutes, but the quality was awful. The spicy chicken wings were half-cooked, tasteless, and just dusted with chili powder. The makhani chicken had watery gravy with hard chicken pieces, and the naan was undercooked. The egg fried rice was the only decent item. I’d like to speak to the owner about this. Overall, terrible service and food—avoid unless they improve.
25/03/2025: Food is one of the best . Everything is delicious and would highly recommend.

The Make & Mark
Portlaoise
27/09/2025: The food was so delicious! I took cheese and bacon burger and was savage! And also cocktails.. no words needed, worth the price, you can actually taste the alcohol what I like. Everything was just perfect!
09/09/2025: Staff is friendly and setup is nice, food for Adults are decent, however the food you guys are serving to kids is ridiculous, kids burger bun was burnt and crumbly (not generally liked by kids) chicken goujons was so dry i had to break it apart just to find the edible bits, it's not that difficult to crumb a fresh chicken fillet rather than using frozen goujons bought from Musgraves. I don't understand why the same attention is not given to the kids food.

Mayur
Portlaoise
04/09/2025: Halal food and very nice flavors
19/08/2025: Overall the experience was very good apart from the fact that we checked their website before going down as we wanted to avail of the early bird menu but when we got there we were told it was not available. The food was top notch. The tika masala was a bit sweeter than we expected and was quite tomatoey. I had a lamb bunani which I really enjoyed. The bill was €70 euro for a starter main and a drink each which wasn't the best value in the area but the food was gorgeous and the service was very quick.
