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.

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.

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 didnāt 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 heād delivered it to āsome lady,ā offering no apology. He first said heād 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. Iād like to speak to the owner about this. Overall, terrible service and foodāavoid unless they improve.
25/03/2025: Food is one of the best . Everything is delicious and would highly recommend.

The Square Bar
Portlaoise
12/09/2025: amazing bar and mark the bouncer is a lovely guy
02/07/2025: Usually have a great time in Square bar and always a top spot to go to but last night(28th June) the bouncer was being in the nicest way possible a complete fool. He said I had tracksuit bottoms on when they were clearly jeans and couldn't let me get a single word in and told me to "buzz off" and go another direction, was calling my friends inside then to tell them I wasnāt let in and then while I was on call he was proceeding to let lads in with cargos on and it just seemed like he had a personal vendetta against me for no reason. After I ended my call he then said āok from a distance it looked like you had tracksuit bottoms on but thereās no need to be cheekyā dunno how thatās possible when he didnāt even let me speak but alright.
