Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Ashbourne

"Zakura is located on two hidden locations in the city centre, but once you found it you’ll be sure to enjoy it. On TripAdvisor people talk about Zakura as a “hidden gem”. Try their Bento Box, which is very reasonably priced and great for lunch."

"While Kimchi Hophouse is a Korean restaurant, it offers some really great sushi. With fresh ingredients and amazing staff, you know that you're in for a delicious meal if you visit this Parnell Street restaurant. Kimchi Hophouse definitely offers some of the tastiest sushi in Dublin, so if you haven't visited yet, then you need to go ASAP."

"This Korean and Japanese gem has been a secret to many for a long time, but with more and more awards decorating the walls, it seems most food lovers in the city are now wise to this spot. Tucked away on Parnell Street, this unassuming restaurant is well worth a visit."

"Situated in the Temple Bar neighbourhood of Dublin in the beating heart of the city, Banyi Japanese Dining serve up mouth-watering sushi rolls and sashimi at a price that won’t break the bank. They are also known for their excellent vegan menu. The location makes Banyi Japanese Dining the perfect spot for dinner for those who work in the centre of the city."

"The Temple Bar area isn’t exactly known for its first-rate dining options, but there are a few winners in among the tourist-trap bars. Banyi is one of the city’s best sushi spots – it’s unpretentious, casual and reasonably priced. The tempura prawn and avocado roll is a winner, and their sashimi is quiveringly fresh."

"If there's one restaurant we could eat at every single day of our lives, it's Banyi. The food is incredible and the staff is really lovely. It is hands down one of our favourite Japanese restaurants in Dublin."

"Michie Sushi is a gorgeous family-run business with three locations in Dublin, as well as sushi bars in Avoca Rathcoole and Kilmacanogue. The sushi here has won many hearts, including ours, and the service is so good that you'll always leave with a smile on your face. View this post on Instagram"

"Started off as one little place down an alleyway in Ranelagh but they have been on a massive expansion push lately with a bunch of new premises. If anything this shows just how popular sushi is becoming in Dublin."

"The restaurant first opened as a takeaway in Ranelagh in 2007 before growing in popularity and eventually establishing two other locations in Sandyford and Dun Laoghaire."

"The simple yet elegantly beautiful interior of Aoki Sushi Noodle Bar is a perfect reflection of the food on offer. They offer a wide range of excellent nigiri, sushi, and sashimi at very reasonable prices, and accommodate BYOB for wine only for a corkage fee of €6. Location: Unit 4, 63 Richmond Street, Saint Kevin’s, Dublin"

"Tokyo Kitchen is one of Dublin's best-kept secrets, serving up the freshest sushi in the city from their little spot on Bow Lane. Brought to you by the people behind Kish Fish, Tokyo Kitchen offers generous food at reasonable prices, so it's well worth a visit. View this post on Instagram"

"They are a big UK chain with outlets in Dundrum and just beside Brown Thomas in town. Although we'd always champion the independent in Dublin, you have to say that their sushi is well worth making the list. Pick what you want from conveyor belts but do watch what you eat as you can easily tally up a huge bill in here."

"Mimicking American diners of the 1950s, Irish retro-restaurant chain Eddie Rocket’s does dessert better than any of its rivals. Their chocolate brownies and cookie sliders are widely celebrated, but their milkshakes and malts made with premium dairy ice cream could qualify as desserts in and of themselves – the imaginative menu blends heavenly flavours like Kinder Bueno, Oreo cookie and Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup."

"Sure it's a burger joint, but I think Eddie does a decent burger – and the milkshakes are the best in the land. Kids are king in this place, with colouring books, kids' menu and a gift on leaving. The menu is more of a treat, but the music and speed of service sometimes makes this the best choice."

"The restaurant is hidden behind a Korean supermarket so make sure to venture into this unfamiliar territory if you are in the neighbourhood. It’s very close to the centre, located on Great Strand Street, close to Liffey River and it’s a rave among the Asian community in Dublin (I initially heard about the place from my Taiwanese friends) so you know that the flavours are as authentic as possible. Apart from being heavenly delicious, the place is ridiculously cheap, I had a kimchi fried rice for just €6.50."

"Dublin 1It doesn’t look like much from the outside… just a run-of-the-mill Korean grocery store on a quiet side street. But right at the back is a tiny little restaurant serving up the best Korean food in Dublin (and at a bargain of a price, too). It’s more of a canteen -- don’t dawdle when you’re ordering and grab the first seat you see."

"Rathfarnham Castle is the earliest known example of a fortified house in Ireland. Originally built around 1583, the castle has been owned largely by the Loftus family, and now serves as the Office of Public Works. Guided tours of the castle are still available, and afterwards, you can relax at the Stuart and Chambers tearooms or check out an exhibition, which is currently Tread Softly, a work of celebrated Irish artist Michelle Rogers."

"Many of the best castles near Dublin have a stony gray appearance because they date back to medieval times. Grand Rathfarnham Castle is different because it dates back to Elizabethan times. The building is the earliest example of a fortified house in Ireland and was constructed around the time of the Norman invasion."

"It was built for Archbishop Adam Loftus, a Yorkshire man who came to Ireland as Lord Deputy. He would eventually become Lord Chancellor of Ireland and was heavily- involved in the opening of Trinity College. The castle is now open as The Office of Public Works."

"The extraordinarily preserved yet little-visited ruins of Cistercian Bective Abbey are off the R161, 7km northeast of Trim. Founded by Murchadh O'Melaghin, King of Meath, in 1147, the abbey was confiscated by Henry VIII between 1536 and 1541 to fund his military campaign. Like Trim Castle, Bective Abbey also played a starring role in the film Braveheart. The evocative ruins are free to visit and are open round the clock; there's a small car park next to the site."

"The countless sculptures and statues dotted around the cobbled streets of Dublin make for the perfect embellishments – we especially love the Famine Memorial sculpture in the Dublin city docklands and the statue of Countess Markievicz (the first woman elected to the British House of Commons) on Tara Street. But our ultimate pick has to be the bronze statue of the eponymous, mysterious heroine of “Molly Malone”, a traditional Irish ballad of uncertain origins and Dublin city’s unofficial anthem. Molly, who “wheels her wheelbarrow” in the centre of Dublin’s Georgian Quarter, draws hordes of tourists with a love for Irish folklore her way on the daily."

"Stop Five: Molly Malone Statue and O’Neill’s Pub Back inside the walls of Dublin, are two landmarks worth visiting during your 2 days in Dublin itinerary. The first is the statue of the mysterious but very popular Irish personality, Molly Malone, located on Grafton Street. Molly’s background is obscure at best."
