10 Best Japanese Restaurants In Dublin, Ireland - Updated 2021
"Next on our list is Zakura Noodle & Sushi, a cosy yet elegant Japanese restaurant that serves up delicious sushi along with their outstanding ramen menu. With a relaxing, traditional Japanese-style interior, this restaurant is a refuge from the bustling crowds outside. What’s more, Zakura Noodle & Sushi offer a BYOB service for €6 corkage per bottle of wine."
"Amazing Korean food may not be something you’d expect to find in a traditional Irish pub, yet Kimchi Hophouse is not only Ireland’s oldest Korean restaurant but also arguably the best. Opened in 2005, this pub serves up a lunch menu featuring classic dishes like bulgogi, kimchi stew and spicy chilli pork for just €10 (£8.94), and the staff is happy to explain which dishes can accommodate vegetarians. For dinner, the Korean Tapas menu is brimming with reasonably priced delights such as pumpkin croquettes and deep-fried octopus."

"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."
"Starting from a small, takeaway-only location in Dublin’s Ranelagh neighbourhood in 2007, Michie Sushi has since expanded to four locations across the city, thanks in no small part to its focus on serving up the highest-quality sushi to the people of Dublin. The origin of Michie Sushi’s name reveals a lot about the restaurant chain’s ethos:. ‘The word Michie in Japanese means “filled with smiles and laughter”."
"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."
"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."
"I'm sure you've eaten in one of the Yamamori branches at some point in your life but let me tell you a secret. The Yamamori Izakaya Sake Bar on George's Street is by far the best of all. They specialise in unfussy Japanese food."
"Everything about Yammers screams 'Instagram me". Dragon murals, enormous buddha statues, Japanese lanterns and more mouth-watering Japas than you can shake a chopstick at."
"Either upstairs or down in the basement you will get some awesome sushi. Huge team of chefs make it upstairs along with great dumplings and other Asian treats."
"This cozy restaurant has delicious food and generous portions that satisfy their customers. They also have a great selection of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, which people love. Their customers come from every part of town to taste their food."
"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."

"The buses will take you past the major sights and, depending on which tour you choose (grab some leaflets the evening before or do some research on the internet), even far-flung attractions like the Guinness Brewery, Kilmainham Gaol, and Phoenix Park will be seen. The main thing to remember here: get a good seat on top, enjoy the view, listen to the commentary, and snap away... but do not get off the bus. This is your city tour."
"This atmospheric Indonesian restaurant is one of my favourite places for a romantic dinner. Make sure to ask for a table upstairs in their ‘Bali room’, adorned with Balinese decorations, where guests sit comfortably around low tables. The chameleon specialises in rijst-tafel (rice-table), where staff light hot plates on your table and several small dishes are brought to you at the same time."
"what’s more romantic than getting dressed up and strolling around dublin’s temple bar?. run by husband and wife team carol and kevin, chameleon restaurant serves up contemporary indonesian cuisine with warm irish hospitality. guests can fully trust the staff recommendations in this restaurant – they know their stuff!"
