47 Best Japanese Restaurants near Dublin

“I cannot recommend Song Lan more! I cannot believe this evening was my first time stopping in. I’ve been meaning to check it out for quite some time. However, I organized a meetup for dinner at North Market before a comedy show in Bridge Park and North Market was unexpectedly closed for a private event. A friend and I went separate ways to find a place that could get 10 of us in last minute. The staff was so kind and sat us in a beautiful back room. Our waitress was so kind, the atmosphere was perfect, and the food was out of this world amazing! Cannot wait to go back!“

“We really enjoyed our dinner for my son's birthday! Food was delicious. They were short staffed, but our server was so kind. She even brought a treat for my son's birthday. Cute cozy space. We loved Mr. Sushi.“

“My husband and I went for his 40th birthday. We've been looking for a place to get some authentic Japanese food, and we finally found it. He got the okonomiyaki (so incredibly hard to find in the states) and I got the pork katsu dinner. Best katsu I've had in the states! I cannot gush enough about how good the food was. The staff were diligent and attentive, service was timely, and atmosphere was bright and clean. 10 out 10, would recommend“

“Yummy roll and crazy tuna roll :)“

“Always extremely delicious food! The people are amazing! They are always very nice and if you ask politely you can get some extra sauce on your meal! Every time my wife and I come to the mall, we eat here. This place definitely beats out the other places around the food court.“

“Came in today for a late lunch before driving back home to the Youngstown area. I eat here maybe 5-8 times a year depending on my travel schedule and Kyoto has never let me down...today was simply another great meal. Splurged with the Fillet and Scallop Combo with the egg yolk sauce for the scallops and it was all cooked perfectly.“

“First time at a House of Japan. It was Expensive but good quality and portion. The show was nice and the chef engaged with the patrons. I love when bean sprouts are in season they are my favorite hibachi vegetable. The protein is cooked like requested and is seasoned well. The yum yum has almost no flavor so I'll pass on that next time. But If you want a happy birthday or anything for the bday patron, it's all extra $$ even if you just want a song. The children were entertained for being so young but overall it was a good experience. Oh the bathrooms are cleanly and nice too.“

“Food was yummyyyyyyy!!!!“

“We (5 people) ate an early dinner here yesterday. Nice ambiance. We tried a large selection: edamame, ebi shumai, salmon onigiri, fried squid, ebi tempura, miso ramen, chicken katsu bento box, tonkotsu ramen, teriyaki don, red bean ice cream and sasadango. Everything was delicious. Our youngest liked it so much, we’re coming back for their birthday. Our server Natalie was wonderful also.“

“The sushi is amazing! We order plenty of sushi and other dishes. The fish is so fresh! High quality sushi!“

“The ambiance is a little to be desired but the food was fabulous!“

“We love Kirin. The food is delicious every time. The Karaage Ramen is AMAZING seriously fried chicken in a soup?? What could be better?? Also the service...it's so rare these days to go somewhere with young staff members who actually care about their job. We always appreciate how hard they work.“

“Great food with large portions. Service was excellent and most importantly the place was very clean!“

“phenomenal food. great atmosphere“

“This was our first time there and, Oh My Goodness, was it amazing! The portions were great, we ended up with some to take home. My spouse and I both had Tonkotsu Ramen. I had mine with Katsu pork and my spouse had beef and onions. We also had an order of the pan fried Gyoza and Taiyaki. Everything was so delicious! The Gyoza were just the right mix of crispy and tender. The Taiyaki was a nice sweet treat and the Ramen was a beautiful blend of flavors, rich, and creamy, and savory. I didn't ask, but the noodles taste homemade. We plan to return in the near future.“

“We went for a late lunch early dinner and the prices were really good. The food was good, the chef very personable, the atmosphere could've been better. Unfortunately, some parents just allow their children to run around, yelling and goofing off. Definitely a lack of parenting! It was the only negative.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The food at Domo is excellent! Sushi is fresh and tasty, menu is creative, and the atmosphere is fun! We recently celebrated there with a big group, and everyone raved about the food and had such a great time. Staff was attentive and friendly too! So happy we chose Domo!“

“Service was kind, quick, accurate. the atmosphere was very chill. The food was immaculate. Great prices too! Will definitely come again!!“

“Delicious. Love everything!“

“I love the lady at the front - she's phenomenal ☺️ this place has the best rice -lawwwwddd it's cooked just right - they are literally the best hibachi place I've had in a while !! 5stars ! ( Try it you will NOT regret it )“

“Went for lunch had the steak and shrimp it was very tasty. I could take or leave the yum yum. The ginger sauce was delicious. But the food was so good it didn't need any sauce. The portions are huge. Also had the crab rangoons they were delicious too.“

“We were blown away by the quality of the sushi and the exceptional service at Sushi Factory. The staff were friendly and very attentive, and the food was truly exceptional. We will be recommending this spot to everyone we know! We have been going here for years but things have gotten EVEN better and the food was beyond delicious. Highly recommended!!! 10/10!“

“The bubble tea is so yummy!! I'm always here 😊 usually once a week“

“Everything we have tried has been fantastic. We’ve only ordered takeout so I can only imagine it would be even better in house. Their rolls, hibachi and rock shrimp are sooo good!! Will definitely be giving Oishii our business again and again.“

“No se eeekdjdbebevevenebbeb“

“Absolutely amazing food and the sushi is the best I’ve had by far.“

“The service is incredible, and the choices ARE AMAZING!“

“The onigiri is absolutely amazing, everything is flavorful and beautifully proportioned. Love the extra mile that they do to for carry out packaging. Very authentic flavors.“

“Love this place. Highly recommend the shrimp gyoza and pineapple sticky rice. Everything here is great though.“

“First time dining. Crab Rangoon was incredible. Mongolian Beef Delish and Seaweed Cucumber Salad was fantastic. Generous portions“

“My son and I visited this location this past Sunday, and we were not disappointed. All the dishes we had were wonderful. This was some of the best asian cuisine we have had in quite sometime. Nothing was greasy or overly salty. It was also one of the better restaurant experiences we have had in a few months. The staff was friendly and attentive.“

“Went here for a company lunch outing and overall had a great experience. The food and service were both solid—our party of 8 was well taken care of, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Our chef was friendly and entertaining, doing all the classic hibachi tricks and gags. While not quite as impressive as some chefs I've seen at other Japanese steakhouses, he still made it fun. The only downside was that they were actively training staff at the table directly behind us during our lunch, which felt a bit out of place and slightly distracting. Otherwise, a good spot for group dining.“

“I ordered Ninja House Hibachi Express online and headed over to pick it up, blissfully unaware that the entire area had just lost power. When I walked in, the place was completely dark, the staff couldn’t see their online orders, and my food was—understandably—a mystery.

And yet… these absolute legends didn’t skip a beat. Sitting there in winter coats, in near pitch-black conditions, they still cooked my order anyway. No complaints, no hesitation—just pure, next-level customer service. If that’s not “customer first,” I don’t know what is.

And I haven’t even mentioned the food yet—which was fantastic, by the way. I was genuinely blown away by how kind, gracious, and determined the staff was. Power outage or not, they absolutely delivered. Outstanding experience all around.

Thank you!“

“I have never had anything here that wasn't delicious. Mr. Kim is absolutely exceptional! He always remembers my son and is so kind to us every single time! He was pretty busy this evening but still made the time to say Happy birthday to my kiddo and the food was still top notch. As long as Mr. Kim is there, this will remain my favorite sushi spot. 🍣“

“Soooo good! Came here before walking to Kemba for a concert! I like how Kooma is tucked away to the side. Quiet vibe, kind staff, delicious food. My friend and I were sat promptly and each ordered three rolls. All absolutely incredible! I will be back to try some of their hot items. 🤩“

“Amazing sushi and great staff! Definitely come check it out“

“Good Food.“

“Enjoyed my birthday dinner, our Chef Isaiah did a great job, food was delicious! Could have used drink refills a little more often especially with the price of drinks. It’s on the pricey end but with my birthday coupon it helped for sure. Fun special occasion dinner!“

“Excellent fresh sushi - the cherry blossom roll is my favorite! 🍣“

“Amazing food, full spectrum of Silk Road cuisines! Plan to order family style order lots of appetizers too.“

“Great place and flavorful food! First experience with the Chicken ramen and the staff was patient, accommodating and nice. Would come back again! Would love some rice noodle options though.“

“This is my go-to take out sushi spot for downtown! Everything is always tasty, comes out timely, and the staff is always friendly. I eat here at least once a month.

The only complaint I have is that the sushi portions can be unpredictable. The last few times I have went there, I have not had much fish in my sushi orders.
One of my favorite dishes is the Japanese Curry! It always hits the spot!“

“Ordered my food online. They were right about the Green Pepper Beef being spicy & numbing/tingly lol. I definitely mistook which type of pepper being used. THAT BEING SAID: 10/10 would order again. Cleared out my sinuses, had PHENOMENAL flavor, tender and perfect. Every person I told I was ordering food from Coco's told me that it was a good choice-- it was the PERFECT choice. I will be back.“

“I went to the soft opening today and was blown away with how great everything was. From friendly counter staff to beyond amazing food! I can’t wait for the Grand Opening because all of my coworkers were jealous when I brought my food back to work. Also excited to take my family there! Great job all around!“

“Delicious, Fresh and Fast!“

“Ordered some lunch. I got the Curry Rice with Chicken, Sweet n Sour Chick w Rice, Crab Rangoons and the Edamame.
Curry Rice was meh, not a whole lot of flavor. Would be nice to get extra curry sauce on side (may ask for that next time). Sweet n Sour breading was good, rice was plain. Crab Rangoon was decent, I liked the dough better than the inside. And the edamame needed some salt unless you like it plain. I’ll order something else next time but for first time eating there it was okay.“

“This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, I placed my order online and had it delivered. It was easy to place my order and I had regular updates on when my order would arrive. It was packed very securely! I was so excited about all the vegetarian options for rolls - they were all so delicious!“
