    We had a large group for our Christmas party, I booked this restaurant as we’ve been before with a large group and really enjoyed it. The food was great as usual but we were surprised when we got the bill at the end when we saw the 5 or 6 bowls of edamame that had been put in front of us at the start of dinner were charged at €7.50 each. We did not ask for the edamame, we were not told how much they cost and we all collectively assumed since they were put in front of us and no one asked for them they were complimentary. To be honest this just comes across as incredibly shady and left a bad taste in our mouth along with some other unnecessary confusion with the bill.

    I have been to this places several times and it probably has the best sushi in Dublin. All the japas are amazing. Very nice atmosphere, great service and cool music. I never get tired.

    Food was divine! So we’re the cocktails. Celebrated my husbands birthday and they brought out icecream to sing happy birthday. Nice touch. Staff were extremely friendly. Ebi Tempura sushi & duck pancakes were 10/10
