    Tuna and salmon sashimi
    Briony C.

    This place might not look super appealing from the outside but inside it's lovely - traditional Japanese seating (so be prepared to sit on a wooden stool) and a nice atmosphere. We were in for a weekday lunch on a Wednesday and arrived early, within about 30 minutes the place was totally full so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're keen to eat in. (Note: they take reservations via the Yelp app, I didn't use that feature as we were already on our way but I'd recommend it if you want to guarantee a seat!). The lunch menu is pretty simple and we ended up all having bento boxes. There was one bento box listed on the menu but there was actually two available which I found a little confusing - one is simply sushi and sashimi, and then there was a hot option with beef. We all had the sushi and sashimi bento, and got a platter of sashimi to share as well (greedy!). If you want a drink it is just €1 on top of the bento price so it's a good lunch deal for just under €10 each. The food was lush - fresh, soft, succulent and delicious. I was really impressed. I normally don't really love sushi as I prefer just the fish, but the rice here was done perfectly and was really pleasant. For the price I thought the portion size was spot on, and I was comfortably full after the bento + extra sashimi (I am greedy though, you probably don't need to order any more than just the bento. Oink). I really can't fault this place - so BOOM, 5 stars.

    Food arrived! Thx Deliveroo

    First Aoki and first Deliveroo experience. 2 in 1. I had my sushi delivered at work as Deliveroo does not cover Dundrum (yet!). The delivery was right on time and the service was great. So handy too! I might pull that trick more often and pretend I did cook that dinner. Now on to the food. It was very good. The husband was all over the sashimi and he is very strict with Japanese food (being part Japanese and all). The fish was definitely fresh and the rice cooked just right. I am always a bit worried when ordering sushi - I had bad experiences - but I would recommend Aoki. The sets came with plenty of pickled ginger, little bottles of soya sauce and enough wasabi. I can't wait to try more of their menu even though it is not on the cheap side but I guess sushi in Dublin never are.

    Chicken Cha Han

    Aoki Sushi definitely deserves another star. After taking a small break from the place, I recently ordered via Deliveroo once and sat in twice for lunch. All three occasions have been just great. The food was excellent. Gyoza, California roll, Tuna Avocado roll and Chicken Cha Han. The Cha Han especially was a highlight. I just had it again today and it was delicious. I demolished it.

    Salmon sashimi and seafood futomaki from Aiko sushi
    Sorcha S.

    Two firsts for me, using Deliveroo and Aoki sushi! Really fresh ingredients, the salmon sashimi was cut a little thicker than some other places but delicious all the same. Served with two pieces of sushi and a generous helping of ginger and wasabi I'd highly recommend it. Also had the seafood futomaki , really fresh fish used and a good variety too. Only thing I didn't like was a creamy sauce they had garnished it with. Portions were really generous, larger than I expected! Wouldn't order as much the next time!

    Part of the bento box meal!

    A quiet, reasonable sushi place for lunch! I love Zakura as much as the other yuppies around Camden Street, but Aoki was such a nice change of pace! The place is small, quiet, and really nicely decorated. The staff greet you, are really nice, and thank you when you leave - even the sushi chef! Great customer service and fairly quick too! We got the daily special of gyoza bento box and veggie tempura! The veggie tempura was good, but small-ish in size compared to other restaurants. The bento box was great though - 5 pieces of gyoza, lots of noodles, 2 tuna maki pieces with golden radish(I think!), fresh salad, and soup. All for 8.50 quid, so prices are similar to other places too! I will definitely be back to get sushi rolls, but to be fair, their menu is pretty big. You'll definitely find something you're into.

    I have been several times in Aoki Sushi for lunch and diner. The service is very good, they are always very nice and the price are reasonable. As a sushi lover, it is an very good place to have a meal. Also, I Checked in on Yelp and as a reward I got a green tea drink. I will go back in Aoki Sushi very soon !

    This truly is a hidden jem tucked away in the heart of the city. It's salmon/avocado sushi is to die for. With a side of pork dumplings I can see how this restaurant gets its name - everything is A-Okay. The staff are very friendly. Overall I give this restaurant a 10/10 as its my favourite to date.

    Lunch Bento Deal

    I have to update my previous rating with another star.. The more I eat out in Dublin - the more I realise that this place deserves 5 stars! I keep coming back and it is the most affordable, best quality japanese food I know of in central Dublin and their Service is ultra fast! You can also order via just.eat or deliveroo and it doesn't affect the quality at all.. Still great sushi :)

The ambiance of the restaurant felt authentic. From the art to the decor to the serving trays/dishes and utensils. The restaurant has a nice intimate feel like you're having dinner with your family. We were seated quickly and our server was attentive and helpful. We all started off with the sake pornstar martini. It was really good, a bit on the sweeter side. For all appetizers we had the edamame and gyoza. The gyoza included chicken and a nice sauce. It was a nice size portion (~6-7 pieces). Both were really good. For our main dish we had the Kimchi ramen, Maneki yaki soba and the spider roll. The ramen was a nice size portion and was packed with a variety of meats. My friend said the broth was really good and spicy. The Yaki soba was a perfect portion for me. It included roasted chicken, prawns, roasted pork and veggies. It was very flavor and good. It also came with a side of miso soup which was perfect. The spider roll was massive. There were 8 giant pieces and it was tasty! I also snapped photos of our neighbors Teppan salmon teriyaki and beef teriyaki. They said both were amazing. I've seen a few reviews mention the pricing is a bit higher but it was worth it in my opinion. The portions were a bit larger than what I've experienced before, the food was tasty, the drinks were good and service was great. They also do karaoke upstairs and it was actually pretty entertaining listening to them while we ate. There is an automatic 12% gratuity/service fee included but there is a note that you are not required to pay. Definitely keeping this on my list for the next visit.

For 17€, I was able to get their lunch time special of one ramen and an appetizer. I got the kimchi arancini and it was absolutely delicious and something unique that I had never had before. The ramen was also very good and extremely filling. I couldn't finish both so I had a good amount of leftovers to take home for dinner making it an even better deal. Highly highly recommend.

Or maybe I just missed Asian food since we had been away from home for almost a week. Anyways, we decided to walk into Ramen Bar and have lunch. We were seated right away, but in this weird alcove with a broken light hanging down, so it was kinda awkward to find a comfy spot. We all ended up getting a set menu plus an app and some drinks. The gyoza was tasty. Satisfied the dumpling craving. I didn't care for the tostadas since they were kinda sweet. I did enjoy the ramen tho. Broth had good flavor. Tho I wanted more heat in my red one. The chilli beef one was savory and meaty. I really enjoy that one. Good food, Not the best seating comfort wise. Plus the place is very dark. Still glad I got to try some noodle soup in Dublin. REVIEW #4113

When we arrived, the door was locked and some employee opened it for us but then walked away. It took a few minutes for us to be acknowledged by someone else to seat us. When the server approached, we ordered water to start. When he returned with the water, we asked if they had straws and all he said was "yes" and he walked away when we said we needed a minute to order food. We ordered different things such as sushi rolls and gyoza and after an hour being there, we had received nothing. When the food finally came, my order was missing a roll and had sashimi on the plate, so he took the plate back. When he returned, he said the kitchen had made a mistake and they were out of tuna, even though the plate he took from me had tuna. The only thing that was wrong on the original plate was the sashimi. He asked if I wanted something else and I was so hungry, I asked if my other order could come out while I looked at the menu. What I did receive, did not have any tuna, even though the menu said it should, I guess that's my fault for asking for the other 2 rolls to come out, thinking all they would do is take the sashimi off the plate, but he should have told me they would not have any tuna at all to make sure I would still want it. The sushi did not have any flavor, not even the soy sauce helped. The most flavorful thing on the plate was the sesame seeds and I wasn't the only one at the table who thought that. It was so unenjoyable that I could not even finish the 2 rolls I had in front of me. The service was overall terrible, the server was not attentive or friendly. The food was severely overpriced. The only good thing about this meal was the gyoza, and that another server came to tell us the kitchen was doing a last call for food. It's definitely one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had and our group of 6 is all in agreement. Would not recommend, would absolutely not return, not even for free.
