A very great place! Went there yesterday with my partner. The place has a nice vibe to it, perfect for eating outdoor or cozy dinner indoor. Food is 10/10, might need to order the sushi next time! The ribs is so tender and has a sweet to it as well. The staff is so friendly, gave us a warm welcome. Their cheesecake is also spot on! Will come back again soon!!

Response from the owner

Thanks a mil, Cygnus. Really glad you and your partner enjoyed the evening, and that the ribs and cheesecake were such a hit. The sushi will be ready for you whenever you're next in.

Two weeks in Ireland and THIS was our most memorable meal!!
The food was absolutely delicious. I requested my salmon cooked medium and it was perfection!! Our server was wonderful and friendly. The outdoor patio was lovely! It's tucked in a bit off the street, but look for it! Highly recommended!!

Response from the owner

What a pleasure to read. Out of two whole weeks in Ireland, being your most memorable meal is a real honour for us. Glad the salmon came out exactly as you asked and that our patio made the evening, it is a bit hidden away, so thank you for pointing others towards it. We'll share your kind words with your server and the team. Safe travels home.

Excellent find while in Malahide. Ramen was spot on, fresh noodle and velvety broth. Unagi don was bbq'd expertly and on perfectly cooked rice. Highly recommend

Response from the owner

Thank you for your kind words James! You definitely know your ramen! That velvety broth takes hours of work and is exactly how it's meant to be, rich and full, so it's great to have it recognised. Glad you enjoyed the unagi too!
