    Small and cozy place where to eat Japanese food is always a pleasure for your soul and stomach. Location: Is located in the heart of North city center, if you go for shopping you can stop here easily. Staff: Good and polite enough. Food: Tasty and healthy for a good price. Is not fancy but have a very good flavours and combination of fresh food. Overall: High recommended. My favourite dish there is the vegetarian bento box, and the salmon noodles. Note: Is vegan and vegetarian friendly as well.

    A very nice place to try Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is quite small, it gets full quickly, so you might need to wait a little bit to get seated. There are many different options and combinations to try from the menu. You get good amount of food for the price you pay. The staff is friendly, and you get served really fast. It's a good option for solo dining at the city centre.

    The food is really tasty. You won’t wait long when you get in and make an order. But since it’s so famous place, you have to wait in the queue outside the restaurant. In the evening, a lot of people want you have a dinner there, so the queue is really long. But the time that you waited for the table is reasonable if you try their sushi or any soup 🍜 it’s love! Attention, the portion of the soup is giant, you’ll be full after only soup , but you have to try other dishes )) Located near the Spire and Red line Luas )) Prices are reasonable, food is awesome!

    Great food and atmosphere! The food was gorgeous and very fast, same time level as fast food but the quality is much much better. You have to order at the counter so they don’t take your order but food comes quick. The interior is quite cozy and small, it does get quite cramped fast but if you want good food fast this is the place.

    Love , love , love this place ❤ I've been trying to get table there for good few months , place always full , many times seen people queuing outside . Very atmospheric small restaurant and extremely polite staff .. In places serving Japanese food I always going for seafood ramen first as that's my all the time favourite. Ramen was so delicious with loads of seafood of all varieties into it.. Menu is abundant loads to choose from . Highly recommend everyone who's in love of Japanese cuisine 👍👍👍 And more over paid 13 eur only which is fab in comparison to many other places price being nearly 20 eur ..

    Delicious and good price. I would 100% recommend it. Portions are big, you can eat with only 1 dish. We ordered ramen and sushi.

    In the first place. I'm not someone who loves japanese food. I have eaten a lot in Brazil, but I know they put a lot of butter and sour cream there. So, it's not a real Japanese food. At this place I don't know if the ingredients came from Japan or they are using Irish products. After this disclaimer, let's move on. There was a small queue outside and it took me 30 minutes to get in. The restaurant is tiny and it lacks decoration. The service is similar to a fast food. You order directly on the counter and pay before receiving. The order was delivered quickly. Now, the food itself. I ate a ramen. It was the first time I've eaten it. The taste wasn't bad, but it wasn't remarkable. I wouldn't go back to this place, because it's not my type of food. I went to try it, but I prefer the Brazilian version.

    Cannot fault this place at all. We came here based off trip advisor recommendations and it lived up to expectations. Expect a queue outside however it is worth the wait. Once inside our food arrived in a timely manner and cannot be faulted. Great atmosphere too and reasonable prices

    Lovely and fresh Japanese food, probably the cheapest place in Dublin. I don't know how they can afford this quality. Amazing! You need to order drinks and food at the counter but other than that no suprises.

    We are going to Takara for dinner so a long line is expected before you can enter the restaurant :) The sushi is really fresh and the ramen broth is really thick so it really gives us an authentic taste of japanese ramen. The chicken on the ramen is also really juicy and all the condiment really makes our ramen flavorful. No wonder there is always a long line in front of Takara ramen, they served great meal for sure.

    Great ramen, tasty gyoza and bento box! The atmosphere too is great. Could have been five stars, but they brought us ramen 10 minutes after the bento box, so we basically ate on our own.

    Takara in Dublin City center is a gem! The food is absolutely amazing, with a diverse menu that caters to various tastes. What sets it apart is not just the delicious dishes but also the reasonable prices, making it an excellent value for the quality. The staff is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. I highly recommend Takara and find myself returning whenever I'm in town. It's a go-to spot for fantastic Chinese cuisine!

    Food is always fresh and delicious. Good variety of vegan dishes. Staff always very helpful and polite, they work so hard as the restaurant is very busy! If you have to wait…it’s 100% worth it!

    This place is AMAZING value for food! The portions are very big, the food is delicious and most of the dishes come with miso soup. The vegetarian ramen was so tasty! The location is also perfect, a great find right in the heart of Dublin - definitely a must go while in the city. They were only accepting cash went we went so be prepared for this. Also there is not a lot of seating available so try to be there early to get a spot. Went we left there was a cue at the door Not really suitable for big groups because of the size of the restaurant inside

    Great food for the price, very fast after ordering and paying at the counter. The only thing I didn’t like was that my tiny table had neither a chair back nor a hook, so I ate in my coat with my bag on. Small is fine but a little hook takes no space at all.

    The quality vs price of the food is really good. Fresh, tasty and well prepared. The environment is clean and enjoyable, however the installations aren’t necessarily classy or posh. However I reinforce, the relation ‘food quality’-place-price are really good. I’d really recommend the place if you want to have nice Sushi with a friend. I wouldn’t go for a first date tho. The platter was about 13-14€, the Gyosa 6.5€ and the Chinese beers were 4€.

    Good service, very intuitive and helpful staff. The food was excellent, very undervalued. Fresh sashimi is a major green flag. Would rate it slightly less than Yamamori but definitely highly recommend, same quality for cheaper price.

    Great little place. 11 -12 table. You be expected a small waiting time. Roughly 20 min. You are expected to made your own food order at cashier point and pay first for both food and drink. Food is fantastic. Great staff. Recommended. Make sure check weather first.

    Do yourself a favour and order some absolutely gorgeous Japanese food from this restaurant: offers always on point, fresh made food, fast service, incredible customer service and theirs gyosas are the best in town 🍣🍱🥢

    I loved their salmon teriyaki bento box. Great service in a very relaxed cozy restaurant. It's perfect for lunch or even a casual date.

  • 5/5 Stanislaw W. 2 years ago on Google
    Best ramen I had in a long time. 🙂 Had Takara soul ramen, with pork, beef and shrimp in it, it was perfect, both in taste and in size. Gyoza dumplings were great too, as were the ebi katsu shrimp. The place is rather small and cosy, the service is quick, food is great and there are take away and delivery options too. What more to ask? If in Dublin and you like Japanese style food, then this is the place to visit.👍
