ukiyo bar

had a fantasticnighthere a few weeks ago. we went on a tuesdaynightfor a special occasion and it was surprisingly busy for mid week. not so surprising now after having the food. we ordered off the set menu. i had the gyoza, can't get enough of them. i'm a big fan. and for the main i had the salmon with rice, and green veg. it was so tasty and cooked perfectly. the portion was huge. and it was two courses for € 20. great value. then we went downstairs for some karaoke. we had booked one hour but extended it to two as we were having so much fun. the staff were very nice and allowed us to decorate one of the rooms early in the afternoon for the night. overall a great place to go.

there's an abundance of sushi places peppered all over dublin now and, with so many good reports it can be hard to choose one! for years i've intended to check ukiyo out in anighttime capacity; drink a little too much sake and linger around the karaoke machines trying to muster the courage to inevitably murder a ballad but, when a friend wanted to meet for lunch time dumpling i decided that ukiyo was the spot for us.

its a bustling little spot at mid-day but service wasn't compromised, the menu has all the classic you'd expect from an asian dining spot and, they had some great lunch deals that would leave both your belly and your bank account satisfied. we went for the bentos which has great variety and flavour, miso and rice accompanied the dish making for a delicious and filling mid-day meal.

perfect choice to catch up with a friend or for a fun lunch time meeting.

this is one of my favourite spots for a bite to eat and also a great littlenightspot for a drink and a boogie once the restaurant has finished! the sushi is really good and it's a small place so has a nice atmosphere. i've also gone for the slow cooked pork dish which was delicious and i'll most certainly be back to try some of the other dishes!
