    Booked this restaurant not looking at the reviews and honestly I’m glad I didn’t, they wouldn’t have done it justice. The ambience was beautiful, the staff were so kind and friendly. It is a little bit on the pricey side but that’s expected for a restaurant in a city and the food was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be going back.

    My boyfriend and I dined last night, overall, we were disappointed. I have been to Ukiyo twice before and it was perfect but last night was a let down. The service was extremely slow, we waited 30 mins for our first round of drinks and we had to search for a waitress to try get another round. This then took another 25 mins to receive the second round which was a bottle of beer and a glass of wine. The restaurant itself was very busy which is good but the two doors upstairs were being opened and closed every few mins, letting the cold in. I was so cold, I had to wear my coat through dinner and I think our food went cold quite quick because of this. The food was really good and we really enjoyed everything! The toilets were disgusting! Both the men’s and women’s had a layer of water mixed with wet toilet paper across the toilet. In general, they were both in need of maintenance with the mirrors hanging off and no toilet paper or hand towels stocked.

    Food was amazing. The staff let us know there may be a little wait on food as one of the fryers had gone down but we honestly didn’t think it took long at all. Highly recommend.

    The food was incredible. It was a little bit slow which we didn’t mind because they told us it would be due to a kitchen issue but it was hard to get service still. Still really enjoyed, food was very tasty and I’d be back.

    Excellent service from our Bolivian waiter. Drinks were great especially the cocktails. Some drinks available not o no the menu - Asahi beer. It would be good to put all things on the menu. Portion sizes were good and overall good quality food. Waited a while for the food but we were a group of 9 Would good back for sure

    My partner and I decided to give Ukiyo a try and we are so glad that we did. We got a good few dishes (chicken gyoza, sashimi, sushi rolls and tofu sliders) and each and every dish was absolutely delicious, we even ordered another round of gyoza because they were the best I’ve ever had! Drinks were also very tasty. Overall a 10/10 experience. We will be back!

    Service was very good, friendly staff! Katsu curry was very bland and tasted more like a gravy.. breaded chicken was over cooked and it was served cold.. didn say it to my friends as didn wanna ruin there experience.. but over all don’t think any of us will be back! P.S a glass of red wine was 12 euro! I’m sorry but I was caught out there to! Disappointed.

    We ate downstairs which wouldn’t usually be my preference but that particular night the Ireland v Scotland rugby game was on and with the big screen up, there was a great atmosphere . Staff were lovely which has always been my experience here. Food also excellent. I did feel that the wine list was a little overpriced .

    I have been to Ukiyo before and the experience we had was amazing which made us want to come back again. Since there was a function going on downstairs I also asked if we can be seated somewhere other than the middle . We got informed that they would book us a really nice table next to the window which we were very happy and proceeded with the booking . Our booking was for 8:45 However this time I had booked a table and was running late by 15 mins Max as we are in traffic on a Saturday night . We notified the restaurant by phone and also by message on open table . With both confirmed it was okay and no problem and that they’d be waiting for us . At this point we are hungry but due to the traffic we were only 14 mins late . We arrived exactly at 8:58 still within our grace period . As we came up-to the restaurant we noticed our table at the window ready for four people and excited to sit and eat . As we got in we noticed they had called over other people who had been sitting at the bar to our table to sit . Mind you we arrived well within our 15 mins grace period . So finally a lady came up-to us and we informed them we had a booking for four at 8:45 but rang to say we’d be a max of 15 mins late .As to no surprise we new they had given our table away and so advised us that if we can sit down at the bar and that it would only take 10 minutes before our table was ready (we knew this wasn’t the case because they had just sat down on our table and all the window seating area was already taken and everyone had only just started eating or no where near finishing ). We sat at the bar and only three seats available so our friend was told a seat would be brought to her but they did not keep to their promise and she was there left standing . Ten minutes, 20 and then 30 mins had passed before we even got seated . They had forgotten to bring my friend a seat and was left standing for almost 30 mins while we wait for our table . The service was rushed.

    Without a doubt - the BEST place in Dublin to eat, drink and be merry - Japan style! Amazing food and superb service (special shout out to Adam who wins the prize as the most attentive server in Ireland). We booked the private karaoke room for a special family celebration for €500. This sounds expensive, but when you consider the excellent food and spectacular service for up to 10 people for three hours, this room has all you need - disco lights, brilliant tracks, great singing (of course!) and a mini dance floor. We had an absolute blast - thank you Adam and the talented team at Ukiyo - we'll be back!

    Shocking! Never go here. Sat for 20 mins and serving staff avoided eye contact. Didn’t even take drink orders. Walked out and all that was offered was a free drink to make up after the fact it was pointed out about what had happened. The waitress “presumed” someone else had taken our drinks order even tho she was the only one on the floor. Not the first time I’ve been here with disappointing service. Will never return, would never recommend
