Japanese Kitchen by J2 Sushi — Restaurant in Dublin

I found it!!!!!!!!! Ok, I am going to be honest...I was being selfish and didn't want to write a review about Japanese Kitchen just to keep this place all for me. But they are so good that deserve to be known by all japanese food lovers. This is the most real japanese restaurant you will try in Dublin. The staff are all japanese, the food is exactly like the one you eat in Japan, the tastes are so authentic. I found this restaurant last week and since then I have eaten here 3 times! The place is quite small and the menu is not very extensive. But everything is so delicious. Exactly like the small restaurants I had the chance to visit when I was in Tokyo. The bento box costs only 9.50 euro and comes with the best miso soup ever (well second best, the best one was served in a Tonkatsu restaurant in Ueno) :-) I hope you enjoy as...

I thought this was a fun little place to visit - a bit like a sushi place in Japan it's very small but you can't really see the chefs at work properly because of the counter front being so high. I thought menu was fairly simple - better to stick to a few things and do them well. Presentation was very good (I'm not an expert but it looked very neat to me). Taste was fresh and clean. I suppose so long as your ingredients are fresh enough what else can go wrong? There's no cooking and no sauce to get wrong... We tried a Japanese lemonade which was in a specially made bottle which needed instructions to open. The taste didn't quite live up to the expectation.

We didn't order any of the cooked dishes but there are rice bowls with meat and seared fish dishes if that is more...

I always bring family and friends to J2, highly recommend it over two years, but what an awful attention I received today 3rd Sep 2019 at 2:35pm when I brought my mum to try your food. I admit I was over 30min trying to get parking but waitress told me that they are not serving food anymore, that they are closing. I asked if I could order take away as I was dying for a bento box and came all the way from Galway looking forward to it... as I was coming in at 2:45 to order the take away, I found that the waitress was serving miso soup and placing a bento box to 3 customers in the bar... I felt so humiliated and embarrassed, let down for the J2 I always claimed great food and service! Very disappointed and will definitely not recommend it again! Lazy...
