Absolutely fantastic little cafe. Top notch bao buns and sushi. I've yet to try their cakes but given the quality of the rest of the food they should be great too.

Absolutely worth every penny spent. The banana cake is to die for and the sushi is the best I have ever experienced 10/10 made fresh to order. I traveled 2 hours to get here from Kerry and will be making this trip again. just for this sushi and banana cake. also really good customer service. and wheelchair accessibility is perfect.

My God, 100% praise for this place! The sushi is wonderful and so fresh—it’s absolutely delicious. Not to mention the staff, who are incredibly friendly. At least three times a month, I’m there to get my sushi, my dinner. I highly recommend it; you won’t regret it. The sushi is well-filled, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and simply sensational.

I stopped by Cork Sensei Coffee on my way somewhere and decided to grab a latte. The price was reasonable at €3.60, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was—smooth and rich in flavor. I’ll definitely go again. Next time, I want to try their sweets and treats too—they looked really fancy and delicious in the display.

The best sushi place I’ve ever been to! Amazing selection. Staff and owners are extremely friendly. My favourites are Salmon Aburi, Spicy Tuna Dynamite and Dragon Sushi. The Brazo de Mercedes is also homemade and so delicious!

The restaurant run by a Filipino and impressed! I ordered the spicy tuna dynamite and it was so flavorful and delicious. The place also sells coffee and bakery items at a reasonable price. Everything was fresh and tasty. I really enjoyed their food and would definitely come back next time!
