Whenever we’re up to Dublin, for a concert or shopping I always make it my business to go here!! We went before Coldplay and the atmosphere here was so nice and bubbly, the noise level was a bit loud at the bar when we waited for our table but once we were sat it was very enjoyable, very well priced (and delicious) cocktails, food good as always and staff are quick to help and assist

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Maneki! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The ambiance was authentic and inviting, creating the ideal setting for a memorable meal. The food was outstanding, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You could really taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients. From the sushi to the hot dishes, everything exceeded our expectations. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. Our waitress was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel so welcome. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience, and her recommendations were spot on. I highly recommend Maneki to anyone looking for a top-notch Japanese dining experience. We can't wait to come back!

Lovely food and excellent friendly service. Staff were very personable and spent time talking to you and getting to know you. Did not have to wait long between courses. Location is ideal, situated more where the locals would go rather than in the heart of bustling City centre. Food was very tasty and of excellent quality. Recommend the seared tuna for starters and venison for main course.

Beautiful food and beautifully presented. Full of flavour and tasted great. Wide choice of wines which weren’t overly expensive. Only criticism would be that the waiter deboned the fish at the table but there were quite a few bones left behind. Small irritant in what was otherwise a very enjoyable experience.
