Banyi Japanese, Temple Bar

Menu/ dishes:

Japanese dishes and lots of sushi options.

Price Point:

Around €12 for a main with lots of variety for every budget with their sushi options.

Atmosphere:

Bustling city centre spot but not hectic.

Service:

Friendly attentive staff who knew the menu really well.

Why I liked it enough to share:

I went to Banyi once before with one of the last meal coupons/groupon type things I’d ever gotten (I don’t like them, I feel you get mediocre food and service for the reduced price) and, you guessed it, I wasn’t that impressed.

I thought the food was only alright & it therefore never got a mention on the blog but after hearing many people say they loved this spot I decided to give it a second chance, it was way better; fresh food, authentic flavours and great menu selection.

Perfect for:

Date night.
