   The food was ok, but I would not return to eat there again. Service was not great. Waitress wasn’t familiar with opening bottles of wine and left half the capsule on top, making it messy to pour (she didn’t pour either). Training or supervision definitely required there

   ManekiResponded on 26 July 2022Thank you for coming to our restaurant and taking your time to leave us a review. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by our staff. We do the proper training for every new employee. We believe it was a human error, however, we will look into it and make sure our staff is properly trained to serve our customers. Sorry again for any inconvenience, and we hope to see you again!

   Food was completely overpriced although it was pretty tasty. They didn't get the egg right on the ramen though, seemed to be a chilled boiled egg placed on top, which was disappointing. It took us 15 minutes to get someone to get the bill and then another 15 for someone to come back to take payment - each time we had to call out to the staff. I was also barged past by a staff member on the narrow stairs instead of her waiting for me to come down - basic manners really. 12.5% service charge is a bit of a farce given this. Could be a great spot with more reasonable prices and more attentive staff.

   ManekiResponded on 12 July 2022Thank you for coming to our restaurant and taking your time to leave us a review. Our food is from very good quality and the price is reasonable for the heart of the city centre. We are very sorry for the delay in our service. We don't think our staff would do it deliberately as it was our busiest day of the week. The service charge is optional. We would never want you to feel obligated to pay something you don't want to. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by our part.

   There needs to be ambient music in the dining room. All we heard were other table's conversations. Food is good, but a 12.5% charge for service for a table of 2 is outrageous when a tip is also encouraged.

   ManekiResponded on 12 July 2022Thank you for coming to our restaurant and taking your time to leave us a review. We do have ambient music, we make sure to leave it on until the end of the night.

   Enjoyed the food only to have the experience destroyed when we were ordered to leave the table for the next sitting just as we were about to order more food. This was completely out of the blue as there was absolutely no mention of a short (90 minute) seating limitation with the booking.

   ManekiResponded on 4 July 2022Dear customer, thank you for visiting our restaurant and for taking your time to leave us a review. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by our part. As you visited our restaurant on a Friday night, which is one of our busiest days, we usually have a lot of bookings and we have to organize ourselves according to them. You were politely warned 20 minutes earlier we had another booking and that we would need your table. We are very sorry. We hope to have a chance to see you again.

    We were met with a nice waitress and we were brought to a room upstairs with a nice view out to Dawson street. The place was bustling with many other rooms already full. The service was good and the food was ok - have had better sushi. There was karaoke upstairs though (very bad singing) and it was loud. We didn't mind as we were only there for a quick bite but two ladies sitting next to us asked to be moved downstairs which the staff did quickly for them.

    ManekiResponded on 29 June 2022Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review, Ciara. We are glad our service was up to your standards. As a restaurant and karaoke establishment we can't promise there won't be any noises coming from the karaoke rooms. We also can't stop people from having fun. We are happy to hear our staff was able to deal with the situation. Thank you for coming to Maneki and we really hope to see you again.

    Food was good and came out quickly, but that was the last time we saw our server. Had to ask 2 others for our bill before we got it. Not like there wasn’t any help, 3 others were standing around. Need to try harder.

    Food was excellent. Service attentive and accommodating Exiting the restaurant was disappointing. A gaggle of smokers clogging the stairwell presents a challenge. Management should monitor this area of the restaurant as it presents an unsightly and potentially dangerous departure for customers.

    Food was lovely, i had sashimi and it was super! Quite pricey overall but I'd say this is the cost to have fresh raw fish. Noise was quite high since someone was using the karaoke room, it was lunch time and i would have referred something a little quieter. Waitresses were lovely but quite inexpert.

    Delightful food and ambiance, Maneki impressed both me and my girlfriend The curry bowl sated my intense hunger while my partner treated herself to sushi; the vegan rolls were a pleasant surprise; though the avacado salmon roll left a little to be desired. Overall, Maneki is a wonderful choice for date night or friends meal!

    The staff are extremely patient, polite, good humoured and helpful. The building is quirky and a bit of a maze so people are always buzzing past in close proximity but that adds to the atmosphere. It’s a lively and entertaining venue but none of that compares to the quality of the food which is outstanding. You will not regret booking here and you will not leave hungry. Fantastic for parties, anniversaries, celebrations and date nights. Also the cocktails are well worth a try. Enjoy 😊

    We were celebrating our friend's birthday so I clicked "birthday" in the booking option. I didn't think much of it since in the other restaurants I've booked on here, they don't really do anything about it so I was pleasantly surprised when they came out with mochi ice cream with a candle and happy birthday written on the dish! The food was delicious and plated beautifully as usual and the servers were all really nice. We went to one of their karaoke studios after dinner and our booking finished at 11:30pm. It turns out we were the last customers in the restaurant and the servers were still very pleasant and professional!

    Very enjoyable food and lunch menu was good value with lots of options. And kindly catered to my request of no raw fish for the sushi part of the bento box. Really fresh and tasty. Dessert menu was pricy though x 2 Mochi was 7.50€. Only thing was 12.5% service charge was surprising for party of 2 - you can ask for it to be removed but that would be a little awkward of course! I would return again as food was really good.
