"If you've eaten at the co-owned Matsukawa, a brilliant omakase sushi restaurant on Queen Street in Smithfield, you'll understand why there was competition for the second seat at my table. The cohort of family and friends I call upon for reviewing missions are all folk who can be relied upon to order what I tell them, to remember the camera eats first (my amateur snaps appear on this page, for which apologies to the professionals), and to be happy to share everything."
"Service is good and some dishes are delicious but the €293 bill is hard to swallow at this new Japanese BBQ spot in Dublin "My hair needs a wash, it smells of fried meat!" That's the morning-after-the-night-before WhatsApp message from my dinner date at Yakiniku Matsukawa, a new Japanese barbecue restaurant in North Wall, close to the IFSC."
Service at the new Yakiniku Matsukawa in North Wall is good and some dishes are delicious. The dinner included people familiar with the co-owned Matsukawa sushi restaurant on Queen Street, creating demand for limited seats. A companion reported a lingering smell of fried meat the morning after. The bill for the meal reached €293, creating sticker shock. The group shared plates and followed photographing etiquette. The restaurant sits close to the IFSC and positions itself as a Japanese barbecue spot. Food quality impressed in parts, but cost made the overall experience feel excessive.
