    What kind of grub can we expect to be offered here?
    Never had Japanese food before. Would it be much the same as Chinese i.e. rice or noodles with everything etc.

    Sushi, noodles, tempura (deep fried) fish, beef, and pork. Great food for lunch.

    Good news. I was afraid it was going to be yet another Chinese restaurant. Good to have something different in town. Hopefully it's decent. To Bette Porter: just so you know there is already sushi in town. Asian Valley on Clanbrassil St. do it.

    Wonder if they'll serve proper take-out Bento boxes

    That'd be great

    Forgot to ask if it's considered healthy or is it greasy and full of MSG?

    Don't mention the war pighead! Been there done that. I am the least fussy eater in the world and I'll eat anything. Heard that they served sushi and was happy out! Got a selection of stuff, seafood bento box, noodles, Chick dish. It was literally the worst takeout ive ever had! I'm pretty sure they don't have one fresh ingredient or spice/herb in the place.

    That's why I have such high hopes for this new place yet I'm praying it ll be done well! At least its calling itself an actual Japanese place (rather than a Chinese that does sushi on the the side) so at last we might have a place that does it right!

    More good news for Sushi lovers. A new bistro opening soon on Park St specialising in world foods in clubbing Asian, Israel and something else I can't remember. Two guys were walking down Clanbrassil St yesterday giving out free Sushi. Think they said it's gonna be called Eskays or something like that.

    To be honest Bette, I have no idea what that was supposed to say. One thing for sure is it wasn't supposed to say clubbing! I guess we'll never know what message I was trying to convey. Really hope it wasn't very important.

    Predictive text strikes again.

    I guess you were trying to type "including"?

    Saw it today when at lights. It is indeed called Eskays and is in the unit that deli lites was supposed to go in but never materialised for whatever reason. Like buses they're appearing now! I hope at least one of them is worthy! I'm salivating at the prospect!

    Hope the prices are not the same. Looks expensive for a takeaway.

    Yes, me too, i've near rear-ended a few cars rubbernecking! Havent sampled yet but they have a facebook page and some nice appetising looking pics ( but then again instagram makes anything look edible) as well as a listed menu. Seems a bit pricey but i'd forgive that if it was worth it.

    Cannot wait for atami to open however!

    It's opening up in a few days time apparently. I grabbed a menu from them on Monday. Looks good. Lots of different types of sushi and plenty of appetisers and mains.

    The registered directors of ATAMI FOOD SERVICES LIMITED seem more Chinese than Japanese to me. Dundalk used to have a thriving Japanese Community, alas that's now gone 16 years since the Panasonic Hard Disk factory closed.

    Hard to know if they're decent prices until you see what you're getting. Few pics of menu below. It's sit in and take away by the looks of the set up. Open til 10 during the week and 11 on weekend.

    Do they have take out bento boxes?

    Like proper nice ones which aren't just a load of rice tossed over a pile of under-cooked fish?

    There's a bento box on the front of the menu. They're €10.90. If you are to believe the description they are 'a delicious sampling of traditional japenese cuisine in every box'.

    That's quite expensive for a bento box, oddly , exactly the price (10.90) of a bento box in a particular sushi place in Dublin. ( which comes also with miso soup)

    It would want to be substantial!

    Is that the place on Parnell St. In the Shakespeare pub? Used to go there years ago. I seen rainbow roll on this new menu and it reminded me of that place.
