Cookai is a completely underrated restaurant (by underrated I mean how no one has heard of it) with a suitable Japanese menu full of potential to be one of CHCH best Japanese places. I had the tempura salmon sushi which was drizzled with mayo and spicy sauce and was just like it sounds, absolutely amazing. It is very rare to taste sushi that is deep fried yet still doesn’t taste rich and fatty. I also ordered the bento bowl as my main which included pork and ginger salad, incredibly fresh sashimi, nigiri, takoyaki and one of the best pieces of Karaage chicken I’ve ever had and I have had an insane amount of Karaage in my time. The service is good – average, the price was decent and the atmosphere was nice. I shared two entrees a main and a small desert and was delightfully full to my heart’s content. Highly recommend the bento and tempura sushi.
I would say that it was pretty expensive considering the quantity of food provided. The atmosphere and service was pretty good as well. Definitely recommend once.
Pefect place for business lunch. We ordered one deluxe bento box and a few other dishes. I have tried many bento box meals recently, Cookai’s bento box is always my favorite, I think it is the best in town. They just changed the lunch menu, so it was my first time to try the deluxe one. I was amazed by thepork belly and teriyaki beef in the bentobox. The pork belly was tender and juicy， so smooth in mouth and tastes even better with rice. I think the teriyaki beef has been pan fried a bit to enhance the flavour and make the beef really fun to eat.Nice place and staff, most importantly，great food.Highly Recommended.
Visited with my Japanese class for the dining experience, was impressed by the menu choices. Great food, everyone enjoyed their meal and lovely service.Overall this place is has good value.
Lacks some of the intimate charm of its predecessor in Cashel Street. Location now in the west and prices have correspondingly headed north! They’re the best Japanese seafood purveyors in town.
Visited Cookai many times and the food is amazing. Their sushis are bigger than what you get from other sushi places and are done so well, especially the salmon and mayo sushi – it’s so nice creamy it almost melts in you mouth. Their sashimi platters are great and so fresh. The terayaki chicken is on point and very authentic – if you prefer beef to chicken, the beef teriyaki is pretty amazing too. The only disappointing thing encountered was in late December when they removed a few really good items from their menu (such as ice creams and rice dishes). The staff are friendly and whole atmosphere/feel of the restaurant is very comfortable.
