Is there anywhere that sells SUSHI in limerick

I spent about 2.5 hours around limerick city and castletroy looking for a shop/restaurant/supermarket that sells sushi and couldnt find one, so if anyone knows where to get some id love to know.

I have bought some from an austrailian guy at the farmers market in UL which is on tuesdays but he was gone when I went there this week and i have a major craving for some.

Open to suggestions of sushi on sale anywhere around limerick, clare, tipperary.

Yeah, two blokes have a stall in the Milk Market on Saturday mornings selling sushi. I've bought it from them twice and thought it was excellent on both occasions (I wouldn't claim to be an expert in all things sushi, but I did enjoy it).

I seen a restaurant advertising in the Limerick Post recently that they had Sushi on their menu. I think it was Bambu on O'Connell Street.

http://www.menupages.ie/restaurants/bambu_restaurant/menu.aspx has bambu's menu and doesnt list sushi in there but it could be a new adddition.

As a sushi lover I'm afraid there is no place in Limerick where you can get descent sushis.

If you love sushis steer clear of that stall, they are bad and fall in pieces. I made better sushis myself at my first attempt after watching a youtube tutorial:eek:

Are you a dab hand at cooking? Why don't you try and make some yourself? Loads of websites and youtube vid's out there. I was at the Asian Foodstore in Henry Street today, they have loads of Japanese goods in there, I saw the makings of sushi, nori and the mats to roll them etc etc. Plus they have an aladdins cave of freezers with imported foodstuffs. I saw Vietnamese Spring Rolls, sticky rice in banana leaves, strange chinese dumplings etc etc. Ask the girls in there, they'd help you find what you are looking for.

Imasa on O'Connell St. used to do Sushi.
That changed name to Chocolat and don't know do they still do it.

Anywhere in Cork that would have it, so if I was down in Cork, I could stock up...tis only a handy spin away...

I was in that shop alright and last night having watched a couple of videos on sushi making I feel confident enough to give to a go, saddlers on roches street said that they would have fish perfect for it so i might give it a go, thanks

Copper and Spice in Annacotty apparently don't do the sushi night. I rang looking to make a reservation and was told they only do sushi in the restaurant in town...

Limerick is too small for a sushi restaurant.

Supermarkets will only stock product which will sell and since sushi has a very short shelf life and there is low demand among Limerick natives why should they stock it?

I know your talking sense but your being a bit of a spoil sport.... please allow us to have our rant.

Also i have been to copper and spice on cornmarket row tonight Wednesday, Summer sushi special was on.

Me and my girlfriend got a bowl of misou soup, 12 generous pieces of sushi, garnished with ginger and wasabi and served with soya sauce side. Choice of drink between japenesse beer, saki or plum wine for 20 euro a head....

I give every thing 5 out of 5 (location, setting, service, appearance, presenation, atmosphere, value for money, size of serving, the soup, the whole experience) the only thing i couldnt give 5 out of 5 was the sushi. It just wasnt brillant but i think i is well worth checking out for the experience alone

whatdoicare

Copper and spice does sushi on selected nights- 20 euro and that includes miso soup and sake. Keep an eye on their website for dates (I think tonight is one of them)

Anybody on here have or know somebody with experience managing a Restaurant/Takeaway.

Wouldn't need to be big. Something along the lines of Wokking.

I could help out with the Marketing etc.

It could fill a gap in the Market in Limerick.

And we could Eat the Profits:D

I spent 7 years in Japan and am married to a Japanese woman who prepares sushi on a regular basis. Could we be of any help to you?:)

But seriously, it isn't all that difficult to make sushi yourself, especially norimaki zushi.

On the food thing, Limerick also needs a good noodle bar, anyone ever eaten in Wok to Wok in either London or Amsterdam, worldwide? quality food ...fast.

Sushi in Limerick? You've got to be kidding.:rolleyes:

Limerick is not only not big enough to be able to support a sushi restaurant - it's also not sophisticated or wealthy enough either.

This is not a swipe at the city, but a hard fact.

I don't think you need to be sophiscated or wealthy to enjoy sushi. It's just food at the end of the day. :rolleyes:

Just a pity I live in Galway, though I am in Limerick and Cork reasonably frequently so can avail of it.

Wish there was somewhere in Limerick like this, I think it would do well. Prob not enough business for a sushi restaurant in Limerick but a shop like this would do ok I reckon.

There are two japanese restaurants in Galway that do decent sushi. M&S has some as well. I have never seen sushi in Limerick personally.
