• Sushi • Galway City Centre
Booked 6 times today
City Sushi Galway was born from a love of Japanese cuisine and a desire to bring something unique to the city. What started as a small home-based sushi experience soon became a shared vision when Lucas and Helio joined forces. After two years in the restaurant industry, they relaunched City Sushi Galway with a fresh approach—bringing exclusive sushi to people’s homes. Stunning sushi tables for private events quickly gained popularity, and within weeks their schedule was full. The turning point came when they secured a kitchen at Galway Bay Seafoods, allowing them to grow from a small takeaway into a thriving business and community. Today, City Sushi Galway is more than a sushi restaurant—it’s a destination for high-quality, fresh sushi paired with curated wines and sake. Whether dining in, ordering takeaway, or booking a private event, we aim to make every experience unforgettable. We are grateful for the Galway community’s support and can’t wait to welcome you! Free parking available
