Amazing come back to the team here at Ai after the devastating flood. It was great to be back to enjoy the amazing food. Travelled Cork-Enniscorthy just to get 100% halal Japanese cuisine, no Mirin use and ofcourse delicious dishes that are ever so fulfilling. Here’s to more meals at Ai by Ahmad!

I recently had the chance to dine at Ai by Ahmad in Wexford, and it was a genuinely memorable experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming—modern yet relaxed, without trying too hard to impress.
The food is where this place really stands out. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with a strong focus on fresh ingredients and bold, well-balanced flavours. You can tell there’s real attention to detail in both presentation and taste. The menu offers a nice mix of options, and it’s clear there’s a creative influence behind the cooking rather than just sticking to the usual formulas.
Service was another highlight. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, happy to explain dishes and make recommendations. It added a personal touch that made the whole experience feel more special.
If there’s anything to note, it’s that the restaurant can get quite busy, which speaks to its popularity—so booking ahead is probably a good idea.
Overall, Ai by Ahmad is a fantastic addition to Wexford’s dining scene. Whether you’re going for a casual meal or something a bit more special, it’s definitely worth a visit.
