The fire happened in a third floor apartment above the Musashi sushi restaurant close to the city’s quays.
The street, situated just north of the Liffey and close to O’Connell Street, is a popular eating area with numerous, mostly Asian, restaurants.

The fire was in the apartments above the restaurant. Looks to be an electrical fire. I happened to end up talking to a girl earlier who lives in one of the apartments above. She said the fuseboard in the entrance hall to the apartments, which is beside the restaurant, had flames coming out of it as she was escaping from the building. Thankfully everyone got out it seems.
Wtf? Somebody burned sushi?!
Great restaurant I hope they are able to reopen.
What do you cooked sushi?
Epic fail. *call
Some people don’t read the articles. It’s all about posted the first comment and getting green thumbs for some people.
I green-thumbed this, but ironically.
I hope nobody was hurt
It says it CLEARLY in the article that one person has been hurt.
Beachmaster, it WASN’T in the article when I commented so relax your hormones, good man.
Something fishy about this
I think it did Paul. I’m sure Cianan can settle this.
Ok, my bad I apologise
But I still think the first third and fifth lines were only written at the time
CIANAN, HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP!
Lol!
lets blame isis
that parasite obama needs all the help he can get
Capel Street, some dive…
‘Street reopened after earlier fire’……..what a totally redundant thing to say. It would have sufficed to say ‘Street reopened after fire’ , why bother with the ‘earlier’. The street would hardly have been closed in advance of the incident, would it?
Fire in a restaurant that serves sushi, very odd!
The rice in sushi ain’t raw ya know
People tend to always want chips with everything here.
Is this area Dublin’s Chinatown?
No.Chinatown is further up the country on Parnell street
There was a fight on Parnell street recently.Four locals and an Irish man were involved.
What was an Irishman doing there? – must have been an immigrant.
Chinatown, thats hilarious..
Why is that hilarious? I read a few months back an area of the north inner city of Dublin was going to be Dublin’s Chinatown. On my last visit to your Capital I noticed most shops and restaurants in the area are Chinese.
It’ll be reopening as ‘ash’ tomorrow.
@ Ken O’Neill
when Musashi is ashes .. you have my permission to stir fry
(Bane the dark knight rises)
It’s all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits
Ah the sushi !
Something Fishy about a fire at a sushi restaurant, I reckon someone got a RAW deal!
She had one job!
Growing weed
I don’t think it’s fair that the articles details change once the commenting has started. Look at the trouble it can cause on a forum like this. It should be a rule that if the story changes, there should be a new story with a fresh start to the comments. I really hope no one was hurt in this car accident.
My thoughts are with the family
have your say
