About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
Our South City residence, our founding Japanese restaurant that opened in 1995, remains the flagship location of the Yamamori Group. Boasting an array of delights, including tempura, sushi, homemade dumplings, ramen, and katsu curry, all prepared fresh daily, it has secured its place as a pioneer of Japanese cuisine in Dublin. Beyond its culinary offerings, Yamamori South has etched a lively history into the city’s landscape, complete with a friendly and dedicated staff, ensuring a memorable dining experience for all. We will celebrate our 30th anniversary in August 2025, and we believe that the Yamamori Group will continue to serve Dubliners as a household name in dining and thrive as a bustling business for years to come.

    I don't know how to rate it as I'm not familiar with Japanese food but we had a selection of dishes and enjoyed them all. The servers were really good - efficient, friendly and helpful. The seating looked like old church pews so could have done with a cushion but I liked the glass panel between booths which meant the acoustics were good.

    I have been coming to Yamamori since it opened and used to love it Last night was just terrible! Staff were very nice but the food has downhill big time The California Roll is nothing like it used to be More rice then anything else Much smaller and the presentation is the worst California Roll I have seen Unfortunately I would NOT recommend visiting this restaurant now N Very disappointed to have to write this review Overpriced average rice food!

    Arthur was absolutely exceptional as our server. We had a large work group and he handled it fantastically. The food was amazing and Arthur recommended a number of corals at the request of our group and each of his recommendations were phenomenal!! He was assisted by Kotono and she was also excellent. Overall this was a 10/10 experience for work groups and we will definitely come back :) thank you Arthur
