About the restaurant

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.
