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.

    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

    The food was subpar. The prices exorbitant for the quality. I would not return and encourage others to avoid. I am highly displeased at the money I wasted at this establishment.

    Hi Antoinette, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that the norimaki and tea didn’t meet your expectations. When our server checked in, you mentioned everything was fine, so we weren’t aware of any concerns at the time. We always aim to ensure our guests are fully satisfied, and you’re welcome to request changes if something doesn’t meet your preferences. Regarding the tea, we added an extra tea bag after you mentioned it was too weak. Since we haven’t received similar feedback before, your input was surprising, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will review this matter to ensure better quality in the future. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we’ll use your comments to improve where needed. Thank you again for your patronage. Warm regards,

    Not a place to go if you are allergic to seafood (obviously) or mushrooms hard to find a dish without one or the other.

    The food was great; it always is. But I had booked for 3 and was told through the app I we would have the table for 1 hour 45 mins. However, after 1 hour and 15 mins we were presented with the bill without having asked and at 1 hour 30 mins we were told we needed to pay because they needed the table. I was there with friends trying to catch up but we were frequently interrupted and felt very rushed. So it’s good for a quick bite but I wouldn’t go again with friends.
    Yamamori South CityResponded on 25 March 2025
    Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Glad you enjoyed the food! We apologise for the rushed experience and for the early request to vacate your table. As mentioned, our standard table duration for 3 people is 1 hour and 45 minutes, and we never intend to ask guests to leave before that time. It seems there was a miscommunication, and we’re sorry for that. Please feel free to reach out to management if this happens again. If we're not fully booked, we’re happy to accommodate guests without a time limit, especially on weekdays when it's usually more relaxed. Weekdays offer a calmer atmosphere where guests can enjoy their time. We’d love to welcome you and your friends back anytime for a more relaxed experience. Thanks again for your understanding! Warm regards,
