I've had some bad meals here, sometime some of the dishes can be a bit iffy. But they do some good sushi, and their cooked stuff is pretty good! They also serve the best Bento Boxes I've had, changing the menu every hour, keeps it fresh and gives you a chance to try out some things you might not normally go for. It's a clean, spacious restaurant - probably one of the more authentic westernised Japanese restaurant in the city, unless you go to Parnell Street to some of the Korean/Japanese bars. I think the main testament to Yamamori Sushi is that even in this climate, they're still full most nights, and there's always a good atmosphere in the place. read more

The best and most reasonably priced restaurant in Dublin for young people, having a quick bite to eat. Did, however have a problem with reserving a table- they didn't actually reserve it for me and when questioned said they never heard of it... They do Assume the change should b their tip, so you might b left waiting! A bit of cheeck, but best sushi ever! read more

One of favourite places to have lunch in town. A regular stop for me and the family. Love the bento deals. A nice selection of beers too.

Yamamori is my favourite place to grab a bite to eat when in the city centre, my favourite dishes are the seafood ramen or the. Seafood yakisoba read more

The food is very good, but it takes quite a long time to get it. The staff is a bit impersonal and inattentive, and it took nearly ten mins the last time my friend and I were there to flag down a waitress for our bill. The last two times we were there we both got a mild headache so I'm wondering if they use MSG in their food, even sushi. read more

Yamamori - Salmon Nigiri at Yamamori - Japanese Near Me - Dublin, D

Food was lovely, staff were very slow and the prices are high, myself and my partner love sushi and went here for a meal one evening, we were in the back area near the bar and waited 20mins for service.. We then had to wait as long for the bill so we could leave.. read more

Very comfortable place with a vibrant atmosphere. Food is excellent and fairly reasonable. Great variety available on the menu and staff vary helpful for first timers. read more

I'm a huge fan of both Yamamori Sushi and Yamamori Noodles. I reckon they are my favourite Dublin restaurants. The food is always fresh and so tasty. We have eaten in both Yamamori restaurants on many occasions and could not fault anything about the food or staff. We will be back time and time again. read more

This is an incredible restaurant! The service was great, attentive but not over-bearing, the staff are friendly, and the space is ample. The menu highlights which options are gluten free, vegetarian and vegan (and there are many), making it far easier for people with intolerances (like me) to order. They also offer the option of brown or black rice in the Norimaki rolls on request, for a healthier and tasty alternative. We chose black and brown rice with our salmon and tuna Norimakis respectively, and they were absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was wonderful, and our meals came quite quickly after ordering. The fish all tasted very fresh, and the chicken was very moist and tender (which often isn't the case in Japanese restaurants). Our cocktails were also decent. Being from overseas, this is the first Japanese restaurant we've tried in Dublin, and it certainly satisfied our craving for sushi, but I do think it is overpriced - my friend and I were famished, each ordering 3 dishes and a cocktail, and the total menu came to just over €70. I think the atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food do make it worthwhile, but maybe as a treat rather than a habit. read more

A friend of mine rang and booked a table for 6 for Saturday just gone (13th of Feb). He had said "5 people and myself" on the phone. When we arrived, they made quite a bit of fuss about us having not booked for 6, as they had misunderstood him. While he could have been clearer, and it was an honest mistake on both sides, we were made feel very unwelcome, and it got worse from here on in. We sat down and placed our drink orders, (4 pints of kirin and 2 cokes). When they arrived, it was 5 beers and 1 coke. So we had to send a beer back. When we ordered our food, one of our orders turned up very fast. While the remainder of the orders were much later. This is not in keeping with good restaurant etiquette. When I received mine, it was a much smaller portion than everyone else. When I went to get cutlery to eat it, there was not enough for all of us at the table. Also, I order the Monkfish, that was described as having seaweed as part of the dish, yet when it arrived, the extent of the "seaweed" was what looked like 5 extremely thin strips of nori. The dish was 22e, so I expected better. While the portion size of my dish wasn't a problem in itself, it meant I finished first. Seconds after finishing, I had my plate taken away. I felt embarrassed having had my plate taken away while everyone else was still eating. This "whip the plates away before everyone is finished" continued throughout the dinner, including drinks too. Again, this is not in keeping with good restaurant etiquette. We were never even asked if everything was alright with the food etc, because we'd have definitely said something! One member of the party asked if we could order more drinks (as we had all finished). The waiter took her order (and hers only) and left. We had all planned on ordering a drink at this time, so we we're pretty frustrated that he stormed off. When he returned to take more plates, we asked if we could ALL order. He processed to try and re-take an order from the woman who had just ordered, she said she had just ordered from him very clearly. Again the order was very clear and simple. We asked for FOUR of the same cocktails. 4 spicy Asians. Again, the drink order was incorrect. We told them we didn't order 5. We were told the 5th would be on the house. Then we were told it couldn't be offered to us on the house, and we'd have to pay. We told them we didn't want to pay for a drink we didn't order. It was then taken away. Moments later it was returned to us, "free of charge" again. I've never experienced such a low standard of customer service for a restaurant that is not cheap, and it hit its low point when we saw the waiter rolling his eyes at another member of staff. Despicable treatment of customers considering the restaurant staff were continuously at fault. A service charge was included in the bill, making us believe that group parties are instantly treated like crap due to the waiters getting their tip regardless. While I'm accustomed to seeing this on group bills, it generally comes with good service, so I've never been annoyed with the prospect of having to be forced to pay for such poor service. We had planned to continue the night with a few drinks in Tengu, but were so furious at the poor treatment, we left. I can't UN-RECCOMEND this place enough. read more

Probably the best sushi place in Dublin! Reservation is always better because it was always busy when I went there! Great place - 5 STARS! read more

Love this place, Great prices and amazing staff - I love going here and I will continue to be a regular goer ,

Used to go here nearly once a week but not as often anymore!! I used to love Yamamori and I still really enjoy the food but unfortunately their portion sizes have decreased and their prices have increased!!! It's nearly impossible to get a table at the weekend without a booking and there's always a buzz in there during the week. It seems to be doing great business but I just can't stand feeling like I'm being ripped off! We used to order a particular dessert off the menu to share as it was big enough for two. We went back a couple of weeks later, ordered the same dessert, to find it was half the size! I never complain but on this occasion it really annoyed me so I said something. The waitress tried to reassure me that the desserts are all weighed and that it may look smaller but it was still the same portion size/quantity. They offered us an extra scoop of ice-cream as a sort of good will gesture I guess but really it just annoyed me further. We don't go to Yamamori Sushi as often now but if we were to go there are lots of lovely dishes to choose from. The bento boxes can be really good! read more

Ok so this place is expensive for me, but your paying for what you get. And its not expensive for how good the food is. This place has the best dumplings i have had in my life and the best ebi tempura. With the tempura they have really good breadcrumbs and little details like that, is what makes the difference. Everything here is so rich and so well put together, for example, desert wise i got cheesecake and it was the heaviest most filling cheesecake ive had in my life and the portion was barely a sliver, but i was stuffed!!! read more

We are regulars in both yamamori noodles and sushi , defo in there once every 3 weeks or so . Incredible food is the main reason but the staff are a very close second . We in 25 miles from city centre but go in just to eat there . read more

I've been a regular for 5 years and I can't have enough. The staff is carefully hired as they are all very nice and professional. Sashimi is always of good quality. The norimaki specials are pure art, nice, filling and colorful! I like every single thing in the menu. Keep it up guys! read more

Feel like the quality of the food has dropped lately. I used to love this place for lunch years ago, and recent started working in town again. Huge difference these days! Beef stew of all things in the bento box is a bit stingy, but I just had Yaki Soba with two prawns (they're easy to count!) and some very brown meat from a chicken's undercarriage that I avoided. I much prefer the Korean restaurant round the corner off Liffey St. Much nicer and the food is literally half the price. read more

Great customer service, great cocktails. Their bento boxes are delicious and great value.

Interesting menu, quite adventurous. However I find the front of house staff quite rude and dismissive if you arrive without a booking.

A top notch restaurant, Service is quick polite and courteous, food is nice and healthy. Atmosphere is also relaxing. They also have a bar with a great selection whiskeys. read more

This newer location of Yamamori opened up a couple of years ago. It seems to be a little less busy than the George's St. location, but I've seen it pretty crowded as well. It's convenient if you're over on the other side of the Liffey. I think the menu is identical here with options for vegans and vegetarians. I've certainly had better Japanese food in Japan and in the US, but Yamamori is decent. read more

Very disappointing. The waiter rushed us to order, refused to accommodate the vegetarian diet of one in our party who wanted a teriyaki grill plate without meat or seafood, never checked on our table once the food came out and never refilled our drinks. The food was average and Overpriced. They charge 1 euro for tap water and charged for wasabi with the sushi as well. I don't recommend this place and I usually love sushi and hibachi. read more

This was a welcome change from the varying degrees of pub food my husband and I encountered in Ireland. The sushi was delicious, as were the ramen, gyoza and cocktails. Service and portion size was great too. Look unassuming and small from the street but it is huge and beautiful inside! read more

I have been there last november and I must say there was the worst japanese food I have never tasted. I have a lot of japanese friends and they always cook real japanese food for me and I do the same in return for them, I have visited dozen places and I have always eaten japanese food there, I have been to Japan too and I think japanese food here is poor. Tea was watered-down, misoshiru (soup) was watery, bento box was extremely expensive (18 euro, I have tasted a better one in Madrid just for 10 euro) and there was a non-japanese disgusting food inside of it. Umeshu was delicious just because it has not been cooked there! I told all these things to the owner because he asked to me about it but I have never knew who he was until I have told this to him. Maybe he will try to improve some things but I will never be back again. read more

Have been to both this restaurant and the one on George St.. The food is very expensive....it's a rip off. It's tasteless and bland and the portions are tiny. Never going here again as I have been twice. The staff even packed us into a tight corner in front of the main window in an attempt to bring in customers instead of giving us a decent table with some space. read more

Great little place right by the river in Dublin! Eat here...

Slightly disappointed by this place. For early bird, you have to come before 5.30. I had the vegetarian plate and it was not a wise choice. Very little flavour. Strange plate, with goats cheese. Cant judge their sushis from that so ill give another try. However i felt rushed and disturbed constantly by the waiters who tried to clear my plate 3 times (may have been slow but still) tried to sell me another beer and my friend another coffee... So on. Finally they did not want to give us separate bills, or calculate how much each owed. You feel unwelcome and rushed out. I can imagine there are sushi places out there with less industrius atmospheres. read more

Enjoyed our meal here. Ramen noodles were well prepared and the teriyaki plates were just what we wanted- smaller, lighter meals with fresh vegetables and brown rice. Servers were attentive and the setting was modern and attractive. If we were in Dublin longer, we would have returned. read more

Tasty food, well priced.

I find the service a bit poor in Yamamori. I went twice this week - I was in for lunch at Ormond Quay and for dinner at the Izakaya on George`s Street - and though what I chose to eat was good, I was not impressed with the service. I felt rushed to pay the bill at Ormond Quay during a very quiet lunchtime. I got no courtesy tea (the free tea while ordering) on either occasion. Do they pick and choose who gets free tea? And does it depend on what or how much you are ordering? I did notice another table at the Izakaya with a pot of tea between 2 people so I was thinking did they have to specifically ask for it and were they going to be paying for it like I was? A single pot of tea is only 1.85 but if it`s that little, they should give it for free by giving one cup and then refills on request. They make plenty of money from the food to make up for they money they lose from the tea!! On a previous occasion at Yamamori at Ormond Quay a few months back, it took way too long for my dish - tempura - to arrive at my table and there was no real apology for it either nor any way of making up for it. It wasn`t even that nice then. The food is still generally very nice though and I loved the ramen, which I had at ormond quay, which is why I will give it a three. Despite my complaints, I probably will go back again, though as much out of laziness - looking for a new Japanese place is too much hassle - as for the food. Also, to be fair when I arrived at the izakaya in george`s street, they asked me I had been there before and I said `yeah` thinking it was a strange question (but maybe the guy was used to seeing who was regular and I definitely am not, not being from Dublin) and they told me that the menus had changed and was that ok? I said yeah sure so they seated me then (between two full tables, a bit uncomfortable on my own). So at least they were being informative. I wonder now was the lack of tea part of the menu change in that it was put on the menu with a price. I`ve heard from a friend who once worked there that the bosses don`t like their staff being too chatty with the customers. Ok they`re busy but still it seems to be all about getting people fed, getting their money, and then sending them out the door again. Yes, I know all restaurants have this objective but a bit of chat with the customer goes a long way. read more

great place for lunch. friendly staff, my fav dish is beef or salmon teriyaki.. and i love miso soup so much, writing this review at 1am i'm hungry just to think about their food :D i give it 4 star because i have a really dry yakisoba once :( read more

my 13 yr old daughter is an avid fan of japanese cuisine and was looking for somewhere special to eat on her birthday. looked up on this site & so far yamamori had d most positive reviews. booked for a table (good thing i did since her bday falls on a saturday & d place was jammed). seated straight away ordered king prawn w/ avocado sushi (to die for), salmon w/ avocado sushi, ebi tempura (OMG delish!), veg. savoury rice (healthy, yummy & light on the tummy). service is efficient, staff is friendly & helpful in a nutshell, my girl said it was the best bday meal ever. a big thanks yamamori for making her day :) we'll be defo back...just some tips: peak hours are not ideal for intimate dining, suited for friends having some catch up or family of mostly older kids. i had a 4 yr old boy with me who lives on burger & chips so we went to mcdonalds to get him a kids meal when we had our food he just had an apple juice and a handy PSP to keep him busy then we were able to enjoy it. ha! everyone went home happy & full PERIOD :) read more
