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.

    Ordered the Veg Bento Box (plus a starter!). The bento box was ample so the starter was unnecessary. Had an Asahi beer & one glass of organic wine. It was delicious - all of it - and the waiter was attentive & courteous. I’m sure I’m old because it was SO noisy! However, it was just full of people having a good time so the fault lies with me.

    Whenever I come with my group to Yamamori South City for a meal, the food and service are always excellent, and our latest visit was no exception. However, coming as a group, the one difficulty we have is that the restaurant is a big place and always very full already at 6pm on a Saturday, so the noise level is always very high. That means we can only follow conversations with group members seated closest to us at the table, and not with the whole group; and a couple of times, members who use hearing aids have decided not to come along, as it is difficult for them to enjoy the experience. As the conversation is an important part of the evening for us, we may find it suits us better to eat at smaller places where it is less noisy. That does not reflect badly in any way on Yamamori, who cannot be faulted for being extremely popular! It is simply something that other people may wish to know before booking a table for a group.

    Hi Barbara, Thank you very much for your time to give us a great review! We are very pleased to hear you had a great time ;) And thank you for your feed back as well. Yes that is true, as we gets busy, the energy and conversation can pick up and we understand that it can sometimes make it harder to talk. However, we have a little bit quiet atmosphere during a week. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday these days are what we recommend to dine if you are looking for quieter environment and I think these are great days to catch up with your friends without hassle ;) -Also usually there is no time limit on these days too!- But thank you again for visiting and leave us a honest and great review! Looking forward to having you guys back! Kind regards, Yamamori south city

    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.
