Yamamori in Dublin

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars Had a fantastic experience at Izakaya Tapas & Sake. The food was outstanding — fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. A special thank you to Christine, our waitress, who was absolutely brilliant. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Her service really elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend this place for amazing food, great vibes, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely, great food and vegan options. Thanks also to Rose our server🌹 🥰

Popped in here on a Tuesday night after work. Food was lovely but the service was fantastic. Evelyn really took care of us. Hope to come back soon. A

Myself and two friends dined at Yamamori Izakaya on George’s Street yesterday for lunch. We have eaten there previously and had good experiences, which makes yesterday’s visit all the more disappointing and the reason I feel compelled to leave this review. There are three main issues that need to be highlighted. Firstly, while the Hot Stone Wagyu Beef was flavourful, the portion size was frankly unacceptable. For €26.95 we were served just seven tiny pieces of meat, each no more than approximately 6cm in size. This is completely disproportionate to the price and borders on blatant overcharging. Secondly, the wine list is both extremely limited and outrageously priced. The cheapest bottle of white wine available was €47, with prices going as high as €62. As regular and experienced restaurant-goers, we are accustomed to enjoying good-quality wines at fair and reasonable prices. Yamamori Izakaya’s pricing is excessively inflated and entirely unjustifiable. Management should seriously reconsider their wine selection and include options that are realistically priced. Finally, there is a mandatory 12.5% service charge applied to tables of three or more. This is another unacceptable practice. We have no issue paying for good service, but imposing a compulsory service charge on a table of just three people is unreasonable and off-putting. While we did enjoy the food, the combination of poor value, excessive pricing, and questionable charging practices means that unless these issues are addressed, none of us will be returning.
