Yamamori Izakaya is one of those places that makes you forget you're in Europe and transports you straight to Japan. The atmosphere is warm, modern, and vibrant, with soft lighting, perfect music, and a contagious energy that makes the evening special from the very first moment.
We tried several dishes, and one after another, they were spectacular: the fragrant and flavorful gyoza, the duck pancakes surprisingly balanced and flavorful, the ultra-fresh tuna sushi crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the crispy and light fried chicken, and the soft and authentic takoyaki, just like at the best izakayas in Tokyo.
Special praise goes to the staff, who are truly exceptional: kind, smiling, and professional, capable of creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere without ever compromising efficiency. It's rare to find such attentive and genuine service.
A place that combines quality, atmosphere, and humanity: absolutely not to be missed for anyone who loves Japanese cuisine or simply wants to experience an unforgettable evening in Dublin.

We went twice, the gyozas and the salmon hosomaki were delicious!

I had a fantastic experience at Yamamori Izakaya! From the moment we arrived, everything was spot on — the food was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was a hit, and you could really taste the quality and care that went into the preparation.
The service was equally great, it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I want to give a special shoutout to our waitress, Evelyn, who went above and beyond. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive!
I’d highly recommend, and can’t wait to come back again!

Absolutely outstanding across the board - so good I came right back the next night. Already looking forward to returning again next time I'm in Dublin, for the best takoyaki I've ever had.

Great food and atmosphere, the staff including Annika and Fiona are fantastic. I stumbled here randomly while in Dublin for work and had to come back a second time during my visit.
