    The place was empty with other diners were present but the staff presented me the bill without me requesting it and then brought the machine over to pay. I didn’t give them any indication I wanted to leave and felt they were pushing me and my wife out. It was strange Food was good

    Hi Stephen, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the experience you described, as this is not how we aim to treat our valued guests. At our establishment, we only present the bill upon request or when it seems the the dining experience has concluded. It's possible there was a miscommunication in this instance, and we're truly sorry if it came across as though you were being rushed. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a more seamless experience in the future.

    We got a last minute table for two at the counter the weekend before Christmas. The service and food were amazing - it's not super cheap, but we felt like we had value for money.

    Delicious foods but tiny portions and we don’t have big appetites. The drinks were also lovely. All the staff we met were really excellent

    Unfortunately we did not have a good experience eating at this restaurant in the basement for the set menu. Although it was a very busy place, the food was mediocre. The noise level was enough to make you want to eat and run as quickly as possible. I would never return there as we were relieved the moment we left. Way too expensive for what you get. There are so many other places that have better food and lower noise level in Dublin.

    Food was overall good but it seems pricey for the amount of food you get. Also, the mandatory service charge after a 3 people table is not deserving of the actual service you get.
    Yamamori Izakaya Japas & SakeResponded on December 19, 2024
    Hi Mariu, thanks s much for your feedback. We're disappointed to see that your visit did not meet your expectations. To clarify, we use high quality ingredients from reputable sources, while operating in a prime city centre location that reflects in our prices. When it comes to the service charge we would be more than happy to remove it should you find our service inadequate. We really hope you will give us another try. Kind regards, Izakaya.

    Lovely ambience anf delicious food as always! The 5 Japas for 45 euros was a great value, and definitely enough for 2 people if you want also to taste some sushi.

    Food was tasty but you didn't get much, considering the cost. We ordered a share plate of sushi for €21 and received only 5 pieces between 2 people which I thought was odd. Again, food was nice but portions were a bit scabby. Staff were very friendly and service was okay but I imagine that was due to how busy the place was with Christmas parties, etc.
