   Food was excellent and so was the service, place was busy but order still came swiftly. Look forward to a revisit. Was a bit noisy but can't really do much about how loud some people talk. Overall, loved it.

   The food was perfect as usual, but the staff kept reminding us of what time they needed the table back. We had the table for 90 minutes and because the service was slow we had to skip deserts and cut the dining short, because the table was needed. My wife and I had booked a table for 2 days in advance and arrived a few minutes early but we were rushed out of there after 2 courses and rushed drinks. Empty seats all around. We weren’t being slow with our meal but the system didn’t allow us to continue eating and spending. It took the shine off the occasion. Strange experience for a well established restaurant.

   Overall excellent - especially quality of food and the staff. Only issue is lack of vegan options - there is one. It was delicious, but if the batter was made without eggs then loads of the vegetarian options could be come vegan. Easy to make batter without eggs!

   Hi Ruairí, Thank you so much for your kind words about the quality of our food and staff — we're thrilled to hear you had a positive experience! We apologize for any confusion regarding our vegan options. In fact, 16 out of our 17 vegetarian dishes can be made vegan or are already vegan. It seems there may have been a miscommunication during your visit. Just to clarify, our tempura does contain egg in the batter, but we truly appreciate your feedback and will take your suggestion into consideration as we continue to refine our menu. We’re always looking for ways to improve and expand our options for vegan guests, and we hope you'll give us another chance to provide an even better experience next time. Thanks again for your valuable feedback! Kind regards, Yamamori South city

   Very good food, service operated by nice and kind ladies. Disappointed when ordered the dessert and it arrived with a hair on the cheese cake and a waiter, that was not in charge of our table, took the dish, lift the hair like comparing it with my daughter hairs and took the dish away towards the bar and got back minutes after with a dish like the one ordered arriving from the bar direction. Pity not really the same service and kindness the waitress and lady manager used to till that moment.

   Hi Stefano. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the experience with your dessert, especially after what seemed like an otherwise enjoyable meal. We understand how disappointing this must have been.. The waiter’s intent was simply to understand the issue, and he did not mean to make any inappropriate comparisons. We regret any misunderstanding this may have caused. Once aware, our bartender quickly prepared a fresh dessert. We’re grateful for your kind words about the service and staff, and regret that this incident affected your experience. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re committed to handling situations like this with greater care moving forward. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you back for a more enjoyable visit.

   We really enjoyed our visit to Yamamori South; the food was excellent and is a real hit with my family. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the difficulty for me to find Gluten Free options easily. Yamamori has an extensive menu but unlike practically all restaurants these days there is no indication what contains allergens. There is an old fashioned excel type spreadsheet of the allergens but it's too difficult to relate this to the main menu. There are so many people aware of allergens these days I can't understand why Yamamori has such an out-dated system. Although our server was knowledgeable about what I could and couldn't have there's so much on the menu it was hard to remember which ones contained gluten. As my son's and their girlfriends love Yamamori it's ideal for a family celebration but I would be reluctant to go back due to my difficulty reading the menu......if it's brought up to date, we'll definitely be back.

   Dear Cara, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're really glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed our food!– it's wonderful to know that your family loves it. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the allergen information. We're currently in the process of updating our allergen system to make it easier for guests to navigate, and we completely understand your frustration with the current setup. We agree that an updated and clearer system is needed, and we’re working hard to improve it. We sincerely apologise for any hassle this caused during your visit. We’d love to welcome you and your family back once our updated system is in place, and we’re confident it will make for an even better experience. Thank you again for your valuable feedback! Kindest regards,

    Atmosphere and service are good. The maki rolls are not very good they have too much rice and not enough fish.
