The manager couldn’t find our online booking when we arrived and seemed disinterested in accommodating us even though the restaurant wasn’t full. He reluctantly seated us. When he returned to take our order he was less than cordial, certainly didn’t break a smile. The food was tasty, portions were large and food was served in good time. Other members of staff were very friendly and pleasant. The prices weren’t cheap and we were slightly surprised to see that they charged a service charge of 12.5% on tables of more than 3 people which we felt was a bit steep and meant we had to reward the poor service we received. Overall a tasty meal but I won’t be returning

Really attentive staff with delicious food and lovely atmosphere. Used to eat there at least once a month before Covid and loved that it is still stupendous and even had one of the same staff members as the last time I was there which is always a good sign.

pretty overrated, food was good, service hit and miss you are unable to upgrade the alcohol on the drinks was told to do so Do you have to pay for the drink you want plus a shot separately so two drinks to get a better grade of alcohol the staff was unable to explain it in a way that was palatable or didn’t even know how much the side shot cost perhaps it was inexpensive and fine to do, But it’s completely impossible to reach that decision with all the information, not given overall, It’s pretty crowded and loud and difficult not worth it really
Yamamori North CityResponded on December 3, 2024
Hi Maya, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience. Regarding your concern about upgrading the alcohol in drinks, our cocktail pricing is based on the specific recipes we've crafted to maintain the intended balance of flavours and quality. For this reason we don't offer substitutions for more expensive spirits within the pre-set recipes. However, we do offer flexibility with our homemade lemonades, where you have the option to add a shot of your preferred spirit. This allows you to customize your drink. We apologize if this wasn't clearly communicated during your visit, and we'll work with our team to improve clarity moving forward. We truly value your feedback and hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Warm regards, North City Team.

Dear Philip, Thank you for your feedback! We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, as we didn't receive any notification through a call or OpenTable App about your delay, we had to accommodate other guests.

Fabulous food. It was piping hot and so tasty. The restaurant was buzzing, There was a great atmosphere. The only thing I could fault was the service. It was very difficult to get a waiters attention. I feel that the restaurant may have been understaffed for how busy it was. However, all staff were very pleasant. Despite this, I would highly recommend it. The other 7 diners in my group absolutely raved about the food.
