    They were so busy and still managed to look after our large group (11) with no issues. Regular table service, good food, nice atmosphere. We've been doing Xmas dinners for years as a group and this was our best location. Would recommend.

    Only issue was the 90 minute limit in the table. We never got to order a main!

    Food is normally excellent, this time the Christmas menu was very disappointing. Quantity privileged over quality it would seem. Service was rushed as well. A real pity as I love this restaurant.

    our experience was very poor, they tried to cgharge us €48 service charge for a table of 4 people and the service was poor rude and unwelcoming by the lady hostess.
    Yamamori North CityResponded on December 14, 2024
    Hi Paul, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear your experience didn't meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that you had booked our sake experience, a special pre-set menu. Unfortunately once this menu has been booked, it cannot be swapped for an a la carte option, as the chefs allocate specific ingredients and preparation time for it. Regarding the service charge, this is added for tables for 3 or more and is discretionary. Thank you for understanding and we hope you can give us another opportunity in the future to provide you with a better experience. Kind regards, North City Team.

    The food and service are still great, so no complaints, however the prices have gone through the roof unfortunately.
    Yamamori North CityResponded 7 days ago
    Hi David, Thank you for your kind words ,we are delighted to hear you enjoyed both food and service. We completely understand your concern regarding our prices. Like many businesses, we've faced significant increases in costs for ingredients, staffing, and operations, which have unfortunately influenced our pricing structure. Please know that we remain committed to providing the highest quality food and service while striving to keep value in mind. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Warm regards, North City.

    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
    Yamamori North CityResponded on December 10, 2024
    Hi Susan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the issues you experienced during your visit.It's disappointing to hear that the level of service you received from one of our staff members didn't meet the standards we strive to provide. We will be addressing this internally to ensure all our guests feel welcomed and valued from the moment they arrive. Your experience is important to us and we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Please feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to discuss this further- we'd love the opportunity to make things right. Warm regards, North City.

    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.
