Lovely evening and gorgeous food. After desert we were left for over 30 mins to see if we wanted coffee or a drink. So grabbed the cheque and left.

We had an amazing birthday dinner at Yamamori last night! Our waitress was extremely helpful and patient with us as it took us a while to order due to the variety on the menu (recommend checking the menu beforehand). All the staff were also very attentive and made sure our table was clean in between our meals etc. The food itself was delicious and we felt that you could not go wrong with any meal you ordered. We also order some drinks - the wine and beer was nice and the cocktail we had was also great. One thing we would have changed was perhaps the lighting in the dining area itself, it could have been turned down a bit, so it wasn’t so bright, but otherwise the atmosphere was great and lively! 10/10 recommend, especially for a bigger group/ family meal!

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.
