    Not my first time in this restaurant, and certainly not the last! This place impresses me with delicious, fresh flavours on every single visit. Cocktails are a must, especially the Geisha Negroni! When you’re there, try the ell & foie grass sushi, delicious!

    Izakaya is a vibrant and charming spot that delivers a truly authentic Japanese dining experience with a modern twist. From the moment you step inside, the inviting atmosphere and stylish decor set the tone for a memorable evening. The menu offers a well-curated selection of small plates and shareable dishes that are both creative and flavorful. Each bite feels thoughtfully prepared, with standout items like their signature sushi rolls, succulent yakitori, and perfect sushi. The drink menu complements the food beautifully, featuring a carefully selected range of sake, Japanese whiskeys, and refreshing cocktails. Service is consistently attentive and friendly, adding to the overall warm and welcoming vibe of the place.

    For such high quality food, the price is so reasonable ! The decor is so stunning and the staff are ridiculously helpful and knowledgeable about the food. Mugi was our service and she was incredible! We had a mix of sushi, fish and meat, and as a vegetarian, there was also TONES for me to choose from, which I was so grateful for! I'll definitely be back. Thank you!

    I order a special chef plate and it’s really small portion
    Yamamori Izakaya Japas & SakeResponded on 1 April 2025
    Hi Felipe, thank you so much for your feedback. We're delighted that you enjoyed the service and the ambiance! We're sorry to hear that we didn't meet your expectations in terms of portion sizes. As you might know, there are many factors like; staff cost, energy cost, premium produce we use as well as city centre location that reflect in the pricing of our food and drinks. We sincerely hope you will visit us again ;) Kind regards, Izakaya.
