Tasty food but wouldn’t go back because of the poor service. We requested the food to be served all at once but of course did not happen - this was forgivable. However one of the main meals took over 1 hour to be served and with 4 different waiters saying ‘it’s coming any minute now’ ‘the chef said it’s already done’ ‘it’s coming in 3-4minutes’ .. it was ridiculous. They should’ve communicated with each other before approaching the table. The food is lovely but the service was such a let down.

Food was amazing, from starters to desserts. Service was great, but a little bit slow due to going at peak time. I will be coming back.

I know this restaurant and its sister restaurant in Clapham, Tsunami well. I know the owner Ken and the standard of the food and the service have always been impeccable. I have not been to either for a while as have been out of London. However this visit was not good primarily because the staff seem both unaware of what the food is and how it is served. Some old favourites tasted the same although some had been changed to appear more "english" also all the food came at once and not in stages as expected and requested. Except the sushi and when we chased it were told by the "manager" it was late because they had a lot of take away orders. This restaurant is not by any means cheap and to be told that is insulting. I do hope Ken sorts this out as it is a real shame.

This is a fun place, with a broadly Japanese menu. Our cocktails were colourful and inventive. Starters of tuna tataki and aubergine were flavourful, the mixed tempura pleasant if lacking zing. Main courses of black cod, sea bass, and salmoln in various guises were all of high quality. Desserts were fun like the cocktails. Picpoul de Pinet was fairly priced. The ambience is attractive and diners of a range of ages were enjoying themselves; worth knowing if you are over 60 like us that we found no problem hearing each other in the busy, galley-shaped room. Service was friendly and fluent.

We visited Yama Momo on Valentine’s Day this year in the evening. The restaurant was decorated to celebrate the occasion which was stunning, they put in a real effort. We were seated quickly and once seated within 10 minutes our waiter was there to take our order, we were hungry so this was a bonus. Our food and drinks came at a decent pace, once we finished one dish the other would arrive. Food came at a decent temperature and we enjoyed. The only negative thing I have to say is the place is quite small and it feels like you’re on top of each other, there is barely any room between the tables or any room to walk around the restaurant. Other than that, on a whole I’d give this place a strong 8/10. We will definitely be back.

Have been many times but felt tonight was a disappointment. We arrived on time at 6pm and said we could only have our table for one hour after being moved from crowded and noisy table. So we had food fast and left. Such a shame because we felt like an imposter, our welcome was frosty from the young lady. Didn’t have time for drinks or dessert and was given our bill promptly

A group of us booked here for a much needed catch up after a really stressful time at work as teachers. When we arrived we informed the manager AJ that despite we had originally booked for 4 there would be more of us coming which he said was fine. However, despite ordering drinks and preparing to order food he came over shortly after and said the table next to us was not available. We queried this based on his previous reassurance and he could not give a proper answer as to when customers were due. He then brought a walk in customer to one of the tables despite the fact we were using it and spending a lot of money on drinks (we had given up on food at this point as he had made us feel unwelcome) and then blamed us for the customer leaving. This was a clear contradiction as he had said the tables were booked yet was offering them to walk ins despite the fact we were offering our custom. When more of our party arrived as pre warned he told them they could not be accommodated despite the fact there were multiple empty tables and he refused them access which was extremely demeaning. We decided to leave and give our custom to Megan's across the road which was extremely welcoming and accommodating. This was a really disheartening experience and there was no clear reason as to why we were made to feel unwelcome and no effort made by AJ to accommodate us or make us feel comfortable. I previously was a regular visitor but now myself and my colleagues will not be returning here despite being local to the area and would advise against this place if you are a non white person or group who would like to feel welcome somewhere. We paid the bill in full but asked for the service charge to be removed due to the inhospitality which they queried which again showed the lack of self awareness. It is such a shame as I used to think highly of this place and was a regular patron. After this experience I would not recommend it and will not be returning and at least we know how the management and service is under AJ.

Booking for six people for my son’s birthday. Didn’t start off well by standing by the entrance bar and the hostess ignoring us for about five minutes without a word even though we were standing right in front of her. Seated fine, but then had to ask for menus. Once we had looked at these we then had to ask to order drinks. Same thing happened again with the food, surely it shouldn’t be difficult to come over to a table and serve people? Food arrived, two mains missing, no apology, no comms as to how long it would take to rectify, meanwhile everyone else was eating. 15-20 minutes later one of the dishes (rice) arrived but not the chicken which was to be another 10 minutes by which time everyone else would have finished so cancelled. We had to ask for everything and the staff seemed completely oblivious to them working in a service industry. Asked for the birthday cake which duly arrived, with spoons but no plates. Had to ask again. The food was average at best but the service was abysmal. To add insult to injury I then had to explain to the manager why I didn’t want to pay the service charge. First and last visit.

Food quality from starter to Main has declined, no taste , no aroma , no seasoning in the food. The sauce I taught or paste on sushi and on my steak was absolutely disgusting.

We have always been big fans of Yama Momo and its sister restaurant Tsunami in Clapham. The food last night was very good, as always, but the service was seriously lacking. Some of the staff were either very new or just not familiar with what was required, drinks (a bottle of wine) took ages, we had to wait a long time to place an order (by which time we fortunately had a more experienced waitress) and the bill was incorrect with the 20% early evening discount missing and a cocktail that we didn’t order as they didn’t have the ingredients!) At £400, I expect excellent service and exceptional food. Whilst the food was very good, the service really didn’t match it. I hope that the team can step it up as they will really struggle when full (last night was quiet) and we would hate for the restaurant to leave Lordship Lane.

I recently dined at a Jama Momorestaurant that exceeded expectations on every level. From the impeccable service to the exquisite presentation of dishes, each aspect showcased a commitment to excellence. The menu featured a diverse range of authentic Japanese flavors, and each dish was a culinary masterpiece. The ambiance added to the overall experience, creating a perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. It’s evident that the chefs prioritize quality ingredients, and the attention to detail was remarkable. Without a doubt, this restaurant sets a high standard for Japanese dining, making it a must-visit for enthusiasts of Japanese cuisine.

This was my first trip back to Yama Momo in a while and I was very impressed. It was surprisingly busy for a Monday night so had good ambience, but you could still easily hold a conversation without worrying about noise. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive. And the sushi and sashimi (all we ate) were as good as ever. We also had a bottle of wine, and I thought the final bill was very reasonable for eating out these days.

some good dishes and some slightly average : miso soup was good, nasu goma (aubergine) was excellent. In the mixed tempura the broccoli and prawn were good, courgette rather bland. Tuna and truffle mayo sushi rolls very good , tiger rolls nothing special. chicken katsu don buri : the katsu was rather dry, there wasn't a sauce, the rice was heavy. Overall service was very good , prices a bit high - other local places such as sushi revolution give you more for less. Glad we went but don't expect to go back.

Warning:Long review P.S please read Yama momo.Yama momo is a japanese restaurant on lordship lane in dulwich.Yama momo has amazing Japanese cuisine. The atmosphere is very calm and has beautiful decoration such as lucky cats,cherry blossoms and a dark theme.And for the food,my personal favourites are udon,edamame,miso soup and salmon teriyaki.The public review is 4.4 stars out of 5,But my personal opinion is 5 stars. I think the udon and salmon teriyaki are amazing,but they have many more options you will adore.In conclusion,I suggest you should eat there as soon as you get the chance

Nice restaurant with a great food and service. My husband and I arrived too early (due to my mistake) but we were accommodated with no issues. The lunch was amazing, drinks were nice and service lovely. The only thing we would suggest is to change the music, as the one we have heard was no aligning with the ambience. Japan is a country of harmony and the music was not fitting with the surroundings. It does not have to be Japanese music. It can be a classic music, violin or even a smooth jazz would do. All in all it was a great experience.

Sadly we LOVED Yama Momo but last night it was a shambles. They were trialling a new look menu and a halloween menu - BUT the level of Deliveroo deliveries impacted badly on the guests dining in the restaurant and we were waiting for a long time for our Edamame beans then of our starters Katafi Prawns and Salt & Pepper Squid after a gap of at least half an hour and several prompts to the staff only the prawns were served. We paid for our drinks and the manageress waived the beans and prawns. It was like no other experience we've ever had there. You ask if we would recommend and usually it would be a wholehearted YES but after last night I'm not so sure.

We come here fairly regularly and despite the good food, are always disappointed with the service. It wouldn’t matter so much if you weren’t paying central London prices. Drinks didn’t arrive of time, there were lazy waiters not paying attention to any of the guests, one even declaring loudly how bored he was. This really made me a little infuriated as we paid our £137 bill. Food tastes great, just bear with the student cafe service and lack of leadership from the management team when trying to discuss this.

Overall, it was a good experience. Most of the food was very delicious indeed. The scallops were shockingly awful. The drinks were excellent but took an absolute age to come to the table, Yama Momo lost making more money from me as I was sitting for long periods of time with an empty glass as I was happy to buy plenty more. The place was very busy, I recommend more bar staff to keep up with the demand for cocktails as I know it is time consuming making such creative beverages. All three of us had a great night, though. Thank you to all of the staff as they were friendly and polite.

As usual, great service and delicious food!! There is new management in place, new decor and staff but really helpful. Great cocktails, helpful chef (allergy in group) and high standards. Food is freshly prepared and sushi house specials are absolutely fab!!!

Visited many times before and it’s always been fantastic. This time was a little different. The food was still good (maybe not quite as good as previously) and the ambience was a bit dead for a Saturday night. The service was also slightly all over the place (general attention to detail and lack of focus on details such as providing the right cutlery needed for the meal). It just feels like a bit more focus was needed from the management/staff on the guest experience, particularly considering the price point of the restaurant. But it might have just been an off night and I’ll definitely go back again.

Great food - couldn’t fault a single dish. Dragon rolls were amazing, chilli squid divine. Quiet for a Saturday night. Highly recommend the food

Awful dinner. I ordered some food , completely wrong items arrived. The driver was not even aware , no one tried to contact me telling me about , no one answered to me . Strongly not recommendable for online order . Careless service .

Stopped here for some food on our way to see a play at The Young Vic. Our server was very nice, we enjoyed the food too. However, my wife and I don’t eat meat, only fish. She’s stricter than me as I’m a more recent convert towards a fish only diet so she wanted to ensure that the fish and meat were cooked separately before ordering. She asked the person serving us who didn’t seem sure so asked this extremely surly looking fella who was prepping food. He wasn’t just surly his response was downright rude. Not only that, whilst we were eating I was watching another person (discreetly) vaping in the food prep area. Anyway, the stars are for the friendly person who served us and the food, the average rating though is for everything else. Suffice to say we won’t return…
