We thought this place was tourist friendly because it had a fully, well-translated menu on Tabelog, but it's not. The owner just used ChatGPT to translate the menu and put it up on Tabelog. None of the workers put in any effort to speak even a few words of English with obvious tourists. Midway through the tasting menu (which I bought because I wouldn't need to talk as much Japanese) the waitress tried to get us to buy more food outside of the tasting menu in full Japanese. If I didn't know basic Japanese it would have been a very uncomfortable experience. The food is fine, nothing special and too expensive for what you get.

Its good but i didnt see a reason to give it a 5 star. I mean the price the food atmosphere and the service was just as good as 4 star for this area i think. Nothing exceptionaly good.

Yanmo is located in B1 amongst the hustle and bustle of shopping boutiques near Omotesando station. We walked in at 545pm without a reservation on Saturday. Despite a 6pm starting time, we got seated immediately with only one condition that we must leave by 8pm before the next reservation. The staff was very attentive and the local Japanese regional dishes were Outstanding. Some of the seafood pickles were very pungent, not for the faint hearted but full of umami. The grilled yellow tail is highly recommended. We left full and happy, had our tastebuds satisfied, outstanding value at ¥8000 each (food only). Excellent value!

Honestly, my fave meal in Japan. Freshest big thick cut of fish with amazing hot Japanese rice. The vibe was great and service was top!

Yanmo is a beautiful restaurant which serves the best grilled fish I ve had ever had. The place is set as reflection of Japan, modern and traditional. Dashi is giving character to all the small entries you can order be it Komatsuna (sort of spinach) or dashimaki (omelette) and Tofu. To all visitors I wish the same wonderful experience. Enjoy and embrace the Japanese culture through food and sake 🍶 🐟
