Yama Momo is a contemporary Japanese izakaya and sushi bar at 72 Lordship Lane in East Dulwich. The intimate dining room combines a lively neighbourhood atmosphere with a sushi counter, a konro grill and a full bar, creating an appealing setting for both relaxed dinners and special occasions.
Sushi ranges from nigiri and sashimi to inventive house rolls filled with salmon, tuna, lobster, soft shell crab and shrimp tempura. The Yamamomo special roll brings several kinds of seafood together, while vegan and vegetable options ensure the sushi selection offers more than one route through the menu.
Bao buns, tempura, tacos, appetisers and hand rolls encourage sharing before larger dishes arrive from the grill. Halal chicken and lamb are cut and cooked with care over the konro, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices clearly represented across the wider selection.
Sake by the carafe, Japanese beer, wine and creative cocktails complement the food, and desserts provide a final contrast to the savoury menu. Reservations and counter seats support dining in, while collection and delivery make Yama Momo equally convenient for enjoying at home in East Dulwich.
