" Yamato offers a beautiful balance of great service and delicious food. During my family visit, we ordered various dishes and noticed they all brought their own unique flavors to the table. Though we had a slight wait, the staff kept us informed throughout the process. I appreciated their kindness and attentiveness. I left very satisfied and already plan to return for another family dinner soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply a delightful restaurant! Their sushi rolls are a must-try and the hibachi is cooked to perfection every time. On my last visit, I ordered their special roll, and it was filled with exquisite flavors, paired beautifully with their homemade dipping sauce. The only downside was the wait time—though worth it for the quality of the food! The staff were lovely and made the experience even more enjoyable. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a great place for takeout, look no further than Yamato! I've ordered several times, and everything has been consistently good, from the sushi rolls to the teriyaki chicken. It’s packed nicely, and I haven't had a single mix-up with my orders yet. They seem to pay attention to detail, which is appreciated. The only drawback is limited seating if you choose to try. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Yamato was quite the experience. Walking in, you can tell they have a theme going on, with lovely Japanese decor. I found the staff to be exceedingly polite, which added to the delightful environment. We started with an assortment of appetizers, including calamari and dumplings; they were top-notch. I got a hibachi dish that was phenomenal – moist and cooked just right. My husband enjoyed a sushi platter. The only downside was that we had to wait for a bit during a busy time, but the food made it all worth it. Definitely a hidden gem in Madison! " (*Curated Review*)

" Each visit to Yamato has been a culinary delight! The bento boxes are beautifully presented and come with a variety of tastes. Their miso soup is hands down one of the best I’ve had! The atmosphere is comfortable and stylish; perfect for casual dining or celebrating a special occasion. I find the prices reasonable for the quality of the food. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem that deserves to be more widely known! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had wanted to try Yamato for quite some time and finally went for lunch. Unfortunately, I did not find it quite as exciting as expected. The sushi was decent, but I have enjoyed better elsewhere. The service was also lagging, as we had to wait quite a while before receiving our orders. The setting was pleasant, yet I felt disappointed with how the food didn’t fully meet my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a date night planned and chose Yamato, thinking it’s perfect for some sushi rolls. I was somewhat disappointed, as my partner’s order was incorrect and the roll flavors were lackluster. The staff seemed overwhelmed—it could be due to the busy evening. While the atmosphere was nice, I left feeling unsatisfied. I might try dining here again but I’ll be cautious. " (*Curated Review*)
