" Yamato is a hidden treasure! The quality of the food is excellent, particularly their sushi. I had the pleasure of trying their spicy tuna roll which was exquisite. The staff is friendly, and service was quick. The cozy atmosphere makes it ideal for family dinners. I’ll definitely return soon to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Yamato and overall, it was a positive experience. The staff were warm and welcoming. I ordered the chef's special sushi platter, which was a great value for the amount of food. The only downside was the wait time for our drinks; they arrived after the food. Still, I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to several sushi places, and Yamato stands out for its authentic flavors and friendly service. The atmosphere is perfect for both family dinners and dates. I loved the salmon sushi, which was incredibly fresh. Prices are reasonable, making this restaurant one of my favorites in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very let down by my experience at Yamato. The food wasn't as authentic as I was hoping. I ordered sushi, and some pieces tasted refrigerated and lacking freshness. While the atmosphere was nice, the service was very slow and the waiting staff seemed overwhelmed. I might give it another try, but I’m not sure if I'll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I'm kind of picky when it comes to sushi, but Yamato did not disappoint. The fish was incredibly fresh and the rolls were so flavorful. They even have gluten-free options, which my friend appreciated. Service was polite but could be speedier. Overall, a place I’d highly recommend for sushi lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Can't praise Yamato enough. It's a gem in Portsmouth! The sushi is authentic, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. I've never had a bad meal there. The only downside is that it gets busy, so go early if you want a quiet meal. Overall, it's always worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not quite what I expected. The sushi was good but didn’t have that authentic touch. The interior décor was nice, but it felt a bit cramped. We had to wait a while for our food, but when it arrived, it was hot and fresh. I might return, hoping for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)
