" I really wanted to love Yamato because of all the positive reviews, but I left feeling disappointed. The service was terribly slow, and my meal took over 40 minutes to arrive. While the Polynesian rock shrimp was decent, the sushi was average and didn’t blow me away. I’m not sure I’ll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant exceeded my expectations! The sushi was not only fresh but also authentic. I could taste the quality in each bite. Our server was incredibly accommodating and friendly. I loved the quiet atmosphere, making it perfect for a lunch meeting. The price was very fair considering the high quality of food. Highly recommend visiting Yamato! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I need a sushi fix, Yamato is the place I turn to! The rolls are creative and always packed with flavor. I also appreciate the friendly staff. However, the restaurant can get crowded, which can mean longer wait times. Even with that, the food quality keeps me coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" In all honesty, I was a bit underwhelmed by Yamato. My sushi was somewhat bland and not as fresh as I had hoped. However, the miso soup was a highlight! The staff was friendly, and it was nice to sit outside. If you're in the area, it might be worth checking out, but I’ve had better sushi elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food, the ambiance left something to be desired. The decor seemed a bit outdated, and the noise from the kitchen was distracting. I ordered the hibachi steak, which was cooked well and came with generous portions. The service could improve, as the waitress seemed overwhelmed. Still, it's a decent place for Japanese cuisine in Portsmouth. " (*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*)
