" After several visits, I believe Yamato is a solid choice for Japanese cuisine in our area! Their sushi is fresh and flavorful, and the staff is usually attentive. I had one visit where I felt rushed, but overall it's been a positive experience, and I would recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, I tried Yamato and was utterly impressed by the quality of the sushi and tempura. Every bite was packed with flavor, especially the tempura dipping sauce that really elevated the dish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner. Highly recommend the spicy tuna rolls and the hibachi steak. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how much I enjoy Yamato! The service is always friendly and attentive. Every time I go, I try something new from their expansive menu, and I have yet to be disappointed! My favorites are the salmon avocado roll and the hibachi chicken which is always cooked to perfection. The prices are fair, especially for the quality you're getting. It’s become my go-to spot every week. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our family's visit, we found the atmosphere inviting, though it was quite busy that evening. The food was decent but not memorable. The portions were satisfactory, and the hibachi grill drew our attention with the theatrics of the chef. Although the ingredients tasted fresh, the lack of seasoning left us wanting more flavor. Perhaps it was a one-time oversight, but we might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has so much potential! The food was fresh and flavorful, but our server seemed overwhelmed. I tried the tempura shrimp and it was delightful, but my husband found his chicken hibachi to be just average. We had to wait quite a bit for our drinks to be refilled too. I'd be open to returning to see if they can improve their service consistency because the food itself had promise. " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time we went to Yamato, my husband and I were hoping for a relaxing dinner out. While the service was good, we noticed they seemed to be understaffed. Our food took a while to arrive, and unfortunately, my steak was overcooked. The flavors were good but not outstanding. I have had better experiences here, so I hope they can address these inconsistencies in the kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the best dining experience at Yamato! The food was fresh and perfectly cooked, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. The ambiance is charming and lively, which made the night even more enjoyable. Can't recommend this place enough if you're in DeFuniak! " (*Curated Review*)
