" I ordered takeout from Yamato Express and was devastated when I got home. My shrimp was virtually tasteless, and the rice looked like it had been sitting out too long. Not impressed at all, and for the price, I expected better. I will not be returning anytime soon, if at all. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have ordered from Yamato Express multiple times hoping for improvements due to its popularity. Unfortunately, every time, I am let down. The food quality is inconsistent, and the servings have been reduced while prices increase. The last time, my chicken was undercooked and the rice was sticky. Worst of all, an employee was rude when I raised my concern. I think it's best I find a place with better standards. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to like this place, but my experience was quite disappointing. I ordered a classic hibachi chicken and was shocked by the tiny portion for the price. The chicken was dry, and the rice was clumpy. I even had to add my own sauce at home because the dish lacked flavor. I won't be returning to Yamato Express anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamato Express hasn't impressed me once. I’ve tried ordering different items in hopes of finding that one good dish, but it hasn't happened. The shrimp was overcooked, and the steak was chewy. Their prices keep climbing, while the service feels rushed. How do you expect customers to return with this kind of experience? " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Yamato Express for the first time because of recommendations, but I left feeling regretful. The food was bland and tasted very much like it had been sitting out a while. Moreover, what I got was significantly less than I expected for what I paid. I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon. It's just sad that it has potential but missed the mark entirely. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I hoped to write a positive review after trying this spot, but after my last visit, that dream is dashed. The food tasted as if it had been heated in a microwave and looked unappetizing. Chef’s special should mean good food; however, it was a total let down. With portion sizes shrinking, we won't be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamato Express used to be a go-to for me, but it seems the quality has sharply declined. I ordered a shrimp plate, and while the shrimp itself was okay, everything else felt very bland. The portion sizes have shrunk, and the prices have risen significantly. A serious letdown. I wonder if they’ve changed ownership or management because the difference is very noticeable. " (*Curated Review*)
