" I had one of my worst dining experiences at Yamato. The sushi I ordered was not fresh at all, the rice was overly mushy, and the rolls fell apart. I mentioned this to the manager, but he seemed indifferent. The atmosphere was okay, but I felt every table was sticky, which is just unacceptable for sushi dining. I really do hope they can improve because the menu has potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamato has become my go-to for takeout. I love their shrimp tempura roll! It’s always fresh and comes with a delightful sweet glaze. However, my most recent visit was marred by an unkempt restaurant interior and sticky floors. It made the overall experience less enjoyable. Still, I believe the delicious food makes up for it. Just be prepared for the atmosphere to not match the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent trip was better than past visits! The curry rice was spot on, and the spice levels were great! My server was attentive and checked on us frequently. The vibe in the restaurant felt warm and friendly, despite some quirks in décor. Definitely a favorable experience this time around! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food; the shrimp dumplings were the highlight of my meal! Generous portion sizes and very reasonable prices. The service was prompt, and my server was friendly. Overall, a delightful dining experience despite a slightly dusty atmosphere. Definitely planning a return visit soon, especially for those dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamato is an ok choice for sushi, but it doesn't hold a candle to other places I’ve tried. My last visit had quality issues, which is disappointing, but the ambiance was nice and the service was fair. With a little more focus on authentic taste, they could improve more sustainably. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamato has been a mixed bag for me. I’ve had some excellent meals, particularly the fried rice and hibachi steak, which were cooked perfectly! However, I’ve had inconsistent service where orders were mixed up, and the waitress forgot my drink twice. If they can improve their service consistency, I believe it could elevate the dining experience significantly. Will keep coming back, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was enjoyable, especially the flavor-packed chicken teriyaki! Portion sizes were substantial, but I do wish they had more options for vegetarian dishes. The ambiance felt outdated, and the decor could use a refresh. The service was decent, but there were some slip-ups in our orders, which made things a bit confusing. Overall, it's a solid place for a casual night out. " (*Curated Review*)
