" I keep coming back for the amazing sushi special! The freshness is consistently excellent, though I sometimes notice the same rice issue. The service is always excellent; the waitstaff genuinely seems to care about your experience. Generally a solid choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great local joint! The sushi is decent, on-par for Berea. The hibachi was excellent, well-cooked with great flavors. The interior is a bit dated, but have some character to it. Service was good; they were attentive but not intrusive. I would recommend Yamato for a family-friendly experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid dining option in Berea! The service was accommodating, and I appreciate that they have vegetarian options clearly marked on the menu. The ramen was delicious and the portions pretty hefty compared to other places I’ve tried. It wasn’t perfect, but it has a nice homey vibe that kept me feeling relaxed. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the hibachi chicken and the lobster Rangoon! The portions were massive, and I could hardly finish my meal. The ambiance could be brighter, but the staff was incredibly accommodating. They remembered my order even though I came in two weeks later! I definitely will be returning to Yamato; this place has become one of my favorites in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Horrific experience! The food quality was below my standards. The miso soup barely had any flavor or ingredients, the sushi was just overdosed with rice and lacked freshness. The floor felt like it hasn't been cleaned in ages, made me really uncomfortable. There are definitely better options around. Disappointed! " (*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 The ambiance felt outdated, and the decor could use a refresh.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*)
