" My experience at Yamato was less than satisfactory. While the food was decent and some dishes were enjoyable, the service left much to be desired. Upon arrival, we were ignored for a while, and when we did get help, the server seemed overwhelmed. We found the sushi quality to be average, definitely not on par with some of my favorite places in town. I really hope they can improve on the service front because the food has potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Yamato since it's always been highly recommended by friends. The food was decent, the portions were fair, and the price was reasonable for an all-you-can-eat. However, I felt that some sushi rolls didn’t have enough fish in them, which was disappointing. The atmosphere was nice but could use a bit of renovation. I wouldn’t mind coming back if I was in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" While Yamato is known for their all-you-can-eat sushi, I found that some rolls lacked flavor and were poorly executed. I appreciated the variety in the menu, but the execution of certain dishes was lacking. I did enjoy some of the appetizers, and the pricing was quite reasonable. I would consider visiting again, but I'm hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a bad experience at Yamato. Not only was the sushi lacking in flavor, but the service was also atrocious. We waited a long time just to be greeted by the staff, and when we finally placed our order, they got it all wrong. It's disappointing because I've heard good things about the place, but they really need to improve their management and service if they want to keep customers coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing experience at Yamato! The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the variety of choices on their all-you-can-eat menu was fantastic. I was especially impressed by the quality of the sashimi. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance, while busy, felt vibrant and engaging. I highly recommend bringing a group to fully enjoy the range of dishes. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamato is a great spot for an all-inclusive sushi experience. I took my friends there for dinner, and we had a fun-filled evening sampling various rolls and appetizers. The highlight was the salmon sashimi, which was tender and melted in the mouth. The ambiance was lively, even though the place was bustling. The only downside was parking; it was a bit tricky to find a spot. All said, I'm looking forward to going back! " (*Curated Review*)

" To be completely honest, I was a bit disappointed with my visit to Yamato. The sushi lacked flavor compared to some others I’ve tried in the area, and while I appreciate the all-you-can-eat concept, I just didn’t find the quality to match. The staff were friendly enough, but the service was pretty slow, and it felt chaotic given the number of customers. Ultimately, I prefer to spend my money at places where the food is consistently good. " (*Curated Review*)
