Yamato - Boston

Horrible service!We arrived in a group of four on a Sunday 6pm to celebrate and were waiting 2 other friends. The front desk girl didn’t want to sit us if we didn’t have the whole group there. The restaurant was completely empty, but she was rude, gave us an attitude and not even tried to accommodate or bother to ask how long our friends would take to arrive.I’ve been to Yamato many times, loved the food, so sad to have this treatment from a place I used to cherish and would take all friends and visits there.There are other places with great food around, don’t bother to go there to be mistreated like that, if they treat an older customer that way, just image a new one.

The food is not great. It's not terrible, but not great. It's mostly a place for college kids, keep in mind. The part that I couldn't stomach, we ordered miso soups, the waitress had her thumb in them as she put it on the table. Then when my table wanted to order more sushi, they were too busy on their cell phones.It's all you can eat, though... So that's nice. Don't expect a high end place. The tables are sticky and the place has a smell.

The appetizers were good, the calamari was amazing. The sushi rolls were not so good, they were not very tasteful. The service was disappointing, they didn’t mention the left over policies and charged extra $20 for that. Also, the waiter was not happy with the tips, which in our believe was fair, and demanded to give the amount SUGGESTED in the receipt. We left the place extremely disappointed and decided not to ever come back.

I recently visited this restaurant with high hopes of enjoying a delightful meal. However, my experience was soured right from the start due to the extremely rude behavior of the hostess. I came around 10PM. Her dismissive attitude and lack of courtesy left me feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. It's unfortunate that such behavior can overshadow what might have been a great dining experience. I chose to leave immediately, as I believe that good service is a fundamental aspect of any establishment. I hope the management addresses this issue, as it greatly impacts the overall impression of the restaurant.

It’s hard to give all you can eat sushi anything but five stars because, you know, all you can eat. The sashimi was good and the fish was fresh but the rolls were a bit of a mess. Probably because the place is so popular and so packed, the chefs have a hard time keeping up. But $30 for all you can eat weekday sushi so it’s worth a visit.
