Yamato Japanese Restaurant reviews
34Yamato NEVER disappoints. Their Sushi is always fresh and cut to perfection. Nothing more heart-breaking than cuts not being as fresh as they should be. Yamato does not have this issue. Easily a dinner choice, when cooking isn't an option - Or just because there sushi is delicious. Highly recommended.
Wow, what a great restaurant! There is a very extensive menu and the food was absolutely fantastic.
Lovely cosy restaurant tucked in Illovo. I had the ramen and I loved it! The interior decor is also so lovely and the owner was very attentive to my group's needs.
A decent place if you enjoy Japanese cuisine. The Ramen is different compared to other places I have had. There is no other vegetables in it. Other than that was a pleasant outing.
Food was ok. Definitely overpriced but decent. Environment could use special attention to cleaning properly. Waiters could use proper hospitality training to how they talk to customers and they could be given proper workwear.
Delicious food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back again. I had the Lunchbox (a) which consisted of a miso soup, gyoza, spring roll, fried chicken, stir-fried veg and rice. Everything was devine. My husband had the bento box and also everything he ate, was super yummy and packed with flavour. The food makes every cent so worth it.
Really love going to eat here the food is amazing, would highly recommended it to anyone looking for good Japanese food in Johannesburg!
Some great Japanese food, with super friendly South Africans serving it. Such a pleasure visiting this restaurant. The Gyoza is to die for!
Small restaurant average decor - Average service - we were served with tuna mayo appetizers. We love Asian food however this restaurant was not for us.
Do not ever eat here.
Not only the food is not authentic AT ALL, also not fresh. I could actually taste the time and memories the food had been through in their kitchen.
I am shocked they claim to be 'japanese' restaurant. It's a 'kind of asian-ish' restaurant. This food is not from anywhere on this planet.
The menu item we ordered via uber eats stated 22 pieces of sushi in total. When we received the order, it only had 14 pieces. We then phoned the restaurant to confirm, only to find an extremely rude manager who insisted that they cannot and have never made a mistake and we are wrong or that uber eats made a mistake on the menu. Then she hung up the phone in my ear. Will NEVER order from this restaurant again!
Went there to try my first bowl of Ramen, it was good, but not great. The sushi was banging though, very fresh.
Can’t really speak for the sushi, but probably the best ramen in town.
(I do wish they wouldn’t use as much plastic in their take away deliveries)
