Yamato

Amazingly delicious food with above average service. Great lunch specials!

Great food! Clean atmosphere!

There food is such good quality and it's always delicious highly recommend 🙌

Very good hand rolled sushi and a great lunch combo. Selection is not as extensive as many sushi places, but what they have is great.

The food.. So good and great service

Nice little restaurant that has amazing Sushi and dinner. We would definitely come again if we're in town.

I miss Yamato. I no longer live in the area but this place got me hooked on sushi.

Great sushi. No 'at grill' seating. Great food. Beautiful decor.

Surprisingly good sushi for Portsmouth! They could use some help serving. Hopefully they'll hire someone soon

A great alternative to hibachi. The prices are good and the food is good.

Best sushi in Portsmouth Ohio

Always a great experience for us.

Always quick, friendly service. Casual enough for lunch and classy enough for a romantic dinner. They do not grill at the table but you can still watch at the hibachi grilling area if you so choose. There's isn't dinner and a show, but the food is still excellent. As well as the added bonus of not have to sit around a large table with strangers. Excellent quality sushi!

Delicious and great service. Wish they'd turn up the lights in the bathroom. I know it's a zen effect but maybe an option for more light if you need it.

Sashimi pieces are so big and they are generous with their hibachi. Highly recommend.

Wonderful food, friendly staff. Nice quiet place to eat. No grillside seating which makes the experience more laid back.

Like their home country, Yamato is small but productive, retail but exclusive, and quick but delicious.

Great place to eat but the servings seem to be getting smaller

Great food.. great atmosphere..great service..

This place used to be so much better, they are under staffed and it shows. Food comes out all at once and in the wrong order, you can tell the lady running the place is doing the job of four people. The food is AMAZING I just wish the service matched

Food was good but you visit the bathroom after

Excellent food and service.

Excellent everytime. Great variety of sushi

I eat here almost weekly because it's one of the healthiest places to eat in Portsmouth. Everything is always fresh and I have never ever gotten bad food here. The Tiger Roll and Hot Lover Roll are the best. Service is great and quick. Prices are also reasonable for the quality.

One of the best restaurants in Portsmouth! Easy to find, lots of parking, fast table service, and the food is always delicious.

It is the best place to eat ever such good food lots of varieties and its really clean inside

Absolutely fantastic meal! The best calamari I've ever eaten. It's prepared on site and served with sauteed onions. The filet mignon was not only delicious, it was juicy and all I could eat.The combination dinner was just as generous in size as it was in taste. A great experience, we'll be back.

I like this place. I lived in Japan for 3 years. Finding a Japanese restaurant in the US is always tough for me. This is a a decent representation of Japanese food. It remains as close to its roots as is possible in Portsmouth Oh. Go there and enjoy.

The food is spectacular and the owners and staff are fantastic!!! Very friendly love eating here❤

We very much enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and kindness of waitresses. Have been there on several occasions

The food and service is absolutely out of this world! One of my favorite places to visit in Portsmouth!

My favorite restaurant, best Japanese food around, they don't another out the natural flavor with lemon juice like other Japanese places do. This place is all natural flavor. My favorite is the fillet minion and shrimp hibachi dinner with a side of lobster Rangoon. You can't go wrong with it.

I ate way to much food and that's not a bad thing

Nice atmosphere. Good food. Can get busy sometimes.

Excellent fare good prices huge servings don't pass this restaurant by if you're hungry.

Delicious food. I requested a spicy kind of role that wasn't spicy tuna and they kindly modified one for me

Is this the only sushi place in town? We ordered three specialty rolls Spicy girl, crazy roll, and green dragon. I would recommend them all, but most highly the crazy roll. It was loaded with goodies! The atmosphere was nice and simple. We went on a normal Friday without a reservation and got seated immediately. We look forward to going back! It would be great if they had a “specials” list to ramp up the or specialty roll options.

Great sushi, food and service! The restaurant owners are great friendly people. Highly recommend it.

Very good Japanese food! We love eating here. It's definitely our favorite restaurant in this area.

Love the sushi here helps feed my addiction to it lol

Yamato is a good deal for the price. I have been there a handful of times and service is good and they food is pretty consistent. The Bento boxes are 13 bucks but you really do get a full sized meal that's satisfying. Definitely a good independent restaurant in the Portsmouth area.

Fast service, reasonable prices and great food!

Always great food for a good price with excellent service

Delicious. The Yamato roll was amazing. The cleanliness was poor. The floors were filthy and the windows needed a good cleaning inside and out. The booth seats are covered in duct tape. The waitress was awesome.

Best place to eat around here but the employee's can be slow. Their lunch menu is very affordable but their drink selection is sort of limited.

Yuk is all I can say .....but my husband loves it

I was here for lunch, and it was great!

Very good food and great prices
