Yamato - Menu

It was a little pricey and the portion was small. But I gave 5 stars because of its creative and aesthetic dishes.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant, one of the best sushi places I've ever been to. I highly recommend it. The food was prepared quickly with top-quality ingredients, and the restaurant itself had a lovely design.

Honestly one of the best sushi spots I've been to, the vibe is off the charts, but let's be real it's all about the quality of ingredients and these chaps have it figured out, get into it you won't regret it even if your pocket does

Great Japanese spot in Edinburgh. Sophisticated and provides some amazing food with the sushi prepared fresh you can see why this is a popular spot. The fish is lovely and to a high grade with the salmon being by far some of the best I’ve had. Service was average but can’t fault with how busy the place was. Atmosphere is lovely and would recommend here for a posh dinner with friends and family.

The food is something else, not your usual basic japanese. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable if a bit nervous. We were next to the counter where they grill some of the food. The smell was not very nice. The restaurant is elegant and I liked the partitions and the lighting. Then a big loud group came in and that was the end of a romantic dinner... There is attention to detail, choice, it is worth a visit

A local friend brought me here to try this Japanese food To be honest, I never imagined that I would be able to eat such high-level Japanese food in Edinburgh. Every dish is special. Several sushi rolls are particularly outstanding, and the grilled Wagyu beef is also a sincere creation. No wonder my friends insist on booking a table The restaurant decoration is comfortable and the seating space feels good Staff are friendly and attentive One of my first favorite restaurants in Edinburgh

Went for dinner on a Wednesday night at 8pm and most tables were taken. The decor is minimalistic and the service was fantastic and always refilling water and checking to see how everything was. Since we never tried sake before, the waitress let me try different types of sake beforehand and her pairing suggestions were spot on. The chef here is a true professional and can really tell how much effort he puts on each dish. I loved the sushi here because even though it was a bit pricey, the sushi truly spoke for itself. The rice was incredibly seasoned and the fish is very fresh. There were several pieces of fish that I've never had before, such as bluefin Otoro and Botan ebi, so it was great t...

I went to Yamato for my partner's birthday lunch yesterday. From the moment we walked in until we left, the food and service were outstanding. We were escorted to our table by a waitress who was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring we had water and taking care of our orders. We tried a couple of specials from the menu, the wagyu tataki and lobster and wagyu roll, both of which were fresh and delicious. We also enjoyed the chunmushi, tuna tataki, assorted tempura, and grilled sushi, all of which were well-presented and tasty. The atmosphere at Yamato was elegant, chic, and clean, complementing the food perfectly. As lovers of Japanese cuisine who have visited many Japanese restaurants...

Upon trying dishes such as oysters, tuna tataki, a mini unadon, karaage, and agedashi tofu, I found them all to be disappointing. The fish and seafood lacked freshness, and there was no option for rice or miso soup to complete the meal (curiously, there is no rice on the menu). The waitress even suggested thinking of the food as Japanese tapas, which I found to be a stretch. Teishoku, or set meals, should be recommended to diners for a more satisfying and cohesive dining experience. The restaurant's fusion of classic and modern dishes, such as fried Brussels sprouts reminiscent of a Japanese Wetherspoons and high-end wagyu donburi next to oysters, is confusing and lacks direction. The highb...
