"After hearing great things about Yamato, we finally decided to give it a try and I must say, it definitely lived up to the hype! The moment we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great dining experience. The restaurant had a charming decor, with fresh fish on display and a wide range of Sake options to choose from. We tried a mix of dishes we knew we would enjoy and some authentic Japanese cuisine, all of which were fantastic. The crispy sushi roll, made with tuna, avocado, lumpfish caviar, and fried rice, was one of the best I've ever had. The spicy tuna and salmon maki rolls were equally delicious and fresh. The tempura squid was tender with a perfectly crispy batter. The nigiris we ordered - Scottish salmon, bluefin tuna, and scallop - were all incredibly fresh. We also tried the Chawanmushi, which was packed with flavor. For dessert, we had the white sesame ice cream, which was creamy and nutty. We also enjoyed some sake, opting for the Yamato Shizuku. The price was reasonable for the quality and quantity we received. The service was attentive and friendly, with our table constantly being cleared and refreshed with more delicious dishes from Yamato. In my opinion, Yamato is a top contender for the best Japanese restaurant in Edinburgh."

Best sushi we ever had! Completed with warm Sake, in a great Japanse restaurant setting! Definitly coming back our next time in Edinburgh.

Started off with a very nice G&T with a hint of cherry. We had 8 courses to share between two of us and everything they served was excellent. A bit pricy but as as expected as the quality was very good.

Absolutely authentic fresh sushi served from a sushi counter by experienced chefs. First time I have had chowanmushi outside of Tokyo and it was excellent. Tempura prawns, teriyaki beef, karage chicken, seaweed salad all perfect. Staff are delightful and setting is contemporary Japanese. I will definitely be back again and again. View menu

Lovely chawanmushi with truffle and prawns. Good sushi with fresh Scottish fish (salmon was very good). Super rolls, including rolls with tempura prawns through them which were yummy. Reasonably priced for food of this quality. Service was good and the place has a nice ambience (it was nearly but not quite full). Will go again next time in Edinburgh.

Oh my goodness, this is hands down some of the best sushi we have ever had, and we consider ourselves sushi connoisseurs! Everything was impeccably fresh and made with care. Every bite was a delight. From the sashimi to the nigiri to the rolls, everything was top-notch. The wagyu beef nigiri was particularly outstanding – definitely worth splurging on. 100% recommend giving this place a try.

The food is outstanding and the servers are very attentive. We’ve never been to a Japanese restaurant and this was a great one to visit for the first time. Everyone enjoyed their choice of meal and if any of us had to wait for something, they were quick to bring a small complimentary item to make up for the delay. My daughter was even given a dessert for free because her choice didn’t come with one and ours did! View menu

We ate for £85 2 adults 1 teenager), no drinks included. We waited for 45 min to get to the main dish and left hungry. We went straight to the supermarket to buy food, because it was by far not enough and we normally do not eat much. Also one of the dishes tuna) didn’t look at all the way it was presented in the menu. The slices of tuna were extremely thin and nothing like the thick pieces that were shown. We do not recommend this place.

It is difficult to find fault with this restaurant. The decor is cool and breezy, the service is attentive and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. However, the highlight of this place is the food. The sushi here is some of the best I have ever had, even compared to what I have had in Asia. If you are a fan of Japanese cuisine, you should definitely try this restaurant. While it may not be the cheapest option, the quality of the food justifies the price. Overall, this is a dining experience of the highest caliber that is also reasonably priced. Come and enjoy some of the best Japanese food you will find in this country.
