Yamato

Finally got to eat at this restaurant where most folks in FB Tucson foodie group and Tucson Redditora say is the best sushi in town! And I was not disappointed! Sashimi tasted so fresh! Sushi was great! Oh and that salad dressing! My boyfriend ordered a katau curry and it was delicious as well. There was just one girl running the whole dining area plus pick up but she still managed to provide excellent service. Ordering nigiri can get pricey so I can't go as frequent as I wish to but I look forward to my next visit!

How do you know when it's an authentic Japanese spot, when you see Sukiyaki on the menu. Even being from NY/NJ, this dish is very hard to find. Opened for 36 years, you can feel the past when you walk in. Raul greeted us warmly. He mentions that they have imported uni (2pcs for $24) from Japan and my son's face lights up. Here is what we had on 2 visits in the same week: - assortment of sushi- imported Uni & Toro from Japan- Nabeyaki Udon (waiter's favorite)- Nabeyaki Soba (amazing broth)- Sukiyaki (comes with 2 types of noodles)- Tempura Soba- Katsudon (very flavorful)- Curry Rice with KatsuIncredible Japanese food and service. This will be our go-to spot whenever we visit Tucson.Reservations highly recommended or you might be turned away.

Pretty good Japanese dinner combination with Tuna sashimi, salad, miso soup n main dish sukiyaki with rice!! Tasty n delicious!!!Services were good and efficient!!! Chef was a typical Japanese guy with a traditional sushi bar n dinner room designed!!

Ok. This is BY FAR the best Sushi in Tucson. I'm a huge sashimi person, check my reviews, I'm surprised I don't look like a fish at this point. Anyhow, the sashimi here is legit. No foul after taste. No yucky smells. This place is very very small and reservations are limited but pick up the phone and make them. It's well worth it. The sushi chef is an older Japanese gentleman and he obviously knows his craft. Absolutely phenomenal food!! I try to come at least once a week when I am in town. The price is not even cost prohibitive. It's affordable and delicious. Highly recommend this amazing restaurant!!

What can I say that's not been said about Yamato?! What an experience and treasure in our little desert city. Nestled in the most unassuming place you could think of, it's like a sushi speakeasy, hidden in plain sight! Intentionally created dishes, served in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. It feels like you're at your chill godfather's house, while he's serving up amazing food.

This was a wonderful surprise spot to meet up with old friends. Two of us had the chef preference sushi platter and two had Grilled salmon or a teriyaki chicken and rice dish. Terrific service in a small ten table restaurant. It was a delight and I am looking forward to our return.

Everything was so good here! Ample parking and you can make a reservation by calling ahead. We were sat right away during our Tuesday date night. You can see what we ordered on the menu pick. I heard the salad was delicious and it has an amazing dressing! We even dipped our cucumbers into the dressing. They need to bottle it up! The dynamite scallops had a great kick and were so flavorful. I loved the futomaki!! I'm still craving it. All of it was fresh and served fast. Great service and a great spot to celebrate your anniversary.

Stopped in for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality.I ordered the sashimi lunch which came with 12 pieces, tuna, hamachi, salmon and snapper. All were very fresh and the snapper had a spicy dressing drizzled on it which made using the soy sauce and wasabi unnecessary. I also had the ikura and a spicy tuna handroll. Both were also quite good.Service is super attentive and the prices and very reasonable for the quality.

Unbelievably freshness. The best Sushi restaurant in Tucson by far. So good. Very casual, but the staff is great. This place is a winner!

Had the dinner for two. Service was attentive and friendly providing great recommendations throughout the meal. The restaurant atmosphere was lovely with low noise levels easy to have an intimate conversation with my wife.
