Yamato

Could not be better. Wonderful and helpful staff. Amazingly tasty food. Reasonable price. Great ambiance. Do I need to continue? They were so kind to accommodate me and my family in their last table and made us feel welcome and at home. Food is fantastic. You need to try it but please don't do as I did and book your table in advance. You will not regret it.

We tried Yamato Edinburgh, First of all, it impresses you with its atmosphere and fast and polite service. Besides that, sushi rolls and starters were very delicious. We also tried their cocktails and sake which was my first trying sake and I really liked it.

Pretty authentic Japanese food. We ordered two teishoku (lunch sets) and Yamato roll. Yakisakana (Grilled fish) was a bit sweet, korokke is good. Sashimi is fresh, tamakoyaki(Japanese egg roll) and miso soup are also really good. Will definitely visit again!!

Lovely restaurant, courteous staff, delicious food. Some of the best we had outside of Japan. They were also very kind to our dog and engaging with her a lot. We would love to come back when we are in Edinburgh again.

We had an amazing time here, every aspect of the meal was incredible! The food, service and ambience were all exceptional. We all LOVED every dish we ordered, particularly the miso eggplant, salmon nigiri, otoro nigiri, chawanmushi, and more! We had some delicious sake to complement the meal as well. Some of the best sushi I've ever had, a must-go when in/around Edinburgh!!

A friend of mine recommended me this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food and service were outstanding. Hard to find Nasu Dengaku and vegetarian dishes properly made. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive. It's also dog friendly which makes it even better. Will definitely come back.

This is the most authentic Japanese food I’ve tried outside of Japan, and the quality is just outstanding and it's worth the price tag. Food quality is excellent, staff is very well trained and you get real value for your money, not those fake plastic trees and other instagramable nonsense as in so many other places. Will definitely come back

Yamato has the authentic Japanese food experience. I recommend the Sakura drink to follow the dishes, it's super refreshing. Also the staff was very caring, and the best part the restaurant is dog friendly!!!
