A nice little spot in the area for sushi. Service was great and extremely friendly. There's a seating area outside in the back which is nice for a cool summer evening. They even have bamboo shoots along the wall to make it seem more isolated than it really is, which in actuality is an area between two buildings.
The sushi was fresh and properly prepared. All of them were cut to fairly good portions. Not too big and had all the signs of fresh seafood. Service was attentive and consistently friendly. Their miso soup had mushroom in it, not common but enjoyable. Any of the sushi with the mention of jalapeno in it really does have a spicy kick.
Excellent service. I came here for dinner with a friend for the first time. They have been here for 15 years. Prices are reasonable.
We ordered a pot of tea–divine.
I ordered the salmon avocado roll. A classic staple but a beautiful presentation.
A perfect place to go with friends, family, or a date. A young girl next to us had her birthday here with her parents. The staff did a wonderful job singing her Happy Birthday.
Will most definitely be back!
This place is amazing! I went here last night for a friend's surprise birthday dinner. Off the bat, this place is great for groups. They had a huge booth right in the front of the restaurant that could easily fit eight people. It also doesn't get too crazy busy, so you can easily be seated/make reservations.
Let's talk about the food. This place has a very extensive menu, from sushi to dim sum to warm entrees. You can also get a prix fixe sushi or warm entree dinner for about $30-$35, which includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I had the chicken udon (just $9!) and vege pot stickers (only $4!); it was very delicious! The portions are enough to fill you up without breaking the bank on the prices. All dim sum ranged about $4-$6 and all warm entrees were $9-$10. Sushi never ran above $16, depending on the type of roll. That's a steal!
The service was also exceptional. Our server was very patient with us and took the time to help us choose the right sake. He also checked on us regularly and even brought out an extra dessert with a candle to sing happy birthday to my friend. We later learned from the manager that our server's shift had ended, but he wanted to hang around to at least finish off the birthday festivities for us.
This place left a really great impression on me. I think it's sometimes hard to find restaurants in NYC that have good food, good prices, good vibes, and good people. This place gets a checkmark in all categories.
Ordered dinner from here for the first time and was super disappointed.
We got the duo tar tar, millennium roll, green river & a spicy tuna. Every item except the spicy tuna was jam packed with soggy tempura crunch flakes. None of the items on the menu were described as having crunch in them. I personally feel that the crunch ruins the flavor of the fish and is used as a filler so they don't have to use as much fish. The only thing i could taste in these rolls is the soggy "crunch". It was so overpowering I couldn't even really taste the fish. So can't comment on whether or not it was fresh.
Also, the avocado in the rolls was not ripe at all. Had no flavor and was hard. Think I'm gonna stick to Kiku on 7th between 10th & 11th from now on.
The place is also super over priced. Green river roll is simply spicy salmon avocado & it costs $11. I can get the same roll anywhere else for max of $6-7.
Went for lunch special there, I got the salmon terraki which comes with california rolls, soup, miso, while she got the sushi special. Good service, lots of great food, cheap, not really anything bad to say about the place! This is what I love about yelpers, without them would've picked a place at random in the area, and it prolly would've been nowhere near as good.
I found this restaurant to be quite tasty! Ate here around 5:30pm on a Saturday and walked into a completely vacant dining room. (Which was to be expected given the time) My party and I decided to eat outside on the patio, which is located at the very back of the restaurant. Like the inside, the outside is very nice…simplistic and calm. They have a little water fountain and the entire outside is lined with bamboo plants.
I ordered the Spicy Roll Special (spicy tuna, spicy salmon & spicy yellowtail), Alaskan roll and the Park Slope roll (yum! Excellent smoky flavor) along with Miso Soup and Seaweed Salad. The Miso soup was excellent! More of a rich flavor instead of the watery miso broth I'm used to. They even give you a small complimentary appetizer to start off your meal! Our table received a crab roll paired with black seaweed.
Very good meal, decent prices, excellent staff!
This Japanese restaurant in Park Slope follows the modern interior formula of minimalist décor. The garden in the back is quite nice for our dinner. The weather was perfect for outdoor eating.
Our server was friendly and accommodating. The table ordered some edamame to share and start. We had a fish, rolls and Chirashi for our entrees. The trout on a bed of rice pilaf was prepared well as was the rolls. The Chirashi with the fresh fish on a bed of rice was equally as good. The portions were equally as large as only in a Chinese restaurant would serve.
As flavor goes, Yamato does a good job. Friendly service in a pseudo Japanese modern interior where portions are certainly not Japanese and where you actually leave satisfied and full.
I really enjoyed this sushi option in Park Slope. Delivery takes about 20/30 minutes, every rolls was really fresh and delicious, as well as soups.
A great new option, with free delivery and system for pay with credit card at the phone. Tips also can be add on your cc at the time of the delivery!
