We had the best experience today. The service from all staff was amazing. The manager was so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely spectacular. My favourite place to eat out. We definitely will be dinning there on a regular basis. Could not fault anything. Great job to everyone. Thank you. Keep up the great work. U guys rock.
Yamato has always been my favorite. I like the new owner : she’s very friendly. Food review 1 sushi rice can be less sweet 2 fish and tamago sushi were perfect 3 shrimp popcorn too sweet and too much sauces 4 tofu salad can have more salads? 5 udon was good 6 negitoro was good 7 tataki was good but maybe dressings on the beef might be better? 8 waitresses were bit lost and confused not sure why. I came in and they were busy among themselves so I had to wait in front of the counter awkwardly… Anyhow, definitely good sushi, better than Auckland
We drove all the way from Hamilton to try Tomato, as friend highly recommended this restaurant. And we love it! The sashimi was so fresh, and the prawn roll sushi was crunchy and fresh. Impressive!
For starters we had the chicken dumplings, very tasty 7 out of 10. I had the Katsu Don, the pork was excellent, 8 out of 10. My wife had the salmon avocado sushi roll, this was 10 out of 10 due to it being the best we ever tasted. The service also 10 out of 10, very friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back.
Amazing good food and very friendly service. The place is very popular so it seems that a reservation will be the best. We were 2min after opening there and get on of the last places.Food: 5/5
Some of the best Japanese Ive eaten, even including Japan. The fish is so fresh and the rice is the perfect temperature and seasoning. Tempura is crispy and not oily. There is a wonderful selection of sake and some shochu, a lot of which is hard to get outside of Japan. My only regret is that I got full and couldn't eat more.
Beautiful food, warm and friendly service, prompt turnaround of order and lovely atmosphere. Husband and I came in for lunch on a work day, the restaurant was busy but everything was moving quickly. We ordered a lunch special bento box where you get to choose four dishes to go in it - great range of options, good portion size that left us feeling very comfortable. Definitely recommend as a great lunch spot.
I would like to say tho the lack of stars the restaurant was quite small but cozy and had a friendly vibe, but my sushi on the other hand , the salmon tasted very bad as it smelt strongly of an off odor, rotten to be precise and even though I was reluctant I tried some of it as not to be biased of the smell, but even then it was terrible. Wish my experience could be better.
I used to live in Japan some years ago. This is definitely one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in NZ. Real taste of Japan with reasonable price. We spent $71 for our family of 4 and we couldn’t finish it all and not to mention the food was so delicious. I hope we can find the same quality of Japanese cuisine in Auckland as well. Will definitely go back for more whenever we are in Rotorua. Highly recommend!
Fast professional service, both dine in and takeaway. Nice ambiance, sit at tables or at a bar watching the food prep. Good range including sushi. Fresh, tasty ingredients.Food: 5/5
