Yamato

Best sushi Prague has to offer. Wanted to try a course dinner, but unfortunately minimum order was from two people, so opted for sushi. Very good quality. Good service and atmosphere too. Price is on higher end.

had to give it one star because it's the minimum the app lets me. The person who thinks it's Japanese food is because they've never really tried Japanese food. You won't see any Asians eating in the restaurant... The only thing that's Japanese about it is the sign. 1. The tempura wasn't. 2. Soup from a packet. 3. Eel with bad sauce and from a packet... no comments on the rice. If I ever go back, I've lost my mind. 

We recently dined at this Japanese restaurant that left us thoroughly impressed. From start to finish, each course was a culinary masterpiece. The sashimi was impeccably fresh, the tuna belly nigiri was rich and satisfying, and the highlight of our meal was an award-winning beer-soaked specialty. This renowned dish, celebrated at the world sushi competition in Japan, lived up to its reputation with every bite. Yet, what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service. The friendly staff made us feel welcome and valued throughout our visit. A special shoutout to Makiko, whose attentiveness and warmth enhanced our dining experience. This restaurant isn't just about extraordinary food; it’s a place where the service is as outstanding as the dishes. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable Japanese dining experience.

The food was delicious! I’m quite impressed that the Czech chefs can make this quality of Japanese food. Just I don’t feel their kindness when I ask where I can change diaper for my baby. I went to many fancy restaurants including Michelin restaurants, they all very nice and tried to help me with small baby. Some restaurants even offer me a small room for breastfeeding. But here they made me feel the baby was not welcomed!

One of the authentic sushi restaurants in Prague. They have fresh picked ginger, and the best fried shrimp too. The fish was perfectly blended with the rice. Big enough fish for the rice, not too much, not too firm. But as someone casually making sushi at home, and experiencing how much sushi is in Korea and Japan.. I don't stand for the price. 400kC for one piece of general toro nigiri.. It's too overpriced. But sushi is overvalued in Prague in general.

My first visit of what many call the best Japanese restaurant of Prague was filled with high expectations. The place is elegantly and minimalistically designed. The waiters are very attentive, at times maybe too much, when they refill your bottle every few minutes, so it can become a little awkward during a business meeting. The sashimi was quite nice, unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the lunch menu, which was just bad from start to finish. Soggy tempura, overcooked rice, chewy and tasteless meat, all topped with the dessert: tofu with strawberry jam, which sadly tastes exactly as you would expect. A complimentary japanese tea is included in the menu, unfortunately, when you see the waiter pouring it from a plastic bottle, it kind of cheapens the whole experience. If nothing else, the quality of the fish definitely ranks among the best in the capital. So if you visit, I would recommend you to try their sushi, which is what I will do the next time.

Yamato was recommended to me by sushi chef Jaroslav from KAIZEN SUSHI, which is my favourite sushi place but in Brno. The dinner was amazing! The biggest suprise for me was the Foie Gras nigiri which we had to repeat cause it was perfection.

I would give 0 star if I could. I know a lot of people say this but yes. This is a scam restaurant. I asked for omakase menu, which the restaurant does not have in the menu but said they can do it for me. So they kept bringing me individual dish and charging me ala carte for whatever that they decided to serve me. They could also serve me 24k gold and I’d have to pay it. This is not omakase, this is exploitation and a scam. Not to mention the speed!! They were so quick to bring in new plates. SCAM SCAM SCAM. The sushi chefs are white!! Not authentic at all and I hated all the sushis. All the nigiris were with some flavour enhancers that completely ruined the fish!! AVOID LIKE A PLAGUE!! AVOID AVOID AVOID! Go to Katsura instead. Trust me! Also a bottle of tap water for 190 Kc.

Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere, and friendly service. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates fine Japanese food.

Unexpectedly real Japanese experience in Prague! We had the menu at dinner and it was excellent, highly recommended and very reasonable price for value!

I've lived around the corner from this place for years and finally dropped in last week. It was the first time I had sushi made by white guys and I was a little nervous, but they blew us away. The fish was fresh and perfectly sliced and presented. These guys definitely know their stuff. Our waiter was pleasant, knowledgable, and, most importantly, seemed really proud of their product. He described their specials in detail and we tried all of them. They were fantastic. My girlfriend ordered nigiri of tuna marinated in dark beer (I think...). My first thought was, "oh, great, Czechs destroying a gorgeous piece of tuna by dousing it in beer." I was way off- the flavors worked together perfectly without killing the taste of the fish. They had excellent specials of "maki" with foie gras wrapped in Angus tenderloin, raw shrimp nigiri (tough to find in Prague, totally worth it), and something with fried avocado. They all came with their own sauce that nicely balanced the flavors. My favorite was the otoro, the fatty tuna belly. Most places that serve sake toro serve the part from the rear of the fish which is nice, but this was on a whole new level or fattiness and flavor to the point where it just melts on your tongue.

Very nice upscale place with good ambiance. Great and friendly service. Very interesting and extensive menu. The Sushi I had was quite good although on the expensive side. Would be perfect for a special occasion or romantic date.

Fantastic meal, fantastic service. Chefs and waitstaff incredibly friendly and accommodating. Came in at 10 without knowing the kitchen was about to close, but was still properly accommodated without feeling particularly rushed at all. Didn't expect to find such incredible sushi in Czech Republic. Tuna makki rolls might've been the freshest tuna I've had. Racked up a giant bill; this place is NOT cheap, But worth every crown. Will be coming back here again!

The last time we went, the food was good, but they charged us extra for less than impressive wasabi. My husband went out of town, so I thought I'd give Yamato a try again. They treated me very well. The food was spot on, the rice tea delicious and the service impeccable. Impressed.
