Honestly, the food tasted great. Good stuff. The problem lies in the fact that we were seated and in 2 hours time we had two (larger) orders filled. The sushi part took 35-45 minutes to come out. The earlier stuff sure, that came out quickly but when the nigiri, making, and sashimi takes that long, it really kills the vibe. Maybe because it was 7:30 on a Saturday, but we ended up cancelling a portion of the second order because we had run short on time and stayed longer than intended...read full review
Need to deep clean the place and maintain the place more cleaned.
The food is excellent, well made, absolutely delicious, and the staffs are very friendly. I ever close my eyes and pretend I’m not seeing the place dirty; because it’s the best place to eat oriental food in the entire Boston.

The food is okay but not good enough. If you expect to have the good Japanese food, this may not a good choice.

Yamato II is a Japanese restaurant located in downtown Boston. The entrance is down a set of stairs from the sidewalk, which may present accessibility challenges. Customers utilize an electronic tablet to place their orders for AYCE sushi, soups, and handrolls. The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat option that is popular among guests for its high-quality sushi and attentive service. Vegetarian choices, such as sweet potato rolls, are also available. The staff is professional and friendly, ensuring that glasses are always filled. Despite the basement location being somewhat inconvenient, the interior does not feel at all claustrophobic or gloomy.
The spacious interior provides a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for group outings or intimate dinners. The extensive menu caters to various preferences, including sushi and fried ice cream for dessert. The sushi part, which includes nigiri, making, and sashimi, is above-average quality. Customers love the all-you-can-eat sushi, often leaving feeling full. While the price for the all-you-can-eat experience is around $40, customers feel they receive great value for the food offered. Service is efficient, but wait times can be long for larger orders. The venue can get crowded and noisy at times, but there is a two-hour limit. While parking in Back Bay can be difficult and the place needs to be deep cleaned, the bright interior and friendly atmosphere make up for it. Overall, Yamato II stands out for its fantastic sushi and enjoyable dining experience.
