Unfortunately I have to leave a review, even if I don’t want to because I actually love the food here.
All you can eat is amazing and the food is fresh and tasty.
My review is about the service, I don’t even want to leave any tip as I basically order everything with a tablet that is given to me, I even have to order the drinks myself, the servers are rude, they only check when you are ready to pay, and then start saying thank you thank you and never checking the table again, they are basically just running the food.
Today my server was in front of me checking her phone, and sitting across , while I was waiting for a drink and food, then she disappeared for 15 minutes and the place was empty! I had to catch the cook’s attention because I waited 20 minutes for a sprite.

Yamato in Brighton was hands down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. If you enjoy eating mostly rice with the tiniest bit of fish, this is your spot, because that’s all you’ll get. The sushi tasted awful, low-quality, and honestly made me feel sick afterward.

The service was just as bad. The server with short black hair, and glasses was extremely rude from the moment we sat down. She slammed dishes onto the table, barely spoke to us politely, and when we didn’t leave a tip, she actually demanded one. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful.

I would never come back here. One star is too generous for this place, Between the horrible food and the rude, entitled staff, this place is a total disaster. Save yourself the trouble and go anywhere else.

Yamato is an all you can eat sushi restaurant located near the Boston College area, serving sushi as well as other Japanese dishes such as tonkatsu, ramen, and more.

The service is basically all handled by your own party, as they use tablets to order and send orders in, with the staff bringing it out when they're prepared.

The sushi is good for the price, and good to eat as much as you want. The rice to fish ratio is alright, it could be better but its all you can eat, so you get what you expect. It's overall a good price for what you get.

Very bad service. The girl working there—who I believe is the manager—treats customers very poorly. I do not recommend this place at all

My partner and I have been going to this place for years now and it’s always been one of our favorites. We went the other day for All You Can Eat Sushi and learned they changed the system to use a tablet, which we wouldn’t mind except that we only get nigiri/sushi pieces and it would only let us get 10 each. This is a flaw in the ordering system as the ordering cap counts one nigiri/sashimi the same as a whole roll. It took us 2 hours to eat what normally would have taken less than an hour due to the menu queue timer & cap. Normally this just takes us two orders total but it took us 6, meanwhile many folks were waiting for a table. The new ordering system definitely needs some work as the overall service quality has lessened since the change.

I've always enjoyed the sushi here, especially given the prices. Usually I order pickup but occasionally eat in.

However, the staff (at the front desk specifically) have consistently been rude and/or extremely inattentive. On all recent occasions throughout the past year, the staff manning the front desk have been unpleasant for no reason.

Today I was accused of not paying for my order when the staff member was so absorbed on her phone that she didn't notice me leaving cash right in front of her :/ and it wasn't a busy time. Which is prompting me to leave this review.

The food however is not bad!

Sushi is fresh and has nice appetizer variety. Don’t order too much at once. The sushi is very filling.

Poor service, our table was ignored. I understand when places are busy but we were fully skipped. Food is great for the price. Recommend but we had to struggle to get food, made us uncomfortable.
