Yamato

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.

$26 all-you-can-eat sushi (and random Asian items like tempura, udon, and crab Rangoon) lunch on the weekday cannot be beat in the Boston area. Food isn't the greatest but the quantity and variety more than makes up for the quality. Beware over ordering as they will charge you extra for "wasted food".

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.

Good value for money. Food is good, large variety included in all you can eat menu, raw and hot options, some specials available. Make sure to understand the ordering system and portion sizes for each item: Service is really fast, so don’t order a ton of things in your first order (like we did), you can keep requesting as much more as you can eat at fixed price, also reduced price for kids. Street parking may be somewhat difficult depending on time of day.

You haven't seen someone's true colors until you've brought them to Yamato's AYCE. Behind the tantalizingly average sushi and vaguely corporate oriental decor lies an indispensible Brighton classic that promises an evening of pride, struggle, and triumph. Remember to order Round 2 when 2/3 done with Round 1 so you can give in to uninterrupted fishy indulgence like the capitalistic whale you are. I battled demons here, and you can too. Been a dozen times, would go again.
