One of the best Japanese restaurants in New Zealand. This place is always busy, booking is essential. Very fresh sashimi, love their salmon miso pot (forgot the name of the plate). A must visit if you are in rotorua. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Deluxe Sashimi

Food was good, very fresh serving of sushi but service was kind of slow, maybe it was a crowded midweek. Seems very popular with the locals too for a good Japanese dinner. Prices are quite pocket friendly too Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $40–50 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Deluxe Chirashi

Wow, this place is 5 stars plus. The fish was falling apart in my mouth. So tender and flavorsome. The vegetables were prepared so well too, with amazing sauces to go with. The service was fast and friendly. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Fabulous food! The staff are amazing and the service is quick. There is tables to sit at around one side of the restaurant or you can sit in area where they make the food in front of you. Delicious food, it is on the expensive side but definitely worth it! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

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 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

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! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch

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!

One of the best Japanese Restaurants I've ever tried😋 The sushi rolls are the best and they are all freshly made in front of you. The price is reasonable as the ingredients are very fresh and the portion is great:) We felt so satisfied after the meal and we even preordered a take-away for next day's lunch😆
