"Yamato seems like a nice little neighborhood restaurant that will get the job done when you’re in the mood for sushi. Where I live, I’ll admit that I’m spoiled by some truly outstanding Japanese restaurants, so my standards are pretty high. That said, I’m aware that you usually get what you pay for, and no-frills places like Yamato are a great option if you’re watching your budget. It’s thoroughly average in almost every way. The facade is plain and unexciting, but tastefully simple. The dining room has all the charm of a 1960’s insurance agency, but with less decoration. The colorful menu lacks prices and descriptions, so I suppose you have to ask the servers or be in the know. The AYCE option seems like the popular choice, but the policy (described in other reviews here) is not entirely clear if you’re new here. We dined here on a moderately busy night, and service was good when they were around, but they seemed a little short-staffed. All of our appetizers and entrees were fine, nothing outstanding or awful, but I found the sushi rolls to be a bit big and clumsy. Most couldn’t be eaten in less than 2 bites, and would fall apart after the first bite! The ingredients were fresh and flavorful, though, and were visually appealing. Beer and wine were available, but once again, not described or priced on the menu. In a town with so many excellent seafood and sushi restaurants, Yamato would not be a destination for me again, unless I was in the neighborhood as I was recently."

"In an attempt to both satisfy my current sushi obsession and explore some of the lesser known DC restaurants, my best friend and I decided to give Murasaki on Wisconsin Avenue a shot on a hot summer day for a relaxing sushi lunch. Murasaki has a great sushi menu with some fabulous un-traditional roll options, including shiitake mushroom roll and pickled ginger roll. There is a nice shaded outdoor seating area with Japanese tea garden vibe, so I recommend sitting outside if you can. Inside seating is really nice as well, and noise level isn’t bad, so you can’t go wrong with either! The sushi was really great and we had a fantastic lunch. I opted for three sushi rolls – avocado, shiitake mushroom, and pickled ginger, and an order of scallop sashimi. I looooove pickled ginger with a fiery passion and as simplistic as this roll was, it was phenomenal! Fish was fresh and delicious, and all the veggies tasted incredibly fresh. Menu also includes lunch specials such bento boxes (only $9.95, and served with miso soup to start , salads, large sashimi menu, excellent tempura options, and other seemingly non-traditional dishes, such as lobster tempura (as well as yam and eel miso soup. My best friend went the bento box option, and said the California roll was some of the best she’s had in DC. She looked to be in foodie heaven while biting into her shrimp tempura, so I’d say that’s a positive review! Other non-sushi items that looked really good included the plethora of appetizers, which ranged from grilled octopus to fresh tofu salad with ginger and scallions to seared beef with enoki mushrooms (for you meat eaters out there! Noodles, rice, and various teriyaki options round out the large menu. Quick and friendly service, great lunch spot in the Tenleytown area. No complaints from me! Easily accessible by the Tenleytown Metro (red line , and I will definitely be back to get some more of the restaurant’s more intriguing sushi items, such as the Baked Scallop Roll. Restaurant has a separate dinner menu as well. Great sushi, reasonably priced, and I will definitely be back when I’m in this area of town! For now, I’ll be content satisfying my sushi cravings at Sizzling Express :"
