Yamato — Restaurant in l'Alfàs del Pi

Unbelievable how this restaurant maintains such a high score on Google Reviews.

Context: party of 2, buffet + drinks menu, Wednesday evening dinner.

Quality of food is far below par. Maki and nigiri contain huge amounts of rice and little fish. Tempura maki are not fresh or at least not crunchy. Beef felt like I was eating slaughter waste. No taste due to lack of sauce and seasoning. Chicken yakitori was alright due to the sauce, but was not seasoned in general 1 good portion though.

Buffet sushi was the highlight and the lady who prepared it was very nice. Not sure how long the sushi was on the plates already though since I did not see anyone taking the sushi.

The chicken in chili was very basic, not crunchy and also tasted like slaughter waste.

After 1 round we were already certain we wouldn’t be staying much longer. The tofu nigiri was alright. So after round 2 in which we ordered very simple nigiri and maki we left in a hurry.

Stomach ache already flared up a little bit. Not the regular overeating symptoms. Day after I was confronted with lack of hunger and then diarrhea. Food poisoning. Please reconsider eating here, it is a waste of money and calories.

Price was 18,50 per...

Unfortunatelly We will be not coming back for a while after 4 years. Started going almost once a week bc the price was good and the food too. In less than 6-7 month we saw the price go from 14'50 to 17'50... Kept going less, but kept going. Then, a drop in the quality of the food. We thought, well, we will keep asking sushi for take away... As it is decent and for the amount we eat, it will work. Today had take away, usually i ask for the 30-31 (tempura one and chicken). They are cold, falling apart... Probably from the fridge not just made. As a possitive, the workers, even when they are full are always nice, and the place is super clean. Im not saying we are not coming back never, as we always enjoyed it...but probably taking holidays from it. Guys, remember that not everything is turism and English people that just wants cheap and...

Yamato er en restaurant som ligger noen minutters gange fra stranden i Albir. Det er en restaurant som tilbyr et "spis og drikk så mye du vil" konsept med noen begrensninger: Tidsfristen er på 2 timer. Maks "4 runder" Max 8 retter per person, per runde. Drikkene er også begrenset men man kan betale ekstra om det de tilbyr ikke faller i smak. Som det går frem av menyen, er menyen nummerert uten priser for det som er i "spis og drikk hvor mye du vil" tilbudet. Fremgangsmåten er enkel man har et eget skjema oppført med rettene de tilbyr, og kolonner inndelt i "runde1" "runde2" etc. Man fører så opp antall ordre per rett , innenfor grensen 8 retter per person, per runde(eksempelvis tallet "2" på våruller av 4 stk dersom man ønsker 8 våruller, som telles som 1 rett). Deretter gir man skjemaet til servitøren. Maten kommer så på bordet noen minutter etter. Skjemaet blir så returnert. Man kan bestille neste runde ( maks 4 runder) når all maten er spist opp. Det opplyses om at man må betale ekstra for maten dersom man bestiller flere retter enn hva man klarer å spise da de kaster maten og for å unngå matsvinn.

Dette konseptet fungerer godt og man får mye mat og drikke for en svært lav pris.

Dersom du liker enkel sushi er dette et godt alternativ. Denne sushi er velsmakende ok ut fra "spis hvor mye du vil" konseptet og er et godt lunsjalternativ eller et middagsalternativ dersom man ønsker et velsmakende måltid. Sushi utvalget er noe begrenset, men i en slik sammenheng forventer man ikke mer avansert sushi. Dersom man vil ha mer luksuriøs og delikatesse /fusion preget sushi, er nok ikke dette et sted å anbefale. Stedet er barnevennlig og tilbyr barnevennlige retter i tilbudet. Se menyen deres. Alt i alt et anbefalt sted å spise om man vil spare penger og samtidig...
