I've been to Yomato a handful of times over the years, but more recently it was the last two times that turned me off. A few months back I ordered carry-out. I presented one of those $2 off of $10 coupons and the owner seemed to have an attitude about it. Not sure why because I spent over $40. I looked in the bag when I got in the car and there was half of a small ramekin of soy sauce and no wasabi... for a bunch of sushi. I was mad, I ended up going to the grocery store to buy some. The sushi tasted okay. Experience #2... My boyfriend and I decided to dine-in at Yomato. The owner greeted us and sat us down in booth. It was kind of weird though, we were in the dark while the other part of the restaurant was more lit. We ordered a few rolls. The sushi was bland/tasteless and the wasabi was too. We globbed it onto our rolls and still no kick. The fish was kind of warm and not firm. The spicy tuna roll had seasoning poured on top of it, instead of mixed together. Nothing about it was spicy. The owner was too busy chatting with others to notice we needed plates and a drink refill. We won't be going back. I've given this place chances, Joss in Annapolis continues to shine.

Excellent sushi. Although the atmosphere is a bit dated, they make some of the best sushi I have had on the East Coast. The staff is very nice and friendly. They have the best green tea! I have eaten here for 9 years and the consistency and quality is outstanding.

I ordered sushi for the first time here due to a Groupon take-out deal. When I went to pick it up, the woman at the register was on the phone taking an order and the man next to her did not acknowledge me. So I patiently waited for the woman. When she got off the phone, she did not acknowledge me either. I initiated the conversation and told her I was picking up my sushi order. I was shocked at the price of my order. I had gone online before I went to pick up my food to estimate how much my order was. Even though my Groupon was accepted, it was $15 more than I had expected. I paid it anyway, but looking at the quantity of sushi and the amount I paid when I had gotten home, I'm certain it wasn't right. I felt ripped off. The quality of the sushi was just OK. The sushi tasted fresh, but the rice wasn't very good. The rice was a bit dry and flaky, not sushi rice. Since I only ordered sushi takeout, I can not review the dining experience or food other than sushi. Needless to say, there are far better places around the area to go for sushi and better customer service.

I ordered the galbi. Not sure what I ate but it wasn't galbi but that's what I get for not getting it at a korean restaurant. The sushi was so-so with too much rice. I tried taking some off when the owner (?) saw me she was like "You don't like rice?" in an accusatory tone. Of course I do or else I wouldn't eat sushi in the first place. The restaurant wasn't really clean and kinda smelled. The food was gross. And the lighting was really dim even though it was lunch time.

Some of the fish was fresh...most of it was not. The Salmon Roe was good. The rice wasn't up to par--tasted more like jasmine rice than it did sushi rice. Price of the food is definitely cheaper relative to other sushi places, but you pay for what you get... Chirashi was cheap, but there were only about 4 pieces of thinly sliced old-tasting sashimi, and the rest was rice, egg (tamago), overcooked shrimp, and avocado. In terms of presentation..I must say they really tried, but it's really just kinda tacky-looking. :-/ The service was definitely not that great--we basically seated ourselves, and had to ask for a menu... what??? The entire staff is actually Chinese and there were Chinese horoscope place mats...wait, I thought this was a Japanese restaurant?

This place is worse than cancer and Hitler combined. I've given them three visits. Three strikes and you're out. Each visit was worse than the last. Visit 1: The owner tells me to leave because I want water,and refused to pay for a beer/soda. Once I get up and start to leave, she then stops me and allows me to order without purchasing a beverage. Visit 2: The owner complains to me about my cheap order that totals over $50 in sushi. Apparently, she was not happy that I didn't buy any of the expensive specialty rolls and stuck with the basic sushi rolls. Visit 3: The owner cleans the fish tank and handles the fish filter (bag full of feces), while preparing and serving the sushi. He does not wash his hands during the entire process. I reported him to the health inspector. When they questioned him, he admitted that this is normal behavior and was required to shut down his restaurant and put his staff through a cleanliness lesson with the health inspector.

The owner/manager came in from a delivery and started making sushi WITHOUT washing his hands. Since we had our sushi already we finished our meal (it was just average) but we will not go back. Between the questionable sanitary procedures and the poor service they get a single star. If there was an option for a half star I would have given them a .5. This was a couple of weeks ago but I'm just now geeting caught up on these posts.

I have no clue what kind of sushi the people writing reviews for this restaurant have had before, but this is the only sushi restaurant in the area that I enjoy. It is rarely full, don't let that turn you off, a lot of people get take out but sitting in the restaurant is the way to go. I promise. My family comes here at least once a week and we have never had any trouble with the freshness of our food. I also have no clue why people are complaining about the service. We see the same woman every time we are here, she is so incredibly nice! She always suggests new rolls for us to try and she's never been wrong. Don't believe the reviews on here until you try it yourself. There is another sushi place in downtown Annapolis that is good, but the prices are high, and you have to pay to park. This place isn't a chain, it's real sushi. If you don't like it, then you probably don't know real sushi. (by the way, if businesses refuse to pay Yelp for advertising, Yelp puts bad reviews on their site immediately. Be careful who you trust on Yelp. Go try it!)

Judge for yourself before eating anything. Check out the bathroom, the open storage areas and the dining area. Disgusting by any standards. This place should have been closed down by the Health Department long ago. BTW the owners are also rude beyond belief.
(1)Jenn M.
After living in Baltimore City - we have been spoiled by having a ton of great sushi restaurants to choose from. While Yomato might not be the best - it is certainly not the worst. I received great customer service (granted it was for a carryout order) - and the sushi was pretty good.
(3)Steve F.
Food mediocre at best...service average. Represents itself as a Japanese restaurant, but has Chinese place mats...should have been a clue. We will not be returning...

Really disappointing. I've had sushi all over the world, and this? I've had the grocery-store refrigerated case sushi that was better. I ordered two rolls, and two piece-sushi, to go. It was $35! But ok, I figured, maybe it would be awesome. The rolls were simply awful. One had a fish mix in it that, I kid you not, is the same sort of chopped crab-with-orangy-sauce that you get in the grocery store premade rolls. Only those are fresher. The second was supposed to be a roll with fish, and with two types of roe (fish egg) around the outside. You have seen them, they look orange, they have little eggs all over. Not this one. This one, there were giant fish eggs sort of sprinkled over the top, maybe ten of them, and on top this fish that was so rubbery I ended up taking it off and trying to eat the roll without it. There was more of the rubbery fish inside, so basically I had rice and avocado and I think it cost me $10 for that roll. And also, I work less than two minutes away. I'm at my desk, eating, and I realize - the fish is warm. Not hot, not cold, just warm. That's not good. The place is cluttered, there are little piles junk everywhere (like: wadded up cloth towels visible on the counter, a tupperware thing of what look like M&Ms on the bar, multiple jars of pencil stubs and mismatched pens, really old and faded and droopy plastic flowers), there was a box of cleaning products or something sitting under a booth right by the counter, and I didn't go adventuring but it just seemed seedy. I'm kicking myself for spending $40 including tip here. Never, ever again. I'm actually angry at myself, I should have known better. If there is any restaurant in the world that should look clean? It's a place where they serve you raw fish.

This place is very close to where I live so I kept using it just because it was handy. I knew the sushi wasn't great, but it wasn't the worst I've had. I vow to stop going there now. Let's say I have been there ten times. I have been overcharged FOUR times. I have had my credit card charged twice on one occasion. I once told the waitress that some tough, chewy shrimp was inedible and she just shrugged. I thought at first that the woman who serves in there was friendly, but she is weirdly pushy and gets very rude when you question the bill. One time the couple who run the place had a huge argument while I was in there. One time we picked up an order and they were very impatient when we asked if they were sure it was correct. We got home and found it was completely the wrong order...and then they got angry with us.
(1)Daniel M.
People who don't like this place are crazy. The sushi was delicious, fairly priced, the staff was incredibly friendly and nice. Sorry to all the snobs in the area who would rather eat at a big Sushi chain like 'Ra'... you clearly don't know what you're looking for. This place is good.

I am honestly surprised about so many negative reviews. I am a regular there and never have an issue. I can understand the bad service, but they really aren't that bad. They deliver which is usually my method, but we went in there to actually sit down and eat dinner, and it was awesome. My husband doesn't eat sushi and he always loves whatever he orders. Thier fried rice is amazing!!
(5)Scott C.
I've given this place so many chances. Tonight was the last straw. Totally un-fresh seafood, rude service, and cold appetizers and food poisoning (all night) equal zero more chances. Avoid this place like you would the plague.

Spider Roll and Volcano Roll are consistently delicious. I have been here at least 20 times in the last four years and the food is good. My kids love the sushi too. I work far away and like to come here with my kids for sushi and stress relief from the long commute. They take good care of us, and the kids love the sodas with the marble inside.

Never, ever again. I sat here and ordered sushi before class. I figured, hey - it'd be a quick meal (I allotted a full hour, so not that quick) and then I''d go to class and learn about... Stuff. I didn't get out for 3.5 hours - and not because the conversation was scintillating either. Let's put it this way. They handle EVERY call they get BEFORE they handle you. I ordered about five rolls. No modest amount, but no plethora either. So they made one... Then got a bunch of calls. So they got the calls, made the sushi for the people who ordered over the phone, delivered the sushi, then came back and then got more calls and the cycle repeated. And repeated. And repeated. Eventually, two hours later, they finished my final roll. I guess I was lucky and they got a lull. So, was this sushi worth waiting for? Well, the rice was dry by the time I got it. But this was true, even of the LAST roll that was made seconds before I finally got my food, so it wasn't because of the time they were left sitting. The fish itself was... Unsatisfactory. Small amounts of meat and limited to no flavour compared to other locations. However, their miso was fantastic. I will give them that. It also came out within the first ten minutes. This isn't to mention the atmosphere. I speak Chinese, and the people were making slurs and nasty comments about customers regularly. Seriously not cool. The place also kinda looks tacky on the inside and out. Also, though this may not be important to most people, the entire staff is Chinese rather than Japanese. For me it's more of a "Oh! They're all Japanese. That's cool. More authentic" sort of thing, but for some this may be important. The price was fairly expensive, compared to sushi you COULD be getting at almost any other sushi place in Maryland. I'm something of a sushi snob and very few sushi places get my "seal of approval." The only places, really, being Kawata in Fairfax and Fuji's in Edgewater. So if you're going to go anywhere for sushi... Just go to Fuji's. An extra ten minutes, if that. The staff is mostly Chinese there (not that it really matters), but the head chef lived in Japan and trained under a Japanese sushi master for YEARS. It's seriously some of the best sushi you'll ever have. Cheaper, too. If the head chef there is off, the sushi is still good. Not as good, but still leagues better than Yomato's paltry attempt at an art form. Just STAY AWAY from Yomato. I've been there twice now and this happened to me BOTH times. They're clearly prompter if delivering, but their sushi is still bollocks and more expensive than the nearby Fuji's.

Food was cold. There was a hair in my chicken dish. No favor in the chicken Or th e tufu. I am never going there again. Took a long time for my carry out order.

Awful, disgusting, rude, smelly, dead, quite, boring, tasteless, poor quality, and just again ... awful. 1-star avoid, read below for my reasons. I only came here because I saw that on Ritchie Hwy, in Arnold, there is a sushi joint tucked away in a small shopping center, where it likely would attract a good amount of business, and there for couldn't be [that] bad. Wow, I was wrong. I came in around lunch time, dead, me and their entire staff, sort of awkwardly where there, waiting on me, and felt ...eerie. My waitress, was rude. Nothing else can be said. She was terrible -- really! Slammed the drink down in front of me, made me just feel awkward the entire time. Gave me multiple chop sticks, and was too lazy to even check in on me ...Thanks! Anyway the menu was impossible to read, not that it wasn't too clear or conscience, it was the lack of roll descriptions and pricing (on their special rolls), that made me question even ordering there at all. I went with their rainbow roll, which is common and rather basic, and for the $8.5 price, I expected a rather decent sized roll. Wrong again. Small, tasteless, and just a strange unfresh feeling of it's ingredients. This roll was topped with two different styles of fish, though it was suppose to have 3, and had a awful texture. The wasabi, was awful. The soy sauce, terrible. It's soy sauce, how do you manage to mess that up? It was thick! Yeah, I said it -- thick soy sauce. It left residue, which I don't recall ever having anywhere else. It would be totally different if this was cold, it wasn't, totally room temperature and some how the only low sodium bottle in the entire restaurant? And I had to ask for it, since it was readily available. The cleanliness of this place is deplorable. Everything is old, reused a lot, and mostly everything didn't look clean. My bowl for my miso soup looked as if it lost in a knife battle and was scratched throughout it's insides. My sushi plate, was totally reused, there is nothing I doubt about that. There was residue from something that couldn't have been my roll, it covered the entire plate! Then taking a quite trip to the men's room is like going into an outhouse. The bathroom's have not been cleaned in ages, they smell of urine, and the bowl is the most disgusting thing I have seen on the East Coast! My last issue came from the final bill, there is no published information referring to a additional cost when using your credit / debit cards. I understand small business incur charges when they swipe their cards, but to not notify me you're covering for your lost's and inexplicably assuming I wouldn't notice?! Terrible, it truly is. Especially when my first amount you gave me stated 13.75 and then I got charged $15? What the hell happened there? Stay away this place is god awful! Want a better option?! Take a trip slightly northeast to Pasadena's Szechuan Cafe, or Olive and Sesame. Or go south to Annapolis's Joss.

Despite some earlier reviews- my family has always enjoyed the experience here. I recommend the DragonRoll, SpiderRoll, VeganRoll, and WasabiRoll. Never crowded, reasonably priced , but very enjoyable. Check them out.

I'm a sushi fan and this place is just ok. A few good things and a few bad things. Quality is not consistent in the few times we've been there. Not a lot of variety and nothing out of the ordinary. Never particularly welcoming and atmosphere is nothing to go outta your way for. More of a grab quick sushi to go sorta spot.
(2)Stephen C.
We moved to the area 12 months ago and saw this place everytime we drove down Ritchey Highway - not too sure what to expect. As we all know Sushi can either be really great or incredibely bad, there's usually no in-between. So, we gave it a shot. We actually had an above average experience in terms of the fish, quantities and price (expectations for cost of a sushi dinner are not low). On the low-side we did have a very long wait for the food and the service was slow - somewhat of an attitude. We'd go back if we had a couple hours to kill and needed a quick sushi fix.
