Our drinks arrived only after our food, and the place seemed disorganized with very few servers attending tables. It was disappointing since we were excited to try it but ended up waiting too long for attention. The food was about a 3.5, and while the ambiance was okay, service needs major improvement.

I just want to say how grateful I am for the hard working people over at Yamato. I've never heard a…read morebad meal there in my 2 years living in town. My wife and I love sushi, and love good Asian food, and this is the best stuff we've had on the south coast. We are beyond grateful to have them within a 5 minute drive. We would have to drive down to East Providence at best to grab take out, and that would be a bummer. If you're local, and you like Asian food, you should be eating at Yamato. Should you visit in person, grab a hot saki and enjoy the rotating Spotify playlist consisting of Pre-2016 Taylor swift songs and the occasional Michael Bublé bop. We don't know why, but we listen and we don't judge. Seriously though. DM me if you want to know the dish that stands out the most, I'm not ready to let the general public in on the secret.

Sometimes after a long workday, all you can think about is sushi. My friends and I are traveling…read moreand staying in an Air BNB and when we finished our work day we decided we were too lazy to go out or cook. Enter Umami Sushi & Poke Bowl. We found this spot on Uber eats but checked the Yelp reviews before ordering. Most celebrated the quality and freshness so we decided to order. There are so many different rolls available at great prices, but the love boat for two really caught our eye. One of our friends is vegetarian so they opted for a tofu skin maki and garden maki. They also offer a poke bowl with tofu, if you are looking to feed a vegetarian. I didn't realize this spot is located in Fall River, MA - but yet it still delivered to Providence which is wild to me. Lucky us! When it arrived, it was super fresh, beautifully arranged, and absolutely exactly what we were looking for. I would 100% recommend this place for takeout if you're in the delivery radius - the sushi is high quality and well priced. The Love Boat for two was 42 pieces - 10pcs sashimi, 8pcs sushi, California maki,spicy crunch tuna maki & Snow mountain maki or rainbow maki for $59 if you order for pick up and $72 for delivery. That is wild to me - essentially $1.40 a piece when the majority of the rolls if you include a rainbow maki have fresh, raw fish. So happy we discovered this spot for our cozy night in.

In a pinch this will do but it is barely a step up from supermarket sushi (gassed tuna for…read morestarters). I also will never understand why people would order anything fried for takeout. As soon as it goes into the container it's steamed and therefore ruined. But that's not the restaurant's problem.

We recently visited Sakuratani in Bristol for the first time and came away very impressed. This…read morefamily-run restaurant has only been open about a year, but it already feels like an established part of the local dining scene. A nice space. We began with spring rolls (VERY good - chicken and shrimp) and sake, and the sake program deserves special mention. We selected a very enjoyable $38 bottle and noticed several other bottles at lower price points, along with a wide selection of canned sake--many around $11. Some diners may balk at paying that much for a can, but they will happily pay more for a mediocre glass of wine at half the volume. The value here is actually quite good, especially for those looking to explore sake beyond the ordinary. Our entrées--the ramen and chicken katsu--were excellent. The ramen featured a rich, deeply satisfying broth, while the chicken katsu was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender within. If you want a "hotter " ramen - the have an add on for a buck. Service was warm and attentive, reflecting the pride that often comes with a family-owned business. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, allowing the quality of the food to take center stage. Bristol is fortunate to have Sakuratani. Strong Japanese dining options can be hard to find outside larger cities, and for a restaurant only a year old, they seem to be doing many things right. We look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu--and their sake offerings. Highly recommended.

I've tried Mindy's many times and appreciate their later than surrounding restaurants hours (why…read moreeverything closes so early in a college town/area will never make sense to me!) Their food is always delicious - we've loved the Nime Chow appetizer, sushi, and noodle dishes. One thing that makes me take a star off is the very strong cleaning product smell - we've only ever gone later at night so assumed it was like this in the last hour or two before they close, but perhaps it's all day long. It's so strong it starts to give me a headache, and an employee started mopping right near where I was eating which made the smell even worse (isn't that a big no no in general??) They really need to dilute their products per what I'm sure are the instructions on the bottle telling them to do so, or use something else. I feel awful for the employees having to work with it or be around it for extended periods. It seems most people do takeout here, so maybe they remember the strong cleaning smell and just take it to go. Sometimes the line to pick up takeout goes through the whole restaurant and puts me on edge if I'm trying to eat in the dining room. Service is typically pretty friendly and quick, but at least once I've been here when the dining room was slammed and only one server was working. She was crushing it, but it was still a ton of juggling and making people wait that wasn't great for the experience. I tried the Vegetarian Ramen today, having never tried their ramen before. No chopsticks were provided, so I used a fork and knife, which felt a little wrong. It was pretty good but a little lacking in flavor and seasoning to be honest. There was only one piece of tofu - it was a decent size, but similarly priced ramen with tofu at other restaurants always has more like 3 pieces, so that felt a little lacking. I was a little underwhelmed today but do typically enjoy their food.

Tucked away in the Corrigan Financial complex just off Aquidneck you will find this awesome sushi/ramen factory! The service is definitely on point and very attentive to your needs. Quickly sat on a Saturday afternoon and took a look over the specials menu and just had to try the Sushi Pizza. Interesting concept and very filling, hot starter for more than just yourself for sure. The sushi rice is fried to create the base and then the toppings with protein selection is applied. I tried it with spicy salmon and it was good, little light with protein, but flavorful. For my main I went with spicy miso ramen which comes with three tempura shrimp as well. It was a hefty meal for one and needless to say I brought home my future meal as I could not make it through everything. The broth had a light to medium spice level and hit the ramen spot. There is a good selection of beer, wine and cocktails as well, I opted for some green tea which was hot and warmed me up perfectly. The vibe is relaxing and casual to easily enjoy group conversations if you have company with you. There is bar seating along with general seating booths or tables throughout the restaurant. If you haven't tried this tucked away gem, worth hitting up and tackling the menu for another awesome sushi/ramen shop on the island!

First off, the food came out fast (a win when you're starving), and the service was genuinely excellent. Attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing small talk. The place is cute and has plenty of seating. They also do take out! I ordered the Hawaiian poke bowl and WOW. The portion was huge (like "why did I think I could finish this?" huge), the price was super affordable, and the spice + flavor combo hit every craving I didn't even know I had. Balanced, bold, and just the right amount of heat. We also tried two rolls, plus the calamari and edamame, and everything across the board was solid. Fresh, well-made, and clearly cared for. To drink, I had the popping boba passionfruit tea and it was full of flavor without being overly sweet. Refreshing and fun, not syrupy. Overall: great food, generous portions, fair prices, and excellent service. I'll definitely be back and probably ordering the poke bowl again because... why mess with perfection?
