Editor’s Note
Last updated 30 May 2026
We think Yamato Izakaya offers a solid, if not always outstanding, Japanese dining experience in Geylang.
Reviewers consistently praise the Unagi Mazesoba for its flavourful and creamy noodles, though some note the unagi portion can be thin.
The Gyu Don and Spicy Mince Tonkotsu Ramen also receive high marks for rich flavours and fresh ingredients.
The Buta Gyoza is a standout, described as freshly made with good texture and juicy filling.
However, the yakitori selection draws mixed reviews.
While some find the chicken yakitori tender and flavourful, others are underwhelmed, suggesting it lacks the char of true charcoal grilling.
Prices are generally considered high, but the availability of Asahi Black is a plus for some.
Parking is noted as easy, and the space is good for group gatherings.
We'd recommend Yamato Izakaya for a reliable Japanese meal, particularly for their ramen and donburi, but manage expectations for the yakitori.
It's a good spot for groups, especially on a Saturday night when it's not overly crowded.

What customers say
Yamato Izakaya generally receives positive feedback for its authentic Japanese izakaya experience, offering a wide variety of dishes.
Patrons frequently praise the rich and flavorful ramen, juicy homemade gyoza, and well-seasoned meats.
However, some find the grilled skewers lacking a true charcoal aroma, and certain items like the ice cream mochi are noted for being overly frozen.
While prices are considered high by some, the overall quality and ambiance make it a recommended spot for various gatherings.
