Yamatoan Honten Review Summary

Great experience! This restaurant has an amazing atmosphere, good service and a wide array of different options. The menu allows you to try many different things, including some local specialties, such as some of the tofu dishes and pickles. The staff has limited English skills, but is very attentive and welcoming!

We stopped there for diner based on a tourist guide recommendations - we were not expecting the food to be that good it was a real pleasure. Staff was accommodating

We ordered several dishes. It was nice to have an English menu. The Cesar’s salad was mediocre, the fried noodle was too salty, the fried chicken was too dry. The fried Tofu with soup was good as well as the pot rice with pork. Service was good.

Good times and great food await you here. This Izakaya restaurant is only a 5 minute walk from JR Nara Station.

Each booth is quite spacious and the restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere. Larger rooms are available for bigger groups. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

The food is simply delicious. They serve traditional Nara and Izakaya dishes. The presentation of each dish is really well done. They also serve a wide variety of sakes, beers and other alcoholic drinks.

This restaurant is worth a visit. I’m looking forward to eating here again - enjoy 😊

The food was decent overall. I really enjoyed the rice bowl specifically. However, the service is a bit slow. Maybe it is due to being full house, dishes are served one after another slowly. At one point I wasn’t sure if my food is coming or not and it turns out they forgot to put in one of our orders.
