For quick downtown lunch sushi, Yamato is a good choice if you're on the west side of downtown. This is clearly the target client as there is no parking (its on the C-Train line) and the dining area is a half hearted attempt to have you stay. The sushi is above average for lunch time take out, but far below average compared to real sushi restaurants across the city. The kitchen is pretty quick which is a must for the downtown lunch crowd, but service is really hit and miss. Sometimes you get a cheerful person that makes you feel like going here was a good choice and they're happy you came. Sometimes you get the crabby lady from the take out window in "Dumb and Dumber" and you feel like she's annoyed you walked in. For the price they're asking they should do MUCH BETTER. Move her to the back office role (I suspect she's the manager or owner) and this place would immediately be a 4/5 at least.
Happy eating!
