" Yamato is my go-to place whenever I crave hibachi! Although it’s not the most genuine Japanese restaurant, they’ve got a few items that I can’t resist. The shrimp tempura is crispy and delightful, perfect for dipping in the sauce! The hibachi itself comes with great portions and is well-seasoned. Plus, happy hour specials make it a cost-effective option for a weekend treat. I do wish they had more sushi options to choose from. Still, it’s a fun place to grab a bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointingly acceptable, that’s how I’d describe Yamato. The service staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed with orders and could be faster. The sushi was nice but lacked that fresh taste. The place could use some background music that better resonates with the dining experience. I would visit again simply because it’s close to home, but I wish there were more authenticity in the dishes offered. " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved the concept of this place! I tried the sushi burritos and was quite entertained by how unique they were. It was stuffed with vegetables and a good amount of fish. The pricing was reasonable for what you get, making it better than expected for a casual dining experience. The music in the background was a tad loud, which detracted from the overall atmosphere. Overall, I left satisfied and would definitely come back if I’m in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Yamato after hearing so many rave reviews from friends. However, my visit was quite underwhelming. The sushi offered was perhaps one of the worst I've had. The rolls were small and not very fresh. I also tried the salmon sashimi, which was grainy and definitely not what I'd expect. The ambiance was nice but didn't make up for the food quality. I won't be recommending it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to treat myself to dinner at Yamato last week. I had the filet mignon hibachi, which at best was mediocre. I didn’t feel the seasoning matched up to what I’ve had at other Japanese steakhouses. The atmosphere is pleasant with nice decor, but the food quality is something they need to improve. I expect more authentic preparation and flavors. I also noticed it was mostly families dining, so it feels like more of a casual setting than a refined one. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamato is a clean and pleasant restaurant with good options for lunch. I tried the salmon sushi roll, and it was fresh and satisfying. The service was really friendly and prompt which I appreciated. The consistent quality of the food makes me want to return even if not all items have the authenticity I look for. So far, I’ve tried a few dishes and find them enjoyable. If you're looking for a meal on-the-go, this place fits that requirement perfectly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I decided to have dinner at Yamato Steak House with my family. While the place was busy, the food was served quickly. I ordered the sushi burrito, which I found to be an unusual option for a sushi restaurant. It was tasty but definitely not traditional. My spouse loved the chicken hibachi and said the portions were generous, so that was a plus. Despite the food being decent, I'm not sure if I'd call it authentic Japanese cuisine. The service, however, was efficient, and we didn't have to wait long for anything. " (*Curated Review*)
