" If you're looking for traditional Japanese cuisine, you might want to keep looking. While Yamato has some delicious items, most of their offering leans more toward an Americanized take on Japanese food. I did enjoy the lobster rangoons but was disappointed with the sushi as the portions did not reflect the price. The ambiance is enjoyable, but I expected more depth to the flavors of their offerings. Probably won’t be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Yamato for several years, and my family always enjoys the food. The chicken and vegetable hibachi is my top pick. They do a solid job with their teriyaki sauce, too! While I find the authenticity slightly lacking, the prices are reasonable, and you surely get what you pay for in portion size. I appreciate the consistency in quality, and they often have great service! " (*Curated Review*)

" All the reviews I read had me excited for this place but, unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations. I ordered the shrimp hibachi and it was just okay. The staff were friendly but the service was slower than I’d like. The ambiance was nice, but I mainly came for the food, which didn’t impress me. I most likely won’t return as there are plenty of other options around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience here! The flavors were there, and I loved the ambiance. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered the ahi tuna sushi, and it was deliciously prepared! While I generally look for authenticity in Japanese dishes, I can't deny that the overall dining experience was satisfactory. I left feeling full and happy. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Yamato wasn't the best. I didn’t enjoy the ramen I ordered; it felt more like a watered-down version of what I remember from Japan. The service was ok but rather slow. I did appreciate the friendliness of the server. It's a nice establishment to try, although the sounds from the kitchen were quite distracting. Overall, I think it's a decent option for casual dining, but I’m not convinced about the quality of the food. " (*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*)
