" The ambiance at Yamato is wonderful, and they truly know how to create a fun dining experience. The hibachi cooking style adds something special. I ordered the sushi, and while it was good, it was not the best I've ever had. Still, the staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience worthwhile. Definitely a decent place for family dinners! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamato has always been our go-to for Japanese food. The chefs are entertaining as they cook, and it's great to see the skills in action. However, on my last visit, my meal seemed a bit greasy compared to previous experiences. While I appreciate the large portions, I'm hoping they can focus on maintaining the quality of the flavors. Service was friendly, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sushi lovers, rejoice! Yamato has some of the freshest sushi I've had in ages. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making the experience stellar. I recommend trying their signature rolls - they’re excellent! The service was attentive, and our drink refills were always timely. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Skeptical about trying Yamato after hearing mixed reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. Our hibachi chef kept us entertained, and the sushi was fresh and flavorful. The portions were quite generous too. However, the staff seemed a little overwhelmed at times, making us wait longer for drinks than I'd like. All in all, I would recommend it for a fun evening out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unfortunate experience at Yamato recently. We were seated in a back corner where the temperature was uncomfortably hot. It took far too long for our drink orders to be taken, and when they arrived, they were incorrect. The sushi was not fresh and was poorly presented which really disappointed me. I hope they can improve their service; it's usually a lot better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been visiting Yamato for years, and it's always a top choice for entertaining family and friends. The hibachi chefs are always fun, and the food is typically fresh and satisfying. My one complaint has been about cleanliness in certain areas, particularly the restrooms. Aside from that, I look forward to my next meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely birthday dinner at Yamato! The hibachi chef was a blast, and the food was delightful. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and they were all delicious. The atmosphere felt festive, perfect for a celebration. Service was spot on. The only concern was the cleanliness of the restrooms, which were a little less than ideal. I would still recommend this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)
