" Absolutely loved my experience at Yamato! The food was delicious, especially the hibachi steak, which was cooked to perfection right in front of us. Our waiter was super attentive, and the lively atmosphere made for a fun dining experience. The only downside was the slight wait we had to get our table, but it was worth it. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have always enjoyed dining at Yamato, but my last experience wasn't great. The place felt a bit messy, with tables lacking thorough cleaning. The service was slow, and it took forever to get our food. The hibachi was entertaining as always, but the food didn’t taste fresh. I hope my next visit is better because I have fond memories from this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has really declined in quality. Last time I was there, the wait for drinks was nearly unbearable, and the food tasted off. While the hibachi chef was entertaining, my steak was well-done when I ordered it rare. I’m hesitant to return because this has been a consistent issue. I really hope they can fix these problems! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Yamato! The atmosphere is filled with excitement, and every visit feels special. The hibachi is always a highlight, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The portions are generous, ensuring that you leave satisfied. My only request would be for the staff to maintain the cleanliness of the dining area a bit better, as it tends to get a bit sticky at times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Yamato several times now, and while the food is good, I'm worried about the cleanliness of the place. The areas around the grill could use more attention, as well as the tables. On a positive note, the service is generally upbeat and accommodating. If they can improve hygiene standards, my rating would be higher. " (*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*)
