“ Been coming here almost 20 years. Favorite spot for casual or any celebration. Love their sushi and hibachi meals. I'm obsessed with their fried rice and white sauce. The chefs are all nice and everyone is friendly. ”
“ Great experience celebrating birthday. Tom is great chef, gave us personalized experience and served rolls in the sushi boat. They have special birthday celebration cake called out in the menu itself. ”
“ My twin and I celebrated our birthday with our families. We had so much fun! The service was great and the food was delicious! I will definitely return! ”
“ What a Great Place been going to Yamato's for years. You will walk into the restaurant with covid enhancements. The Koi pond was always a fun little treat to see for the children. The would always get fish pellets at the front desk and feed the turtles and Koi fish , although I don't think this is available at the moment. Restaurant is full of liveliness . Typical wait time is about 20 to 30 min for the grill or sushi booth but the bar has a much faster turnaround time .. Wife and I were seated immediately. When you go you also need to be patient. ( Don't forget that restaurants and most businesses are short staffed) so you might have to flag a few people down other than that the food is absolutely amazing and fresh. You will not be disappointed. Menu ranges from appetizers of 3.95 to 10.00 and Dinner combos from 10.00 to 35.00 drinks are about 2.95 -5.00 and Alcohol Beer starts at 5.00 for domestic and 7.50 for the large Sapporo. They also normally would have a rotating sushi bar but currently not running due to covid.. The restaurant offers all Grill menu's at the bar itself. We love to order teriyaki chicken, fried rice and white sauce on the side .. along with the sushi see in my pictures.. Albacore Sushi, Spicy Tuna Hand Roll, Fried Rice Cake appetizers, shrimp shumi and Lobster Roll Again be patient with them and the staff.. Great Place!!!! ”
“ Had a blast, service was good, and the food was great. My only complaints at all was that the miso was a little watered down, and teriyaki sauce was pretty bland. Other than that, I couldn't have been happier. Definitely will be back again for those special occasions. Oh, the bar has good 5 dollar apps, and the food comes out super quick, so place to stop while waiting for your table. ”
