I just left this restaurant and I have to say, after coming for years tonight is the night I say never again. Waiter Yosep had an attitude and after him the rest of the waitresses! I had to get up to ask for a refill, for plastic spoons for my kids. No once did a waiter or Yosep approach our table to see if we needed anything or to pick up what we had used. I asked for 2 apple juices for my kids with no ice, the cups were not filled all the way when I asked he said “is because you said no ice” Yet I had to pay full price… Worst experience I’ve ever had at yamatos in Encino. I’m sticking to Yamatos in Stevenson Ranch since the atmosphere and the waiters are a lot more professional. YOSEP, do better… that attitude of yours is just going to lead other costumers to stop coming just like me.
Also, as I was getting ready to pay.. the older waitress stood right next to the girl in the front while charging me and said “oh no tip”.. My total was $130 for 2 adults, 2 kids .. no alcohol beverages.. I think that’s more than enough despite the fact we had a horrible experience.
Please know that when you leave a tip on the bill by paying with a card, the cooks don’t get it… it goes to the waitresses…

The service was terrible. I had to get up four times to find my waitress to ask for some thing. Sake and beer were great as usual.
We tipped the chef separately he was great! The food was fresh and enjoyable, recommend the halibut it’s amazing.
All in all it was a good meal. We had a good time other than looking for a waitress constantly it was a joke. We left her $25 on $200 which I thought was generous. The chef saved the day. His preparation was fun and the food was good..

This was my favorite restaurant in Santa Clarita but thier ususal excellence seems to be missing. The quality of certain foods have declined. I had my usual chicken entree and it was so dry I couldn’t eat. My friend had the filet mignon and said it was so chewy it took minutes to be able to swallow. Even thier excellent fried rice seemed mediocre. Just to check if it was a fluke we went back for lunch a few weeks later and the same problems
I asked to see the manager and instead if being even a little apologetic she started cutting our meat on the plate and said “see there’s nothing wrong with the meat” we stared at each in amazement. Didn’t offer to take some reduction on the check but just nonchalantly walked away. It’s safe to say it’s not my favorite restaurant anymore.

My husband and I went here for dinner last night and had a nice time. The chef was friendly and provided a good show/service. I got the New York steak and shrimp and everything was cooked just how I like it. Overall, nice experience and good for a date night too.

Such a wonderful experience to go here. Everything is cooked to order and you watch breathtakingly when the fire goes up in the air. Delicious food and healthy they also had Kendall Jackson chardonnay which I loved

It was an enjoyable lunch. The parking lot was a little congested but eventually found a spot. The soup and salad were good. I ordered chicken and shrimp and it was good. I wasn’t a fan of their white sauce, it was very different compared to what I usually get. The service was decent, we were out of drinks during our meal, we received our refills with the check.

Honestly the worst hibachi I’ve ever had, the service was horrible and the older front desk lady was extremely rude. Will never be back I can see why the reviews aren’t the best. And automatic 15% tip for 2 people, when the service was the worst

When u enter there is a weird smell that’s not from the food and i think its because of what they use to clean which is not pleasant. The three star is only for the food which was not great but not bad either, halibut was good. Sushi was good too.
Although our server took enough time to say because the drink we got had refill the other person couldn’t share WHILE i was drinking it. Which i dont understand, A LOT of restaurants offer refill drinks and i’ve never ever had this experience. It’s MY table and i can share and eat whatever i want since I’M paying. So there’s that. Better places for service and food out there.
