Went here with the family for dinner and we really loved the experience. There was no wait for a table and staff was very attentive. Our chef was great and did an excellent job of entertaining us throughout the meal. He was the GM and made sure we all were enjoying ourselves. Food was very well prepared and was spot-on with temperature, which I always appreciate. Would definitely visit again.

Apparently there’s some negative reviews for Yamato online. I don’t know why, as you visit this place for a specific experience — the cook preparing food in front of you with a certain flair, lots of food which is actually tasty and freshly prepared. Overall a experience I’ll remember.

I loved the experience of Yamato. Servers were attentive without being intrusive. The chef was entertaining, and kept the whole company involved in what he was doing. This is a great place for a celebration.

Food was pretty good, but not mind blowing. Compared to other hibachi performances, our chef’s performance was a little underwhelming. Overall, a positive experience.

The server was very accommodating and patient with us. We were a bit of a hassle with not truly knowing our party size and having several kids. She made sure everyone was taken care of the whole time. The food was delicious and just as ordered.

Not sure why the negative reviews-we love this place! Went last night for my dad’s 70th birthday and the food was incredible! Our chef, Chandler, was hands down one of the best I’ve had. The filet was perfection! He was so fun and entertaining for both the adults and the kids. Highly recommend.

Superb across the board. Wonderful experience and delicious food. Excellent value. Went here with 2 adults and 2 kids and booked reservations for 4:30 on a Sat because we like to eat early and for my 14yo birthday. Seated promptly and everyone from the hostess to the waitstaff and cook were all very nice. I’m not cheap, but expect value for my money and was not disappointed. Overall Excellent! Everything tastes great and it just keeps coming. We didn’t try the sushi, but had 4 hibachi with a mix of NY strip, Filet Mignon, Shrimp, and Teriyaki Chicken. Beef spring rolls as an appetizer were excellent. The mushroom and green onion soup that comes before the dinner was outstanding as was the fresh salad. The follow-on was even better.
Showtime… Then the Chef arrives and puts on the cooking show. The slicing, the dicing, the onion volcano and other flames, tossing of shrimp in peoples mouths, the funny jokes, etc… All good fun you never get in other restaurants where the Chef is in backroom and not cooking right in front of you. The appetizer shrimps were so tasty. Then the fried rice and vegetables were awesome and plentiful. My son could not stop eating the fried rice and veggies. Then came the mainstay chicken, steak, and shrimp depending on order and it was all fantastic. Way more food than we could eat and had to get take home containers. We also ordered the fried cheesecake which was excellent.
Since it was my son’s 14th birthday the staff even surprised him with a drum march and happy birthday song. Loved it!
We loved everything and all left with smiles on our faces. Staff of Yamato should note that your efforts bring significant joy to your patrons and it is something to be proud of. Customer service was outstanding. Food taste and good lord the volume was triple outstanding. What an excellent meal and dinner experience.
Did I mention that the steak, chicken, and shrimp tasted awesome? So awesome!!!!!!!!! Everything was awesome. Thanks to all the staff there for such a wonderful dinner and entertaining time along with your help celebrating a birthday!

My whole family loved it. Our waitress Anna was attentive and engaging; made the experience enjoyable. Our chef, ShadyGage, was awesome he was great with the kids! We had several with food allergies at the table and he took great care to try to accommodate all of them while making us aware that if severe allergies cross contamination might happen… Food was excellent, cooked to perfection and large portions, had to get take home bags…this is going on our list of stops next time we are here.

Great staff! Made our visit fun and enjoyable and the food was great! Don’t let a few bad reviews keep you from giving them a try.

Honestly, the bad reviews almost deterred my party of 6 from coming here, but i am SO glad we decided to come anyways! Mitch was our chef and he was PHENOMENAL! He kept us entertained the whole time and our food was delicious! I don’t know what his salary is but he needs a RAISE (and a big one at that!!). We had such a wonderful experience. Everyone on the staff was so delightful and I would absolutely come back again. If you are undecided about coming to Yamato, I would 100% recommend! Mitch definitely made our night one to remember.
