Our company chose to have our Christmas Party @ Yamato. Everything was as wonderful as expected. I didn't 'love' our seating arrangement, but all was well. The food was great, as awell as the service. I'm glad we chose Yamato for this occasion.

Cook was great. Service not good my waiter had this I Don't care attitude and told me he didn't. Did not refill my drinks was not attentive. So sad you go to a place like that and get horrible service with the expensive cost.

Good service and the place was clean and tidy. Lunch specials come with soup and salad. The salmon set was delicious with decent slices of salmon. The atmosphere was dark and gloomy and was somewhat warm inside while eating my meal.

Excellent service. The waitress and bartender did checks out on food and cocktails. We sat away from the hibachi grill because we didn’t feel up to a show. They do a great job though.

The food here is amazing. The sushi is fresh and the restaurant does not have a fishy smell. We also got the bento boxes and the food was great. Their teriyaki sauce is very good. I definitely would recommend this place.
