Customer Experience
According to reviews, the service at Yamato is consistently praised. One diner, Ray H., remarked on the excellent food and attentive service, saying not to let the decor deter you from dining here. Eboni C. also commended the freshness of the ingredients, particularly enjoying the Jumping Roll and California sushi roll.
On the other hand, while most reviews highlight the service and atmosphere, they also note that the flavor profiles of some dishes, like sushi, can be average compared to more competitive sushi settings. However, Scott C. insists that the yaki here is the best around, emphasizing the notion that sometimes, the simplicity and warmth of a meal can overshadow the finer details of culinary artistry.

“ Just ate there for lunch recently. The food was excellent. Service was very good. The atmosphere and decor are just OK. I would eat there again, so don't let turn you away. ”
“ The food is always enjoyable and fresh! The staff are friendly and attentive. The ambiance is nice, it is darker setting, than most places so you may have to see how you feel eating in lower lights. I always eat the Jumping Roll and the California sushi roll. ”
“ Our server was very good. The tempura and chicken was very good. Highly recommend. Will definitely be going back again. ”
“ Big time! This is located in a small strip mall, but I was amazed how big this restaurant is inside. It opens at 4PM and I walked in shortly after and was one of the first people there. Slowly people started walking in and by the time I left at 5 many people were seated. 5 is still early so I'm guessing they get busy as the night goes on. I'm telling you all this because I counted at least 10 people working there, not including the cooks in the back that I couldn't see. 10 people is a lot when it wasn't crowded, but I'd say the service was pretty good. One thing I liked was that they hired teenagers as serving staff. It seemed family owned but most of the servers were probably in high school or just out from it. I think that's a good way to get young people active and learn how to work. Perhaps because of the kids they had pretty good music on too. The atmosphere was good and inviting. So far I haven't mentioned the food. I would say the food is average. I ordered 4 different rolls of sushi and they were good, but not great. Where I live we have a lot of sushi options so we end up with really good sushi. I also ordered some chicken and vegetables to go. They were also decent. I'm giving 5 stars because I like this place and I think it's something people in this town should try. ”
“ The absolute best yaki around! Love this place. From the outside you would think, "No Way," but go thru the door and you'll be in for a treat. Great service and even greater food. ”
“ I had a relatively quick and delicious lunch yesterday. I was promptly seated and served by a very sweet young lady named Jega. I ordered a seaweed salad, a spicy tuna roll, a yellowtail roll, and a Yamato roll (no eel). Everything came out in a timely manner, tasted very fresh, and the rolls were very well constructed. It was my first time there, and I usually judge a place by how well they can prepare simple classic rolls. They did an excellent job, so I will be ordering from them again. My sister and nephew love their hibachi and miso soup, so we look forward to going together next time. Very happy to know I can find good sushi close by when my craving strikes! ”
