Just went here for my sisters graduation dinner and the service was immediate and very friendly. The chef who cooked our food was cooler than a fan and very engaging. The atmosphere needs work but it was good enough 4.2/5

Best sushi ever!! Been coming here for years now! I won’t go anywhere else for sushi! So many to choose from, the sizes of the rolls are huge, fresh and delicious! The other food on their menu is delicious too! Love the fried oysters also! Always great service and the place is clean and nice to eat in! Prices are great also! Never had any issues here. I always tell people to come here! So glad I only live few minutes away, I love it! :)

Delicious food, reasonable prices for the amount and quality you get. It's not the "cook in front of you" kind if place, if that's what you're looking for...But the food quality may as well be like if it were! Best chicken teriyaki I've ever had. The Jade Roll was a surprise as well. I've passed this place for so many years, skeptical on how I would feel...I wish I tried this hidden gem sooner!

Great time at Yamato this evening. 3 meals, Hibachi style was 80.00. Had a really good experience. Tell your waitress you are not in a rush and this should allow you to enjoy your food with no hesitation. We had so much to eat we could not finish our food. We had two meats, rice, and vegetable and a salad and a beverage.
