We visited today and ordered three teppanyaki dishes—one with seafood and two with steak, shrimp, and chicken. The soup and salad were fresh and delicious. The shrimp, scallops, steak, noodles, and vegetables were all tender and cooked perfectly. The chicken was slightly dry, which is somewhat expected with hibachi-style cooking.
The service was professional, polite, and knowledgeable—thank you, Travis! Overall, the experience was excellent, and I would definitely come back again.

We made a reservation for my nephews 16th BD dinner with family. Everyone got there on time so no waiting really. The table we sat at was split into two with the cooks back to back so we got up and mingled after the show and we all ate. I like this place because it's not crowded and there is plenty of room to move around and not a ton of traffic going by. They separate the tables in a way where it's more private. Food was excellent as always at hibachi restaurants. You can share your plate for $10 upcharge, comes with extra soup & salad. Show had more fire than we are used to, loved it. Will go again.

Who can resist a lively hibachi dinner, especially when it’s planned as a special outing? This visit to Yamato’s was extra meaningful because we were there with close friends and our boss, who personally selected the restaurant expecting a fantastic experience for all of us. As a group of five, we were happy to be seated fairly quickly, which immediately gave us a positive first impression and set the mood for a pleasant evening.
Our server, truly elevated the experience. He was friendly, professional, and consistently attentive throughout the night. Whether it was refilling drinks, checking on our preferences, or making sure everything was running smoothly, he handled it all effortlessly. His hospitality did not go unnoticed, and we sincerely appreciated the way he took care of our table.
The hibachi portion of the evening, however, didn’t quite match the high expectations we had—especially since this place was chosen to give our boss and friends a memorable time. While the chef cooked most of the dishes properly, the interactive and energetic performance that typically makes hibachi dining so enjoyable was somewhat lacking. He appeared disengaged, and the lively atmosphere we were hoping for just wasn’t fully there.
On the food side, most items were well-prepared and flavorful. The rice, vegetables, and other selections were seasoned nicely and tasted great. Unfortunately, the salmon was disappointing. It seemed to have been frozen and ended up burnt on the outside while remaining undercooked inside. The attempt to fix it did not improve it much, which slightly dampened the overall mood at the table.
We did appreciate the discount offered for the salmon, as it showed consideration and professionalism. Despite this hiccup, our overall fondness for Yamato’s remains. It’s still a place we enjoy, and we would be willing to return, hoping for a more engaging and flawless experience next time.

Who doesn’t love a good hibachi experience? That’s definitely us. We visited Yamato’s as a party of five and were seated fairly quickly, which was a great start.
Our server, Samir, was very hospitable and on top of everything the entire time—we truly appreciated his attentiveness and great service.
While our chef provided a decent overall experience, it did fall short of what we’re used to. He wasn’t very engaging and seemed like he would rather be anywhere else than at our table. Most of the food was cooked and seasoned perfectly, with the exception of the salmon. Unfortunately, it was clearly frozen and ended up being burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. The attempt to recook it only made things worse, and the experience noticeably went downhill from there.
That said, the discount we received for the salmon was appreciated. Despite this hiccup, it doesn’t change our overall love for Yamato’s, and we’ll certainly be back. If you’re in the area, it’s still a spot we highly recommend stopping by.

Yamato Sushi Restaurant delivers an enjoyable dining experience. The combination of welcoming staff and a solid menu makes it a great spot for a casual lunch or a fun dinner with friends. Prices are reasonable for the portion size. Lily took great care of our group!
Note: For some reason, the restaurant floor was so slippery and not easy to walk around
