Yamato Japanese Seafood

I've had the opportunity to dine here twice now. Once at the hibachi table, and once a la carte. Our hibachi experience was great. Very benihanna "esque". More experience, less entertainment. Good was great, a bit pricey but definitely worth it as the food was amazing. Our a la carte experience was also amazing. We had a bit of a mishap with one of our soups as we wish we were told it was a beef/pork broth. This is important information, and needs to be shared with customers. I had already consumed half of it before thinking to ask. They replaced it immediately with a miso soup. Udon bowl was amazing with veggies, and will definitely order again. The sushi here is as expected with a Japanese restaurant, fresh, tasty and delicious.

Nice Japanese restaurant, price and portion are reasonable, great staffs, comfortable environment and good vibes. Tapanyaki chef is entertaining, but…….the food just tooooooooo salty!!! Expect this, overall is fine. By the way, reserve $10-15 extra for parking. It’s not easy to get a street parking spot, depends on your luck 🙄

Not only is the food amazing, but the service is top notch too. Everything I ordered was perfectly balanced, and the meal was worth every penny. I ordered the teppanyaki scallop, and toro and uni nigiri, as well as green tea and warm sake, and it was the perfect lunch treat. These chefs know what they're doing!

We had a wonderful time at Yamato’s. They were able to squeeze us in as a walk in. The service was attentive, the food pretty good, but the tappanyaki is the real reason to go here. Though the restaurant is located in yorkville and costly, this is definitely not a high dining experience. Other patrons were in jogging pants, the restaurant can get loud and rough and the food is basic (and yummy).

I had a great time with my partner at Yamato. We went for the teppanyaki. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious! I really love that they have a teppanyaki chef cooking the meal right in front of you. Our chef was super funny, too. We got the beef, chicken and shrimp combo. The meat are fresh, sauce was on a little saltier side but it is acceptable. You have to order the fried rice, it's my favourite dish of the night, I can't get enough of it! Their sushi are fresh, too. You can also try out their beef and chicken skewers. We ordered the egg custard for dessert, it was delicious. Overall I like the food and vibe, will be coming back again! Make sure you call to RSVP before you go.
