Great show and food was good, but waitress taking our party of about 15 was not present after initial refills and taking orders. Actual chef had to stop what he was doing to get some drink refills. Don't think we saw her again before we left.

Thank you to all the reviews. The building may look abandoned on the outside, and it may be loud (from chefs performing), but it is so much amazing food for the price. Staff is very friendly and service was fast. Even though our entertaining table was just my husband and I, they still did our food there. Great place!!!

Had a great waitress and cook. The service was amazing and our chef was excellent. Jamie our waitress and Rotson our chef both did amazing. The food was spot on and service impressive. For the 1st time in 20 years the Sushi roll was perfectly done. Thank you for a great meal.

We were skeptical at first because most of the reviews we read were very negative...but they were 100% WRONG! This was WITHOUT A DOUBT the ABSOLUTE BEST Hibachi dinner we have EVER experienced!!! Yes business is slow and it looked like they were closed from the outside, but once we got inside, we experienced IMMEDIATE service from a very cordial waitress. Drinks in hand within 5 minutes. Food being prepared within 10 minutes! The chef was very nice and skilled in the traditional hibachi style of cooking, including the traditional "egg rolls", "shrimp flips" and "volcano". Hottest sake I've ever tasted. The portions were the LARGEST we've ever received. We left with 3 boxes of take home goodness!!! Give Yamato a try if you are looking for a high quality, delicious and generally affordable hibachi experience!

This was our 1st time to ever try this place and it was an enjoyable experience. Our chef was skilled and funny and kept us entertained throughout our meal. The food was cooked exactly how we asked and was very good. We upgraded to the fried rice and was very pleased with our choice. We ordered the steak and shrimp and the steak and chicken and the portions were plenty, combined with the rice and fresh grilled vegetables it made for a delicious meal. It was around $25 for each of the combo meals with the fried rice and we took leftovers home. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good food and good entertainment! It is pretty noisy in there at times with the chief banging his spatulas on the grill and especially if someone in your party or in a party close to you has a birthday so if you have sensitive ears or have a infant who might want to sleep you might want to choose a different place.

Been here many times food is great every time the cooks are always interactive. Food is 20 times better than what you would expect based on the building. the portion sized is VERY large and enough to share a plate for cheap.

the food was amazing! i've gone there my whole life and loved it every time! the cooks are always very fun and interactive with customers. the place could use an updo but the food is well worth it! the amount of food on each plate is way too much to finish.
