Yamato

The service was lovely, because the girl serving was very sweet. I should have taken the hint when she came by to ask about the food with a kind of face. The food was just gross. There wasn't a photo of what I wanted, but a spicy salmon roll sounded perfectly normal. When it came out, it was blended. Just unseasoned rice wrapped around some very spicy goop. Not appetizing at all. The "hibachi" style food was bland and cool as well. Definitely won't be going back. Such a shame. Berea always has the best little restaurants.

Our server was very nice and proper. The food was served promptly. The proportions were very large. A quiet little restaurant, would recommend if you're in the area.

Quaint cozy local feel. The store is clean but simple. The servers treat you like they have known you all your life. I was very pleasantly surprised with our servers willingness to talk about religion after we got our food. She never rushed us and still kept all the tables service. It was pretty slow when we were there but it was a week night. Now into the good stuff. I had a sushi roll called the Godzilla roll. Oh. My. Goodness. My new favorite. It was delicious. The sushi roll are prepared up front where you can see the chef making them. The grand kids had sobo chicken noodles and they cleaned their plates. Prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you get. My sushi roll was huge. It was 15.00 which is on par with other sushi prices however I've never received a roll that size. Do yourself a favor and visit Yomatto in Berea Ky. Exit 76 off I-75. You can thank me later. Don't be put off by the manager. She treats everyone as if you are her kids. lol. A+ in my book

Very friendly service and large portions. I wish they used a better quality soy sauce for their take out, as it had a watered down taste that didn't go well with the nice fresh cucumber roll and sweet potato tempura.

some of the best hibachi i've ever had. pink lady roll is also my go to! delicious, consistent food & service. highly recommend!!

I have been dining here for several years, and since the pandemic closed indoor dining, I pick up every Sunday, with great glee. It may be just over 9 miles for me, but it's more than worth the drive. The in-person service is marvelous, and I've developed a solid friendship with the counter service.

My only quibble is that, by the time I get home, the lobster rangoon is cold, and the tempura shrimp is soggy. But that's not Yamato's fault. I do wish they had mochi ice cream or green tea or ginger ice cream, for dessert.

The food has always been good. The Sushi is pretty good it's just a little pricey to me. My wife likes the spicy crab stick and the kids like the hibachi chicken.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Berea.
The food is amazing and the service was fantastic. We ordered fried sweet potatoes as an appetizer, they were delicious as well as the dipping sauce that comes with them.
I ordered the Filet Mignon Hibachi which comes with salad, Miso soup, fried rice and sautéed onions and zucchini. The steak was cooked to perfection. The rice and veggies were amazing. The soup was delicious. The salad is just iceberg lettuce and cucumber but the house dressing makes it.
My husband ordered some sushi which he said was fresh and delicious. He also ordered the Swordfish steak Hibachi dinner. He said it was amazing. I tried it even though I don't like any sort of fish and it really was delicious.
We were happy that we chose this restaurant for our date night and will definitely be back. The service was wonderful also.

Yamato is an underappreciated sushi spot next to the Chestnut Street exit and the local Walmart. The interior seats crowds of all sizes and patrons may be surprised at its dark and subdued atmosphere. I joined two friends for dinner. We were seated promptly at a window booth.

I ordered the Tyku citrus cucumber spritz. The placard describes a light beverage with sake, yuzu, fruit flavors, and dashed with Sprite. In practice, the cocktail is very flat and cloying sweet. It would have been better with seltzer for sure.

I ordered a spicy California and a shrimp tempura roll. Miso soup preceded the dish. The soup was very light with small bits of seaweed and a clean flavor. The rolls were fine. The only issue was that the sauces were a bit overpowering. Ask them to go light on the spicy mayo and such; you'll be fine. That said, two rolls for $10 is an unbeatable deal.

Service is acceptable. I have had this waiter before. He is prompt and stays out of the way once the food comes.

I have to be in a mood for it, but this place is a welcome food addition to the area. Stop on in and enjoy.

Food is always fresh and delicious! The sushi is great as well! They have good customer service and are very friendly. I eat here about once a week or so since they opened!
