Yamatos never ceases to amaze. The fresh, tasty, and expertly constructed sushi is top notch. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is relaxed. However, sometimes party animals can be loud.

Very good sushi. The service is well versed in gluten-free nutrition. There is even an extra menu with gluten-free sushi.
We went there twice in 3 days because we enjoyed it so much.

Went there for dinner, atmosphere reminds of Japan in 2000s, the food was good for the money, lychee sake paired great with everything!

Excellent Sushi restaurant! The Sashimi was so fresh and delicious personally recommend the yellow tail! Their specialty rolls were also very good and had some different combination i haven't had before. Loved the grasshopper roll! Can be a little pricey but that could also be because we ate so much!

This place was outstanding! Maggie our server was crazy awesome, we just asked for her to serve us what she would think we liked to eat and it did not disappoint! The chefs were also on point. I can’t recommend this place enough for atmosphere friendly staff and super delicious fresh sushi.
