Never had a sushi roll that came looking like it would fall apart and did fall apart upon picking up with chopsticks.
Service was also shoddy. Sat at the bar but was expected to conjure up the menu myself. And water came almost 10 minutes later.
Granted, the servers were at least friendly.

This afternoon at 6 PM, I passed by Bishop with my daughter and ordered takeout from Yamatani—a Tomato Sushi for $5 and an Eel Cut Roll for $14. When we opened them, this is what they looked like. The eel roll only had five pieces; I’m not sure if it’s the same when dining in. However, they didn’t look appetizing at all.

Surprisingly excellent fish quality all the way in the eastern Sierra! I also happened to be there on noodle night and the sambal noodles were quite tasty. The owners are very friendly, being the host and the sushi chef, and the atmosphere is classic and casual. The prices are as expected for this quality of food in a remote city. Highly recommend. My favorite place in Bishop.

We waited an hour for our meal to come. Despite asking to cancel, our server insisted that the food would come within a minute. The salmon teriyaki and chicken katsu finally came out after an hour but we were then told there was no rice. We were still expected to pay full price. The salmon also has all of its pi bones…. $60 is insane for this kind of service.

Great quality sushi at great value prices. Very happy,

All the food was very delicious, and I showed up about 30 minutes before closing, but everyone was awesome and very understanding. All the food came out promptly, and the price was unbeatable compared to some other restaurants I have been to. If I ever find myself in Bishop again, I will have to stop by again!

Starting off with the good, staff was attentive (but not friendly). The atmosphere was lively. I had the Calamari & Tonkatsu combination dinner plate and the crunchy roll. Food was flavorless, with zero seasoning. Calamari was beyond rubbery. I'm not sure how they managed to make a worse crunchy roll than Vons. Paid almost $90 for 2 people for the most mediocre Japanese meal I've ever had.

The location was conveniently right next to my hotel. The service was excellent. My server was friendly, quick, and offered solutions to problems. She didn't stop moving around the dining room all night, but always had a pleasant disposition. My only issue is with the quality of my nigiri, which I'd been looking forward to. When I walked in, there was a specials sign for a Fried Baby Octopus appetizer, but they were out of it. The were also out of Toro & Uni. I know the price & availability of both of those items is hit or miss, but I'd specifically been excited about those two. I ended up getting Yellowtail Fin(?), which was another special, as a replacement. It was dry with very small cuts of fish. I also got the Tako and Seared Albacore. The octopus was unpleasantly rubbery & impossible to chew, even for Tako. The albacore was also dry. The Yellowtail and especially, the buttery rich Mackerel were the stars of the show, and saved my plate in the end.
Cold steak, he brought it back nuked , had waiter bring me a fresh one, he was rude when he brought our food

Just wish the teriyaki chicken wasn't so dry (thigh meat would have been so much better). Also, it should have been cut into bite sized pieces since they don't give you a knife.

This is not Japanese’s food. The food was bad, not sure how they call that a Japanese food. The food is expensive too. I hope they improve.
