Yamato Japanese Restaurant offers a unique dining experience where the chef prepares and cooks the food in front of guests, making it an entertaining experience. The restaurant has dietary options available and is wheelchair accessible. While some guests have enjoyed friendly chefs, great food, and good service, others have experienced inconsistent food quality and service. Prices have increased, and some guests feel the food quality has declined slightly. The restaurant can be like dinner and a movie, especially with a skilled chef like Chef Tommy, who delivers a delicious meal and a wonderful show. Guests have praised servers like Ola for providing excellent care and service, making the visit memorable. However, there have been issues with reservations and policies, such as being told to wait until the entire party was present, even after reservation mistakes. Overall, Yamato Japanese Restaurant can be a fun and enjoyable place to dine, especially when served by attentive staff and a talented chef.
