Yamato Japanese Restaurant offers a classic Teppanyaki experience in Yorkville, Toronto. The restaurant is divided into two sections - one for sushi and sashimi, and the other for Teppanyaki. Customers can sit around a grill and watch a talented chef prepare their meal right in front of them, creating an entertaining show. The food is generally good, with standout dishes like the Filet Mignon and Fried Rice, though items like Sirloin and Scallops are less impressive. The Teppanyaki includes fried rice and various vegetables. The chef's performance adds fun to the dining experience, though the stir-fry itself is fairly standard.
The restaurant offers a la carte options and recommends sharing platters for two. Some customers have noticed that portions seem slightly smaller now, with thinner meat and fewer veggies, but the fried rice remains delicious. Service is consistently top-notch, and the restaurant is accessible by public transit or car, with paid parking nearby.
The interior could use some updates, as it feels somewhat worn, and ventilation can cause strong smells when the restaurant is busy. Despite some wear and tear, Yamato remains a popular spot for its unique Teppanyaki experience with tricks and a mini show, making it worth a visit for those seeking a fun and tasty meal.
