I absolutely LOVE this place! I've been here more times then my wallet wants to admit this month. I always get a sushi roll, steamed dumplings, and a miso soup!
Our server, Jessica, was totally amazing. The food was great and the atmosphere was peaceful.
Jessica… the absolute best waitress!

Yamato is a restaurant that offers an enjoyable and calming atmosphere, making it an ideal dining destination. The food has been consistently praised, with specific mentions of the delicious miso soup, dragon roll, and crab Rangoon. Vegetarian options, including avocado, cucumber, and carrot sushi, are available. Many customers highlight the freshness of the food, especially the shrimp and Yakisuki, and some mention that the portions are great. The General So Shrimp and Volcano roll are also favorites. The onion soup is noted for its rich flavor. While some find it a bit pricey, the quality of the food and the friendly staff make for a worthwhile experience. One diner even shared that they drive 50 minutes to eat there. The steak is cooked to perfection, and the menu offers good value. However, there have been occasional issues with cooking beef to order, which some customers find less consistent. Overall, Yamato remains a popular spot, with many planning to return, especially during visits to Shelbyville. Notably, a special off-menu roll has been recommended, and the restaurant continues to impress with its fresh, fast service and excellent food.
