"My experience at Yamato restaurant on Valentine's Day was underwhelming. Despite the bustling crowd, the food left much to be desired, with only one highlight being a tasty juice. While the atmosphere may have been romantic and the restaurant popular among diners, the lackluster quality of the food was disappointing. However, it's possible that other menu items may appeal to different tastes, but based on my experience, I was left wanting more in terms of culinary satisfaction."

This is one of the best Japanese restaurants that my fiancé and I love to go to often! The food is always awesome! The atmosphere and decor are so cool. We almost always have great service! My fiance loves the oasam bulgogi. Which has squid, napa cabbage, pork belly, and a few other veggies. It's very spicy! But he loves it! I always go for some of the fried sushi rolls, and the gyoza is the best that I have ever had. ?

This is an excellent Japanese restaurant. We had dinner which was excellent. The service was fast and polite. It was very clean inside and the presentation of the food was great along with the flavor. We will definitely go back if in Utah.

Delicious and affordable! We had yakisoba noodles, miso, nigiri and gyoza. Again, both very delicious and very affordable.

Absolutely hands down the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. It took approximately 45 minutes to be seated, they did not have enough seats to hold everybody waiting in the lobby. The menu was unclear and I ordered a combo platter of sashimi which I assumed would come as rice rolls, it was just 8 pieces of sliced fish with spinach leaves, the waiter was friendly but the manager (I assume) was frantically pacing around the building with a concerned look on his face moving from table to table. The waitress told me I could grab a drink from the fridge and they would add it to my check, I did this and the same flustered (manager?) rushed over to me and without saying a word gave me very disgruntled, almost angry glances for about 1 minute and acted like I was stealing or something. It was one of the most genuinely terrible, weird, and confusing experiences I have ever had. Oh and, it was $26 for the drink, 8 small filets of fish, and a tiny bowl of rice.

Very Cheap serve large. This place is great and the service is great I have been here multiple times and I lost count of it. My husband likes the Nabeyaki Udon They never fails us YAMATO JAPANESE RESTAURANT IS THE BEST.

Great Japanese comfort food. I recommend the beef teriyaki and shrimp tempura combo, the grilled salmon, and the katsudon.The staff I is always friendly but service can be quite slow sometimes.
They are desperately working for a tip. They rudely ask “NO TIP?!” If they weren’t given any tip due to food safety issues (like fingers in a cup or a sauce). They walk around with TIP TIP TIP TIP in mind. Raise your workers’ salary! It’s ridiculous how servers and hosts rely on tips nowadays! NO, I don’t have to give you a tip! Remember that!

The staff is very kind and professional, and the food is so delicious. Highly recommended the katsu curry and okonomiyaki!
Such amazing food after going for over 3 decades. It is still my favorite place for sushi, and the yamato katsu is amazing. The yamato crispy is the perfect bite it's sweet,savory,spicy, creamy, and crunchy.
The food was good. My only complaint is that the service was slow. They only had one server taking orders. I know many restaurants are struggling with being understaffed. I hope they are able to get more help soon. The food did come in reasonable amount of time once we finally ordered.
