Best Hibachi & Sushi

We came here with another couple before our cruise the following day. We had such a great experience. The food was amazing - both hibachi and sushi. Fried rice was amazing. The service was also fantastic. We really enjoyed our chef and the wait staff.

Sushi

We have been customers of Yamato’s for years. It is our favorite place to eat sushi. The owners are always on the premise to make sure everything is perfect. We went tonight and as usual were not disappointed.

It was OK

It’s a wanna be show guns with smaller portions. Food tasted decent, staff was friendly. Nothing particularly special about it. A little too pricey for the amount of food you get
