The Hibachi show here is worth watching. The chef will cook your meal in front of you and sometimes throw food towards you for you to catch in your mouth. The kids love eating here.

The Habachi is great, big portions for a good price. The entertaining cooks are great but it is the same old song and dance. The sushi is mediocre. Not the best in town. Definitely suggest Habachi here

Every time I go to this place they mess up my order. I will never in my life spend another dollar at this restaurant. You would think as high as they are, that they could at least make an order correctly.

The food was terrific, even though the cook didn't really contribute anything to the occasion, other than making the good taste really GOOD. Only problem was that no one arrived to fill our table, so we were the only two to cook for, and the...pacing was lacking. Steak there was cooked as ordered, medium. The server was friendly, and spent a bit of time talking with us as we waited hoping others would show up. They did, only a few minutes after we gave up, and started the meal. Sigh.More

We started with spring rolls and edamame in the bar while we waited for our table, service wasn't great but the drinks were good as well as the spring rolls. We ordered two rolls, Dynamite and Dancing Monkey and a fried rice with chicken. The...Dynamite was one of the best I have had, I would go back for that alone. The Dancing Monkey was refreshing. The fried rice with chicken was very good with plenty of chicken and the portion was generous. Our service was excellent, staff was attentive but did not make you feel rushed.More

I will start this out by saying I have been here many times but it has been a long time. And have loved this place so I don’t know what changed. We walked into Yamato for lunch. We waited for about 5 minutes for the...hostess to even come to the front. She didn’t acknowledge us and answered the phone then walked off. Several minutes later she came back and asked how many. But I didn’t hear her so I said “excuse me?” And got closer. She stared at me for a second like I was dumb at said how many. We told her 2 for lounge. She said ok let me seat this guy first he has been here longer. So she seated him and walked over to the manager and back over there. We got frustrated and just went to Kawas. The lack of basic customer service makes me question eating and doing business at this establishment.More

I recently took my grandson to Yamato's for dinner as I had a friend playing there that evening. Initially service was good but we were less than a 1/3 of the way finished eating when the server asked if we were finished and wanted boxes....I was a bit surprised because we had large servings. We were trying to have a leisurely meal and still were not finished when I was asked if I was ready for the check. I did not get to hear my friend play because we were rushed out of the restaurant. The food was average but it was hard to enjoy under pressure. Still gave the server a generous tip as it was probably not his fault but his instructions. Will not be back.More

Tyler is not exactly a food mecca. That said, it is hard to get any sort of decent ethnic food here. Yamato brings Japanese to a new level without the usual kitsch. Food is great. Service a little rough around the edges, but not bad....Décor very in-Tyler like. Lighting was perfect. We had sushi and ramen and both were better than we expected. Prices very reasonable.More

Had dinner the 15th there, they give you more quantity for less money than any other place in tyler. The sushi is always very fresh and tasty !

The staff is great and the food was excellent. We ordered the hibachi meals comes with soup, salad, meat of choice rice and noodles with mixed veggies which we all loved! We also ordered the crab wontons and shrimp tempura appetizers both really good and...we got sushi!!!! Way to much food cause everything is really good sized portions but made a great lunch the next day😉 definitely worth it and will be going back!!!!More

Tried for the first time. We have eaten at similiar Japanese restaurants and have enjoyed the food and the preparation. We arrived shortly after 5 pm and were seated immediately. Our table had 2 other couples. The chef came out and started preparing our meal....The things that we all ordered was the ribeye, the chicken and scallops, the new York strip and several sushi rolls. The first put was some mushroom soup and a salad. The soup was a good start. The salad was a green salad with our choice of dressing. Next was the sushi rolls. We had the rainbow roll, California roll and the dragon roll. The rolls were large and each piece was more than a bite. There were 8 to 10 pieces in a roll. Then the preparation show begin. The flipping of the spatulas and the tossing of the eggs and the onion volcanoes. Although we noticed other chefs were more skilled in the presentation. Even though the rest of the meal turned out very good. The fried rice and noodles were very good. The steaks, chicken and scallops were very tender and cooked just right. We enjoyed our meal and will be back. One could just have one of the plates and it would be around $22 a person. The rolls were around $12. Other places it is hard getting out under $40 a person.More

I have been there three times already and I absolutely love it. I beg had a wonderful experience every time!!
