My whole family loved it. Our waitress Anna was attentive and engaging; made the experience enjoyable. Our chef, ShadyGage, was awesome he was great with the kids! We had several with food allergies at the table and he took great care to try to accommodate all of them while making us aware that if severe allergies cross contamination might happen… Food was excellent, cooked to perfection and large portions, had to get take home bags…this is going on our list of stops next time we are here.

Place was filthy. I guess they don’t clean between seating because the floor around my chair and where the chef was standing was littered with food scraps and lemons. Then you look up and see the walls and the vents and you begin to wonder what the prep kitchen must look like if this is what the dining room looks like.

Great staff! Made our visit fun and enjoyable and the food was great! Don’t let a few bad reviews keep you from giving them a try.

Apparently there’s some negative reviews for Yamato online. I don’t know why, as you visit this place for a specific experience — the cook preparing food in front of you with a certain flair, lots of food which is actually tasty and freshly prepared. Overall a experience I’ll remember.

I loved the experience of Yamato. Servers were attentive without being intrusive. The chef was entertaining, and kept the whole company involved in what he was doing. This is a great place for a celebration.

This used to be my favorite restaurant when I was younger. I’d pick to go here for every special occasion. I had not been in over 10 years and was excited to bring my kids and share the same experiences. I was extremely disappointed in the atmosphere, cleanliness, quality of food, and the prices. The restaurant is not well maintained at all anymore. The bathrooms are disgusting, the grout is black, and it’s not been deep cleaned in what seems like years. Many tables were left with dirty plates from previous customers and were still not cleaned up by the time we left.

Went here with the family for dinner and we really loved the experience. There was no wait for a table and staff was very attentive. Our chef was great and did an excellent job of entertaining us throughout the meal. He was the GM and made sure we all were enjoying ourselves. Food was very well prepared and was spot-on with temperature, which I always appreciate. Would definitely visit again.

Have been going to Yamato since moving to Charelston in 2015. It was always our go to place for a family night out and in particular my sons favorite for his birthday. This will be last birthday and more than likely last visit that we or I will make to Yamato.
