Yamato Japanese Restaurant - Warren, Ohio

"Over priced… paid $27.90 for this I requested extra veggies in the place of the rice and they charged me!!! WONT BE BACK I was refunded 3.50 but 24$ for this is still OVERPRICED……..AS IT SAYS IN THE REVIEW YOU REFUNDED 3.50 but 24 is still OVERPRICED FOR WHAT I WAS GIVEN. I was never dishonest. We clearly disagreed in person and on this review about WHAT I SAID but I definitely said INSTEAD of rice can I have extra vegetables, but with how slow business seems to be for you I see why the prices are inflated but hey good luck with the business and I wouldn’t say I enjoyed the dinner but tell the chef THANKS FOR THE EFFORT."

"Joplin was an amazing waitress and deserves a raise. Our Chef was very good as well. My Cucumber, avocado, and carrot sushi roll didn't have but the smallest skid mark of avocado. Very disappointed in that. The owner who was very rude when I tried to ask who the owner was she said she was just a worker here but I do believe she was also the owner. I proceeded to ask why there was only a skid mark of avocado in my sushi roll and she said that's just how it is. So I would not recommend sushi from this place to anyone. I will never be coming back here either as the owner was too rude and she does not deserve my business. There is a picture of the skid mark avocado attached."

"It is pretty obvious that Yamato's best days are long past. The building looks derelict and abandoned from the street. The highly advertised outdoor area is rotten and collapsing. The interior has the requisite grill table. Our server was friendly as was the cook. A big draw of these restraunts is the cook's showmanship and there was none. He cooked and that was it. I ordered an ice tea and the first sip tasted like soap. When I told the waitress she wasn't surprised so I am guessing she heard it before. She offered some explanation that involved the dishwashers not rins>ng properly. The soup and salad were nothing special. Utensils were a well worn fork and spoon. No chopsticks. The entree serving size was generous. But the prices were astronomical for what they delivered. But at the end of the meal I was happy to leave. This place needs to have a humane end for its sake and the public's."

"The salad was not bad, but it was drowned in the dressing. The miso soup it needs a little more seasoning. The hibachi was really good, but the smell in the restaurant and look needs a refresher. The food was good, so I do recommend it, but I will it seems to be higher in price compared to other Hitachi restaurants."

"Meh, I should have turned around when the wife said, "Is this place even open?" While pulling in the parking lot. Basic almost plain flavor no spice, even asked and was told we don't have any spices, fried rice looked already cooked, soup laughable and salad drowning in dressing $65 for 2 and that's the lower end of the menu so It's your choice now but definitely never again for me"
