Yamato Express of Gastonia

"It's always a pleasant experience going to Yamatos. The owner always interacts with the customers and he's super nice. Hate they don't have help to open inside, but it's still the best Japanese restaurant to eat at. Definitely my go to when I want Japanese food. I'd give them 10+ stars"

"Came around 11:30 to pick my order up this was my first time eating here and was excited but now I don’t want to come back. The lady that rang up my food was rude and then on top of that mine and everyone else’s food was bland and nasty. I do not recommend this place to anyone, highly disappointed"

"**They charge your card twice and will not refund you!!** Worst experience I’ve had with this restaurant. I’ve been eating here since they opened and have never had an issue until yesterday (12-01-2023). I’ve read other reviews of this situation happening to people who have bought food here, saying to only pay with cash and not card, and I thought it was a bunch of croc because I’ve ALWAYS had great and quick customer service. All of our food was undercooked, no sanitary practices, and very rude and argumentative owners not seeming to want to correct the issue. They also tried to yank my receipt away from me so I wouldn’t have proof of them charging me twice. Needless to say, I will no longer be returning as a loyal customer."

"We eat here once every other month we have always enjoyed the food.. however this last visit gave us food poisoning Two of us had chicken, And I had the veggies plate . The two that had the chicken was extremely sick a few hours later... sucks this happened cuz we always liked the food. But lesson learned and won't be going back"

"Very small serving size compared to others. Only 6 sweet carrots in one tray. This place used to be good before. Will not be ordering again. I rather go to Saki Express in mount holly and that’s a pretty good drive to get there."
