Yamato Japanese Restaurant 1074 South State Street, Orem, UT 84097

""My experience at Yamato restaurant on Valentine's Day was underwhelming. Despite the bustling crowd, the food left much to be desired, with only one highlight being a tasty juice. While the atmosphere may have been romantic and the restaurant popular among diners, the lackluster quality of the food was disappointing. However, it's possible that other menu items may appeal to different tastes, but based on my experience, I was left wanting more in terms of culinary satisfaction.""

"This is an excellent Japanese restaurant. We had dinner which was excellent. The service was fast and polite. It was very clean inside and the presentation of the food was great along with the flavor. We will definitely go back if in Utah."

"Overall delicious food and good service! If you’re looking for Japanese food and some pretty good sushi, this is a great option! I ordered the sushi and gyoza combo, it was a great price (13.49$) for that as well as a small salad, miso soup, and a bowl of rice as well included. My family ordered the beef bulgogi and two yakisoba dishes (not pictured). Portions were really good for the price. The yakisoba flavors could have been more prominent in the yakisoba. The gyoza and sushi combo is served with the Cali roll, but I upgraded to the Yamato roll which was amazing and delicious. The tuna and salmon on my sushi were not as fresh as you might get elsewhere, but overall I enjoyed it and would eat their sushi again. The gyoza was delicious and moist, but nothing that especially stood out flavor wise. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is quite nice and relaxing, nice, dim lighting which makes it a calm environment. They have regular tables as well as traditional Japanese kneeling tables. We unfortunately did not get to sit there because they were all full. Our server was wonderful! 3 parking spaces available right in front of the restaurant and further parking in the back."

"We love Yamato! Our daughter got the kids chicken teriyaki. It was so much food! The curry rice was delightful. We got a couple of sushi rolls too. Everything was so tasty and good!"
