Best Japanese Food – i recently went to this restaurant with my family. we ate at the sushi bar and the regular table before, it was a great experiance both with the delicious food, very friendly sushimen and extremely caring service from the servers. this time we decided to try the teppan side and was very happy with the food and service. both the chef and our server constantly make sure if we are doing ok or if we need anything. i really don't understand why some people would write a bad review about this restaurant. for m... read more

Birthday Dinner there a BIG MISTAKE – We decided to go to this restaurant because we live in walking distance and my daughter had been there once with friends and liked her food. I can't say that we shared that experience! Not really busy for a Tuesday night, and we were seating in the sushi bar area at a table for four. Our one year old did not eat with us. I was disappointed with the cleanliness in general and how cramped we were both at the table and next to other large parties. If our Japanese female server was experienc... read more

terrible sushi – i happened to pass by this restaurant with a few friends and thought why not lets try this place. big mistake. walked in and asked to be seated in the sushi area and was told by the hostess that she didnt know what she had in there and had to go look. this took her about 10 minutes cause she stopped to chat with a bus boy. so finally we got seated at a table that was not completely bussed (crumbs everywhere). when we asked to have it bussed we where given attitude by the bus boy. when are server came to us s... read more

Fun place to go with Friends or Fam – I really enjoy going to Yamato with my family or a group of friends because sitting at the Teppan grill is always a fun bonding experience. The menu is similar to Bennihana- but perhaps a bit cheaper. The meals are always very filling and yummy- the shrimp is my absolute favortie. The sushi at Yamato is also quite tasty, although I usually go there for the Teppan.

Great bartender – I always sit at the bar when I come in the restaruant, not really for anything else but for the great service I get from Mika, the bartender. She is so cute and always pleasent, and my drinks always come out perfectly: I usually end up ordering at least 3. The sushi is wonderful, and incredibly priced for what you get and the fish always tastes very fresh. This is also in a great location since the movie theater is right downstairs...stop in for a quick bite and some drinks and go to a movie: makes a great ... read more

Good food,great sushi, good service – Being new to the Encino area, We went on the internet to find a sushi place. We discovered a place we not only will be back to, but will bring our friends. We were seated immediately, which is unusual for 7pm on a Sunday Night. The service was excellent people were coming to the table very often to see if we needed anything, or if the food was ok. The soft shell crab was the best since I left Louisiana. the Shumai was very good and I was very happy with the spicy tuna,California ,and spi... read more
