I haven't been back to Yamato since last year when I found a rodent dropping on my plate in their sushi bar. Also, I found the sushi on boats to be tired.

I live in the area and have been here a few times. The last time we took our family for the Teppan dinner the chef was on something and he over-cooked the shrimp and kept messing up, maybe he was having a bad night but that did it for me, I don't plan to go back. It is dirty and the air is heavy with oil and grease.

I think you go to this restaurant more for the experience than for the food. The sushi is average and the tepan is decent. It is fun to go with a group or for a celebration.
