YAMATO JAPANESE

Just left! Food was great, but the service was cold and unfriendly. Entered and asked for seating at a booth as a party of 1. Hostess stated there were no booths until I pointed out a couple. Ordered the shrimp tempura and snow crab salad as an appetizer. Had the Alexander Roll as my entree. A more friendly atmosphere and wait staff (server was efficient, but barely greeted me) would put this restaurant over the top. Half booths and half tables along the wall are entirely too close together. Will definitely order again. Probably takeout.

The staff was great and the food was delicious. This isn't a place where there is hibachi show at your table, but you can see them cooking when you walk-in. We didn't miss it.
The salads ginger dressing was my favorite! I have enough for 2 meals since my husband gave me his salad. I was telling my husband we needed a good Hibachi place in Wetumpka the week before they opened and was so excited to see the article a few days later. It was a funny coincidence. Tonight we finally decided to go and this place is dangerous to have so close. We will be back again!

First time here since they opened and I am happy to say they did not disappoint. It’s not a big place but they did a great job remodeling the old building and it looks very nice, bright and inviting. We got there a little after 6 pm and we got seated right away but they were just about full up. Waitress was very nice, took our order and the food came out within 15 minutes if not sooner. I got the hibachi steak and chicken combination. It came with a ginger salad which was your typical Japanese ginger salad but tasty just the same. They fried rice, vegetables, steak and chicken were delicious and the portions were large. We each had enough leftovers for another full meal each. I would have to vote this restaurant addition to Wetumpka as one of the best the city has had in a while. It was reasonable on price for Japanese at dinner, costing about $23 a piece. This will definitely be a place I will visit again.

Service was excellent. The sushi and apps were great. Hibachi was not-so-great. The portions were small; Only received 5 medium shrimp, half a palm of chicken, some broccoli, onions, and (plain) fried rice. Shrimp were very overcooked. This is a great place for sushi though so I will return for that.

Food was good, sushi was served very quickly, appetizers came after that and the hibachi meal was served much later. Other than the hibachi meal taking longer it was good. Staff were friendly, atmosphere was calm and enjoyable.
