Yamatani Japanese Restaurant

The restaurant is conveniently located on Main Street with plenty of parking on the side and in the back. The host staff was friendly and the server was patient, efficient and very nice. We had many questions about the menu and he answered them and took his time with us.
The prices were on the high side for what you get, but food was flavorful.

This restaurant has a lot of heart. A couple owns and operates the place. He is the sushi chef (working along side his daughter), she handles the front of the house. Wait staff HUSTLES to cover the busy floor. Really enjoyed my visit.

Was seated in a nice table, ordered egg rolls they were terrific. ordered my Crunchy roll and the steamed vegetables, the vegetables come with the most amazing dip sauce. I highly recommend the place

I’ve been here several times and they were all very good. However, there was one time I sat in the bar area, and it took forever for us to get menu, food, or the check. The restaurant wasn’t that busy at that time. It just doesn’t make sense for a bartender to also server the bar area tables. This is so inefficient and creates very bad experience for diners at the bar area. Hope the restaurant can fix this.

Wow wow wow!!! Who Would've Thought Bishop would have such an awesome Japanese restaurant! It was a pleasant surprise to come in and try their food here. The salmon bellies, $3 chicken wings, tempura, and katsu were quite delicious. More than what I would have expected in a small town like Bishop. But the place was packed! I think the locals know this is a really good place for Japanese food. There can be quite a wait, so be prepared if you're coming on the weekend or busy travel day. They have a full bar too, in case you need to warm up with some alcohol. They have a good selection of Japanese beers as well! Shaelee took great care of us!
