    The Philadelphia rolls were awesome. Fast service and fresh tasting food. I will be back for more. Price is about par for good Japanese food.

    I was soooo very happy to see a sushi restaurant come to town. The crab salad is a fav of my boys & the lunch sushi special is a great deal. Have eaten sushi her countless times & have to say it is very satisfying.

    Yamato is one of the only Japanese restaurants in Somerset.. That being said, it is pretty good! I frequently visit, because the Sweet Potato Roll is absolutely amazing. The Sushi Chef takes pride in what he sends out, and I've always been pleased with the taste. The staff is very friendly, and always do what they can to make your dining experience a good one. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable.

    Terrible. They wrap the shrimp tempura rolls in lettuce and smother in hot mayo. Its supposed to be just eel sauce.

    I was a little disappointed with the food. I ordered the shrimp tempura bento box which had a lot of food, but it was rather bland. The sushi was great, but the rest of the food was just average. My husband and I both only ate about half of our what we ordered. Yamato is advertised as being a hibachi steak house, but there is no hibachi demonstration. The decor is nice for a strip mall restaurant, but they still have up Christmas decorations in October. Or maybe they are just really early with their decorating. Even though there was nothing in particular wrong with this restaurant, we probably won't be going back.

    Yamato is really the only Asian-inspired cuisine in Somerset that isn't centered around a buffet. That being said, I hope that doesn't color my review. As a whole, I like Yamato. It's a small restaurant in Tradewinds shopping center, but the atmosphere is cozy. They have large cushioned chairs at every table, the lights are low, and there's not an inordinate amount of noise. The prices are little steep when compared to other Japanese restaurants, but they're not completely unreasonable. Also, they never offer any sushi happy-hour specials - so you're always stuck paying full price. The dishware that they serve food on is beautiful and the presentation of their food is nice. I like the food. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on Japanese food, but as an American eating it - it tastes good. I usually stick to Hibachi chicken and it's much like other Hibachi chicken dishes at other Japanese restaurants. On one side you have a bed of rice and the other side of the dish is the chicken with a vegetable medley of zucchini, onions, and mushrooms. It's served with miso soup - which I sometimes eat (drink...?) but it doesn't really make my heart sing, and it also comes with a small salad. It's probably wise to ask for dressing on the side because they'll dump an obnoxious amount of dressing on a very small salad. The salad is a small, simple salad - lettuce base with tomato and cucumber. Nothing special. They offer either ranch or a ginger dressing. The taste of the ginger dressing is great, but the texture is awful. It's very thick, grainy, and clumpy - not exactly how you envision a dressing to be. I can't solidly speak on the quality of the sushi as I've just recently ventured out in that world. However, the rolls that I've tried at Yamato, I've loved. They're always beautiful and my only complaint is that sometimes they're huge - which makes them a little cumbersome to eat.

    I only have 3 places in the state that I will order sushi from and this is one of them. Some of the best sushi I've had. Sauces and the fish are tasty. The asparagus, Philadelphia and Pink Lady rolls are quite good as well as the teriyaki bento boxes. The tempura vegetables aren't always great but not bad. I've seen some places that load the menu up with spicy rolls, perhaps to cover the not-so-great fish. This is not one of those places. Service is good and they remember repeat customers - a nice touch. Very hospitable restaurant. Love this place!

    Yamato is one of the only Japanese resturaunts in Somerset, (though there is a new place named Wasabi in town). They make a wonderful California Roll and their bento boxes are huge. Great atmosphere, but on some nights the staff just is not friendly at all.

    The portions are large and service is good. I recommend getting a bento box with a few pieces of sushi on the side. It is a little expensive so be ready to spend 15-20$ a person. If all you want is sushi then go elsewhere because this isn't the best deal to be had. If you want a little bit of numerous Japanese dishes then this is your place. It's not great, but it's the best Japanese food you're going to find in somerset.

    Ok... Tried it twice... It kinda sucks. The red snapper was gross. Twice. The Unagi roll was the only thing I found to be " good ". It doesn't look bad inside but it could use a little help. It didn't smell fresh like a good sushi bar normally does. That was my first warning. Decent service, fair pricing. Meh. UPDATE::: Ok.. This time was much better. It's still not amazing but it is respectable. I had to give them the respect of giving them another shot. Glad I did... The Mexcan roll is great and the seaweed salad is very fresh and propery seasoned. The fried rolls are not executed very well and need better technique but whatever. The fish was very fresh tonight and the plating was done nicely. The servers still need a little polishing and the speed of the chefs was very slow. I'll come back I'm sure.

    Well, I've ate a lot of sushi in some pretty swank places in my life and this was not one of them. The decor was dark as a Japanese dungeon and everyone was dressed in black like ninjas. Yamato's is tucked away in the Tradewinds Shopping Center, over the hill from Lake Cumberland Hospital in Somerset. That being said, onto the food. I ordered a Dragon Roll, Philly Roll, Miso Soup and salad for lunch. The Miso was typical and served the purpose. The salad was a mixed salad w/cucumber, tomato and lettuce with your choice of ranch or ginger dressing. I stuck with the ginger and received the smallish salad. It was fresh and green, but had a piece of green tomato in it and was overly coated with the dressing. The Philly Roll again was typical, but the seaweed wrap seemed stale and soft. The Dragon Roll on the other hand was exceptional and very fresh. I'll give this place credit. The rolls were elegantly placed on a fashionable plate and were served w/wasabi paste, pickled ginger and also some shredded carrot and cucumber. I could tell that presentation meant something to this sushi chef. Not the worst I've ever had, but not the best either. With a little work, this place could be good.

    My wife and I have eaten at Yamato's a couple of times since it opened. While they prepare hibachi style foods they do not do demonstration/show cooking. They do; however, have a sushi bar, where the sushi chef prepares a myriad of sushi. The food; both hibachi style & sushi is pretty decent and a happy departure from what is currently available here and the surrounding areas; however, their servers are borderline terrible. We would eat here more often if the service was better.

    Great service and atmosphere. Surprisingly good and decent sized servings. Had samon from bosu portion of menu and liked everything on the plate. Reasonably priced and a pleasant surprise while traveling through
