I have been to several other locations and this one is by far the BEST! The service is always A1 and the food is so appetizing. It reminds me of a hole in the wall due to its location but you CANNOT find better Asian food in Berea. This is my go to for special occasions and especially if friends come to visit and want to eat somewhere that offers a calming ambience. Their sushi quality is always top notch and their yakisoba filet is a favorite! Flavored sake only sweetens the deal. Quick tip, I usually order a box of fried rice to go and add it to meals throughout the week for meal prep! Lastly please tip your hibachi and sushi chefs they work so hard to provide the best quality of meals.

If you eat here don't get take out. We ordered online and waited the 25 minutes for our food to be ready. When we went inside to pick up the food they hadn't even started the order because "it wasn't connected ". They literally said "well most people call in their order so this isn't connected ". I'm sorry but if you are going to offer online ordering then YOU NEED TO CONNECT IT. No apologies, no discounts, just "well you'll have to give us 25 minutes". We get home and the food isn't even warm. It took me 4 minutes to get home. My food should have been warm. Never again.

Definitely fits in the "hole in the wall" category which is great. Food was plentiful and well priced. Service was okay, our server may have been new. My only big gripe was the whole place seemed a little gross. Like they should shut down for a good three or four days and really, really, clean. Otherwise definitely recommend as a great sushi spot in the middle of nowhere.

The service was lovely, because the girl serving was very sweet. I should have taken the hint when she came by to ask about the food with a kind of face. The food was just gross. There wasn't a photo of what I wanted, but a spicy salmon roll sounded perfectly normal. When it came out, it was blended. Just unseasoned rice wrapped around some very spicy goop. Not appetizing at all. The "hibachi" style food was bland and cool as well. Definitely won't be going back. Such a shame. Berea always has the best little restaurants.

Our server was very nice and proper. The food was served promptly. The proportions were very large. A quiet little restaurant, would recommend if you're in the area.

Quaint cozy local feel. The store is clean but simple. The servers treat you like they have known you all your life. I was very pleasantly surprised with our servers willingness to talk about religion after we got our food. She never rushed us and still kept all the tables service. It was pretty slow when we were there but it was a week night. Now into the good stuff. I had a sushi roll called the Godzilla roll. Oh. My. Goodness. My new favorite. It was delicious. The sushi roll are prepared up front where you can see the chef making them. The grand kids had sobo chicken noodles and they cleaned their plates. Prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you get. My sushi roll was huge. It was 15.00 which is on par with other sushi prices however I've never received a roll that size. Do yourself a favor and visit Yomatto in Berea Ky. Exit 76 off I-75. You can thank me later. Don't be put off by the manager. She treats everyone as if you are her kids. lol. A+ in my book

I have been dining here for several years, and since the pandemic closed indoor dining, I pick up every Sunday, with great glee. It may be just over 9 miles for me, but it's more than worth the drive. The in-person service is marvelous, and I've developed a solid friendship with the counter service.My only quibble is that, by the time I get home, the lobster rangoon is cold, and the tempura shrimp is soggy. But that's not Yamato's fault. I do wish they had mochi ice cream or green tea or ginger ice cream, for dessert.

Very friendly service and large portions. I wish they used a better quality soy sauce for their take out, as it had a watered down taste that didn't go well with the nice fresh cucumber roll and sweet potato tempura.

It was basically dead when we went and to be honest, I've actually never seen this place busy, at all, which is a telling sign. Walking on the floors our shoes were sticking to them. The blinds at our booth were filthy. The food smelled fishy and if seafood smells fishy, it means it's not fresh or stored properly and you shouldn't eat it, but, I did. Did 'not' make it home to use my bathroom and had to stop at a gas station instead.The amount of food was totally fine - the quality of the food however was not. Their website states: "Serving with Love", "Tasty Products", and "Wide Range Flavors". I felt 0 love, tasted no tasty products and there was for sure a wide range of flavors but not the ones that go with the items on the plate:1. The miso soup was basically used dish water in a tiny bowl with something green in it - not sure if seaweed or kelp or a random leaf from outside but it was one piece and very, very, tiny at that. There was no tofu in it like most other places.2. The 'salad' was also in a tiny bowl and it was just plain ol iceberg lettuce with 'one' cucumber piece on top...but in their defense, you can only fit one cucumber piece in a bowl that tiny. The ranch is disgusting; not Hidden Valley quality by any means. The pieces of the iceberg were also quite large; you might want to bring in some garden shears to tame it down a bit before attempting to eat it.3. The spring roll or egg roll or deep fried crayon, was no lie, the size of my pinky finger and I'm not even sure what was in it, if anything.4. The salmon was two 'pieces' but very thin, like seriously thin and smelled fishy and it was covered in sooooo much sauce, I assume to mask the odor. Some of the bottom still had skin on it. Don't places remove that nowadays? I don't recall it anywhere else I eat salmon. Stinky Salmonson was overcooked in some places yet juicy in others.Verdict: 100% unacceptable quality of food for the ridiculous price they charged for it.Will not eat there again. Will not recommend it to anyone either.
