Yamato Japanese Restaurant

Very good. Friendly staff and great food!! I love all their food and their yum yum sauce is delicious

If you've been to hibachi before you may not be impressed. They don't put on a "show" like most hibachi chefs do it's pretty much them just cooking the food in front of you. The food was really good although the yum yum sauce is salty and I added a bunch so it made my entire plate too salty. Overall, I would go back but i would just order to go and buy my own yum yum sauce at Giant Eagle.

This has to be by far the WORST Japanese steakhouse I have ever seen. High costs, Sitting fees, sharing fees, extra sauce fees, refill fees and mediocre food. Why they charge a premium price but deliver substandard food is beyond me other then apparently being greedy. Not to mention the place looks like it should be condemned. Do yourself a favor and AVOID! You can get better food elsewhere for half and cost and not be hit with ridiculous fees on a tiny handwritten note so the sneak that little extra into the bill.

First & foremost our meal was good, it was the usual "does not disappoint Japanese Yamato food". Quality sized portions and limitless yum-yum sauce (some locations are so anal about this, but here they literally pass the tub around!). However, this restaurant is a mess. The outer appearance is lacking, almost a shamble, from the road front it appears closed and if no one is there. The main entrance is around back, which is slightly less unkept and more perky. I'm not a local, but this area of Warren looks dilapidated and in need of an economy boost. The staff, while friendly, appeared tired and not enthusiastic about their positions (on arrival, one waitress sitting at the hostess area "do I have to do another table already?"). We visited on a Saturday night and because of slow business only maybe 4 (of approximately 10) grills were running. If I owned this branch I would consider staffing reassessment and relocation or a major renovation.

This place was the best habachi we have ever had in our lives we loved it and the service was amazing and our chef was too

For starters we had a pile of ants at our table. Moved to another table and the waitress forgot to start our grill. Service was just terrible in my opinion. Food wasn't good either. Wouldn't ever go back!

Took FOREVER to even get drinks let alone food. Had us sitting at the table for an hour. Pretty sure they did that just to wait for more people to walk in. Which I get but to have us wait an hour at our table was a little ridiculous. As well as no free refills, never heard of that for a sit down restaurant... but will definitely not return or recommend

Only hibachi I will ever eat it's so sad to see people give it bad reviews based off appearances then say the food was delicious, I've never had a bad experience

Yamato's has good food depending on who cooks it. The customer service is horrible and always has been. Mainly due to the owner, the daughters aren't mean like their mom. I understand sometimes you have horrible customers but they treat everyone as if they are a horrible customer. I mean sometimes you will get a very nice server and there are about two nice chefs. Hector is one of them. They said business is slow and I can honestly see why. They charge for everything even the air you breathe and skimp on what they do charge for. For example, an extra sauce is a dollar and they don't fill the small container up even halfway. Also, the place could use some major updates. All this to say if they focused on providing a great customer experience ( they can be mean and rude) , updated the building, and stopped being so greedy they could possibly get some new steady business. There is too much competition now for them to continue with horrible service. I give 2.5 stars solely off of food.

So my wife and I, got two teriyaki chicken dinners. That's it. Nothing extra. Nothing fancy, nothing. Else. Tell me why I walk into this joint and it literally looks abandoned, dilapidated. Looks like it hasn't been renovated in decades. And these two (both the same thing) dinners, Cost me $45.60. I don't get it??? Good food though. Just way over priced for some simple rice and chicken....
