Food was good and the waitress was attentive, but the atmosphere was decidedly that of a cheap fast food restaurant (without the fast service). The main entree arrived before the appetizer
But the worst part was that rather than subtle Japanese background music, the local pop radio station was blaring over fuzzy/crackly speakers. If you like loud distorted pop music with your Japanese cuisine, then this nay be the place for you.
As for me, I won't be back.

I live in the Corbin area and have grown up coming here and loved it, but here the past few months it's went completely down hill. The food may still be okay but the service is absolutely terrible. Me and my girlfriend went there tonight and got told to pick our seats. Upon doing so, all the tables were dirty so we didn't know where to go. A waitress ended up cleaning off a booth for us so we sat and waited for about 15 minutes without drinks or speaking to a waiter. Another couple came in, got seated at a booth which also had to be wiped off, and immediately got their drinks and order

Used to be a really good little place, not sure what happened. This most recent trip the hibachi was cold, ‘hot’ sake was cold and only halfway filled, sushi was super fishy tasting. Let management know as politely as possible, but they didn’t care. Sad. We’ll make the trip to Masa Hibachi in London next time.

The staff was friendly and quick with our meals! I only have one complaint and that is the food could have been prepared a little better. Filet mignon is an expensive cut of meat and its almost a crime to cook it into a chewy brick. Scallops were also overdone (I'm being polite, they were honestly a weapon). But I can't bring myself to take the rating any lower because the staff was very friendly and we had a cozy atmosphere

Definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area! The wait times can be a bit long at times but it's well worth the wait. Their sushi always tastes fresh and you get quite the portion size for what you pay. If you get the chance to stop by, try their sushi burritos. They're inexpensive and the taste is to die for.

I've put off reviewing this place because I really hate giving bad reviews. That being said, I use this medium to decide places to visit based on realistic reviews.
Advertised as a Japanese restaurant, it really is not. The menu items are heavy on fried rice which I get considering my steamed rice was grossly over cooked to the point I couldn't eat it - and it was an enormous portion. I ordered a bento box and the fried items seemed to come straight from a box to the fryer. (I don't know this for a fact, just tasted that way.) The sashimi wasn't particularly fresh, though

Pretty good, especially considering it's probably the only sushi in Corbin. Three stars only because the sushi/sashimi selection was pretty basic.
I ordered tuna sashimi (nice and cold -good cut), Green Dragon (delicious with fresh avocado), Chilli Roll (not spicy but simple easy roll) and the Cupid roll (Awesome! Spicy lots of flavor and made with soy paper vs. typical nori). I would eat here again. The habachi is done at one flat top grill and each table orders from the menu unlike your typical seating around the habachi grill.

!!!!!VEGETARIANS BEWARE!!!!!
This restaurant's menu is deceiving for vegetarians. A traditionally vegetarian soup is made with beef broth and there is no type of warning. Also, My fiancé and I ordered a garden salad each. It is by far one of the worst salads I've had. It tasted like a bagged salad which had been frozen and then thawed before being served. Furthermore, the salad arrived with yum-yum sauce already on it despite there being a bottle on the table which caused my already disappointed salad more so. Worst of all, my vegetable soba had chicken in it!!! I am appalled and will

My first experience dining here. My nephew chose Yamatos after his grade school award ceremony. It was truly a momentous occasion because my mother, brother, sister, and nephew and myself were all together for the first time in many years. We were greeted and seated quickly. The decor was suiting and definitely unique. Our drink orders were taken as we browsed the lunch menu and enjoyed the chat with our waiter, Sean. Salads were delivered and looked great. Tasted fantastic with their delectable and unique sweet ginger-like dressing that is made in-house. Entrees were delivered and looked amazing

This place can be a good dinning experience. The sauce that they offer is very tasty and unique and set out at the table for your convince. That being said, this place can not cook a rare, medium rare, medium, or even a medium well steak to save their life. The last 3-4 times I have visited I have specifically and clearly ordered my steak rare, yet it has come back well done every time and they have made no effort to correct their mistake.
