Best WLM Reviews
Very small serving size compared to others. Only 6 sweet carrots in one tray.
This place used to be good before. Will not be ordering again. I rather go to Saki Express in mount holly and that’s a pretty good drive to get there.
The food isn't bad, and it's really close to my house, but they're ridiculously and illogically stingy with substitutions. I don't care for sweet carrots, but they won't allow you to get a different, equally priced vegetable instead, or even extra rice. Other hibachi restaurants in Gastonia will happily allow this. For this reason, I don't really go here any more, nor do I strongly recommend it. Okay food, but subpar customer service.
I Did a call in for Hibachi chicken w/broccoli & order of spring rolls walked in and picked up my order . Soo good
Hands down, the absolute best place for hibachi. Know the owners personally and as well as the original owner even though he passed away, would love for them to build a place here in fayetteville. They would get soooo much buisness, i hate having to travel 3 hours to get it but soooooooo worth it.
My husband went to pick up at the drive through window for us. He ordered 4 teas but it being near closing time they ran out and we only got 3 and when the young man was trying to give him his money back the older lady acted like there was about to be a horrific problem, so he told the young man to just keep it. Then when he gets home with our food the spring rolls are burnt, and something is up off bad with the rice! It is definitely not a good night at Yamato's!
We eat here once every other month we have always enjoyed the food.. however this last visit gave us food poisoning Two of us had chicken, And I had the veggies plate . The two that had the chicken was extremely sick a few hours later... sucks this happened cuz we always liked the food. But lesson learned and won't be going back
**They charge your card twice and will not refund you!!** Worst experience I’ve had with this restaurant. I’ve been eating here since they opened and have never had an issue until yesterday (12-01-2023). I’ve read other reviews of this situation happening to people who have bought food here, saying to only pay with cash and not card, and I thought it was a bunch of croc because I’ve ALWAYS had great and quick customer service. All of our food was undercooked, no sanitary practices, and very rude and argumentative owners not seeming to want to correct the issue. They also tried to yank my receipt away from me so I wouldn’t have proof of them charging me twice. Needless to say, I will no longer be returning as a loyal customer.
It's always a pleasant experience going to Yamatos. The owner always interacts with the customers and he's super nice. Hate they don't have help to open inside, but it's still the best Japanese restaurant to eat at.
Definitely my go to when I want Japanese food.
I'd give them 10+ stars
