Yamato Steak House

Very pleasantly surprised !   I regularly eat at Japanese Style Restaurants 3 to 4 times a month.  And while Yamato was my first time to try.  I was not disappointed.   I didn't have high expectations when we decided to try it. But I also have fairly high standards for all restaurants and Yamato exceeded all of them.   I tried several items and all were excellent.  The soup wasn't my cup of tea but I'm pretty picky on what I like in Japanese style soups.    This is a must try if you are ever in northeast Indiana

My daughter LOVES sushi. I on the other hand, can eat it but have never really enjoyed it...until now.

I lived in Okinawa, Japan for a year and had several weird raw fish/and octopus experiences that sorta freaked me out!  Well meaning Okinawan friends trying to get this (at that time) very inexperienced diner to try many of the local delicacies!

Yamato has grown on me. We have ordered takeout several times, and have eaten there twice. By sampling my daughter's sushi, in the privacy of my kitchen, I have come to appreciate it more. I am having strange cravings for pickled ginger and wasabi, which I could eat by itself!

The food has always been very fresh. The cold things are cold, and the hot menu items arrive hot. This is a big deal for me- and I am notorious for sending my food back to the kitchen to have it warmed up if needed. The service when dining at the restaurant is good.

I have become partial to the dynamite roll, the volcano roll, and hot lover roll. Cucumber roll, Philadelphia roll, and cucumber avocado roll.

I also have had the udon noodles which were good. Chicken yakitori appetizer was nice.  We also had fried green tea ice cream for dessert. It was quite interesting!

I have not yet ordered from the hibachi menu, but I'm  certain it is only a matter of time.

Will most definitely be returning to Yamato!

If I could give a star rating based on what is available within a reasonable driving distance in the sushi category, a 5 star review it would be! Compared to other sushi establishments (Indy, even Noblesville) it's a 4 star review. Great service, good sushi, definitely a place my wife and I frequent and always enjoy. Mostly standard rolls with a few surprises which are quite delightful!
