Yamato's was packed on a Friday night and we had to wait for almost an hour just to be seated. Boy was it worth it though! The food was delicious especially the spicy tuna rolls. My mouth is watering even as I write this. Also you wouldn't expect the steaks to be good at a Japanese restaurant but Yamato's does a pretty good NY Strip. I don't drink but I heard their cocktails are awesome. It you don't have much patience then I would suggest you not visit Yamato's on a weekend or else you may have to wait a while to be seated. As for me the food and experience is still worth the wait!
