I placed a takeout order, when I got to the restaurant I was charged more than what I was quoted online. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS ONLINE, nor did I receive a call/email that my price would change at the restaurant, which is a problem. This is a very deceptive practice, basically a bait and switch.

Great, non-chain, Japanese steak house. The best hand rolled sushi in southern Illinois. The owner is the manager, head chef, and rolls all the sushi right at the front counter. Her children make up all of the rest of the staff. Great great food and atmosphere that remains remarkable and adorable.

My wife and I each ordered the Fillet Mignon meal. We both agreed the steak was very chewy and tough. The flavor was good but you can’t convince me that was fillet mignon. I never complain if you look at my reviews but this was not good.

The waiters are wonderful. The portions are good. This is the best fried rice ever! I love their sushi. This is my favorite place in Carbondale to go for a meal because it’s so delicious. It is seasoned well and reasonably priced! Highly recommended.

Honestly, they have good food, but it’s difficult not to feel ripped off. I don’t mean because sushi is expensive. I mean because they serve you fillers instead of what you ordered. If the roll includes salmon, you get some filler substance. I ordered a different roll without salmon and got the same substance. I’m done with this place. I wish it never reopened.

My niece and I were looking for a restaurant that had little to no wait times since it was the weekend. As soon as we arrived, we were seated. We usually order drinks for the table but they only had water and tea at the moment. The staff is very friendly and will check up on you to make sure everything is good. My only complaint is taste and quality. I ordered a sea scallop hibachi dinner with rice and veggies, they over salted my food. Their shumai is good and the rolls are decent. For myself, I’d rather spend the extra money and go to Fujiyama’s.

We thoroughly enjoy the food and atmosphere at Yamato every time we done in. Previously, I had always just ordered their hibachi style dinner combos, which are a great deal considering the quantity and quality of the food, but this last trip I decided to try one of their teriyaki bento box deals and loved it. The variety for the box was so nice and each portion was enjoyable. But my favorite part of the experience at Yamato is their miso so and their salad with the ginger dressing. Both are delicious every time and I especially enjoy the unique flavor and texture of the ginger dressing on the salad. Our service has always been good and friendly. Highly recommended local restaurant in Carbondale!

The service was spot on! The Food was Much better then I was told. MCH BETTER. This is a small restaurant with big ideas. If Yamato Steak House doesn’t grow into a larger building/expand I will be very surprised. The Sushi & lobster ragun (appetizer) was amazing.!

They seemed a bit short handed, but service was not held up much by it. In case you wondered they do not cook in front of you. I had the Yakiniku and chicken combo, which was thin sliced beef tips. I am not a fan of seeing Yakiniku on a menu without a description because it literally means grilled meat, so when people go different places, and don’t know that they are often confused by what arrives. Food was good, meat was OK, really like grilled veggies, and rice. Salad dressing was very nice didn’t get miso.
