The food is excellent prepared by entertaining and friendly chefs. This is a great place to take the whole family for an enjoyable experience. The service is very good. Make reservations at least a few days in advance because time slots fill up quickly. The food is very fresh and the portions are large. We all usually have enough for the next ...

I've been to Yamato twice. It's one of kind experience. The first time we went was awesome and unforgettable! The second time we went it was only decent and made us decide that we probably won't ever go back. The service is exceptional and the chef is always fun, but this time our waitress was unfriendly and the chef got the orders ...

This is absolutely the best restaurant I have ever been to in my life! The food is excellent! The service is great! We had to wait a little while because they were so busy though. And also they were a little bit pricey, but well worth it! Go there the next time you are in Myrtle! You won't regret it!

I loved the food in general. There was so much food, i could go all day with out eating. The service was amazing, you saw everything cooked in front of your eyes. The chefs are hilarious.

We love Yamato and everything about it!
We are in Myrtle Beach at least twice a year and it is always the first place and the last place we go to eat!!!
Can't get enough of it!!! Highly recommend that you make reservations way in advance!!!

Having eaten at several similar establishment (Benihana restaurants and the original Gasho house which had each wooden log imported from Japan), the Yamato restaurant was somewhat of an "also ran". We just ate there this past weekend (4/7/2006) while in Myrtle Beach, SC. The food was very good and the price for what you received was ...

Everything about it is great. It's a nice to take children they really entertain them. The food is excellent and you get so much. It gets really busy in the summer months so it is best to have a reservation weeks in advance. I like to sit near the windows to look out over the water. Overall it's awesome.

My husband and I visited Yamato on Thursday, August 18th. We were very disappointed with our experience both with the cook and the check out process.
We had tickets for a 9:00 show just down the street and figured we had plenty of time to eat and make it to the show. We have eaten at many other Japanese Steakhouses in the past, and ...
