Best Japanese Restaurant in Southern Indiana. If I could recommend any dish it would be the Salmon Bento Box it is AMAZING. Ming, the owner and Operator, is an amazing person who puts pride into every dish. Food also comes out super fast!! read more

I was a little nervous walking in because the curb appeal is not the best. The inside of the restaurant needs to be updated. But the food is really good. The fried potstickers were tasty. The maki rolls we ordered were good. The salad with ginger dressing is simple but flavorful dressing. The noodle bowl I ordered with chicken was huge and packed with veggies and chicken. Yummy. I saw a lot of to go orders. Friendly service and very reasonable prices. read more

Yamato - Lunch I traded the soup for an extra salad and the sushi roll for an extra spring roll - Japanese Near Me - Madison, Indiana

My sever was very young and uninformed about the menu and not too attentive. The food was ok not good or bad but my sushi was not good at all. Looked like when I tried a diy sushi night. Along with that they gave me the wrong roll and refused to fix it. They told me i ordered something that I'm allergic to lol. Wouldn't ever go back. Usually go to Nikimura and it's 11/10 but wanted to try something new. read more

I got the sashimi deluxe for takeout - it was excellent. While the price has gone up a bit from what the online menu shows, at $24.00 it was a great value. The meal includes a salad and choice of miso or or onion soup. The fish was fresh and the rice was perfect. read more

Wow. My fiancé and I stopped in to check this place out. I'm not going to lie, we were a little hesitant because it looks old/sketchy from the outside but it was pretty nice when we went in. The food was VERY GOOD. We are so glad we didn't pass them up. My sushi was very fresh and delicious. The prices here were very reasonable as well. If you haven't checked them out you better! read more

Yamato - Rainbow roll, Rangoon's, and noodles - Japanese Near Me - Madison, Indiana

It was better when they first opened. Prices are good. If you're looking for something different, then the rest of Madison, give it a shot.

With Madison being a small town, it is refreshing to see a place like Yamato. You would not guess based on the outside that the inside is a nice, rather sophisticated decór. A friend goes there frequently for lunch and suggested I try it. While the menu may not be as robust as what you would find in larger markets/cities, what you do get are ample size portions, well made, and nicely displayed on the served dishes. I most recently tried a crunch munch roll...delicious, and a spicy tuna roll, which was just the right amount of heat. Prices are comparable to places in Louisville. I've been a handful of times now and each time the staff have been friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about items on the menu. read more

Yamato - Japanese Near Me - Madison, Indiana

It doesn't have much ambiance but the staff are wonderful. The sashimi was very good, unexpectedly so. But I advise against getting rolls with fried components. I don't know whether the grease was old, it was just fried too long or perhaps both but the fried soft shell crab roll was unappealing. read more

Wow! When I pulled into the parking lot, I thought hmmmm doesn't look very appetizing. But when I walked in I was totally taken back, very clean very nice. Now let's get to the good stuff. I ordered the hibachi with the fillet friend of mine he ordered the sushi. The hibachi was absolutely delicious amazing my steak was cooked perfectly. My friend said his sushi was the freshest fish that he had ever had in sushi and he lives on the East Coast. This place is just a little hole in the wall that we walk in it's like stepping into old Japan. I'd highly recommend eating here read more

Prices have gone up and online menu has not been updated. Very disappointed to be charged so heavily for such small portions

Ordered takeout and it was great. My 11yr old loves the sushi! Always friendly and very helpful.

Overpriced, mediocre sushi. Sadly this is the only sushi place in Madison, and with that they feel the need to have very high prices and small portions. The sushi was okay, I recommend making the drive and going to Rikishi in Crestwood, so worth it! I got two rolls and it ended up costing me like 18$. No, thank you! read more

We tried 3 sushi rolls. They were all 3 decent. Our dinner combinations were disappointing. The service was even worse. Our waitress took our order and did not return until our meal was over. read more

Not usually a complainer, but this was a terrible experience and ashamed to have them in my hometown. Server was uninformed about the menu, all the sushi was the the same room temp. Place was empty on a Sat eve and couldn't get the server to check in regularly. Cashier didn't know how to run credit card machine. Only item I felt was cooked well was the spicy shrimp appetizer and the decor was nice. Will not return though. read more

This place is great. Well rolled sushi not to much rice. Great flavours with everything we had and then stayed open for us.

I've been here multiple times since they opened and have always loved it. But their service is going downhill quickly. I ordered a steal bento box and a sushi roll and waited over 30 mins, I would understand if it was busy but nobody else was here and it was 1:30 on a Friday. They use to be super quick with good food but now their food is hit or miss and they take forever and you don't get as big of portions as you use to. read more

Been a couple of years since we've been here b4 today. Unwrapped silverware in napkin and it was dirty inside. Also the soy sauce bottle was sticky dirty. Got one from another table. It was not clean either. Makes one wonder what the back of house looks like. Won't be back. Again soon. read more

We are a military family and well traveled. We were in town for the Chautauqua Festival. The sushi was some of the best I've ever had. The prices were reasonable. We paid less than $50 for two adults and two children. read more

Have been around 10 times and never left disappointing. Mainly ordered Hibachi though, not a big Sushi fan but did have spring rolls that were good. They used to cook where you could see them, but last time I was there they stopped doing that. read more

Their Sushi is yummy! The Bento boxes are great. Prices are reasonable. Very relaxed atmosphere. Love this place!!

This place brings a nice taste of something different to our little old town. Don't let it's odd location fool you; It's definitely a diamond in the rough here. I've received excellent service from whom I believe to be the restaurant manager every time I've been here. Portions are large for a fair price and everything is absolutely delicious. There are almost always specials available as well. read more

Terrible sushi. I lived in Japan for years and know what shushi should taste like and this is not it. I guess if I want great tasting sushi I need to go to Fresh Cuts in Hanover. Prices are higher but worth it. Server was terrible. They were not busy but our server only came to bring the food and never checked on us to see if we needed a refill on our drinks. I even had to find her to get the check to pay. read more
