Yamato Steak House - Shrimp Dinner - Japanese Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

Your normal hibachi place. Except the service was well above par and the prices were very reasonable. The food came out super quick fast. Maybe 10 other diners in the place. I don't think we waited more than 10-15 minutes for our entrees. The sushi was average. Dragon roll was pretty good but the Summer on Somerset was yuck. The preparation was ok, but I just didn't like the taste combination. Wife got filet and shrimp hibachi and she say it wasn't bad. A bit bland. Our server was on it. I'd go so far as to say she was exceptional. I'd go again. read more

After we had finished a round of National Parks/Monuments for the it was time to eat.. I looked it up, gave a call and asked if there was a gluten free sauce and yes was the answer. And looking at the prices?!? Absolutely we were going here!! We were sat very quickly, we arrived right as the dinner rush was being served. Our waitress came by and took our drink orders and food orders as well. She wrote down our restrictions and quickly repeated the order back, got the okay and put it into the kitchen. The open kitchen gave it a fun feeling watching these guys go to work on the food. The orders gave out pretty fast. We took our pictures and dove straight into the food. The rangoon was enjoyed by my dad and brother. The dinner entrees were all enjoyed. I cleaned my plate. The filet and the chicken were cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of sauce. I mixed the rice veggies and that was a hit for me. The unique combination of the chicken, spring rolls and fried rice in the Bento bowl was amazing for my brother. He enjoyed his leftovers. My parents enjoyed their leftovers too. One of my favorite places I have ever been. Phenomenal! read more

Great food and prices reasonable!! I would definitely recommend the place!! Food is really great for the price

This is my go to for Sommerset PA. Food was very good (as usual). Service was excellent. Can't beat the price for what you get. What I didn't understand was that the manager (?) decided to take his employees to task. In a very public way. In front of customers eating or waiting for their food. He first started with the person at the front counter. Then he proceeded to berate several kitchen employees. This was really loud and long (in Japanese I'm assuming) and made the atmosphere very uncomfortable. My server returned after the loud vocal abusiveness with my check and apologized for the delay - which wasn't her fault. The place itself is in need of a major renovation (it's getting worse and the heat was out last winter with one visit making it almost unbearable). Whoever owns the restaurant needs to seriously rethink what's going on here. I'd like to come back but now I'm not sure. read more

I eat here for lunch through the week and in the evening for supper a number of times a year and the food is always fresh and orders are consistent from one time to the next. Service is always great and the atmosphere is peaceful. read more

A nice surprise in this location. Service and food quality is above par considering the location. We had a good time here.

Very nice place, excellent food and great customer service! Prices are very reasonable and the portions are large. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, and very clean. It's a welcome addition to Somerset that I would definitely recommend! read more

they had great service and the food was delicious 10/10 recommend they also had not too long of a wait time would definitely go again

Yamato is one of my go-to favorites. Never disappointed! Sushi is always fresh and the yum-yum and ginger dressing is the best I've had in any Japanese restaurant! read more

Usually a great place to eat. But got my Yamato rolls, and they taste 2 days old...other food was great

While your dining choices in this area aren't plentiful, you don't have to sacrifice on having a great meal. The staff was hustling and food was served quickly. We had the hibachi steak and shrimp which was amazing. It was nice to have an option when traveling through to sit down and eat a nice meal. read more

Yamatos seem to be the go to place for Asian cuisine! Personally have never gotten a meal I didn't enjoy from here. Know younger generation seems to love it read more

Man o man - I need to get back to Yamato! Pre-Covid, when the open road was free and easy, Mom and I used to head on down to Somerset just for the pleasure. It's time we got there again. We are intermediate sushi lovers and everything we've gotten here has been divine! Even Dad, who used to preach "how do you know if you won't try it?" but who is extremely reluctant and stubborn with new foods himself ... he ordered from the hibachi and LOVED it. EVEN DAD!! It's time to get out, Laurel Highlands - and get out safely. Support and treasure what we have! read more

Sorry, but Somerset needs better restaurants. I'm only here for one night, so I am not an expert, but looking around at the various places, this one kind of stood out I was tempted by the Mex restaurants in the area, but wanted something lighter. I could not fathom going to the burger or pizza joints which seem to be the main thing here, and wanted some simple good food, that was not from a chain fast food restaurant. The fact that I read the previous reviews and people love this place is a testimony to the food wasteland that Somerset is. I had some delicious green tea. It tasted roasted with barley over tones, and the agedashi tofu was hot and crisp. I avoided the udon because they stir fry it, rather than served a with a bowl of hot dashi which would have suited cold temperatures and the first snow of the season. (!) the tempura bento box was meh, and the rice was stir fried. I think the food was prepared in a Chinese Way, so that explains a lot about this place. I guess its pan Asian in its own fashion. The server was delightful, prompt and the prices are fair. The food is probably the best in the area, which is not saying much.(again, sorry) At least if was filling. read more

We simply got takeout bento boxes but they were perfectly prepared and worth every penny. Rolls were wrapped perfectly, both steak and chicken were cooked to perfection- Somerset, you have a great Japanese steakhouse. read more

Overall, good experience. Easy vegan options here making it a regular place to eat out at now. FYI - The hibachi grill is not cooked at the table, but it was good. I was just expecting it to be like I have had at other Japanese steak houses where the chef comes out and everyone sits around the grill. Also, the miso soup could have been hotter. I had the vegetable hibachi add tofu and my wife had the Vegetable Udon meal. We both enjoyed the meal. read more

The sushi was delish, but the wait staff was horrific. Not a single person checked on me and after 15 min of waiting, I had to flag down another staff member to ask for the extra ginger I ordered. Another 20 min later, I had to flag down another member to get my check. If they weren't the only sushi within 60 miles of where I live, I would never return. When I paid at the front counter, at least 5 staff members (my server included) were all huddled around, engaging in private conversations, not working at all when customers were being completely ignored in the dining room. If I owned this restaurant, I would fire the manager, or at least send them on a course in management. read more

Stopped by here on a road trip. A nice oasis in the endless fast food joint on the turnpike. Good size portions and not to pricey. Will be out go to spot when we are taking a road trips through PA read more

The food is so fresh. The salad with the ginger dressing? I wish I could purchase that stuff by the GALLON! The crab rangoon is possibly my most fave appetizer and you can NEVER go wrong with the hibachi dinners...whichever combination you get. My husband gets the Imperial Dinner EVERYTIME. Great place all around...service, quality and price! read more

I absolutely love this place! My waitress, Emily, was fantastic, and a literal life saver. My husband and I were eating there for our 5 year anniversary, when he began choking on a sizable piece of sushi. I freaked out, yelling for someone to come to our aid. Emily rushed over and began performing the Heimlich, which made him able to stop choking. After thanking her, she told us it was merely in a day's work, and to enjoy the rest of our meal. I owe my husband's life to her, and we tipped a handsome 10%. read more

Ordered a To Go order. The worker read down thru the order perfectly when confirming the order. They forgot half of our order when we picked it up. They also got the two rolls wrong! When calling to say we got the wrong items they gave me attitude. Then when I went to pick up the order that they messed up, they made me pay for it again!! ZERO STARS! DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

Took our grandsons out tonight and had such a lovely time. Our waitress, Dawn, was fantastic as always. Simply divine. read more

Yamato Steak House - Teriyaki Steak Bento Box - Japanese Near Me - Somerset, Pennsylvania

This is one of the BEST Japanese restaurants I've ever been in and where my girlfriend and I went for our first date. We dine here weekly and on our anniversary, Yamato has a great atmosphere and open kitchen. The food is very affordable and amazing, it beats a mainstream Hibachi restaurant by far.. and the sushi is also very good. I have nothing bad to say, and I hope you choose to stop into Yamato if you're staying or passing through Somerset. read more
