    Yamato Steakhouse
    Ty C.

    The Yamato is a small and quaint steakhouse and sushi bar. Their specialty seems to be their "yakitori," which are thinly-sliced sirloin beef tips. It's very good and appears paired with several other items on their menu. My date chose a shrimp and seafood dinner and it also was well-prepared and tasty. Several reviews say that their service is typically slow, but we had no problems with their speed. Granted, there were only three other couples in the restaurant, but the service was lightning fast. If anything, it was too fast, as the salad, soup, sushi and entrees all arrived within a couple minutes of each other. The decor was dated and not particularly exciting, but the wait-staff were kind and attentive. Our Asian waitress had a very thick accent, but was patient with us as we struggled to understand her. We bridged the communication gap just fine. It's a good place. Check it out.

    This is the salad that came with the hibachi.

    So this was interesting one. We took a big group up to Joe Wheeler to look around the park and…read morewere hungry for lunch before we went home. One in our party had been here before and recommended we stop here. This is a restaurant serving both Mexican and Japanese food, though I wouldn't call it fusion. Both are fairly Americanized Mexican and Japanese dishes (think chicken and cheese on rice, and hibachi with all manner of meats and "yum yum" sauce), but it's a large menu and it had something for everyone, so it was a good fit for our quite large group. We arrived not long after opening and so they were able to seat us without any trouble -- I believe there were 11 of us total. The restaurant is large and was somewhat dimly lit but inviting enough. The bathroom was tidy despite being a little stinky. There's a large bar toward the back and it looked like there was space for dancing or musical acts. Service was efficient and friendly and patient with several party members' special requests. They also handled our many separate checks with skill. Chips and salsa came right out. The salsa was actually a highlight for me; it was surprisingly tasty and flavorful with a tiny bit of heat. Better than the average Americanized Mexican food salsa. We got a mix of items, though I think we leaned more heavily Mexican dishes. I got the Pollo Lucy off their relatively affordable lunch special menu. It's your standard chicken, cheese dip, and rice, with bonus salsa verde offered in a small squirt bottle. Although this isn't my preferred "style" of Mexican food, this was fairly good for what it was, particularly the chicken. It had a pleasant texture and was well cooked and seasoned. The rice, unfortunately, was overcooked and quite mushy and flavorless. Fortunately, that's where the copious amount of cheese dip comes in handy, lol. I liked the salsa verde and shared it with another dining companion who needed a little more umph in the taco salad she ordered. No one really raved about the food but no one really complained, either, hence the so so rating. I do appreciate the accommodations they made to ensure the two younger kids in our party would have something they liked to eat (making a plain bean burrito, serving plain cheese dip over rice, etc). That was really nice of them. Again, not really my preferred "style" of Mexican OR Japanese food for that matter, but solid enough, especially given the relative dearth of options in the area.

    We stopped by here on whim because we were interested to see one restaurant serving Mexican and…read moreJapanese food. We weren't disappointed. The food was really good and the service was awesome. They brought chips and salsa to the table as most Mexican restaurants do. There weren't any Japanese appetizers but they do serve Japanese entrees. I had the Chili Relleno with rice and beans. My husband had the mixed vegetable Teriyaki. Both entrees were very good. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely eat here again
