Not sure whether I should post here to or not... but it is the same location. I believe they have recently changed their name to dumpling house. Or maybe they have recently changed from dumpling house to Yamato sushi house. I'm not sure which. Their sign out front says dumpling house and their menu still says Yamato sushi house. Identity crisis, no? We went in thinking this was dumpling house so we ordered dumplings. I was craving some soup, dumplings, and shrimp hao gaos. At around 13 bucks each, they were quite good. And just because I don't quite feel full with having just dumplings for dinner, we also ordered their fried rice noodles. The pictures really don't do justice for this amazing dish. They don't have fried rice on their menu, but this noodle dish tasted just like fried rice And smelled like it too. Hubby and I were really pleasantly surprised. We added a chicken to the dish, but if coming back, I will stay with just a noodles without adding protein. Our server who was Chinese, spoke very fast, and I had a hard time understanding everything he was trying to explain. But he was very eager, very nice, and very excited about us trying different foods. As it was Chinese New Year's week when we went in, he told us to try their special New Year's soup and that he was really really good. In fact, he was saying this to everyone who came in. The soup was about $13, but not big like a bowl of pho. It came in the medium size bowl, clear broth, with a bunch of mini dumplings inside. It's really not something that I would normally order, especially after ordering two orders of dumplings, but I must say the taste was pretty good. Would I have it again? I will have to remember not to get pushed over by the nice enthusiastic server. Since we didn't know, this was a sushi place going in. I had no sushi and don't necessarily think I will. I hope they figure out their identity and stick to one thing. So far, I am happy with their dumplings and their fried rice noodle. read more

Good experience for dining. There drinks are amazing, I love their House special fish ball.

I ordered sushi for delivery and am very dissatisfied. The salad looks a day old and the dressing looks like it was used...only a quarter cup fill and just doesn't look right. I also asked for extra soy sauce...and they gave me none. The sushi..not good either, it's definitely not fresh. read more

My husband and I wanted to try something out of our normal weekly dinner dine-ins and after searching for a restaurant, we came across Yamato Sushi House on Bluemound. It is tucked away in the back corner of a small plaza. The layout was quite nice and very roomy. We were the only customers in the restaurant and later came another individual towards the end of our meal, so it was extremely quiet. There wasn't any music or anything so that made it even more quiet. When we entered, we weren't greeted. The male who (I assume) worked the front desk came and just stared at us. I asked for a table for two. We were seated at the very first booth - he handed us the menu and didn't go over anything with us at all. (It was our first time there so we weren't sure if there were any specials, etc.) Along with the menu, there were sheets of paper and after taking a look at the paper, it appears they offer "All You Can Eat Sushi". After a good five minutes the gentleman came back and mumbled some words - which I assumed he had asked what we wanted to drink. With a blank look on our faces, we just asked for water. After receiving our waters, we asked if we could order. Without any words, he brought out his notepad and took our order (Sushi for two and a Volcano Roll). The food didn't take long to get to us since we were the only customers there. However, while eating; we heard a tiny clipping noise and noticed that the gentleman was sitting behind the front desk/bar clipping his nails. It was quite unpleasant, unsanitary and unprofessional. Our food was GREAT! The sushi rice was cooked perfectly - we've been to places that had either too hard or old rice and it just ruins the whole point of sushi. So good job on the food! The only thing that really confused us was that our sushi for two entree did not come with soup and salad like most restaurants. The gentleman never came back to ask how we were doing so we couldn't ask him if we were missing those. Unfortunately, we have decided it is not worth our return since the service was very unwelcoming and mind you, the NAIL CLIPPING was the biggest issue of our first-time dining there. The place seemed to be semi-maintained. There were stains on the wall and tables were a bit sticky - and don't forget the little fruit flies that kept bothering us as well. We quickly ate, paid and left. If the staff/s had better manners and professionalism, I think this place would go far. It all makes sense as to why we were the only customers during the normal dinner rush.  One star for good food. read more

We have dined here several times. The sushi here is amazing. You really cannot go wrong with what to order. Appetizers and desserts are also delicious. Good portion sizes even though it is all you can eat. They definitely do not skimp on the quality. The Milwaukee roll is amazing. That was our favorite. Dynamite roll was also one we would order again. Gyoza was very good. Service was great. Overall a little pricey, but worth it! Our rating is a 8.4/10 5/5 yelp stars. Would we return? Yes! We have several times. read more

I ordered carry out from here because I was craving sushi. I tried the Haru Maki spring rolls, stuffed with crab and vegetables. They were fine, but it could honestly have been anything inside the roll. They were non-de script. I also ordered a sweet potato roll and it suffered from the transit time. They were not crispy or distinct. The futomaki was good, well balanced with freshness and crunch. The Dynamite Roll was the star of the show - crab meat, avocado, crunch, spicy mayonnaise topped with lobster. It was fresh, rich and savory with plenty of crunch. I'd eat this any day, happily. Overall, this was a mixed bag, but most items were fine. They just didn't knock my socks off. read more

TLDR: Hands down the best AYCE sushi I have been to (and I have been to a lot of them and spent way too much money on). I'm asian and I love sushi, so trust me when I say their sushi is good. Just go there already. I came here on a weeknight at around 430pm for dinner, so the place was quiet and the service was adequate. Our water was always full. We ordered way too many rolls and I honestly don't remember which one is which. My go-to is always some sort of mango roll, so you will almost definitely see them in my pictures. Everything we got was delicious, fresh, and giant (side note, their fillings/ stuffing to rice ratio was decent, they don't try to fill you up by overdoing the rice and giving you little fillings). The sashimi was fresh and we just kept ordering more. Would I come back again? My cousin lives in Milwaukee, and I would make any excuse to drive 6 hours to go to Milwaukee, so I can go to Yamato again. Yamato, keep it up please! read more

Yamato is the favorite spot within our friend group for celebratory meals or special events. It's got the pretty typical all you can eat set up; Mark all the maki, nagiri or sashimi you want on a sheet (along with other hot entrees and appetizers you'd like), hand the sheet to your server, and get ready to eat as much as you can. What stands out here, though, is the surprising quality of all the sushi. I'm not naive when it comes to sushi places. You usually get what you pay for. Here, though, I was pleasantly surprised by how well made the rolls we ordered were. The sashimi, especially, was a nice step up from other all you can eat joints (be sure to try the fresh scallop). It's always tasted great and we have yet to be disappointed. Good rice, decent sesfood, fair price. Reference the full menu when filling out your sheet if it's your first time, so that you can get a better idea of what's actually in the rolls. Some of our favorites: Include the Shogun, Amazing, and Phoenix rolls. Don't skip the appetizers either. The gyoza and edamame are always a part of our first order here. Dessert is alright, but we focus on the fish, typically. It's a fair compromise of quantity and quality, and you can do a lot worse for a lot more money. I've never seen it overly busy, either, so that's always a positive, I guess - ample parking in the main lot. Looking for an excuse to celebrate and wind up out here again. read more

SUSHI BOAT!!! Back home for the holidays and took two of my best friends out for lunch. Decided on Yamato because it was close to the gym after a good workout and offered all you can eat from the lunch menu. I was really surprised and pleased to see a variety of specialty rolls as well as entrées and appetizers you could order with no additional cost and included with all you can eat. The service was great. Although they spoke broken English everything came out perfect and I had no problems with speed or refills so that was refreshing. The seafood was great for Midwest. I'm originally from Arizona where the seafood is a little fresher and can taste the difference slightly. The all you can eat is the Way to go, we demolishEd about 20 different rolls all for $60 read more

Yamato Sushi House - Sushi Boat - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elm Grove, Wisconsin

We go there all the time for all you can eat sushi.. last time we visited, it was around $25 a person.. if you can eat a lot of sushi and rolls, this is a great deal. They also have regular menu prices for people who just want to order a few items at regular price. The sushi itself isn't the best I've had locally.. some of the pieces are kind of small, but when it's all you can eat, you can always order more. The nice thing about the AYCE is it doesn't just include sushi and rolls, but also salads, soups, and dessert items. Good stuff. read more

What a bummer. The only thing they had going for them was that the sushi was all you can eat. With that gone the sushi isn't worth the price at all. Will not be back unless all you can eat returns, good luck. read more

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! I've been here quite a few times and absolutely love the food plus $17 for all you can eat isn't too bad. I've always been seated right away and the waiter/waitress has always been rather quick at coming over. Maybe a time or two they took a little longer but nothing that was a big deal. I think other people have mentioned with the all you can eat that they don't always give you what you ordered and that it very true. As an example, one of my favorites, the bluemound roll, is supposed to be 8 pieces but I usually only get 6. I've never said anything because it's all you can eat, I could order another roll if I wanted to or there's plenty of other things to try. The miso soup is great, along with the green salad and gyoza. I highly recommend trying all 3 if you haven't, you won't be disappointed. I would recommend this place to anyone that loves sushi and enjoys trying different things. read more

The dumplings and sushi was awesome!! The service was very attentive and great and explaining the menu!

For an AYCE sushi place, this is amazing value for your money. Lunch is ~$17, and you get all kinds of specialty rolls, apps, and a couple dessert options. Try all the specialty rolls! The app portions are tiny, so if you want normal portions order a few. Obviously the fish isn't great quality (what do you expect) but honestly the variety is great and for $17, it doesn't get much better. read more

All you can eat sushi is no longer on the menu, so if you're looking for that, head elsewhere. They have replaced all you can eat sushi with dumpling house style buns. The buns look yummy but I can't say I tried them. Service was par for the course for this type of establishment. Sushi was mediocre. Tamago was actually still partially frozen when it arrived at the table. I get that it's Thursday for lunch but at least fully thaw my egg before you give it to me. At least they're using less rice now that it's not all you can eat. Sushi rolls were buy two get one. Unless they're running a deal don't bother it's not worth the price. read more

My server: To drink? Me: A Manhattan, please. Him: Hot Sake? Me: No, Manhattan. Him: Oh, okay. So, hot sake? Me: No, no. Man-HAT-tan. (I was sounding out the world as I pointed to a picture on the drink menu.) Him: Oh! Oh, okay. A few minutes later my drink arrived. It was hot sake. Being a non-confrontational sort of person, I decided to at least try the drink, to see if perhaps I would like it. I did not. It tasted the way old, sweaty socks smell. My friends laughed at my misfortune. They also flagged down the server to have my drink corrected. Confused, the server tried to suss-out what was wrong. Five minutes in we gave up trying and I drank water the rest of the night. Fast forward several months, to earlier this week, when I decided to try again (the restaurant, not the saki). Not wanting a repeat fiasco, I skipped the drink altogether this time. Instead, I ordered shumai and two sushi rolls. All were delicious. Still feeling a bit peckish, I ordered a dessert of tempura fried banana. It arrived quickly and I gobbled down a slice with lots of chocolate sauce dribbled on top. But something was odd about that bite. Not enough sugar? No, not that, but there was an odd funk about it. Not sure what to think, I opened up one of the three remaining slices of "banana" and immediately I saw the problem: It was fish. Tempura fried fish topped with a lovely chocolate sauce. I felt as though I would vomit, but instead forced my stomach back down into my abdomen where it belongs. I opened the other slices and found that indeed all were fish. Having already paid my bill (it is one price for AYCE, after all), I quickly left. I won't be back again. read more

While I do not give out too many 5 stars anymore I had a really hard time trying to think of a reason why Yamato didn't deserve it. Greeted and seated right away for a lunch order. Everything you need is at the table including order forms and a large menu mostly for reference if you're ordering the AYCE sushi and this is a fantastic deal $17.95. Great quality sushi , presentation and taste a definite 5 stars. I will say be careful it is easy to over order and there is a .50 charge for anything you leave behind on the plate. The AYCE isn't only sushi, they offer apps, soups and desert. I went all in on the sushi. The server was very nice and prompt on checking in with me during my meal. This is a short and sweet review because it was an outstanding experience and I will be sure to return. read more

Yamato is now open for dine in, however please note that they still do take out and we're one of the few restaurants in the area that were completely shut down and did a great job with taking the COVID situation seriously. This place is the best all you can eat sushi restaurant in the greater Milwaukee area. They have a vast array of sushi, nigiri and roll selection along with side dishes, appetizers, rice/noodle dishes and ice cream. For the price I highly recommend this place. read more

Not planning on coming back here. Ordered a grey goose and tonic and when they brought it to me, it was completely something else. I questioned it and they said that they ran out of tonic. Smdh, so they created something else? ! Had the all you can eat sushi. Miso soup was cold! They said that it was bc they forgot to turn the warmer on. Order seafood soup, it was 1 shrimp and all onions and celery, cold. Ordered sashimi, and was missing a few. I asked about it and they said they ran out. Well, thanks for letting me know. Not returning. Sushi was nothing to brag about. read more

I'm a hearty eater (read: gluttonous slob), so the AYCE sushi is a really good deal for me. I've been there several times and always thoroughly enjoy my experience.

We have been going to this sushi place for years. The all you can eat sushi takes a long time when we are there. We often order a few rolls at a time just so that we don't have to wait for the servers to come around and ask if we want more and then wait even longer for them to come out. We only have 2 rounds of sushi before we decided to call it quits and leave because it was taking so long. The sushi overall is great, but the wait for the all you can eat, not so much. They have also raised their prices recently on the menu. But this is to be expected with all the other restaurants following suit in light of the pandemic. We usually order plain California rolls when we don't do the all you can eat. We also love the shrimp tempura and the sweet potato roll are some of our favorite classics. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are very nice, despite the slow kitchen service during all you can eat. This is a staple for us, especially because it is near our house so we definately will be going back! Pictured is the California roll with cream cheese added. read more

For a place that has all-you-can-eat sushi, I love coming here. It takes a bit to get things out but once you start eating, you completely forget the wait. I really enjoy eating here for sushi. The servers are very nice but don't speak great English so be prepared for some language barriers. I have never have any issues with communicating. Everything comes out exactly how it should be and it's great tasting. The system is pretty easy: write what you want down on the sheet of paper (I recommend writing your 'round 1' stuff on one sheet and then keeping the rest for rounds 2/3/4) and then keep a menu as well. The servers are so sweet and they check in all the time about how the food is and if you need anything. It's worth a try if you like AYCE sushi! read more

Horrifying is the best word to describe our dinning experience. My wife has allergies to dairy and egg, and after being assured in broken English (which is an understatement) the had no food with dairy or eggs, she proceeded to read a menu that was filled with items that contained cream cheese and other dairy and egg ingredients. The service was nonexistent and slow and unable to communicate, the set plates of food on the table and ran away, when asking what the dishes were, they responded by asking if we wanted to order more. When I asked for plates and soy sauce, the thought I wanted to order soup, which by the way my wife ordered and never got. When I asked for the check they filled our water glasses. Everything took forever, and the food was ok at best. The table next to us walked out in disgust with the bad service. Next time I will listen to my wife and we will go to Fujiyams. read more

Service was great! Eager to please, attentive, and I could tell he really cared about our experience. Soup dumplings are amazing, even better than the only other place I think in the great milwaukee area you can find. Fried rice was super good, love that they use a lot of egg. We will be back to order those two items! read more

The food was fresh, hot and service was fast and personable...The waitress was very attentive to our needs...It was a great experience to have...So, if you, like sushi, go here..

Visited this place finally after months and months of visiting the Target across the street and thinking "Huh, we should really get sushi here sometime!" It was pretty good! The food was really the best part, super fresh and very nicely presented. Delicious. I kept wanting more! Luckily, it's an all-you-can-eat style sushi house. I actually chose to order a la carte since I didn't think I could eat that much, but I found myself wishing I had done the all-you-can-eat. The service is a bit brusque, and I definitely felt like a stupid white person in there. I think when I placed my second order, as well, that they brought me two pieces of salmon nigiri instead of three pieces of tuna nigiri, but oh well. They were still good. They are not used to being asked for anything off-menu - example, one of my dining companions asked for a vodka with soda water and the server seemed pretty flummoxed by this. They have a full bar but no trained bartender, it seems like, so stick to what is listed on the menu unless you want to have to explain what you are asking for. Once you figure out how to communicate with the staff in the best manner, things run more smoothly and the food is excellent. I'd totally come back, but want to warn folks what to expect. read more

I have eaten here multiple times. Usually the service is below average but the food is pretty good so I come back. This past time was really bad; service was horrible. Only one server/host on and he was wearing a headphone the whole time. There was only one sushi chef which made waiting time for sushi really long. We waiting almost an hour for our second plate of sushi. If the restaurant was very busy it may be more understandable, but this was on a Tuesday night and it wasn't all that busy. read more

All you can eat sushi! BAM! Dear Yamato sushi house, I understand completely if you never want to see my face or my family again as I think we depleted your supply of fish for the week. But I hate break it to you: I will be back. I mean, come on. You guys put on the greatest all you can eat menu I have seen. When you give me the ability to order countless amounts of appetizers, tempura, hibachi grill, sushi, sashimi, maki rolls, chocolate fried bananas, and ice cream for only $20...well, I'm gonna order by the truck load. I know you didn't think it was possible that a person with my frame could put that mountain of food away. Well, you thought wrong. But I just wanted to apologize for having an unbelievable time stuffing my face and eating your whole kitchen of food. I'll be back once I've digested it all and look forward to it. Sincerely, Dan P.s. I know you brought that hibachi out last and made the chicken dry on purpose because you didn't think I could finish it. But bam! Gone! No $0.25 charge per un-eaten item for this boy! read more

Sushi is good. Service is horrible. Some of the dishes we ordered never came out. We asked for ginger, didn't get it. Not sure if the waitress knew or understood English or was just lazy. We finally got it from the other waiter, right away. The waitress did not care to get our ice cream. Had to request it a second time from the waiter who again went and got it immediately. Never again. read more

Whether you ate sushi for a long time now or its your first time, this is a great place to start out for sushi. Or if you just don't like seafood, you can order some other stuff as well. Since it is ACYE, don't go in expecting gourmet level food, but for ACYE, I felt the food quality was up to my expectations. I highly recommend the Tamago Sushi if there's anyone in your party who doesn't like fish but still wanna enjoy eating sushi. Place was nice and clean, service was good. I do agree with some other users that it does feel a little understaffed at times, but I still feel the service i got was good. There's also a Hot Pot options as well, I didn't try it this time, but I do wanna go back just to try it out. read more

Went in for lunch with eyes bigger than our stomachs after seeing that we could have all you can eat sushi!!! I have been here multiple other times while they were under different names. My experience this time was better than the previous, which were also pleasant. Decided I did not want to be a gutton and kept things rational with 3 rolls and a Kirin Light Beer. NOTE: The All-You-Can-Eat special was $22.50 per person If I recall. So for us it was more worth while to eat a-la-carte. When my food came out, the presentation was fantastic. The sushi was beautifully laid out on the white plate. My wifes was also amazing. Aside from presentation, the sushi tasted fantastic. The price was even better than the competition locally. I WILL be going back. I'll probably stop in for lunch in the next two weeks. read more

WILL NOT BE BACK AGAIN! First off didn't receive everything we ordered. Sashimi came out room temperature... Edamame was served cold. Wait staff didn't pay attention to the guests. Manager was rude when trying to fix the issues. Better off going to one of the other ayce places in mke. read more

$22.95 for all you can eat sushi dinner. It looks expensive, but your order quickly adds up and far surpasses what the price indicates. For example, you get your maximum of 30 pieces of sashimi and bam it's already worth it. And then you go ahead and try every single appetizer, a few entrees, a few specialty rolls, and the desserts 5 times over. This is when the staff starts to get very angry with you and stops coming to serve you. But you go back for more anyway. Why? Because you paid for unlimited Japanese food and unlimited Japanese food you will get. Aside from being unlimited, the food here is not good. The rolls have too much rice and barely any fish, while most of the other dishes are pretty bland. But the fact that you can get all of it again and again is what draws people in. The down side? They charge you per piece of sushi you don't finish. What was once a lovely dinner out quickly turns into survival of the fittest. No roll left behind. Also the service is not good (I mean understandable, I did rob them of their food). All in all this is a great place to stuff your face with all things Japanese for a reasonable price. Try all the apps (harumaki and seaweed salad were the best IMHO), get your money's worth with the sashimi, and hit it home with the mochi balls. However if you're expecting really good Japanese food, this is not the place. read more
