I had very good company. I enjoyed watching the meal being cooked at my table. The food was well cooked and tasty. I had egg fried rice and chicken. The others had steak, scallops, and shrimp. Everyone liked what they ordered. The place was a little noisy. But otherwise I had an enjoyable evening.

The food is great. I love the food. The service however is the problem. They'll have you wait around 20 minutes before you even get started on your drinks, and this is even when the restaurant is empty.

First time eating at Yamato and I have to say it was great! We went for teppanyaki and I thought it was very cool that they had room for smaller groups. There were two of us and we had our own table and our own chef. He was very friendly and funny. He also made a heart for us which was awesome. I highly recommend it. It was a lot of fun!

A nice Japanese restaurant. It has all the staples. The sushi was good. And the hibachi grilled food was delicious. Would be good for the waiters to ask if its a persons first visit and explain a little. Overall a good place.

The three special rolls we ordered were too sweet- it really threw the flavor off. Also, one of them had some sort of fried rice patty that was impossible to chew. The place has really gone down hill since it was bought by the new owners.

First time patron. The hostess squeezed my party of 5 into a hibachi table, so that was a great start. The chef interacted with us and performed the fire trick for the kids a 2nd time bc it was such a hit the 1st time. Food was tasty, as was my honey bourbon cocktail. The hibiscus ice is a nice touch. I didnt learn until after we left the restaurant that my 2 girls didnt get their main order of shrimp for dinner, but we all had a shrimp app in the beginning. All in all, it was a good experience.

Good and clean Japanese style restaurant. Some plates, like mussels and dynamite were outstanding. But some plates (Caterpillar roll, scallop sushi) were a total miss by all means.

Awkward service. Two in our party, and seated quickly, but not even greeted for about 10 minutes. After being greeted, we ordered drinks, and then another waitress greeted us and asked for our drink order. The sushi(that I ordered as a meal) was brought out well in advance before my guest’s meal, so she had to watch me eat while waiting for her meal. The sushi was nothing to be impressed about. It didn’t have a fresh taste. You just don’t get what you pay for here.

Love the food and the service. Count it like 2 meals.....one while there and plenty of GREAT leftovers. I just wish other guests would give a little extra tip to the teppan chef who works so hard to entertain. New owners are present and appreciative.

My favorite restaurant. It is ALWAYS great!! Food and service are always excellent. Have to get a take home box and I enjoy it just as much the next day! On the more expensive side but worth every penny! I try to eat there once a month.

It was yummy and the staff was friendly. I'd say it's a definite yes for a birthday celebration! I got the chicken and it was pretty good, alittle on the dry side but I also tried their steak and that was great! Meal comes with soup, salad, rice, veggies and shrimp along with your entree, so plenty of food! Its loud, just a warning but it is fun and the noise is apart of the experience. Overall good place to visit if you're in Simi and slightly cheaper than their well know competitor

Good food, but: they brought the salad and the soup at the same time making it feel rushed. Then they started bringing the food cart to cook right away. What has happened to the way they would let you relax between courses. Before they would also serve the "shrimp appetizer", before the ordered entre, today it was all jumbled with the veggies and main course of meat. We came here instead of Musashi because dinner was served nicely. NOW THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. I'll just cook at home next time. OH! Also, there was no show! Not entertaining at all. They raise the prices, and give you less.

Walked in and sat right down. We've eaten at a lot of Japanese steakhouses and while this isn't on the same playing field as Benihana, it still does the trick. Tables are a little sticky but the service is really good and it's fun to bring the family here. Just don't expect fine dining.

The food is great and the staff are great too. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it needs a face lift. It is not inviting for someone who is not familiar with their food. It looks run down.

Our waiter was drunk and reeked of alcohol. The restaurant smelled like cleaner. I understand it was under new management but it was horrible. The Landing is down the street and better in every way. My wife had a tempura dinner and I had 2 rolls. Hers was ok mine were sub par. Sorry, won't go back.

Yamato is a friendlier version of Benihana in my opinion. I have been to both, and always prefer Yamato to the poor customer service of Benihana restaurants I have visited. Yamato also has a more spacious floor plan that keeps restaurant goers from feeling trapped halfway through your meal! The Teppanyaki chefs at Yamato have consistently taken time to not only keep the table lively, but to explain various cooking styles, sauces, and meats they are using or would suggest. When I had less time at my disposal I enjoyed sitting at the bar during happy hour, getting a beer, and ordering sushi rolls. Dave, the Wednesday evening bartender, always made sure I was fed & that my glass was never empty! Even at the busiest times Yamato is the best choice. More food, better prices, and better customer service! Lunch time here is the best deal.

My husband and I got sick from food poisoning after eating here. We started to feel bad the same night we had dinner and it was really bad next two days. It took us 5 days for recovery. We will fill out a report to the Public Heath. We should have just walked out after seeing how dirty the restroom is. It looks like was never cleaned. Seriously dirty.

OMG stay away I think our waitress was drunk. She took down everyone's drink order but mine and then walked away. After that she disappeared for 20 minutes until I got up to say something. Then the chef cam out and gave us all a dirty look leaving us feeling very awkward as he cooked out food. Never again.
