Went here on my husband's birthday and was really disappointed that this high-strung place offered zero birthday deals for it being a $$$ place. While it might be listed under $$, it was definitely in the $$$ price range. The waitress said we could pay $3 for a slice of birthday cake. Um, no thank you.
Every sushi place I've been to (expensive or not) offers a soup AND salad for entrees. At Yamato, everything is an added charge. A sad salad will be $3 extra.
Hubs got the Sushi and Sashimi Supreme and everything from the price, the presentation to the amount of food fell flat when compared to other Japanese establishments. Our local Azan Wok served up a gorgeous Sushi and Sashimi Supreme with many varieties of sushi and fish in a blue-lit martini glass. That entree was $30 and my simple beef entree was another $20. Yeesh!
I do like that there's ample parking since it's located in a small shopping area. The location isn't the great though because it's still rather far from the middle of Monroeville and Murrysville. Service was okay; nothing spectacular. We were the only customers on Sunday afternoon and it still took a long time for food to come out. Tried and done. Not coming back here and not recommending.
