Yamato used to be one of my favorite places but the latest visit was disappointing and unpleasant. We were the 2nd table fully seated during lunch time. We had to wait for a long time for the chef.. thank goodness none of us had to rush back to work. The chef had an odd sense of humor in a condescending way and cooked halfheartedly while chatting with only one customer and ignoring the five of us. The quality of the food has gone downhill while prices have gone up. The portion size got smaller as well. I wanted my sirloin medium and it was salty and well done to the point it was dry (luckily there were dipping sauces). The only saving grace was the waiter was very pleasant and attentive with a big smile all the time.
Not sure I will ever go back again.
