The sushi chefs welcome their diners with
a friendly Japanese "hello" and never forget to thank
them as they depart. Though reputation has it that sushi
restaurants only cater to people craving raw fish, many
of the dishes are cooked. Examples include the tempura
chicken and salmon on the regular dinner menu, and everything
at the Teppan tables. In addition to the regular menu,
Yamato offers specials that vary from day to day. It's
a great place for the family and children have a nice
selection on their own kid's menu.
I enjoyed the Unagi (cooked fresh water eel), the Hawaiian
Roll (Eel, avocado, and cucumber surrounded with sticky
rice and seaweed), and a spicy tuna roll. All rolls
can be served as cut or hand rolls.
Yamato offers a variety of vegetarian dishes as well,
including tofu steaks and vegetable rolls. Feeling a
little daring for dessert? The Banana Tempura is delicious.
Served on its peel, smothered in chocolate sauce and
topped with a cherry, it is the perfect ending to a
great sushi meal.
Among the other available desserts is the mochi ice
cream and ice cream tempura. For those diners who have
been a little skeptical of a sushi eating experience,
there is no need to shy away from Japanese cuisine at
Yamato.
The Teppan tables offer a perfect alternative. Seated
in front of a grill, each chef artistically prepares
the meal in front of you. From the knives that are tossed
into the air to the fire that soars high, it makes the
dining experience unique and entertaining.
Steak, chicken, and shrimp dinners can be prepared in
this manner along with vegetables and rice. Yamato is
suited for a lunch or dinner with family, friends, or
a date. Yamato Restaurant is located at 28700 Roadside
Dr. in Agoura Hills. (818) 706-7711
