    Fresh! Hot! Fast delivery! YummO! They were only open 10 more minutes when I called. Sure enough they took the job! I ordered combo LoMien and combo FriedRice... delish!

    Another Wednesday another craving for sushi. Just sushi and appetizers this time. My wife got an egg roll and I got crab Rangoon. Both were good pretty much what we have come to expect. For sushi we got 3 rolls. Snow monkey, rock-n-role and the spider roll. All were great. Service was fast and friendly.

    Great sushi

    If you want some great food and a great time come here. Just sit back and enjoy a good time with friends and family. The food here is the best Chinese in crawfordsville. The wait staff is amazing and are always very friendly.

    We have eaten here a couple of times as we were passing through the Crawfordsville, Indiana area…read more This restaurant is a slow 5 miles off Interstate 74 but we really prefer Asian food and were willing to go a little bit out of our way to have lunch at an Asian restaurant. The last time we ate here it was Friday right during the noon lunch hour but there were no customers when we arrived. A few more people came in after we did but it never really got busy. The ambiance was therefore pretty low-key. The service we received both times was fine. We had an order of gyoza we split between us, we each had a bowl of miso soup, and we each had the two-rolls lunch special. The gyoza was good, although it was fully deep-fried and not just browned on one side as it usually is. The miso soup was strangely dark - I even verified with the waitress that it was indeed miso soup. I'm wondering if perhaps they used red miso paste rather than the usual shiro (white) miso paste? Regardless, the soup was flavorful and good and although not quite traditional miso soup, very acceptable. And quite a generous portion, also. The sushi rolls were fine - the way this chef arranges the salmon roll pieces in the shape of a flower is very pretty. We couldn't eat it all so the waitress brought us boxes and we took the remainder home. The check was around $55 before tip.

    Amazing lobster Rangoons, excellent sushi, soup, and hibachi options. Service is consistently…read moreprompt and respectful. The restaurant has pleasant decorations and seating options that you would expect for a first generation immigrant restaurant in a small rural town, ie conservatively adequate accommodations with decorations that are representative of Japanese culture. Expecting anything more would be presumptuous. Yamato is a welcome break from corporate Americana monotony that I recommend to anyone in the Crawfordsville area.

On my most recent visit, the restaurant was very busy, yet the service was surprisingly quick. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and upscale perfect for a dinner date or a special night out. While the sushi is priced a bit higher than some other spots in town, the quality of the ingredients, presentation, and service make it well worth it. You truly get what you pay for here.

    I have had the pleasure of visiting this establishment twice before, and each time, I left…read morethoroughly impressed by both the service and the food. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was not as positive, and I found myself disappointed--though not due to any major issues. When I arrived at 11 a.m., right as the restaurant opened, there seemed to be adequate staff and they certainly weren't too busy to pay attention to the two tables dining at the time. I have no issue with staff taking a moment to chat, but I wish they had focused a little more on the guests who were dining. We ordered green tea, which is served in a metal teapot. The protocol is that if one person orders it, they receive the teapot, and if two people order it, they get one teapot to share. However, what surprised me was that despite finishing our tea, no one came by to offer us a refill. It would have been nice for someone to ask if we wanted more, especially given that we had finished the first pot. I also ordered the vegetable udon, hoping for a flavorful dish filled with fresh vegetables. Sadly, when it arrived, it lacked any vegetables and was quite bland. The overall taste was underwhelming, which was disappointing, as I had expected better. I pushed the plate to the side, indicating that I wouldn't be eating it. No one noticed. My plate was hardly touched, and not once did any staff member, including what I presumed to be the manager based on his demeanor, come over to inquire about my meal. He passed by my table at least three times without asking if everything was okay. I would have appreciated the opportunity to provide feedback. While I must say that everything else I tasted, aside from the udon, was delicious, the lack of attention to detail--such as not offering a refill for my tea and not inquiring about my dining experience--left me feeling neglected. It was truly disappointing to leave with an untouched plate and not a single word from the staff addressing my concerns even after we declined the offer container to take home the meal.
