    Hot tea in a cute tea kettle
    Stephanie B.

    My last visit to Yamamori was splendid, and I hope it was indicative that the food and service has improved since my last visit, about a year and a half ago. The food was delicious and generously portioned, and the waitress on staff was extremely professional and very helpful. The crazy tuna roll, the special of the day, was fantastic. Not only did the roll look carefully put together with great presentation, but it was also huge and filling! A roll that size would typically cost a few dollars more elsewhere (and that's taking the original non-special price into consideration). My dad wanted ice cream but was unsure of what mochi was. He decided on green tea ice cream, which he loved, but the waitress also surprised us with a strawberry mochi on-the-house for him to try out, which was awesome. As it turns out, he also loves mochi. I would be more than happy to write a 5-star review upon my next visit if things continue to go well! I've eaten here about 4 times, but if this review was based off of this visit alone I would definitely rate it 5 stars right away! A great dining experience.

    Very good! Best chow main close by !! Will be back for more. Sushi was good. We had the Becky roll, buba gum roll, and California roll. All good!

    I really enjoyed the food at Yamamori. There was nothing that blew me away but the Ramen and Sushi I had were both very tasty. Although the ramen noodles were not homemade they were definitely chewy and the broth was very tasty. The meat was pretty good too and wasn't all fat or nerve pieces. Place is pretty big in size and is still in new condition. Our waitress Mariah is one of the best waitresses I've had. She was extremely busy and by herself, but still kept a positive attitude and smiled a whole lot. Excellent service from her!! Prices are fair during Happy Hour. I'd return if I was in the area.

    Not a bad place, but not the best management. The waitress was friendly, prompt, and patient. Unfortunately she was sent home early and the manager finished her shift. It was apparent that he wasn't eager to serve customers. Closing time was 8pm on Wednesday February 23, but we were made to feel uncomfortable. We left at 7:30pm. Overall our experience with the waitress was a 5. The management experience was a 2, but I didn't want to fault the waitress. I would return, just not late in the day. I'd recommend the same to any other customer. You can see from the pictures that we enjoyed wonderful food until the manager was a dick.

    Chicken bento was horrible.
    Charles W.

    A group of us checked out this restaurant because it's one of the non Western food option around this quiet town. We got there about an hour before closing and the restaurant was completely empty. Nobody at sight. Just the server standing there, waiting for something to happen. So we showed up and was seated immediately. 4 of us had a hard time deciding what to order because the Yelp reviews were filled with mixed feelings. If you're reading this review and hoping to use it to guide what to order or whether to eat here. Our group would say take your money somewhere else. I ended up ordering their teriyaki chicken bento because it seemed like the safest choice available. Guess what? I was absolutely wrong. The chicken tasted so bland. It feels like they just threw raw chicken on the grill and poured some sauce over it. I know cause I meal prep the same exact way. Their bento was filled with too much rice, the tempuras they served were below average, their California rolls were the worst I've ever tasted. Nothing was acceptable in the chicken teriyaki bento that I've ordered. On the brighter side, the server was attentive and helpful. She was the best part of our dining experience. On the side note, their teapot set was absurdly heavy. The heaviest cups and teapot I have ever used. Pouring hot tea was a hassle cause the cups were heat conducive. We were intrigued by it but damn it we just want to drink our beverage. I wouldn't come back to this restaurant even if they sold everything half off.

    It's ok, but overpriced for what you get. Too much rice, lower grade compared to what you'd expect for the price.

I went on a Thursday evening around 5 PM, and the restaurant was almost completely full. Luckily, my friends and I were able to grab a table and started ordering right away. I decided to splurge a bit and ordered the chirashi bowl, while my friends shared a couple of rolls. Our meals came with a complimentary salad, which was surprisingly delicious and a great start to the meal. When my chirashi bowl arrived, I was really impressed with the presentation. The assortment of fish looked beautiful and fresh. Coming from the Bay Area, I'd say the quality is definitely comparable. I especially loved the tuna -- it was fresh, buttery, and flavorful. There was also the perfect amount of rice to complement each piece of fish, leaving me feeling satisfied but not overly full. I tried a piece of my friend's sushi roll as well and could immediately taste the freshness of the fish. Everything felt high quality and well-prepared. There's street parking right in front of the restaurant, plus additional parking across the street. I'd recommend coming a little earlier in the evening because by 6-6:30 PM, I can easily see this place being completely packed. I can definitely see why this establishment is popular because of it's food and nice interior decor. I noticed a lot of people ordering bento boxes, so that's definitely something I'll be trying next time.

Unfortunately, the busboy just stood there saying nothing. I asked for napkins and he quickly brought them, and never apologized. The waitress came back by and mentioned she heard we had an accident and she was sorry about that. We were not comped in any way. That would have been a of show excellent customer service, but instead I was just left with a ruined blouse and sticky and stinky for half of my meal.

My wife noticed that most of the customers were Asians. That's very reassuring and the quality of the food was really good at the price point.

Walking in the decor is really nice and it's extremely clean and organized here. It was a little after the lunch rush so there wasn't too many people. All the food is displayed nicely and it appeared to be fresh. I usually go for the sushi and they had quite the variety and the taste and quality was decent. They have plenty of Chinese style dishes, so I sampled some appetizers like egg rolls and tried some stirfry. I also tried the crab legs and crawfish and they were not bad. I'd say for the price, Sakura will do if you're hungry and craving a Chinese style buffet. It may not knock your socks off but it will fulfill the craving.
