A nice cuisine option in a small town without many other restaurants. The food is fresh and plentiful. I called an order in and it was ready when I got there. I ordered hibachi shrimp and we got a couple of sushi rolls. Very reasonably priced. I'll be back again! read more

Great place in Pontotoc to get your hibachi fix. They are fast and the food is hot. The sushi rolls are also great.

Food was very good, service was efficient, and the prices are reasonable. Nice lunch specials! Will definitely be back when we're in the area again. Recommend the hibachi specials! read more

Service was excellent no complaints at all. Price was reasonable as well. The quality of the food could of been better but nonetheless it was decent I recommend this place. I just had came into town from Chicago, IL an this was the first place that came on a search and I'm glad I checked it out. read more

It's your standard Chinese owned run of the mill wannabe Japaneish steakhouse. The food was not bad. But the service was a bit lacking. English definitely not a strong suit for restaurant in a deeply southern area. read more

Yamato - Bento #2 with edamame and spring rolls. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Batesville, Mississippi

This place was amazing! Food was fresh and cooked to perfection. Also had wonderful service. It was far better than I expected, such a nice surprise. On the outside it looks like an old buffet establishment but inside it was all remodeled to be modern and pleasing to the eye. I had the scallops and they were amazing! Fabulous experience. Highly recommend this place. read more

Food was fresh, large quantities and the service was great. I suggest you make reservations

The food is really good! The sushi is fresh and well made. I have tried a little bit of everything and it's all been great.

The food was great! I really liked the fact that they use salmon on their Mississippi Roll. Also, their yum yum sauce is a different color than most; but it tastes awesome! The only thing I didn't like is that I felt rushed. They really push the check on you. I enjoyed the ambiance and it was like an hour before closing time. I would have been happier if I had to request my check. Lastly, I like that you can see the chefs working but just be prepared for a typical sit down dinner. It's not the type of hibachi that they cook at your table. All in all it's a cute place (especially for that area). read more

Yamato - Chicken hibachi and Mississippi rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Batesville, Mississippi

This joint is the highest rated Yelp in town. It's not bad at all. The quality of food was great. The presentation was stellar too. The atmosphere is very casual. Hated the TVs in the dining room. The TVs and stereo music all bled together. Had the very filling and fattening Fried Superman Roll (must-have) and also got the eel and yellow tail sushi. read more

I was visiting from out of town for work and this place was by my hotel....omg I got the hibachi lunch to go and it was delicious!! The yum yum sauce was different from what I get back home but it was good...the food was seasoned so well and portioned well also...definitely coming back read more

Staying at the Hampton nearby and wanted something that wasn't soooo unhealthy so I ordered the hibachi chicken which was quite tasty. The onion soup was ok.", but I should've ordered the miso instead. They didn't have a website or menu posted so I'll add a pic of the menu I grabbed. read more

Great food for even greater prices. The fried rice and udon with steak had generous, well cooked chunks of steak. That lovely grilled, smoky flavor of the meat was throughout the sauce on the udon as well. read more

Wonderful sushi! Had the Philadelphia Roll with smoked salmon, Ole Miss Roll and two helpings of the Black Peppered Tuna Roll. Some of the best sushi we've had and we've eaten a lot. read more

You can't go wrong with the Steak & Scallops and it didn't disappoint tonight. I tried the chicken and rice and I got undercooked chicken and the water tastes so metallic that it's hard to get down. Hopefully I just came on an off night. read more

I've eaten a lot of sushi in my day and I have to say, the sushi bento box was phenomenal! Each piece was very tasty, and the fish was very fresh and tender. I was very impressed to find this out in Batesville! Last time I got the udon because I was worried about eating sushi so far from the coast but never again. read more

Usually I find Japanese food bland. Not here, I love the food at this place. The staff, while their English is lacking, is very curtious and attentive. This place is very worth a try. The seaweed salad is a must. read more

We like it here and usually get take out. LIVE the Superman roll we get 2 large ones and always go with chicken hibachi. Feels a little dirty in the restaurant but that's cause they are always busy. read more

Terrible service took me 30 minutes to order a drink. Waiter came over took one girl's order and walked away without taking the other peoples at the table. she came over and we asked to order and she said not now i'll be back. took 3 other orders and then came and asked if we were ready. honestly disappointed in the bad service read more

I have been in Batesville, Ms for the last 2 days and I have eaten here 4 times for lunch and dinner! Amazing. Try the Gyoza and the Spring Rolls. Oh and the soba noodles are the bomb.com too!! read more

Yamato - The chicken hibachi...I like it without mushrooms. So tasty! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Batesville, Mississippi

We were looking for a hibachi restaurant and Yamato was suggested. The place itself is kinda of rundown. The soup and salad was ok nothing outstanding. We ordered the salmon and the steak. The salmon was just ok, too much sauce. The steak was prepared the way we asked for it and was good. The vegetables consisted mostly of onions and zucchini. Portions are great. Service falls short. Waited 10 minutes after being seated to order and another 30 minutes for our food. Overall falls just under average. read more

The best sushi you can ask for!!! They have the best combination rice in the world. Good customer service. LOVE IT!!!

The food was great, but I was disappointed in the price of the sushi rolls I received. I asked before purchasing the rolls how many rolls come with the meal and I was told ten rolls. When I received the rolls, I said, I thought you said there were going to be ten rolls and the cashier looks at them and say oh...They 8 big rolls. I cannot return until they do better. I can continue to go to China Buffet and get as many as I would like and more for the exact same price. read more

Yamato - This is the rainbow roll. One of my old time favorites. If allergic to fish, I would not recommend it. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Batesville, Mississippi

Final results: the menus are original. As a good taste to it. Even they have to television and DirecTV service provider. All the matters: it needs Wi-Fi and Yamato steakhouse of Japan. read more

Service was prompt and pleasant. The atmosphere needs a makeover. The meal was disappointing at best. Every thing was luke warm. The onion soup was bland except for the oil floating on top. The rest of the meal could not be finished after the first few bytes. read more

I know what you're thinking ... sushi in a small town in Mississippi? Let me tell you -- I have had sushi in many, many places, and this place never disappoints. Super fresh sashimi. Always. My fave is the sushi bento lunch for about $10. Highly recommended! read more

Japanese food in Batesville Ms? Not as bad as you'd think. The selection is just as varied and I'd say even better than the upscale and loftier places in Memphis and Oxford. Good food, fair prices. read more

Yamato is my favorite place to eat in the area. The sushi rolls are large and the portions are generous. My favorite special roll is the fried superman. I absolutely LOVE their chicken yaki soba. Their potstickers are great. The California roll is good. I also got to try mochi ice cream for the first time. The actual building is nice and clean (even the restrooms). Altogether a wonderful experience. read more

Just tried this place for lunch today. It's been open for about 3 weeks now. We were seated in the back room which I found very dirty. You can tell they didn't spend much time getting this part ready, more attention was focused on the main dining area. Anyway, we ordered from the lunch menu and the portions were great for lunch. We didn't order sushi, just hibachi. I had chicken and shrimp. They put it in a teriyaki sauce which I didn't care for. My husband got steak and shrimp and it had no sauce, wish I had gotten that! There is no "show" here like at other hibachi restaurants. The rice was great, I wish I had just ordered the fried rice with shrimp. I will get that next time. read more

Proper casual atmosphere. The waitstaff were very courteous and friendly. Prices are reasonable/good and the food itself was great. Tried the 3 roll combo with soup & salad. The soup & salad appeared traditional as to be expected with Japanese restaurants. The rolls were outstanding! Tried the cucumber, sweet potato, and (spicy) tuna with avocado roll. Very good, would absolutely frequent if I wasn't an out-of-state business traveler. Absolutely drop by if you're in the area. read more

Food was prepared fresh and very tasty. I had the hibachi steak and shrimp. Portions are not too much but are plenty for the big appetite. If your coming through Batesville, I would recommend this place. read more

It is a great place. Very fast and very nice people. Great food. The rice from there is even better the next day after being reheated with some soy sauce. Great portions. Some things a just a little be pricey but worth it. read more
