Really good experience -- we'll be back! We had a great time at Yamato. The place was clean, comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We ordered quite a bit -- bento box, shrimp tempura, chicken hibachi, steak & lobster hibachi, filet mignon hibachi, and tonkotsu ramen -- and honestly everything tasted fresh and well-cooked. The hibachi meats were tender and flavorful, the tempura was crispy, and the ramen had a nice rich broth. Portions were generous too. Overall just a relaxing, enjoyable dinner. Definitely a spot we'd come back to and I'd recommend it to friends and family. read more

Place was clean and service was fine. Don't be fooled by the pretty presentation. The actual dish I got was pretty egregious. I ordered the chicken tempura bento box thinking it would be similar to chicken katsu. However I got 3 little 1 cm thick chicken breast slices drenched in batters and oil. It came with one deep fried broccoli, one deep fried sweet potato slice, 1 deep fried zucchini slice, and 1 deep fried onion ring. Very greasy, unappetizing and just tasted like I was eating oil flavored paper towels. The side salad was just iceberg lettuce with a chicken sauce, which wasn't terrible, however looked like vomit. Very unappetizing. Lastly the fried rice was super plain and just not yummy at all. I didn't say anything at the restaurant because I don't want to cause a scene, however paying $20 for this absolute abomination should be illegal lol Miso soup was okay just lacked more toppings (barely had tofu/green onion, seaweed Overall this dish would be perfect for people who are on a mission ti clog their arteries and have a heart attack as soon as possible. read more

Yamato - Abomination chicken tempura bento box - Japanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was recommended to us as a great restaurant in the area of Copperfield. As you can see, the place is very nice and well decorated. This is a Japanese steak house and does not have open hibachi tables for you to sit at. The service was great and all the food came out perfect. Go by and give it a try!!! read more

I took my family here on a weekday for my daughter's birthday. The decor was nice and the food was good. Service was prompt and friendly. I mentioned it was my daughter's birthday, and they brought fried ice cream to the table for her and her siblings to share. read more

Amazing vibe once inside. This Japanese Restaurant would be packed in a prime location. Really enjoyed the food. The quality was really good and the temperature came out steaming. Felt amazing to see the Hibachi Chef in his element grilling instead of hidden behind a wall. The servers bring the food to your table as soon as its ready. Highly recommend if your in the area or willing to make the drive! read more

Came here a week ago with my family and otw as pretty good! To start, we ordered the crab Rangoon and the spring rolls. The spring rolls were absolutely delicious, the crab Rangoon was good, but it was filled with a lot of cream cheese, I could barely taste the crab. Next we ordered the hibachi filet and I won't lie, at first the meat had a weird, gamey taste but my husband said that's good meat. Just a different taste for me. My husband got a strawberry milkshake that had milk but it was pretty good! There's no actual hibachi that you sit at, they cook it off to the side but the portion size was really good! Overall 7/10 but I will be back! read more

This is an excellent neighborhood Japanese restaurant with an extensive menu, including sake and both domestic and Japanese beers. My entree of beef filet and scallops was perfectly cooked and started with a choice of soups and a small salad for just $19.95. I managed to set aside half for tomorrow's meal. read more

I really think this is a much needed gem for the 529-Copperfield-outside Katy area. We live nearby and received their menu in the mail. I was really intrigued because the pricing seemed awesome, selection sounded good, there was a small kids hibachi menu which means: it's close by, it's something different and is welcoming for kids to come. It's decorated so cute inside. Numerous parasol umbrellas hang from the ceiling, the booths have a fun tile surround, the music was fun, tvs were on. I think someone in ownership came by with a pair of training chopsticks for my son which was so sweet and my son thought was so special. The hibachi was delicious! Onion/mushroom soup, yummy salad with a citrus ginger dressing, and the fried rice with your protein selection. It does not come with a show which is good with us because we're here for the food! Everything came out timely, was fresh and flavorful. read more

This place had been on my list since I saw the "opening soon" sign, and it did not disappoint! Came here this past Saturday, and loved it! My fiancé and I started with some waters with lemon and I ordered a mango green tea which was very tasty. I added the regular tapioca to it. For an appetizer I opted for the teriyaki wings (I say "I" because she didn't eat any) which were big and the taste was solid. For the main course I ordered the imperial dinner (chicken, steak and shrimp) which comes with a side salad, soup, and fried rice. I opted for the onion soup. Everything was delicious!! The portion on the main plate was huge too. I took the rest to go which I never do, especially with a post-workout meal. My fiancée ordered the filet and shrimp combo which she loved and also took the remainders to go. She commented on how the steak was cooked very well. We ended up with some free chocolate ice cream as they advertise on the table that you can get this for free if you leave a google review. We were going to leave a review anyway so I the ice cream was a plus. She had mentioned when we walked in that there was an off smell, but that was quickly forgotten once we started eating. Our server Andy was really laid back and attentive, so shout out to him! Side note: if you want yum yum sauce you can ask for it but it doesn't come with the food. This spot is a GREAT value for what you get with some tasty food. I'll see if I can convince myself to try the sushi next, but I loved what I ordered. I'll definitely be back! read more

Went on a Saturday. The place was nice and clean. Our server was very friendly. We ordered sushi, Chicken and steak combo hibachi, and kids chicken hibachi. Also edamame for appetizer. The hibachi was very good. My wife didn't like the sushi. I'm not a sushi person so I didn't try it. Everything else was good though. You get lots of food for the hibachi and the prude prices were good. The kids hibachi was buy one get one free. read more

A new restaurant in our area, so 4 of us decided to give it a shot. Their buildout on this restaurant is very nice, I was surprised at the numerous upgraded finishes. We were seated quickly, by a friendly host. Our server introduced herself promptly & got our drink order. Drink menu was small but they had many good sakes & Japanese beer to choose from and boba tea for the adultish children, so everyone was happy. We ordered from their regular menu & their specials menu. 2 apps, (a sushi pizza thing with spicy tuna & fried octopus ball doohickies, both were very yummy) sushi, rolls, hibachi & a bento box, so a varied order. Everything was quickly made to order, delivered with nice presentation & was delicious. What a nice addition to our area, we will definitely come here again! read more

Waitress was friendly. Nice portions. I ordered filet mignon and scallops. I wanted filet medium and it came out well. read more

Had passed by several times and always meant to go in. I knew they had been open for awhile. We wanted something different than the usual Asian buffet and we were not disappointed. Service was outstanding. Their lunch specials were very good and didn't break the bank. We are not Sushi fanatics, the Philadelphia Roll and the California Roll being our favorites. The Hibachi specials at lunch are for two people. As my husband prefers Lo Mein noodles, they were substituted for the rice with no problem. Desert options are minimal but the ice cream was delicious. As it is so close to our neighborhood we will definitely be back. The decor is beautiful and the ambience is wonderful. read more

We've been several times and it's great every time. My husband loves the hibachi and I get the sushi. Definitely worth trying!

Happened to get lunch here on their Grand Opening day! So impressed! Was too hungry to take pictures of the food, but trust me. This was so good. We will definitely be back whenever we need to get our hibachi fix. read more
