This is my go to for take out. I always get the steak box with crab Rangoon, rice, veggies and sushi. It's soooo good and the yum yum sauce is very yummy. The sushi is pretty good but i love the steak! I've been ordering here on average once a month for the last 4 years and have never had any issues with my order. Parking is very easy to get in and out. read more

With barely any Chinese food in St. John and little competition - this place does a great job! Keep in mind this is a take out or pickup only type of place. We always order the hibachi dinners and the food is always hot and fresh and ready when we pick it up. Great people - great food - keep serving us up! read more

Yamato - A glass plate holds three different sushi rolls, each topped with distinct ingredients: fish, mango, and avocado. The rolls are garnished with green onions, orange fish roe, and drizzled with sauces, including soy sauce and spicy mayo. The presentation emphasizes colorful toppings and a variety of textures, typical of Japanese cuisine. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint John, Indiana

Service was great food was good the only problem was finding a foreign object in one of the sauce containers. But overall good. Just threw it away. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and their price is worth it especially for take out hibachi.

this place is by far the best little spot i've ever eaten at. if you haven't yet you need to and i mean NEED to go here. the service is perfect and so is the inside of the store. read more

The service is not very friendly they got my order wrong and when I informed them the lady got an attitude and it seem like she walked to the back and came out with the same plate just different sauce. We ordered the coconut chicken and orange chicken and some egg rolls... the food was very blend no flavor at all. Fried rice was not cooked correctly and the egg rolls were ok . I would not be coming back at all over price for the quality of the food . read more

I was glad to have this place in the neighborhood however after returning home to eat I noticed that my rice was still hard and not cooked all the way through, I called the restaurant and asked what could they do. They said that I could come back and get a large rice. Now, wait one second. You mean to tell me that you're going to offer me additional uncooked rice. You've got to be kidding me. I took the food back up there and they immediately started looking for reasons not to refund me saying that I at some of the steak. No shit, I tasted my food. How else would I know if something is prepared correctly? There were a few guest dining inside and I mentioned this to them as well since these people think they can refuse to refund people their hard earned money. The finally settled with me and refunded my card but it was not without attitude and a horrible display of customer service. Usually I'm willing to give establishments second chances however, this one I'm completely through with. After this encounter, I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Buyer beware! read more

I want to eat here every day. This is the only place that I will tip on a carry out order. The sushi is great.

Really good Asian food. The sushi is definitely the star here for me. The dragon roll is amazing. The staff is really nice and genuine. We go there a lot and have tried a few items. The egg rolls and gyoza are really great too! This is our go to for sushi close to home! Great place! read more

Food was expensive for what it was. Crab Rangoon was missing the crab. We went on a hot day. The A/C couldn't keep up and it seemed like it was hotter inside vs. outside. read more

I wouldn't dine in it's a small restaurant big enough to accommodate about 8 -10 ppl if you don't want your order to go. They have sushi, Chinese, Japanese and Thai options and it's okay if you want something quick. Service is meh, not good but not bad. read more

Not sure why this place isn't more busy! The food is SO GOOD AND SO FRESH! Highly highly recommend read more

For the Midwest this is a pretty decent place to get some good Asian food. It's a small hole in the wall but has quite a bit to choose from on the menu. The food is really good, it's not the best Asian food I've had but it definitely still has those staple items on the menu and they do it right. Lots of sushi to choose from as well as other entrees. Great for take out. The staff was really nice and fast, they knew what they were doing and got it done quick. Great service. As for the atmosphere, it's small yet quaint. Very clean and organized and plenty of room for inside seating. Loved the decorations. Food - 4 Staff - 4 Atmosphere - 4 read more

St. John really needs to step up their game. Probably the only con in this area is the lack of food options. Hubby and I sat in last night and this restaurant is not set up for dine in. Styrofoam plates and plastic everything. The filling in the crab ragoon was not good, did not taste like crab at all California roll tasted as it should. The miso soup had the world's tiniest tofu pieces. Rice tasted like instant rice. But, I would order (to go) their express hibachi options chicken and vegetables tasted fresh. Customer service was good though! read more

A small cup of red dipping sauce and a small container of soy sauce are placed on the plate. The plate is set on a dark table, with a blurred background.

Love their sushi rolls. We always pick up and it's ready and hot and order is always correct. Delicious.

This Review is for Sunday august 24, 2020 So today was the first time my Lady and I gave this establishment a try, based on 7 reviews I decided to give them a try and see how they were. So when we go there, the parking lot was basically empty, only vehicles coming and going was the door dash person. These guys are trying to take precautionary measures like any other business out there because of covid. They got their menus on a table, bottle of hand sanitizer on the table as well. On the window, they have a sign asking customers to place an order by phone. So when we got there, my lady was going to ask a question, then she seen the menus on the table. She came back, then we phoned asking a question about one their party trays we were thinking of ordering. So We placed an order for the following: Shrimp Yaki Soba I will say I loved how these noodles were made. The dish has soft noodles, broccoli, zucchini and celery in the dish. I have to say was yummy and I would definitely get it again. As for the Sushi, we got one their party trays that had 7 classic Sushi Rolls and 3 Special Rolls. 7 Classic rolls: California Roll Tuna Roll Salmon Roll Eel Avocado Roll Alaska Roll Shrimp Mango Roll Kani Mango Roll 3 Special Rolls: Rich Salmon Roll Rainbow Roll Atomic Bomb Roll Overall everything but 2 rolls tasted great, flavor was there. For some reason both the Tuna and Salmon rolls had tasted fishy. I made a comment to my lady and well when she tasted it, she said she tasted the fishy taste on the see weed wrap not the fish, so like the person I am, I took one the sushi pieces apart and tried the seaweed by itself and had to spit it back up. The seaweed for those two rolls were tanish not 100% green like then should be, so my partner was correct it was not the fish, but the seaweed that tasted fishy. I am unseen if anyone from that business reads these reviews, but recommend them keep an eye on inventory on what is and is not fresh. Who ever your sushi chef is, should be checking this on daily to make sure this does not happen, things like this can get a customer sick. this is why I gave them the 3 star rating mainly based on 2 rolls we had for the Tuna and Salmon rolls. Other than that issue, everything else was fine. so if going to give them a try, make sure to look over your order if you can, and well hopefully no one has the same experience we did with the seaweed being bad. By looking at my photos you would not be able to tell anything was bad until you tried the tuna or salmon, but things like this happen as a hit or miss. I am unsure if we would try them again, due to this mistake they made, there is no way to say if it would happen again or not. read more

2nd time trying this place. Really not a fan. The chicken in my chicken lo mein was so dry it was inedible. Won't be back

Bad food. Veggie tempura was awful. It was mushy with a thick batter not crispy and thin. Sushi tasted like frying oil and was small for the price. Udon, bento box, and fried rice all had no flavor. Very bland with no seasoning. Would not go back. read more

Hands down the best sushi in "the region." Honestly, probably one of the best restaurants in northwest Indiana, from a food quality standpoint. We've ordered probably 3 or 4 times (delivery) and haven't been disappointed with a single thing. The udon, lo mein, and sushi were excellent. The beef was so tender and not overcooked, like most Asian places. Favorite rolls have been the peppered tuna and spicy girl rolls. This is the only place in the area we enjoy sashimi. So fresh! Comparable to Chicago quality sushi. Also, odd, but notable was the New York cheesecake slice. So creamy an unexpectedly delicious. I've referred at least 4 friends to order sushi from here and they've all over it and claim it's their new favorite sushi in northwest Indiana as well. When we host friends, we order from here. This place gets a solid 5 stars and a happy, loyal customer read more

This place is pretty amazing! Food tastes great and was ready quick! I substituted the rice for noodles in the hibachi and got a side of shrimp fried rice. Meats were seasoned well and very tender. read more

Ordered $85 worth of sushi to pick up. The sushi was decent but very small servings. There wasn't enough food for 2. We were still hungry. We've carried out from many other sushi restaurants and the amount ordered should have been plenty. We felt like it was half size. I'll never go there again for sure. read more

I was sad to hear that China Wok closed, but was glad to see a similar restaurant opened up in its place. The food is standard Chinese takeout, but the portions are larger than expected. I can't speak to the sushi, but they do offer some. read more

Good place for local take out Sushi/Hibachi. For what it is, the sushi is good. Better than store bought, but maybe not your higher end restaurant... But again, for something close to home and easy to take out... Fits us fine. The hibachi is pretty darn good tho, and you get a good portion for the $. Fresh and flavorful. Haven't tried anything beyond sushi and Hibachi there.... So can't comment on that. Service is nice and friendly. Prices are comparable to other Asian restaurants. read more

Ordered in early March: The sushi samples, orange chicken dinner, and bento boxes with rice and vegetables were pretty tasty! The staff were friendly over the phone, the store itself was very clean, and our food was ready to be picked up quicker than expected (plus they were piping hot!). read more

This is best sushi I ever had here, in NW Indiana, since I have lived for the past 5 years! Once you try it, will never get sushi and/or hibachi from anywhere else! I guarantee read more

This place is brand new. The sushi is good and the staff is friendly and helpful. I'll definitely stop in again! read more

Ordered sushi. Received the wrong item, fish didn't taste fresh. Disappointing bc we wanted it to be a nice local place to get sushi.

You probably wouldn't think this place could possibly do hibachi right but you'd be wrong. I was so shocked. They exceeded my expectations. We had 2 rolls, egg rolls a fried rice, general tsos and 2 hibachi dinners. The only thing I wasn't sold on was the chicken fried rice and the rice accompanying the entrees. The rice was bland and the chicken in the chicken fried rice wasn't small enough to just take bites they were long and awkward to bite. The steak was so tender and they give a really good portion of veggies, it was a bit salty. The prices were reasonable and we will be back. Hope enough people check them out to keep the doors open. read more

My go to Hibachi spot. Lots of good options, great sushi, and fresh ingredients. Really great portions too, overall, I just love it here, & I can't wait for dine in to be available again. I eat at Yamato at least once a month and recommend it to all of my NWI friends. read more

Had the Orange Chicken tonight. Over cooked....chewing the chicken was like chewing rubber. Thought I would give them a shot......FAIL. Prices are rather high too for the quality. You want Chinese...go to Lucky China or Ken Kings read more

So good! We get food from here almost once a week, love the steak bento box! Always fast n friendly!

everything was good in my bento box except for the sushi that was legit mutilated and sitting in beef sauce read more

Great food and super fast service. Yamato has great sushi, hibachi dinners and their rice is to die for.

Picked up food from here a few weeks ago and enjoyed the sushi. The Hibachi chicken was rather tasteless and lackluster. So when I go back, I'll just leave the Hibachi off. read more

Fantastic food and fantastic price. I have been here a handful of times and it has always been great. Small place with a few tables if you'd like to eat in. I've had hibachi that was just as good as Yamato's but other companies are nearly double in price. Definitely worth giving a try! Their sushi is next in my list. read more

We ordered 2 spicy tuna rolls, and one cooked roll. The spicy tuna was extremely warm and the tuna tasted fishy. Definitely low grade tuna. The spicy tuna rolls were inedible. We also ordered edamame, really mediocre.. they weren't salted or seasoned at all. Please, do yourself a justice and go somewhere better. read more

Probably the absolute worst sushi I've ever eaten. Order takers attitude was about as friendly as the warm tuna I had. This place really sucks. Don't waste your time or money. read more

I really like this place. The sushi and Chinese food are very good. Quick and reasonably priced.
