Manchester Yamato Sushi & Steakhouse

Fairly new ownership. I know the old owners ran a lot of people out but it has turned around 180 degrees. We love it. This is the only place we eat Japanese. Food and service are phenomenal. All dishes have perfect presentation and very fresh. Very clean and great atmosphere. Servers are extremely friendly and attentive

Visited on a Monday night (for our anniversary) and a Thursday night (for our daughters birthday) Both times we had the place almost to ourselves. From the outside this place doesn't look like much but the inside was clean and inviting. Staff are cheerful and friendly! The food is fresh and amazing with decent portions! The soups are really rich! And the ginger salad is the typical iceberg but the ginger dressing is better than usual not as sweet. The quality of the sashimi is obvious I'm usually hesitant to try it in a land lock state but I'm so glad we did. The hibachi had great flavor was cooked perfectly and my husband left full! My children devoured their food before we could get any pictures unfortunately, But we took some on our first night. Every dish is decorated and made special.

At first glance this place seems kinda basic. I assure you it’s a hidden gem. We came in and only saw a few staff working and were a bit iffy on whether to stay. We were promptly greeted and sat. The food took a while to get to us but our server kept tabs on us the whole time. Chef was working his ass off just pumping orders out. We ordered sushi and a noodle plate and it was AMAZING. Totally worth the wait. The sashimi was SUPER THICK and the prices were more than fair. Recommended.

Last minute decision, was awesome, so glad we did. The best miso, ginger and yum yum for side salad. Very clean tables. Service was great. Had the dragon roll, smoked salmon sushi, California rolls.

Food was delicious, presentation was great, and the service was wonderful. The server was also making my sushi and I watched her wash hands and put gloves on. Very kind and quiet. Seemed happy to help.
