★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 TJ Markley · Feb 2026

Ordered roughly $80+ worth of sushi. It’s now “ground” paste. These I’ve gotten in the past. They both are supposed to be “spicy salmon”. The texture is way different. Has something changed? They were kind picking it up. But I had to wait ten minutes longer than the time I requested in the online pickup.

I was seated immediately for lunch on a Wednesday. - Restaurant was cute and clean inside. Very friendly staff. - I ordered the lunch special (2 rolls: crunch & eel and avocado roll), 2 orders of salmon nigiri, and 1 order of tobiko. - Pretty good for what I would expect in Pella. - Paid $32.05 for everything

I would never go here if it's the last place on earth. The staff was so rude. They sat and ordered food for people that were obvious regulars before they even asked for our order. Every exchange was rude. I gave a 20 % tip because I'm a kind person but honestly, they deserved zero. I will never be back and they wouldn't let us pay separate cards if it was under $12. Like what??? I've also never heard of that, nor did they post it. Bad experience and don't recommend

Cool little place. Seated right away at 7 on a Thursday night. Place was busy, I got one of the last tables. Seating for 30-40? Open sushi station to watch the magic happen. I ordered a scallop bento box. Loved it and everything that came with it. Salad, Spring roll, soup,California roll, fried rice, scallops in a dreamy sauce. Total was $20 some dollars. It was so nice to have both a fork and chopsticks available to choose from without having to ask.

The food has been very good every time we have eaten here & tonight was too. We went for my birthday dinner & I was given a little Crystal Keychain as a gift. Very surprising & thoughtful! After eating a great meal I was too full for dessert anyways. Yamato's is top of our list of favorite restaurants!
