Yamamoto Japanese Cuisine

A new all you can eat sushi place opened up at Market Village very recently and after hearing great reviews from many of my fellow peers, I thought that it was a great idea to take the entire extended family over there to go check it out.  Yamamoto Japanese Cuisine opened up where the old Mongolian Grill use to be.  It serves a variety of sushi and sashimi.  We went there on a Thursday evening where it was $21.99 per adult person, $11.99 per child and $19.99 for seniors.  Of course, weekends would be a couple of dollars more but people would be allowed to choose from a few more extra items. We made reservations since we almost had 20 people going that evening.  When we got there, we were given seats on the upper level.  Despite being on a Thursday evening, the restaurant was completely packed. 

The waiters gave us a bunch of menus and blank pieces of paper where we would write down what we wanted.  The minute we handed in our selection to the waitress, we were given starter sashimi trays. The trays were filled with a variety of sashimi and meats. (see picture below)  It was all complementary from the restaurant and was a great idea to fill in the waiting time from the actual items that we had ordered.  It would be impossible to go through every single item that we had ordered that evening as we order an exuberant amount of food that night so I will just comment on the complementary dishes and their signature that evening. 

Sashimi Starter

I decided to go with their Yamamoto sushi special which was their "signature" dish.  In the middle of about 8 mango sushis, they would have some cucumber sushis with some sort of crab meat laitd on top of the sushis.  The crab meat dressing as I would call if for now was very good.  Truthfully all of the food that we ordered was quite delicious that evening.  From the sushi and sashimi, to the udon and ribs everything that we had ordered was up to standard.

The other complementary dish that arrived that evening was their garlic filled lobster.  This was quite a surprise as I was certainly not expecting this.  Children were not given the lobster, only adults and seniors.  The lobster that arrived were medium in size but the lobster was very tasty.  There was plenty of meat in the lobster and in the claws and in what I could see of the majority of the lobsters, there was plenty of tomalley in many of the lobsters. 

Complementary Lobsters

In the end, it was a very good evening.  Although they said there would be a 90 minute time limit, we were there for almost 2 and a half hours eating away.  The waiters and waitresses were right beside us the entire time and changed our plates constantly.  The quality of the food was surprisingly very good and in good quantity as well.  One secret I will share with you is that it is wise to order the dessert early or mid way through your dinner.  They run out quick and if you have a family like mine that likes to eat 5 of every desert, then this you want to place your orders in before they are all gone.  We gave them a fairly good tip and I would recommend anybody to go and give it a try.  As for me, there will certainly be a second time in the very near future.  Overall I give them a 4.25 out of 5.
