Normally I don’t write about sister restaurants where we have eaten before however this
was a brand new restaurant that had opened up very recently in Scarborough. Yamamoto All You Can Eat restaurant opened up
at Bridlewood Mall sometime last month and from what I could tell, it was
slowly becoming one of the main attractions in the mall.
The menu itself looked pretty thorough where each person on
the weekend was charged $25.99 and kids under 5 were charged $6.00. The extra cost on the weekend was due to
their specials on the weekend which for this weekend was half a lobster. One could actually take the deal or opt out
for $2.00 less if they didn’t want the lobster. The other
special they had was one could order 10 pieces of sea urchin sashimi for $15.00

| Sashimi Combination Platter |
As with all my all you can eats, it would be completely
impossible to go through every dish that we had ordered. One of the dishes that impressed me a lot
was the sashimi combination plate. With
the traditional salmon and tuna fish in the center, it also
included our sea urchin request and scallops sashimi. The scallops were my favorite as they were
very fresh, nice and cold and tasted very, very good.
The other thing that impressed me the most was that the entire sashimi dish was set on top of a bowl full of ice which kept the entire plate of sashimi
nice and cool.
Other things that impressed me were the Beef Ribs and also their
special Kansai Unagi Sushi rolls. I ordered the special rolls because they were under Chef's Recommendation and that it would take about 15 minutes to make. The rolls were presumably wrapped up with tin
foil as it was warm to touch. There were about 12 large
pieces of rolls in it and each one was sprinkled with some sesame, hot eel sauce
and pickled radish. It was quite good and the fact
that one did not have to put extra money for it made it pretty decent to
have.

| Grilled Mackerel |
Another dish that arrived that impressed me the most was the Grilled Mackerel. They added some sort
of special soya sauce on top of the mackerel which may it super tasty and beautifully
seasoned. It was very different compared
to some of the other places I have had before.
The mackerel was so good that my daughter alone ate one mackerel all to
herself. Interestingly enough they had
mistakenly put three plates of mackerel on our table when we actually had only
ordered one plate however it was so good that we ended up keeping all three of them.
If there was one thing I didn’t like it was the size of the
Udon or noodles that had arrived. The
noodles themselves were excellent.
Immersed in miso or onion soup and with a couple of pieces of beef in
it, the Beef Udon was a welcome dish to have on a cold winter night. The bowl was rather big however there was only
enough for about three mouthfuls full of noodles. I
guess they were worried about wasting considering most people would be pretty
full or would have other things to eat.
I guess it was just the inconvenience of having to keep ordering one noodle bowl after another to satisfy our stomachs.
Overall, it was a pretty decent night. The many servers on staff kept a good eye on our table and cleared our any empty plates on a consistent basis. Another great thing was that my liking their page on Facebook and by giving your name and phone number on the spot, they would give you a VIP card that will give you 10% off every time you eat at this location or the one at Market Village and it was also applied to the meal that evening. The food was pretty good and everyone went home full and happy. Overall I would give it a 4.25 out of 5.
