Reviews for Yamato Sushi & Bar in Bakersfield, CA
I gave four stars for the service but the food was three stars to me. It was good sushi but not my favorite place to get it. I... did finally try "Monkey Brains" and I really liked them. My favorite roll was the"Lake Isabella" because it was so spicy. Thecucumber roll was good just not great. The server was very nice and service was quick. Good place to get a fast and good meal.

Not incredibly impressed. Service was confusing and a bit snippy but understandable for a Friday night; that's dismissable. Im... sure they have great service otherwise. The sushi rolls were good but I wouldn't rate them amazing. Poke bowl was basic; notamazing. I feel the use of additional or a variety of ingredients could have definitely increased the presentation, quality, andtaste of both the sushi rolls and the bowl . Read more
This place never fails in quality. Sometimes service can be lacking, even on slow nights, but on average it's pretty good. Hubby... and I come in for a regular date night and are never disappointed. Love the All-you-can-eat. Been to other places that have thesame with smaller portions of fish, tons of rice, and made sloppily, but not here. Rolls and nigiri are made the same as ifordered off the regular menu. And if you absolutely love garlic, get the garlic edamame. Read more
I went to Yamato Sushi & Bar last month for one of my daughter's birthdays. We loved it so much that my other daughter wanted to... go for her birthday. Again the food was excellent, the service was fantastic and the well decorated atmosphere was justbeautiful. This is the place to be if you want to have good sushi, a good time and the best part karaoke. Read more

This was my first time at this restaurant and I can honestly say I was blown away. The interior of this location is very well... done and I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in the door. The lighting, the seating and the instant greeting from theemployees was a nice change from most restaurants in town. I arrived at 6 pm on a Saturday evening and I was shocked that itwasn't busier than it was. The staff was beyond friendly and answered every question I had without the usual look of annoyancesome waitresses give. I sat in the downstairs area where a friend was celebrating his birthday and singing karaoke. Thewaitresses were surprisingly very attentive to everyone who was downstairs and we never felt like they forgot about us. Which ishard to find anymore. I had been told how great their food was but sometimes it's exaggerated quite a bit but not this time. Iordered two rolls and an appetizer for my friend and I and both were prepared wonderfully and the plate presentation waspleasant as well. Each bite was full of flavor and never disappointed. I will definitely be coming back to this locationhopefully in the near future because there is more on their menu I'd love to talk try. Read more
Best Japanese restaurant in town! Their customer service is excellent and the food is delicious. The sushi we ordered was fresh... and very pleasing for the Gram (complete with a LED and everything!) but the poke bowls are what keeps us coming back. I expectthat this restaurant will really take off as we were some of their first customers on their opening weekend. Will definitely bereturning! Read more
I love this place! Great portions for the price. Buffet is my favorite in town!! I would give 5 stars but it's hard to get in... and out of there during an hour lunch break. Other than slow service AT TIMES... I would highly recommend this place. Read more
