Yamato Sushi & Steak House — Restaurant in Athens

The filet mignon hibachi meal was amazing! Steak pieces were tender and cooked to perfection, and the seasoning was perfect. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to eat my salad before the rest of my meal came (salad shouldn't take 20 minutes!). I was getting very cold in the restaurant, and the open kitchen meant fish smell emanates throughout the entire place, so at least getting my salad sooner would've given me something else to do besides ruminate on the unpleasant environment. Salad finally came out. Less than a minute later, my sushi roll came, and then just a couple minutes after that the hibachi meal came. They really could work on their timing some!

Wow! Didn't expect to find sushi this good in a place like Athens, usualy have to drive into Dallas or Tyler to find sushi in the first place so this is a welcome surprise!

Their miso soup was pretty good and their fried rice was a bit diffrent but not in a bad way. All in all, its now my favorite sushi place within 200 miles of where I live and trust me, Ive been to just about...
