Yamoto - Toronto

Sat at a table with a show. While our cook was not as good at the show as some of the others it was fun and good. Just a little different for a night out. $124 with tax and tip.

I really enjoy having lunch at this teppanyaki restaurant. It's a much better value than going for dinner. You still receive excellent service and get to watch the chef cook in front of you, which adds to the overall experience. In my opinion, the Sirloin is the standout dish, but the sushi is also very good.

I have visited this restaurant twice, and both times the teppanyaki experience was both entertaining and delicious! The lobster and steak are amazing, and the fried rice is addictive! I absolutely love this restaurant and highly recommend it, especially their must-try lychee berry martini! It is one of my favorite places in Toronto, situated in a beautiful area.

Dre: In Yorkville, there's a Japanese restaurant called Yamato. It has several teppanyaki tables so we decided to go there for lunch. Reservations are highly recommended as this place is very popular! The lunch prices are very decent as well. You can start from $9.99 for a beef teppanyaki meal! I went all out and got chicken and shrimp $15) as well as some sake. It was a really good value considering the chef puts on a show for you too! The meal also came with veggies. If you want fried rice though, it's an extra $5. It comes with white rice as default.

The man standing at the front wasn't very friendly, which was kind of off putting, but the service at our table was amazing. We had Anna as our server and Romeo as our chef. The drinks kept coming and the food was awesome. The onion soup was good, the salad was just ok and definitely no complaints about our mains. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Banana crepe for dessert was the perfect happy ending to a great meal.
