Yamato Steakhouse of Japan

Primarily carry-out only, however if you prefer dine-in there are tables available where you can sit and eat from the takeout containers. I used to frequent this restaurant regularly when I was working in Northern Ohio. While I wasn't unhappy with my most recent meal aside from the lack of a full dine-in option, I can't say I was all that enthused either. Previously, I had always had excellent experiences when dining here. Recently though the restaurant has gone down hill. It will be some time before I bother to give them another chance.

I had gotten the fried soft shell crab, it had too much breading. Why would you fry crab? Terrible. I also got the filet and shrimp, the filet was over cooked and tasteless but the shrimp was good. The fried rice was basically white rice, that was tasteless as well. This place is not a true hibachi place, hibachi shouldn't even be I the title and neither steakhouse. It's basically a sushi place for carryout only.Highly disappointed

Delicious food, just wish they were open a little longer then just lunch. Called them at 3:30pm and they were closed already

Usually order the hibachi and it's "ok". Have been ordering different lately and it's much better. The General tso chicken is really good and so is any Udon noodle dish. The Sushi is below average, but it's the only sushi I know of in Defiance.

Best sushi ever hands down
