Yamazato Japanese Restaurant

This is a no-frills Japanese take-out style establishment. I have been eating here for years and the food quality has always been good. The food options have expanded over time, and I have never been dissatisfied. The service is on par for take-out type restaurants, though they have always been friendly and willing to chat. It doesn't look like much, but it gets consistent local traffic. If you eat-in, you will see a steady flow of patrons.

😋 yummy yummy

Have been going to Yamazatos for years and always have great food. Just be aware that, like other Japanese restaurants, if you eat there, you will leave smelling a little like Japanese food. Not a problem for me at all!

Last night around 8:45pm I went to pick up some takeout at this restaurant. I’ve always gotten the Chicken Teriyaki with no onions, freshly made zucchini and steamed rice. It’s always been great and never any problems. 45 minutes later I suffered from severe stomach and back pain that was so painful I couldn’t see. Called my mother for help and she immediately called 911. Luckily because I have a sensitive stomach I couldn’t finish it. The paramedics have seen this one to many times and knew what to do. After 2 hours my body went into horrible waves of vomiting. None of the food I ate even digested. I lived my first and hopefully last round of food poisoning. I understand that mistakes happen so I won’t be asking for anything. I just want others aware that mistakes can happen anywhere and to always be safe. Sometimes it’s just better to prepare your own food. Thanks for reading.

The chicken & steak are always cooked perfectly, the vegetables are cooked perfectly, the rice is always wet but not too wet, they've never screwed up an order, the yumyum sauce is always on point; & no matter what time of day i go the order is always finished in about 15 minutes.

Overall good food. Good bang for your buck. Customer service is typical with a slightly rushed feeling. Most people pick up orders. They really should offer a delivery service. Only reason not a 5 star is because I ordered the expensive seafood dish one time and it was highly disappointing. Every other time has been a good experience.

Excellent food. Great customer service. Will return again

Great food and fast service!

Love the food here and they definitely specialize in take out. Wish they had salad with the Japanese Ginger dressing, but would still eat here time and time again!

I have now eaten at almost every Japanese spot in Lynchburg !!! Yamazoto is still officially my go to ! The steak is very tender and the pricing is for the steak and shrimp 🍤 is beyond resonable ! Keep up the good work.Sincerely, Customer for life

Food is amazing

It's great for takeout and never disappointed with my orders!! It's cheap and flavor is great! Hibachi chicken teriyaki is amazing too! Go to place !!

No, this isn't a frilly place but unlike the comment before, it IS very clean and the food is good. It's the best fast Hibatchi in the Burg. It might be a little "hole in the wall" but, I would be very happy to sit there on a date night and try their Lobster dish with my hubs. We've ordered from Yamazto for years.

Best Japanese in Lynchburg! Used to go to Osaka’s on Fort Avenue until they started charging what seems like double the price for their food. Never been disappointed with a meal from yamazatos though! Love their teriyaki chicken and filet mignon steak, and the yum yum is perfect! One time I picked an order up just to find out when I got home they had given me the wrong order. I went back and not only did they give me a fresh order they also let me keep the first order. Because of that i give them 5 stars!

The food is pretty good. Fast. Friendly.
