Yamato Steak House Of Japan: A Unique Dining Experience in Florence, KY

I visited this restaurant while on a trip to see my son in college, hoping to enjoy some fresh, high-quality food—and I was not disappointed! There are three main reasons I’d highly recommend this place: **1) The incredibly friendly staff and the fact that ROBOTS deliver your food, 2) The delicious food at a great value, and 3) The fantastic atmosphere with relaxing music.** Let’s start with the robots—yes, actual robots bring your food to the table! They even have little faces and can talk a bit, which added a futuristic and entertaining touch to the experience. Of course, the human staff were also friendly and welcoming, making the service even better. Now, onto the food. I ordered the chicken and rice, while my son got a hibachi combination, and we were both thoroughly impressed. The portions were generous, the flavors were spot-on, and for the price, it felt like a steal. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a warm and inviting ambiance. The subtle background music created the perfect dining atmosphere—not too loud, just enough to enhance the experience. Overall, this was more than just a meal—it was an experience! Between the great food, friendly service, and high-tech touches, I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I visit.

Deep fried crab Rangoon roll $14, tuna and avacado rolls $5 and Hibachi Chicken Dinner $17 (comes with fried rice, tempura vegetables, miso soup and salad). It feeds me and my child, with leftovers for later. Friendly service, clean tables and great tasting food! You can buy sauces to take home too!

Very exceptional Japanese restaurant! Of course had to check out the all you can eat -First impressions: the staff were very welcoming and the seating area looks very nice, decorative, and loved the music playing, with a few glimpses into the kitchen, everything looked clean and organized! -Appetizers were amazing, miso soup was spot on, and the crab Rangoon and Gyoza were very delicious! -Sushi was very spot on, loved every roll, the Fuji roll took me by surprise with how well the ingredients were together, the Philly role was a bit lacking as it only included salmon and cream cheese, I would like to see some cucumbers added to give it more texture, but other than that I absolutely loved the sushi! The “hibachi”was very good as well, just keep in mind that when you order from the all you can eat, it’s just the meat so you have to order either rice or noodles with it as well. -Only “downsides” I saw: the robot that delivers your food needed to be washed up a little bit as it looked pretty greasy and grimy. Let’s talk about the price, roughly $28, an incredibly high price for an all you can eat lunch. Granted, they only have one price throughout the day. Definitely would recommend a lower lunch price as the restaurant was absolutely dead around 2pm. For $28 I would expect more variety on the menu, disappointed in the number of raw fish sushi items. I understand there isn’t much competition for the all-you-can-eat sushi places in this area, but I feel the price isn’t justifiable. I would consider expanding the selection on the AYCE menu, or lowering the price. In my opinion $18 is a perfect price for the experience I had. Even though I rated this place 5 stars, I didn’t feel like my money was well spent. However, I’m only giving this advice as I noticed we were the only customers in the dining area at this time, lowering this price to be more appealing to customers will definitely increase the business! Overall I loved my experience and hope to see this place grow! If the owners see this, feel free to reach out to me for more ideas as I would love to help out the business!

First time here from out of town, what separates this restaurant from other similar sushi enterprises was purely the service and food. Not only when I finished my plate was the server right there taking care of the plate and asking what else I needed. Food was fantastic and if you can eat a lot of sushi, why not get all-you-can eat option. Would recommend anyone to this place, very clean inside and very friendly service!

The food was great. It took a while for our drinks to be refilled, but the server got to it when he could. The robot delivery system is adorable. There's an all-you-can-eat option with as many rounds as you need. Just don't over order or you'll have to pay extra on top of the almost $30. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely worth to stop by and eat an amazing sushi!!! Size of the sushi is great! Special sushi - huge Taste - yum yum yum Service - very friendly Thank you Yamato

Always our go-to when visiting family in Florence. The ingredients are fresh and cooked to order. The service is also delightful. Plus, they have a polite robot that brings your order to the table so that the server is able to attend to the other guests. Highly recommended!!!

It was awesome we went for my 15th birthday and it was the best birthday so far also my mom loved the robot so much she asked for another plate of dumplings just for it so come back :)
