Yamato

The restaurant selection in New /​Albany is a little limited. We saw this place and decided to give it a try. We are not real big on sushi but they had hibachi dinners so we had a chicken and a filet mignon/​shrimp. Both were very tasty and well prepared. They included soup and salad. Service was good.
Give ‘em a try!

Good Japanese food in New Albany? Yes! We were driving through on our way to GA and found this little gem along the way. Their lunch specials during the week are a fantastic deal (Lunch Bento boxes from $ 6.99), the food was good, and the service was friendly!
If you’re looking for a nice Japanese place in New Albany, give it a try!

Everything I’ve eaten has been the best ever. The sushi is fresh, beautifully prepared, and tasty. The habachi is excellent. Try it because it is worth the drive.

New York and Las Vegas have Nobu for sushi, New Albany, Mississippi has Yamato and it is splendid! Fresh, tasty sushi, at affordable prices. The rolls are oversized compared to other sushi places. The service is good. The ambiance is the only thing lacking at this delicious eatery but you can’t eat ambiance!

Nice surprise to see a sushi restaurant in new albany! It’s really good! Everything we get at our local sushi establishment, just that this one has even better service!

Great Japanese food was a wonderful surprise in new Albany as we passed through. Casual ambiance and good service. Fresh ingredients and affordable. Would go again and recommend to anyone passing through.

Fantastic food and great value. Sushi is great, hibachi even better. Nothing exotic, but great everyday dining.

I was very surprised with their quality. I judge a place by how the salmon and yellowtail melt in my mouth! This place had really good quality and melted perfectly! The cut was perfect size and the rolls were delicious. If you are hesitating trying it because of location… DON’T! You will be happy! The selection is limited, but all the staple fish are here along with Kirin. Atmosphere is pretty small town but that is expected. Keep up the good work management and staff! And kudos to the Sushi Chef!

Glad the lights was pretty cause seriously what the hell is this, OMG I HAVE NEVER SEEN, one of my favorite restaurants make my beef soba in such a crappy way. It’s dry, flavorless and seriously where’s the mushrooms and beef I practically only got noodles. I will not be eating here again and that’s for real for real!!!

Can you believe this? A great Japanese restaurant in a middle of nowhere.
Great everything! From sushi to hibachi beef and shrimp and even tempura.
The sushi are fresh and large. It covers whole rice and once you bite into it, you will not believe you are in a middle of Mississippi eating a high grade sushi. From fatty tuna to white tuna.
They also have soft shell crabs and a «Kabuki» a very small black fish roe and it is not salty like a caviar. Awesome texture, pops in your mouth when you bite into it.
I can’t believe how great this place is. The only thing they don’t serve is Ramen. Other than that this place is gem!
Inside looks pretty modern, not overdone with Japanese paraphernalia; tone down. More like a neat diner.
Service is great. The staff were very attentive and nice.
And one more thig, the prices is at least 20% less than a regular Japanese restaurant. That means it is very friendly to your pocket book.
We usually eat hamburger or Taco Bell whenever we are traveling this highway. But not anymore, we will definitely come back if we’re traveling this way again.
