Can't go wrong coming to Yamato, from the staff to the food they have it all and the quality is like no other if your looking for a place to eat this is it!
Try the chicken wings or pad thai (that's what i usually get) but really everything is good!
On weekends they have great Dim-sum which is a must go just for the experience!
OMG! We moved from Vancouver to Salmon Arm and haven't found a really good Asian restaurant. This place is freakin' great. This atmosphere is good and the food is great! We will definitely travel from Salmon Arm to Kelowna to visit here again. We love it.
Awesome dim sum (with an actual cart going around), fantastic sushi (try the exotic roll) and Vietnamese (such good spring rolls) all under the same roof with a clean and inviting decor! What's not to love about this place? You can eat several different types of well prepared and delicious Asian food at once. I wish I could eat here everyday!
Excellent Dim Sum. We have been searching for a Dim Sum Restaurant that is as good as the ones found in Edmonton and now we have found it!
The food was excellent!
The only thing is that the lady behind the till (may be the owner?) could be a little nicer when you enter and maybe try a proper greeting and seem happy that you chose to come to her restaurant. The servers were very nice and polite though.
I hope this restaurant lasts on its good food because it would be sad to have it disappear due to impoliteness.
Amazing food, good portions, consistent taste, however the service is never the same and borders on terrible, I have been to Yamato more than 25 times and have sworn to never go back due to the service 3 times, but like a GF I always end up back in the door.
Good Sushi!. Good for Maki Rolls! Westside experience was way better then Kelowna. Westside has friendlier staff and a better atmosphere! :) Good place to get together with friends and share!
Food good, Service..well kinda crappy. I frequent this restaurant once a week. It is one of the best Japanese food restaurants in town. The service however is hit and miss usually a miss. The food is always fresh unlike some such as gengi and Ozeki. Best for lunch’ many business people know this.
I liked the variety. The sushi I had was good, but the dim sum was ok but not all dishes had same quality. The steamed shrimp dumplings were huge but the spicy squid wasn't fried long enough or the deep fryer wasn't set at the right temp since it was soggy not crispy. The Siew Mai dumplings were tasty and large. The sticky rice in the lily leaf was on the bland side. Chicken feet were flavorful & tender. I'd go again because there's many things on the menu I haven't tried.
Took the family for dinner last Saturday read some reviews but wanted to see for myself... And I am glad I gave it a chance! My family had sushi and a teriyaki dish while I had the red curry chicken!! I think it was the best curry I've ever had in Kelowna! And it came with yummy coconut rice :) servers were great, very helpful, and not too fancy. Will be back for sure!
Very nice sushi rolls for a quite reasonably priced and light lunch.
Had some delicious sushi and a chicken rice bowl. Dinner was fabulous as usual.
Update: We had Yamato cater for a large group. Excellent experience!

Yamato has had the best dim sum in Kelowna for years and my last visit it had only gotten better! Great portions, lots of variety, and delicious green tea to finish it off. Not to mention their regular sushi menu is also amazing - and their red curry! Quick friendly service make it really an amazing place to eat with something that will satisfy everyone!
^value for money and generous portion
the best Yang Chow fried rice i've ever had in Canada^
Yum yum yum! Regular customer. Definitely try there Dim sum on the weekend ! Don and his staff are always so lovely and professional! Always love trying something new here there menu is huge !
definitely the best asian food in Kelowna. Lived here for 10 years, finally ordered delivery today, very impressed. not usually a review guy but needed to help bump them up closer to 5-stars because this is the best option in Kelowna for sure. all the sushi was great, wor wonton soup was so good. Everything seemed really fresh and prepared very well
The food was excellent. We are new to Kelowna and we have now found our favourite sushi restaurant. Fresh, great portions. Recommend 100%
I stopped by for lunch and was surprised. The ice coffee was great and I believe they use Vietnamese coffee and the salt and pepper squid was excellent.
I will return.
The food is good, but not outstanding and fairly expensive. The service was definitely good, but again, not great. The atmosphere is pretty generic, but decent.
I do eat here fairly often with my pops as we both like Asian food and Yamato has a good selection of foods from across Asia. I do struggle with the pricing though, $18 for a rice noodle dish with tofu and some shredded veg is very high - I would say this would be okay if it was presented beautifully or the atmosphere was unique or the service was absolutely top notch, but I'm afraid not. I can make this same dish at home for $4 or less in 15 minutes so it's hard to spend $18 plus tax plus tip which comes to about $25. When minimum wage is $15 per hour this is almost 2 hours of work to pay this off!!!
We enjoyed the food here ever since we were introduced by my husband!
The teppanyaki is always awesome and the sushi?!? OMG! I love those!! Always!!
So far the best Malaysian curry I have tasted. Serving is huge and at a reasonable price!!
