Ramen noodle soups, sushi, and other Japanese fare served in a tranquil, traditional atmosphere.

Such a great experience! I ordered the kimchi pork don, kani salad, and edamame, everything was fresh and full of flavor. The pork don had the perfect balance of spice, and the strawberry ice cream mochi was the perfect sweet finish.
Michelle was amazing, so friendly and attentive. She really made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!

Three out of four of these meals that we had were good here. I had miso Ramen. It was very good and comparable to other Ramen places. Sushi was great. The teriyaki steak bento box left a lot to be desired, the steak had a very rubbery and shoot a texture that made it almost impossible to eat. Other than that, the atmosphere is great and the servers are OK.

Great spot to hit before Radio City. Friendly service from the minute we walked in. All staff acknowledged us throughout the meal and checked in. Fresh food and it came out quickly. Would go back. Good vibe and good spot to go with friends or alone.

We went into the city to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree and afterwards we were frozen. I looked for a place where we could get some hot noodle soup to defrost and found Yama. Luckily it’s only 2 blocks from Rockefeller Center. It’s a small cozy Japanese restaurant tucked away up a narrow flight of stairs from the street. Dont blink or you’ll miss it. The atmosphere is warm, modest, and authentic. The service was fast and friendly. And my tonkatsu ramen was delicious.

We had the pleasure of having Michelle as our server, and not only was the food amazing (got sushi rolls as our entree), but the service was exceptional too! Michelle was working through the snow storm which couldn’t have been easy, but still provided top notch service! Also, highly recommend the kale salad!

we went there on 12/28. I don’t know why the shop was already full but the boss still solicited more and more customers. As a result, the waiter just hang us there for thirty mins with no water. After 30 mins, the waiter finally noticed us that we haven’t ordered the meal. When the food came out, the ramen was warm not hot and the dumplings were cold. Overall this restaurant is so disappointing

The atmosphere is amazing, low tone music and very calm but still modern. The decor is very simple but add to the experience. We were looking for sushi in town and found many places claim to serve sushi but most were crab rolls. This place offered a variety of rolls, sashimi, and if you arnt looking for raw fish the ramen was great. The broth was rich with good flavor and the pork belly was tender not rubber I also enjoyed the 2 gals who helped us they were very welcoming and knew the menu well. Looking to escape the busy street for good food and a great atmosphere you found it here.

Excellent atmosphere. Excellent service. Delicious food. Had their restaurant week specials. Presentation of food was fantastic. The Kimchi ramen with chicken was very tasty, very filling. Timing of food and service was completely on point. Really cozy place, right down to the ambient mix of music playing in the background.
Editing to add pictures.

Solid spot. Ramen was legit, hit exactly right. But the real standout was our server Michelle. Super friendly, on point, and just genuinely great at what she does. Her recs were spot on, service was smooth, and she made the whole experience better without trying too hard. Easy place to come back to when you’re craving ramen in the city

This was a terrible dining experience. Our server, Jenny, was rude and insincere. Her fake smile quickly dropped the moment she turned away, and I caught her rolling her eyes more than once. Throughout the night, her behavior was consistently passive-aggressive, which made the entire experience uncomfortable.
The chicken teriyaki chicken was merely overcooked chicken pieces with a questionable, distasteful sauce drizzled on top. The tonkotsu ramen broth was disappointing. I recommend Shokudo for a better taste.
One of the most shocking moments was one of the chefs sneezing on the sushi bar, souring my appetite.
When I asked for the check, my guest and I were surprised to see the tip line crossed out. It turned out Jenny had quietly added a gratuity to the bill. When I asked if this was a new policy for two-person tables, she flatly said “no.” When I followed up to ask why she decided to do it tonight, she had no answer.
To top it all off, we were rushed out before I even received the dessert I ordered. Overall, it was one of the most unpleasant dining experiences I’ve had. I will not be returning.
