A nice combination of the classics with a unique twist of its own. Fish was very fresh, rolls delicious, and service very friendly. The ambiance is very inviting – urban cool with warm touches. One thing to note. Google maps offers a Reservation option via Open Table but it always says that there are no tables. That is not accurate, the restaurant currently doesn’t take reservations, that is why OpenTable never comes up with an opening.

Been coming here for years! Always so good. Some of the freshest fish in the city. Pricey but definitely worth it.

I came here for date night and while I did love some things I had here I had one issue… I love a good belly cut of tuna or salmon and always order it. At Yama they leave a layer of the “silver skin” on their cuts of toro for both salmon and tuna. This issue in texture can be found in other reviews as well. Toro is such a buttery melt in your mouth cut but that gets ruined by the chewy almost crunchy silver skin in my opinion. I know chefs like to leave it on for a contrast in texture and flavor but I hate the texture and taste. I will be back, but won’t order my belly cuts again. Service was wonderful. Our server got a 25% tip. She was lovely.
I ordered:
1. The special tuna flight sashimi (silver skin/membrane were on all the cuts) I definitely did not like this plate.
2. The special Toro (tuna) shashimi. The first order did not have silver skin so I LOVED it. The second order did and I was not a fan of how chewy it was.
3. The Yuzu Hamachi roll. A pretty good roll. Unfortunately my favorite restaurant does a version of this they call the Yuzu Hama roll and it blows Yama’s out of the water.
4. The salmon toro sashimi. Again the silver skin ruins it for me. But some pieces had less than others so I did enjoy one.
5. Unagi nigiri. No one can mess up unagi. Always a good bite.
6. We did order the SAB app which was bacon wrapped shishito peppers. They didn’t have a lot of flavor in my opinion.
My bf orderd the chicken karage, kobe saikoro steak (it’s served with mushrooms which he hates, but they aren’t mentioned on the menu), and grilled asparagus. He liked everything.

Loved eating here, soft music was playing, food came quick! I ate here by myself with my 2 young sons. Staff was accommodating to the kids and provided kid friendly chopsticks to help them eat.

First time here, everything was great. I love the Uni, I ordered it twice Akimo no smell at all. The lobster bake rolls were a bit too greasy for me, a lot of mayonnaise sauce. White fish carpaccio was delicious too. After swallowing, the sesame fragrance lingers in the mouth.

The sushi here is always top notch, super fresh and delicious. Get the salmon sampler and the ahi tuna tower! All the rolls are great, and even their hot house saki was decent..they were out of more than half of the Japanese whiskies on their menu, so that was a bummer. They forgot our miso soup too. Even so, what we did have was really great and I will keep going back.

Some of the best quality sashimi in town. Rolls are excellent w Cali roll made w real crab. I highly recommend this place if looking for quality sushi.

A great spot for some fresh sushi! Try to arrive before the lunch/dinner rush otherwise you might end up waiting for a table. The deluxe sushi meals offer good value for money and variety of fish. The staff are really friendly and helpful.
