This place deserves much more love… what a hidden 💎 inside a strip mall. We are big foodies who have been to Tokyo, I was shocked when this no frills sushi spot had Unagi Don on par with what we had in Japan. Also, all of the fish we had was excellent. I would not listen to any of these clowns that gave 1 star reviews and said that everything was frozen haha… they don’t know what they’re talking about. Highly recommend trying it out!

★★★★★ 5.0 Gina Martyn · Feb 2026

Wow, portions and quality were amazing. It’s not often we need a to-go box for sushi, we can normally put away 4 rolls an a couple appetizers, but this place is superb and we couldn’t finish it all. Luckily we have a fridge. Good parking, not far from Kona town, and the hamachi was SOOOOO tender and buttery it was the best I’ve ever had. Didn’t get any pics of that, but the 3-piece sashimi was HUGE also. Wish I had, you won’t believe me unless you order it! From L-R, Rainbow, caterpillar, and something mango roll. Yama roll was probably my favorite, though they were all good! Great prices for what you get.

It’s no surprise that the best sushi is found in unassuming places. Yama was incredible. Fresh, generous portions, beautiful presentation - artistry!, prompt service and friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

★★★★★ 5.0 Simone Mikulinsky · Feb 2026

This place was genuinely the best sushi I’ve ever had. The presentation was phenomenal and the fish was incredibly fresh. The only thing is they brought the food out individually as they made it not when it was all done, but the service is still wonderful and so well worth it. It’s a must visit

★★★★★ 5.0 Melanie B. · Jan 2026

Stopped here hoping for a quick, light meal, and were so impressed how great it was! The edamame was some of the best we’ve ever had. The rolls were huge and incredibly fresh. The staff was super kind. Great spot, would totally visit again!!
