Yama Sushi & Izakaya

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.

The hostess and overall feel of the restaurant was very nice and spoke of an elegant sushi restaurant! Unfortunately that was the extent of the good experience we felt, even for a Saturday night, the waitress only came by twice, once for the drinks, and once to bring our food. My wife and I got the sashimi deluxe and while most of the fish was great, unfortunately the salmon was cut from the tail end and the texture just made it inedible. I don’t think we’ll be visiting again if we visit the area

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 T

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.
