The foods are fresh and delicious. Nick is an exceptional waiter and he makes our dining experiences more enjoyable. We had a great time there. We would come back soon.
It is hard to find good service in 2023. At Yama, the service is amazing. The waiter was friendly, respectful and professional.
The food was good. I will describe it as Americanized Asian cuisine.
Best sushi in charlotte hands down. Maya is our go to waitress! The guys at the sushi bar are some of the nicest chefs out there! Always feel taken care of when we go to Yama!
Excellent Japanese restaurant! I truly enjoy eating at both locations in Charlotte.
I'm between 4 and 5 stars. I like the space and overall atmosphere, and my first impression of the sushi is that it's pretty good. Certainly an above average nigiri list and all the fish I had were quite fresh. The uni in particular was quite good.
With that said - considering the greater Charlotte
I have been to every restaurant in Waverly except Yama, so I had to check it out. I went there for lunch and ordered the spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls, and they were very good. My date ordered the Chicken Teriyak, and she enjoyed it. The next time I come back to Yama, I will go for dinner.
Vary, nice experience. Highly recommend the magic rolls and crunchy. I also liked the fried calamari.
YAMA cleanliness, amazing staff, and delicious food are the few leading reasons why I enjoy returning to this restaurant!! Compared to some places, my family and I felt Welcomed every time we walked into this restaurant!! Aaron in particular, has demonstrated implacable mannerism and professionalism
We came here for lunch on a Friday and it was decently busy.
They have a patio, but unfortunately, they only put a few tables out there even though it's mostly empty and there is plenty of space for more. This seems like an odd choice when there is nice weather and there's a pandemic that makes eat
4.5 rounded up, -0.5 stars overall for slow service and value for money
Food: 5/5
Everything was delicious. If you’re looking for legit, amazing sushi/sashimi, this is it. Quality fish and fantastic execution. Tuna totoro was definitely the star of dinner.
Service: 4/5
We were seated promptly even
I don’t eat sushi often at all. But I thought the food here was excellent, lots of options and felt very healthy overall. Would definitely go back.
I was in Shallotte, NC for the weekend with my love. This place was pack by 5:30 pm. The waiting time for the table will be 25-30 minutes. We decided to sit outside and our orders came fairly quickly. The sushi was AMAZINGLY Fresh!! Every dish that we orders were delicious, my love agreed and he
Great atmosphere with a large open space. Service was fantastic. Apps and sushi were really good. Definitely will be back. Parking can be a pain in Waverly but it's worth the walk.
YUM! Sushi was A++ Overall everything was fresh, portions, presentation and service were great. Found our new sushi spot.
Kids loved the edamame, kalbi (although it was a low ratio of meat to fat and bone), and especially the udon noodles with just sauce, no veggies. The udon had a nice chewy texture and we ordered another serving. We had the nigata roll, spider roll and naughty akami. All of it was good.
Edit: the
Decent amount of parking.
Waiters are friendly.
The food tastes great, I highly recommend the Maison sushi roll (maybe I spelt it around). Sushi was kind of better than the other teryaki dishes.
Only reason I gave 4 not 5 was because the slow service, it wasn't even a weekend, it was a Tuesday nigh
Nice little spot. Enjoyed my experience. I was sat at the sushi bar. My sushi and waitress were great. I’d love to come back and try one of their hibachi or stir fry dishes. Very clean restaurant as well.
