Yama Sushi House

My new favorite sushi place! Stepped in for happy hour and only 2 other tables were seated. Got a high top table to myself and ordered some gyoza to start. Got three different sushi rolls and my bill was around $30. Which I count as an absolute win! My server was so incredibly nice and didn’t mind at all that I was by myself.

This is the place for an incredible happy hour (2-6pm every day)! I have been here a few times and have loved the food, service, and ambiance every time. Their spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy crab are so great, especially when they are $4/roll during HH. Some of their specialty rolls are $7/roll during HH. You can’t beat the quality and price during this time. I highly recommend their happy hour for a late lunch or early dinner! I’ll definitely be back!

The food is absolutely amazing. It is high quality, fresh, and full of gentle flavor. The location is nice with tasteful decorations but there is almost no parking. This location is understaffed so service takes a long time (10 mins for a requested water refill). Note that seating is limited so you may want to call ahead about a reservation. If you have time to sit and talk, you may have to be a little louder than usual, but this would be the perfect place. It is refined, suitable for a little more than casual to light formal.

Great sushi. Some places make my stomach feel a little off, but not this one. I love that they’re open on Sunday!!! Every other sushi place around us is closed on Sunday. I highly suggest this place. Would given 5 stars…. I do wish they had more parking and more spicy tuna roll options, but they always accommodate us with customizing how we want the rolls. The windows, soy sauce bottles, handles, bathrooms, and menus especially, are always incredibly dirty.

Writing this review because of how amazing the salmon skin roll was! I’m always on the hunt for a good crispy salmon roll and Yama definitely surpassed my expectations. There’s a lunch special from 11-2pm which involves a roll and 5 pieces of nigiri for $12, and then every day from 2-6 there’s a happy hour menu. I came at 1:45 and got the best of both worlds. Probably worth 5 stars by most people’s standards, and they are definitely there. However I’ve had a really mean server the first time I came (today my server was lovely) and the parking is extremely difficult due to limited spaces — hence my 4 stars. Will probably be back to rate 5 stars and also try more of their specialty rolls because they all look super aesthetically pleasing. Seems like a great date spot, love the open patio.

Everything I had was so very good! Honestly can't wait to go back and try more. I did mostly sushi but the green mussels are a MUST. The Green River Roll is fantastic and probably my favorite from this visit. I got the seafood noodles and I was much too much curry for me but if you enjoy the curry flavors than you'll truly enjoy it. The sake sangria is such a treat definitely get it. **Parking is a little tricky. If they are full then you have to park on a side street or parking lot down the road
