The food was sooooo good and fresh. I got the Koko roll and shared with my two family members who also got rolls, Yakisoba and miso soup. The fish tasted great and the sauces were very flavorful! And there was a pretty good amount for the price! The people severing were so kind and kept checking up on us.

We’ve lived in the area for 20 years and tried EVERY sushi place within a 15 min drive and Yamame is hands down the best. Fish is always fresh and super high quality. Owner always on-site to make things perfect. Love the post-Covid outside patio area.

Very nice food, service and vibe. The Yamame sashimi plate was fresh and delicious. The cuts were thick, which allows one to actually taste the fish as one have to chew more. I liked the presentation as well, very natural and creative. The only issue I found was that it was a bit pricey. The yakisoba was well done and was not as sweet and drenched in teriyaki sauce. I liked the wooden bowl it was served in. Karage chicken was probably my favorite here, well fried, crunch on the outside and juicy on the inside. I could taste the chicken that was well seasoned. The edamame was decent, but the portion could be more generous. The udon was a bit disappointing, although the noodles were chewy and seemed fresh. The soup base was a bit flat, having no depth or “udon” flavor, just salty and soy sauce flavor. Tempura was pretty well done, except that sweet potatoes were still a bit hard, which means it could have used a few more seconds in the fryer. Overall, it was pleasant and good, especially the servers were trying their best to be as friendly as possible although they were swamped, and my server took a bit long to bring out the appetizer gioza, as well as extra napkins.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner here after a walk around the lake. We had the Wahu and Gimo special rolls and they were superb! Fresh and masterfully crafted. This is our new favorite Sushi place.

Best local alternative to Oshima Sushi in Orange! This is somewhat RSM’s best kept secrets – a little gem tucked away in a corner by the RSM Lake. The sushi is fairly priced for the quality, Now that’s to say that the $$$ is fully Justified. If you’re looking for inexpensive sushi, this is not the place for you.. maybe find an AYCE sushi or grab the Tuesday night deals at Sushi by the lake in Mission Viejo. Plus, it’s in RSM .

I definitely enjoyed this restaurant! There weren’t many people dining (understandable since it has only been open a few weeks) so everyone was very attentive. The food was delicious and the homemade ice cream is a must!
