I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting places to try and I’ve been to my fair share of seafood places. But I’ve never had anything like the seafood at Yama Sushi place. Absolutely smashing! It’s not just a restaurant, it’s an experience. Authentic moments, laughter, and food that hits the mark, it’s a rare gem indeed.

Thus far, THE best sushi within 10 miles. What is the fundamental characteristic of good sushi? It is the freshness of the fish and ingredients. This restaurant easily exceeded this expectation. Weekends get busy. So arrive early if you want a table facing the lake. Service was good. Miso is extra.

Its a shame the view outside is nice but the inside is very dated and simple. The staff is extremely nice but short staffed for dinner, had to wait 5-10 min to get someone’s attention for container and check. Food is okay, way too much sauce on shishito peppers (gave me credit) and baked salmon. Broth in udon soups are nice. I will try again and update

We came in for a reservation but had to make it to-go due to a medical issue with a family member. The staff were so helpful, kind, patient, and attentive.

The hubby and I got their Don’s Prex Fixe Course Menu for a special date night instead of our usual rolls (the ginja roll is iur favorite). We were seated at one their tables right by the edge of the balcony and the view was beautiful and relaxing. Everything was perfection, from the service down to the quality of all the food served that day. We did get there early and beat the dinner rush so may want to keep that in mind. Also, since it’s by the water, there may be those nats flying about depending on the time of day, in which case you may want to be seated further in. Highly recommend.

Very disappointed. Ordered for delivery so no opportunity to return or questions the items delivered. Spent $65 for a Wagyu steak. The meat was darker, less fatty, and tougher than the meat that came with the teriyaki steak bowl. The Tataki roll that was supposed to have seared albacore on top had a red tuna on top, definitely not albacore. This is the 2nd time we have been disappointed and delivered items other than what the menu described. We will not eat here again. We spent almost $300 tonight for a birthday celebration. DISAPPOINTING at least

You have to try their Langostino roll! Also recommend the black cod. Great views, food, and customer service. The perfect place for a celebration or just a random weeknight dinner. Mostly locals here and has a very local vibe. Our party of 6 ranging in ages from 14-75 left full and satisfied!

I had the Salmon and my wife the Chilean Sea Bass. Both were excellent. Great miso soup and a salad with a very chilled sesame dressing.

Having been recommended by a friend, my family and I decided to try eating at Yama Sushi for dinner. From the moment we opened the door, we were hit with a warm and positive aura and an amazing view! The surrounding lake is quite therapeutic and relaxing for one to gaze at while dining. The setting is very reminiscent of Lake Como in Italy. The fusion of cultures provides diversity and this is shown through the chef’s culinary mastery. The sushi was the greatest and the warmth of the environment is unlike any other! The presentation of the sushi was beautiful and the taste was the greatest. Must try!

They were very accommodating to sit us outside on the lake. I would have gladly given them 5 stars but they they were slow and unattentative when it came to ordering and waiting for the food to come. Don’t know if it was because of the combination of being busy and/or lack of enough servers, but they made up for it in the quality of their sushi. Fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.
