YamaChen Sushi continuously seeks ways to offer delicious tasting Japanese cuisine in an inviting and warm atmosphere.
We started as a family business that first opened our door in 2003. Calling ourselves as just Yama at the time, we only had four tables, truly being just a hole in the wall. Through an arduous process of many trials and errors, Andy Chen was able to perfect the now YamaChen menu to that we know today. Each day, for our customers, Andy Chen brainstormed ways to improve the quality of our food, from our in house sauce to our fish providers, creating the signature YamaChen rolls that solidify our place in the restaurant sphere. He believes that his success is due to his motto: Freshness, Sincerity, and Generosity.

Visited here and had a wonderful time along with a wonderful meal. The sushi was great. My husband ordered the volcano and it was good. I would say that if you like tempura, this would be a perfect combination. I had the vegetarian sushi and it was delicious. The service was good and very attentive for a Sunday afternoon. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for something tasty and fast. Keep in mind that it’s a small place. So, please don’t expect a lot of room.

The food was honestly so great! I ordered sashimi-high quality and spicy California roll and every was was so good!! Thai teas was so great!!! I loved every single thing. The small detail to this restaurant is I think what really sold me. Utensils are packages and sealed and so are the chopsticks. I ordered my drink in the end and they gave it to me in a Togo cup. Everything was so thoughtful. Service was 1000/1000 so welcoming as soon as you walk in, they were so sweet and attentive. The decorations way too cute. I would definitely go back. It’s a must try!!!

This place is absolutely amazing! So much attention to detail, from the ambience of the decor, and even the uniforms, to the beautiful plating, everything is top notch. For the menu, be prepared for a lot of crab as 90% of the rolls include that as a ingredient. We were greeted by a very friendly server with a complementary plate of chilled edamame, and while our meal did not come with complementary salad and soup as most sushi establishments do, I ordered the miso soup, and it was probably the best I have ever had! $1.95 is definitely worth the “splurge”. Our meal surprised us with complementary egg rolls that were fresh and yummy, the sushi was all amazing and beautifully presented, and once again we were surprised with delicious cheesecake bites at the end with our bill. If I was forced to make a criticism, it would be that the wasabi could use more kick. You must try out Yamachen’s today!!!

Overall great experience. From restaurant layout to the food. We ordered seaweed salad, miso soup, sushi combo of Hawaiian rolls and spicy salmon rolls, teriyaki chicken, and Thai boba iced tea. I surprisingly liked the seaweed salad, was sweet. Sushi were delicious, although the spicy salmon roll wasn’t that spicy. Also got complimentary edamame, spring rolls, and 2 small pieces of cheesecake. All very good as well. Will definitely be back again

If you are looking for an awesome sushi place then this is the place to be! When we sat down they already gave us on the house edamame which was awesome to begin the experience with. We ordered tempura shrimp and it had the most magnificent sauce to dip it in. I couldn’t describe it. You just got to try. Their house salad has the awesome ginger dressing as well. We also order boat combination number 2. I mean from the picture you can see how fulfilling it was. We had to take it home. In between, they even gave us veggie spring roll on the house. All the food we tried had awesome full flavors and you could tell they weren’t holding back with their ingredients. I’m coming back here often since it isn’t too far from Vienna wow =) so try them out!!

The service is kind but the food is a little bit slow. The sushi here is in bigger size. I personally think the flavor can be more. The Spring rolls are very yummy tasty treat from the house! The chicken of fried noodle was surprisingly tender, my husband love it. Chicken Ramen soup is not salty, so we like it. For the Ramen if it can be more chewy, I will like it more. Over all, we are satisfied and will come back again.

This is *not* traditional sushi. If that was the only issue here I wouldn’t have left one star. The sushi here is just bad. The service was great and we were even given a couple different dishes free on the house but it simply wasn’t good. One of the free things we were given were some spring rolls that were warm on the outside but cold on the inside, almost as if someone just microwaved them before they gave them out… very little flavor. The sushi was really sweet and experimental. Definitely not a place to go if your looking for authentic sushi.
