Yama Sushi Noodle Bar — Restaurant in Sheffield

One of the best restaurants in Sheffield hands down. This place is an absolute hidden gem at the moment and a must visit for anyone who enjoys Japanese food. I'm a bit fan of Japanese food, and this place offers some of the most authentic and delicious Japanese food I've ever had in the UK. Me and my wife keep coming back, and everythng we've tried has been excellent, but the sushi and ramen are absolutely top notch. The chef does a great job and the quality of the ingredients really comes through. There's some really tasty and creative sushi options (the summer rolls are so good) and loads of other options on the menu if your not into sushi (brilliant katsu). You can tell it's a real passion project and the atmosphere really reflects that- it feels really comfortable and homely but you can still eat your meal in peace (which can sometimes be a difficult in smaller venues.) If you love Japanese food, you'll love this place- and if you've never tried it before, this will be an amazing first experience. Definitely recommend it for a date, meal out with friends or even just eating alone. It's brilliant value as well- plenty of meals under £10 which is hard to find, especially at this quality. Really rate this restaurant and it's an absolute asset to Sheffield- definitely...

This has become a favourite of ours and often travel the 45 minutes to get here. Over the past 10 years or so, the food has never failed.

The restaurant has recently changed hands and is now a halal restaurant. Whilst that in itself doesn’t make a difference to me, I was surprised (due to my lack of knowledge) that this means no alcohol on site whatsoever.

The reason for the 2* review? Service is poor to say the least. Whilst the owner is friendly enough, customer service leaves something to be desired. Almost 30 minutes from being seated to taking a drinks order (restaurant had 8 covers to look after). One drink was all we were getting as we were never asked again…. Importantly, for me, it’s the lack of attention that makes it disappointing. The owner is incredibly focused on leaning on the counter using his mobile phone rather than ensuring that his customers are attended to. Honestly, nice enough chap, but terrible service. Such a shame as this has been a long time favourite…

Ambience and authenticity also disappearing with new decor...

Having eaten here several times over the last few years my friend and I have always been really pleased with this restaurant.

Upon our most recent visit we realised that it is now under new management and although the food is as exceptional as ever, I assume the old kitchen staff are still here, unfortunately, the authenticity of the place no longer seems to be.

I always enjoyed a Japanese beer with my food and was disappointed to find that they no longer serve alcohol, we had to wait nearly 20 mins before the owner brought us a menu during which time I would have enjoyed the Japanese decor were it not for being sat next to a bright green neon sign declaring that they are now ‘halal’!!

On a positive note, it is good that you can now pay by card!

As previously mentioned, the food is still fantastic, which leaves me in an awkward position whereby if I want good sushi I have to sit in a place I don’t really want to be.

Not sure if I’ll be...
