Sushi Yama — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

While the sushi is generally good, if not a bit warm at times, and relatively cheap I absolutely cannot recommend this place. To put it mildly there was a MAGGOT in the soy sauce at my table. When brought to the attention of the owner he first claimed that it was NO BIG DEAL and I should just grab a bottle off of a vacant table. Then he had the audacity to claim that it was not a maggot but just 'a weird air bubble' when a customer had come in behind me (I showed her the picture I took and she was disgusted). Not only that but it took over an hour to receive two simple rolls and I did not receive the order of tea I had purchased until I had given three reminders and I was nearly done with my food.

If you're going here only for rolls, maybe it's not so bad as I haven't tried those. But for sushi, NEVER come here as they don't even know what a sushi is. Go to another nearby sushi...

AMAZING. Hands down the BEST sushi place I have ever found. In the low level floor of an office building such a random place but it is the BEST miso soup I’ve ever had. Well done.

Wonderful selection on the menu. Me and my bf came here for our parting lunch before we drove back to saginaw, and the sushi master chef even gave us a little candy as a thank you gift. Tip them well they...
