I have to ask you a question. Have you ever heard of all-you-can-eat sushi? Well, it's finally arrived, my friends. And when you spend supper money at Yama Sushi, you are helping the restaurant continue in the tradition of AYCE sushi restaurants in the Las Vegas area. This place is uniquely positioned in the AYCE market due to several factors that have been working in its favor. One factor is how it is basically located within the Chinatown area. This lends a copious amount of street cred to their already fantastic legacy. Now, let's be honest. Can you imagine how many sushi rolls they are making for the customers when the customers are ordering all-you-can-eat and really going to town as far as how many rolls and appetizers they are consuming? I'm sure they are staying busy back there in the sushi kitchen. I walked by. I saw plenty of fresh fish, so no problem there. On the menu is where you will find out that they have several rolls to choose from. One of them is called the crazy roll. Can you imagine? But don't stop there. Do you like appetizers? The answer is usually always yes. And when you go for it AYCE style, they let you get your choice of appetizers to augment your sushi experience. Not everyone offers that level of service at the price point that was published on the menu. Are you ready for this? It's quite the deal! I took pictures of all the best parts, so be sure to have a look. I think you will like them very much. If you like beer in a pitcher, then you are not alone. And that has to provide some level of comfort, measurable or not. I got so full after the sushi, but I still ate the pistachio ice cream. It was so yummy and creamy, and because it was pistachio, it was extra-tasty based on the flavor of the pistachios that they inserted into the ice cream base. Then, on the way home, I ate 2 candy bars. Completely unnecessary for sure. But that Cadbury fruit and nut one, I just can't get enough. They should serve those in more locations throughout the city and beyond. When the check finally arrived, I was basically done eating anyway. That's the perfect time, to be honest with you. I hope this review helped you decide what to order. If not, please let me know in the comments section below.

We are what some would call more than regulars at Yama sushi. We've been going to same location on flamingo for over 7 years. So when we found out another location was opening we were super excited about it and couldn't wait to try. When we arrived to the Plaza it is located in, I was extremely disappointed in the availability for parking. There was absolutely no parking whatsoever. I know it's China Town and it usually always busy but dang. Once we entered I was pleased to find that waiting area was so spacious compared to the original location. The original has a bench inside that seats maybe 5 people and some benches outside. Anyways very pleased with the waiting area. As I walked in I was also pleased to find how big and spacious the entire restaurant was. I'm used to being elbow to elbow. Here however was very roomy. I was also so so happy to see booths. The waiters were very nice and prompt as always. And the food was great. Which I was hoping it would be. And so it was. I just wish that they had like a sushi bar in the middle of the room since they have room to do that. This location overall is pretty great but again the parking sucks balls! I'd come back with friends. But maybe carpool.

I recently visited the sushi restaurant Yama with high hopes, as it had received good ratings on maps. However, my experience there turned out to be nothing short of a disaster. I had decided to try it out on a bustling Saturday night with a group of three. Initially, we were promptly seated, which was a positive start to the evening. We eagerly ordered the all-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi option along with some drinks. Unfortunately, from the moment our sushi orders arrived, everything went downhill. The quality of the food was absolutely dreadful. The rice tasted stale and old, the fish was far from fresh, and even the seaweed was oddly chewy. As someone who has frequented sushi restaurants for years, I have never encountered such an abysmal dining experience. In an attempt to address our concerns, we requested to speak with a manager. To our dismay, a person named James came to our table. We expressed our dissatisfaction and disappointment with the quality of the sushi, hoping for a resolution. However, James response left much to be desired. He simply apologized but claimed that there was little he could do to rectify the situation. In fact, he bluntly stated that we could either pay and leave or endure the dreadful meal. Such dismissive customer service was deeply disheartening. Given the plethora of fantastic AYCE sushi establishments in the area, I implore you to avoid Yama at all costs. It is clear that they do not prioritize the quality of their ingredients or the satisfaction of their customers. We paid the full price for our disappointing meal and promptly decided to head to another AYCE sushi restaurant instead, where we were met with a far superior dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to Yama was marked by terrible sushi, lackluster customer service, and an overall unpleasant atmosphere. I strongly urge you to explore other options in the area that offer delightful AYCE sushi, as there are plenty of superior alternatives available. Spare yourself the disappointment and frustration by steering clear of Yama. Furthermore, I failed to mention that our dissatisfaction with the sushi at Yama was so severe that we could only manage to eat two pieces each before we decided to address the issue with the manager. It is not an exaggeration to say that the quality was so abysmal that it was practically inedible. Despite our best efforts to convey our disappointment to the manager, we were met with a complete lack of concern or willingness to resolve the matter. This disregard for customer satisfaction only further intensified our frustration and solidified our decision to leave the restaurant and seek a better dining experience elsewhere.

Honestly. They stopped actually serving cooked (or described as "grilled salmon skin” according to the menu) salmon in their Salmon Skin Roll... And then they thought they made it better by drowning the replacement roll with the eel sauce they forgot to put on the first roll. Something was so off about it. I could taste the jelly texture of the skin in my mouth. Ew. I took it apart. Raw and nasty and jelly like. Then all of a sudden (like super sudden) I get served a new roll covered in candy eel sauce they forgot to put on the first one. Honestly, it looks like the wise Asian owner sold this place to a Caucasian owner and operations are lacking in light of the next great depression. Also. If you choose to order the "Baked Mussel", you need to be sure to state that you would like it served "medium well" 👍 (according to the waitress). Otherwise, expect cold mayo slapped on a raw mussel 😉. Change the prices since you changed the owners (I AM JUST ASSUMING) and since you lowered the quality of food here. Lose money💯. And for Buddha sake, this is a food establishment. Not a night club. I mean yes. We love to wiggle while we eat, but only when quality delicious food is being served to us. So low the damn volume down please. It was 7pm. We are off the strip. Not on the strip. I guess they need to do that so we cannot hear the disappointment in the quality of food being served.

I am in shock this place doesn't have a line out the door and around the corner. The service is above and beyond quick friendly professional and spot on. The food is excellent quality flavor and menu variety is extensive. Sexy Grandpa nametag carries a smooth flawless operation and every single person is happy here. The place is clean good ambiance and you get seated right away. I was by myself and still got offered table or booth but chose the bar. Teletobi made sure I was never waiting for a plate. I had plates I would have never ordered at some sushi places..as they are not exactly sushi but but since here you can choose AYCE alternative all you can eat and it is not a buffet bar...it is AYCE plate by plate freshly made. I had the greatest seafood salad y Hamachi Kama. Be adventurous and try some plates. Read what is in it ....as you should not leave food uneaten. Common courtesy to keep the good operation of the place. The value the experience the flavors of there were six stars I would give it. This place at either of its two locations is a must. Spring mountain location closes 2am for late night bites while Flamingo location closes at 11pm. Tip well!

Welcome to Yama Sushi. We'd like a booth please. Yes follow me. Here's your disgusting booth. And all the other booths were like this. * Eel was cold ... * Ignored after 30 minutes * Forgot to bring 2 beers * At 50 minutes we ordered our last dish and figured we'd try the eel once more. Not only cold again, but old. I truly believe they served us really old eel to get us out. I mean it was bad, rubbery, stale and all chewed up. Nasty. Won't go back ever. Dishes beside the eel were ok. Atmosphere was nice. Didn't get a chance to check out the bathroom, as that's my acid test for a restaurant's cleanliness. At this point, I think I know how the bathrooms are - disgusting (no confirmation). For the owner, if you can't pay your bills, raise the price some. As the saying goes in the business world, you can make a pizza so cheap, no one wants to eat it. I hope you get things back on track. I don't wish bad things on any entrepreneur. Turn it around, you can do it. Best of wisdom.
