Yama Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Oak Park

We came in, and it was about half full, which is a good sign. We got seated fairly quickly. The host was extremely nice. We took some time looking over the menu, and the host was kind enough to let us take our time choosing. The mango lemonade was very refreshing and had what tasted like fresh mango in it, which was a pleasant surprise as many use syrups instead. We ordered takoyaki to start and it was a strongly impressing starter item. Cooked perfectly, my only complaint is much too little octopus in it, which is the main star ingredient of takoyaki. Then came the spicy tonkatsu, very oily, noodles were definitely not house made. Very meh. Then the rolls and nigiri. The rolls and Nigeria are beautifully put together and the sauce art is definitely a plus. However we noticed the blue sauce stains the board and could see the stains from the previous use. And we also felt the sushi itself was quite bland. Fish when fresh has a wonderful unique flavor. These lacked it. However I was pleasantly surprised by the Wasabi under the fish on the Nigiri, which is a sign of a well taught sushi chef. Overall beautiful presentation, great service. A bit of a empty atmosphere with odd choiced pop music but my only qualm is with the quality of the ingredients.

However, this spot is new and I think with time they can improve, and I will probably visit again in a year when they've hopefully improved. At that time I will...

I recently dined at Yama Sushi Bar, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience!

Yama Sushi in Oak Park is an absolute gem that serves up the most incredible sushi in the entire Chicagoland area! The atmosphere is spotless and inviting, and the server went above and beyond to provide fantastic recommendations. Each dish not only tastes amazing but is also a feast for the eyes with beautiful presentation. The dragon rolls are a true work of art, with each one more unique and delicious than the last. The hell fire roll and dragon roll were absolutely mouth-watering. We also indulged in some classic maki rolls and sashimi, though we wished the sashimi cuts were a bit thicker. Despite that, the prices were more than fair for the outstanding quality of food and service. Yama Sushi is a must-visit for any sushi enthusiast - you won't be...
