Yama Sushi — Restaurant in San Francisco

Love Yama and their sushi! Yama is an institution that has been in the neighborhood forever. I grew up in Lakeview and it is great to know that they are still in business. Service is stellar. The staff has always been attentive when I’ve eaten in.

Had the best dinner here tonight!! My sister and I got the 49er roll, tiger roll, salmon nigiri and unagi nigiri. Must have garlic edamame- sooo goood!!! Everything was delicious and generous portions. And on top of the awesome sushi, the family is the sweetest!! Eileen is amazing- she served us and the other tables and at the same time was very organized and helpful as folks kept coming in for pick-up orders. The woman preparing the sushi was fabulous. As we said good night to leave, we started chatting with the family and they are totally adorable, very friendly and you can see and feel how much love and hard work they put into what they do.

We can see why this spot is so popular. Already planning our next visit here :) :) :) 你们辛苦了 非常感谢你们的很好努力...
