Yama Japanese Cuisine — Restaurant in Washington Township

This was edible and did not make me sick, but was the worst quality sushi I've had in a long time. I was surprised after all the positive reviews. Even the rice felt old and kind of stale. The fish tasted dull and not fresh, but not gross. I'm not even picky about sushi. I'll get it from the grocery store and be happy with it.

For reference, I got the Alaska Roll and a specialty roll that had eel and another fish on top. I can't remember which fish, I just remember one of the pieces looked more purple while the others were pink. My friend had veggie rolls and seemed content if not happy with that. I ordered the karaage as an app out of curiosity. Instead of marinated fried chicken, I got what tasted like tempura McDonalds chicken nuggets. If you google it, you'll see it's supposed to be marinated and seasoned.

To be fair, this is definitely a no frills spot. For the price point, the presentation on the plate is really cute. And the service was great. It's obviously more of a takeout spot than a serious restaurant. But honestly, the food just wasn't good enough to really be worth it for me and I won't be returning for takeout or dining in. If I'm craving cheap easy sushi, I'll stick to the...

This place never makes mistakes on my orders. Don't listen to Andrew (previous review); I was a regular here and if you knew the owner, Helen, she would give the best deals and is always nice to me. the original sushi chef, Gary, had back problems and couldn't keep working. There are actually two chefs, and one has been working there since the place opened. He works in the kitchen and his name is steve. I'm assuming that Andrew had a bad experience from the time he made his review because that was when the new sushi chef, Jackie, was just starting out.

They have the biggest variety of special rolls than any other sushi restaurant. Plus, about 25 of them are 7.75 which is cheap for special rolls. Their spicy mayo sauce unlike anything I ever had. I recommend trying it in their valentine roll. Although the place doesn't deliver, they believe eating the sushi as fast as possible to keep the fish fresh so they recommend dining in. They really take pride into keeping the dining area and...

Yama Japanese Cuisine has quickly become one of my new favorite spots for sushi. I’ve ordered takeout here a few times, and each order leaves me impressed. The sushi is always fresh, and each roll I try is delicious—I make a point to try a new one every time, and they never disappoint. Two of my favorites are the Incredible Roll and the Red Phoenix Roll.

The service is consistently friendly and welcoming; everyone I’ve interacted with, possibly the owners, has been genuinely pleasant. I also love that they have cute, unique chopsticks for sale—I couldn’t resist buying a set for just five dollars.

Another highlight is the dumpling soup. The broth is rich and flavorful, making it a perfect complement to their sushi. Yama has definitely become my go-to spot for sushi in the area, and I look forward to many...
