Having not been for many years - it's always so crowded!- last night surprisingly there was no wait at all at 8pm.
We ordered several rolls - that's pretty much all I order at Yama - and they were delicious. Larger than life like I remembered, these aren't your average sushi rolls.
Fresh ingredients and interesting combinations like jalapeno specials for those who like everything with an extra kick. The fish is very fresh - no fishiness here, and especially the roe is nice and crunchy - not the mush often presented at other venues around town.
Yama is a pretty reasonable sushi option - the three of us were served for around $50 bucks, sans alcohol of course. While the sushi and sashimi aren't the most delicate you'll find, at this price point the portions will definitely satisfy your sushi fix.
