Fix your google hours! Came in at 9, guy comes out and says they open at 10am. Waste of time and so unprofessional.

Happened to drive past this place while driving on Hastings, and was drawn in by the wooden sign and logo, so me and my partner made a note to try it out some time and it did not disappoint!Inside it has very warm vibes, kind of bringing me back to some of the places I have visited in Japan, the menu is small and concise, easy to decide on what to get.I ordered the pork bowl which had one of the most tender pork I have ever eaten, and my partner ordered the vegan bowl which was very sizable and well seasoned.I would highly recommend for an afternoon snack as they have coffees and teas with cute sweets or a light lunch with their tasty bowls.

I have Celiac disease and I was able to safely enjoy their delicious black cod breakfast set! Very many gluten free options, many of the things here are gluten free by default, and GF options are clearly marked. The staff were friendly and able to answer my questions. The food and the atmosphere are both so incredibly comforting! I will definitely return here again!Vegetarian options: Vegan, vegetarian friendlyDietary restrictions: Safe for CeliacMany dairy free optionsGluten free options

This cafe is a gem! We got the morning set with mackerel and the ontama benedict with veggie. The owners put a lot of care into making authentic homemade Japanese breakfast, the meals felt like a hug! The red bean mochi latte (seasonal) was also outstanding. Look forward to coming back soon!!Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly menu and atmosphere

Was looking for a Christmas cake for a holiday party and stumbled upon Yama Cafe! Was super easy to fill out their form online to inquire availability and they responded very promptly. I got the strawberry shortcake 7 inch for $45 plus tax. Pickup was so quick and easy. The decorations and attention to detail was incredible! Taste was delicious and not too sweet.

Their Macha latte is the true Macha latte!! Deep Macha taste.
Ordered the pork belly bowl plus the added lunch set and an iced match latte. The pork belly was super soft and just melts. The portion is a bit small considering how much you're paying. Overall it's a nice cafe if you're looking for something on the healthier end and cozy atmosphere.

If you're a fan of authentic Japanese, flavourful and delicious meals I would 100% recommend them!I typically visit for their beautifully curated Fish sets and delicious matcha lattes for brunch.But my partner and I were looking to celebrate our anniversary and we booked a very special, one of a kind, personally curated Omakase Dinner. We can't praise the incredible meal enough, in every bite we could taste the intention, love and expertise of Chef Yama. We also had the pleasure of being served by the friendly Yumi.If you're looking for a one of a kind experience and a journey through your taste buds, and you're a food lover, Yama's Omakase is a special treat!Or honestly just their daily offerings are also too good to pass up on!Thank you so much Chef!!

Yama is an incredible cafe that serves Japanese food and cafe treats. However, a little known fact is that they also offer omakase meals at night! You have to book these in advance and they take all your preferences into account. The omakase is top-notch for a very reasonable price and feels exactly like what you would experience in Japan or at a high end omakase restaurant in Vancouver. Its a very unique experience as you are getting this upscale omakase experience in a small cozy family style cafe!

I was there only once, and I really enjoyed the vegan bowl. Everything on it had a unique taste, which was absolutely pleasing.
