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. I once ordered for pick up and when they forgot a roll in my order (it was a hot day and they were seriously busy), the owner delivered it to my house with some complimentary gyoza.

Dishes are a little expensive for the size/quality of ingredients, but they are always offering so many new and dynamic deals and dishes all the time which keeps things exciting. I love getting text reminders about discounts too, like their %15 off online orders for International Sushi Day. They really are always reliable and a great standby.

I ordered takeout and when I got home one item was missing. I couldn’t come back, so they delivered my dish plus free gyoza. Such great service!

We love Yama sushi! The Fire Bomb and the Volcano roll are our favorites. When we order delivery it always arrives promptly and in good order.

Never been there in person, but I treat myself with Grubhub, and wow, it's absolutely HEAVENLY sashimi. Great big slabs of saki salmon, unagi, maguro Nigeria and California rolls! So, so happy. I never order anyplace else anymore. Pricey, but so, so worth it.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetable rolls!

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 ~ 好好吃吃 期待下次!

I went for lunch, and my experience wasn't all that great for the 4.3 star ratings this place has. Probably the night before it was busy but all the tables were dirty. When I asked the server (old man) to please clean the table, he first looked at the table from different angles and then grabbed the towel. The sushi wasn't all that tasty, and the rolls were on the thin side. Nobody came to ask if everything was good or ok with my food. So I was left on my own if I wanted to order something else. They had several people that were coming to pick up food ordered, and even some people left upset that they had to wait despite putting their order ahead of time. Definitely won't come back.

Even though it's a little disorganized, the staff is friendly and the food is good. They have decent vegan options too.

Vegetarian options: Green gyoza, tofu entree, veggie dragon roll

I am truly disappointed in the quality of the food for the cost. 2 rolls and a Coca-Cola for almost $50.00. Now, I do not mind paying for decent food at all! But when you use imitation crab and charge like its real crab is a problem. Staff is always friendly but clearly doesn't care about the appearance of a clean place. Will not be going back for a 3rd attempt at decent food.
