I’ve come here a few times now since they opened and I can confidently say it’s some of the best Japanese food I’ve ever had. There takoyaki especially is the best in the city, probably in the Chicago area in general. I’ve had both their spicy tonkatsu ramen and black garlic ramen and the black garlic is my favorite of the two but they’re both very good. My wife tried their lunch special recently and was a huge fan. I’m hoping to come here for years to come so do yourself a favor and give them a try.

The staff is so helpful and happy to see you, the food is a crave-worthy, and the artistry in the way everything is presented is like no other place around. (The pic: they remembered I'm a Disney travel advisor :)

Fabulous sushi !! All soooo fresh: Shumai, Tempura, Alaska roll, Three Kings roll. All soooo tasty that we finished with the white tuna & avocado roll.
Visiting from Vancouver (where sushi is much beloved), so was very happy to discover this true gem.

I. am. amazed. The service was quick. The staff so incredibly friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. Our waters never made it to empty. I dropped my napkin on the floor and immediately someone brought me a new one as I was picking it up. The food is delicious AND with beautiful presentation. I heard this place was great, and it exceeded my expectations. Please visit Yama.

Oh, they also have a wonderful selection of veggie friendly items!

Super friendly ris service, but a fairly limited selection of fish options. Almost everything is shrimp or salmon. We tried other options since those are fairly mid, but nothing was super amazing. Amazing mayo presentation though!!

I recently dined at Yama Sushi Bar, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome, and the service throughout the night was outstanding. Our waitress was truly the best in Oak Park—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations and ensured that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal.

But the star of the show was undoubtedly the sushi. I’ve tried many sushi spots, but Yama Sushi Bar offers the freshest and most delicious sushi in Oak Park. Each roll was meticulously prepared and beautifully presented, bursting with flavor and artistry. The quality of the fish and the creativity in the presentation were top-notch, making this a standout sushi experience.

Overall, Yama Sushi Bar provides a perfect blend of exceptional service and outstanding food. Whether you’re a sushi enthusiast or just looking for a great place to dine, this is the spot to be. Highly recommend!

This place is great. Atmosphere is nice, the sushi is delicious, and the presentation is really cool. On the specialty rolls they made a dragon and a flower out of eel sauce and some other sauces. Highly recommend

Both the food and service were over the top. The owners, Fiat and Nine, were so gracious to our family. I can't wait to return the next time I'm in the Chicago area.

Best sushi I've had in Oak Park yet. On top of that they are always very happy to see you and the service is impeccable. They do a wonderful job presenting the food and make it delicious as well. They've got a new regular.

amazing service in a cozy admosphere that lends itself to a great experience. The food is always fresh and their specials are always delicious. They don't have liquor license yet, so bring your best bottle of wine to enjoy your meal.
