Top notch service, nice esthetic/ambiance, freshest/highest quality sushi and food in town. Must order: H&M roll, Brussel sprouts, kalbi beef ribs. You won't regret it.

Too much rice tiny pieces of fish for the price. Average sushi supermarket quality was average at best

I defiantly would like more flavor in the food and maybe shouldn’t have ordered tempura style veggies. I envisioned something else in mind and the batter on the veggies filled me very fast. I ended up giving up on the veggies and went for my sushi roll which was delicious. I love Sake and the bartender recommended a nice smooth one for us. I will go check out other locations in town.

Amazingly fresh and great tasting Nigiri options. Imported selections fresh from Japan you'll get lucky to get your hands on some awesome Medium fatty Tuna and Sea urchin, best I've had in Charlotte. Great Whiskey selections for those who want to find rare liquid. Secret menu item is Mama Ian's Bowl.Kid-friendliness: Lots of family's with kids.

Space is kind of small with limited seating. Menu doesn't have an overly large or difficult sushi selection. All dishes tasted fresh and delicious.

Had the best sushi at Yama! Enjoyed the vibes, great and friendly service! Phenomenal top notch quality tuna & salmon nigiri totally blown me away. I have recently visited Tokyo Tsukiji fish market couple of months ago, was so surprised the Uni is just like what I had in Tokyo ? sweet shrimp was amazingly fresh and beautiful. Definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for fine Japanese dining experience, you will be very pleased with their quality of nigiri ?

Great place, service was awesome, good was good and fresh and the place is clean. I would go back to check it out at night as I ate around noon.
Outstanding food and service. The sushi was phenomenal and the hibachi was just as good. I highly recommend Yama at Waverly.

Clean place. Service was good. We had appetizers - brussel sprouts and deep-fried chicken. Both delicious. My party had sushi. I had shrimp teriyaki with fresh vegetables and fried rice. Delicious. Little pricey but definitely a return place for us.

-1 star overall for slow service and value for Everything was delicious. If you’re looking for legit, amazing sushi/sashimi, this is it. Quality fish and fantastic execution. Tuna totoro was definitely the star of dinner.We were seated promptly even on a busy Saturday night, and our server was amazing! Her recommendations were great, and she was very attentive and friendly. However, this is the longest meal of sushi ever - 2.5 hours for 1 appetizer, 1 small dish, and 2 rolls. We did order another roll in the middle of the meal, but waiting a whole hour for 1 more roll seems excessive.Feels nice enough so if you dress up you won’t stand out, but casual enough to wear a t shirt and basketball shorts. Perfect for a date night or if you just want to treat yourself to a nice dining experience. The bar is beautiful if you wanted to sit there.This place is overpriced. Anything with sashimi was TINY, the smallest portion sizes I’ve ever seen from a sushi restaurant, even upscale ones! Yes, the quality is there, but it’s on par / more expensive than sushi in LA.
