Comfort food is the best way to describe Yama. Every dish will leave you beyond satisfied, but still wanting to try more. The atmosphere is exactly what I desire for a quick bit or a take-out style restaurant. But it does smell a little like mothballs. And having the ordering at the counter to have your food brought to the table is pleasant. And as accommodating as the staff is, I would not take someone here with the intentions of assuming a waiter will be at your table.
Brings me back to the 90s of finished basement dwellings while playing nintendo with friends and mom brought home basically the entire menu because you cant go wrong.

I used to be a regular before COVID and they switched to take out only. I recently learned that you can order at the counter and they will bring your food to a table. Sort of a semi take out/dine in place. No real table service but almost. Most importantly, everything is served in real dishes and bowls. No plastic take out containers.
Their food continues to be amazing and the limited table service was fast and super courteous.
I need to be a regular again.

Excellent food and friendly service. You order at the front and they bring your food to your table. Will return when I'm in the area again.

My family and I make a trip up twice a month to visit here. It has easily become our favorite spot to eat. The staff here have been very kind the many times we have visited. They have outstanding service, amazing food with a relaxed atmosphere. The kimchi-jjigae is my go-to ; although everything in the menu is wonderful. Their sushi is also top notch.

Tucked out of the way of the main street, this gem of a restaurant is bursting with flavor and gentle ambiance. Food is ordered at a counter then brought to your table. I had miso soup, pickled spicy cucumbers, and amazing fried tofu with bonito shavings. All for $11, and I was the only one here for most of the time. Definitely a place I will visit again and again!
Food is amazing here. Little bit dingy but the food makes up for it.

Best sushi and food in the upper valley, nothing beats this place hands down amazing. Very authentic, quick and easy and been a staple here in west leb for many many years and hopefully many many more to come! Thank you Yama for being a gem in the upper valley!

Excellent service, very welcoming. The food is as good as ever, but since the pandemic the space has become smaller and is a bit dark. Please eat there to help this great local business! Don't just get takeout!

This is the first time I've been back there since Covid and it apparently changed ownership (?). The vibe is completely different, unfortunately it's not what it used to be. I got the yama roll and the soft shell crab roll. Also, side of seaweed salad. The sushi rolls & seaweed were OK, not the worst I've ever had. The set up is odd, the interior is dark and dingy. No bathroom. Place needs an interior update and better sushi. Not sure that I would go back again. I miss the original Yama :(
