Yama is a simple and delicious sushi restaurant that has been a favorite for many years. The food is fresh and the flavors are good, with large portions that can surprise you. The restaurant has a very nondescript appearance, being located a short flight down the stairs, and features simple decor with seating at a sushi counter and a couple of tables. Despite its unchanged look, the quality of the sushi and sashimi remains top-notch and consistent. Many customers, including long-time visitors, highly recommend special roll #7, the mango sushi roll, and nasu shigayaki. The omakase special offers quick service with highlights like soba noodles in peanut sauce and fresh sashimi, featuring generous portions of sea urchin, fatty tuna, and shrimp. While the seafood is praised, some have noted that the cuts can be uneven and the rice may not meet the standards of traditional Japanese sushi restaurants. Yama is a unique and treasured place that stands out among other sushi restaurants in New York City, offering an incredible dining experience that keeps customers coming back for more. However, it is important to note that it is not wheelchair accessible.
