Whenever I’m in Texas and craving Japanese food, I always visit this place. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, and the staff are friendly. I highly recommend the yakitori and agedashi tofu, which offer a taste just like back in Japan. Additionally, they have a happy hour where beers are priced attractively.

Good service. Delicious sushi & BBQ. Udon is not bad at all. My kids also like the katsu curry over rice. Will visit again.

This place has some really good fish. One of the few places I've been to that actually has 90% items on their menu! Things like salmon/yellowtail belly, uni etc. Quality on their basic tuna was top notch. Service was fantastic and super attentive. I sat at the car by myself and the chef gradually gave me a plate every few minutes. Which I love. Great place and highly recommend.
I ordered the Beef short Rib and Gyoza to go and when i got to my car i decided i couldn’t wait to get home and eat so i ate in my car. The beef short rib was okay but the gyoza tastes like burnt food and bitter like they don’t clean their pan when they pan fry the Gyoza. I was able to get a refund on the Gyoza but all the said was thats the way it’s supposed to taste. They should clean the pan at least is all im saying. Nobody wants eat all the left over burnt gunk from other food.

Fantastic sushi! Fish was fresh and rolls were flavorful. Good selection of rolls as well. Ramen was good, and we appreciated the small version so that we could still enjoy other items on the menu. Didn't care for the miso soup but the edamame was good . Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!
Food was good, nothing extra special. The specials looked good for happy hour, we just weren't there during that time.

Food was acceptable but could have been better. Don't know why the beef tongue has to be doused in sesame oil, and no liver on the menu? Hot sake is always good to have.

I didn’t come here for the restroom. Bro the Sushi here is top shelf amazing levels of fresh. Portions are huge, the quality of the staff and presentation of dishes is art. I’m here on a Saturday evening, they’re showing UFC on the screen and there are families and couples here. The kitchen is wide open you can see them preparing meals right in front of everyone. I’d eat here every day but then it would get old. All Stars ⭐️
An absolute must try!! First and foremost ask for Reina she’s a phenomenal waitress super attentive and knowledgeable!! It was our first time at Yama and we were absolutely blown away !!! We tried the spicy miso ramen sushi and a few yakatori options all of it was wonderful. Everything was perfectly seasoned well balenced each bite left us craving more !! When we got the bill I was absolutely stunned it’s so hard to find high quality delicious food without an exorbitant price tag exceeding any expectations we might have had!! The restaurant has immaculate energy without being too much for an intimate dinner!! it was bustling full of happy patrons even so we were seated quickly without a reservation on a Friday no less and still received 5 star service !! I cannot wait to come back introduce my loved ones to the yama experience!!!

Always a great atmosphere and lots of different delicious foods to choose from. The curry is amazing but if you're wanting something lighter, sushi or items off the yakitori grill are also solid choices! If you're a night owl or have a late night craving, this is the spot.
