This is the BEST sushi restaurant in the Hampton Roads area. Every time we go for dinner we get miso soup, edamame and cheesecake ON THE HOUSE. They also have a great live piano player which makes the ambience perfect for good after work relaxing dinner. I usually get their Combo Menu which includes two large 8 piece rolls for only $19.95, the rolls are HUGE and delicious. I always walk out full.

Hands down, the best sushi and customer service in all of Chesapeake! This is my daughter’s go-to spot with me whenever she’s in town. We usually order through Uber Eats or DoorDash, so they probably don’t recognize me in person. Tonight, my son and I went in for dinner , he absolutely loves this place. He took his retainers out, put them in a Ziploc bag, and left them on the table. Hours later, when he went to put them back in, we realized they were missing. We searched everywhere before deciding to call.We spoke to Allen, who told us the trash had already been taken out but that he’d check anyway. Five minutes later, he called back , he had found them! I can’t thank him enough. That’s true customer service , going above and beyond, even after the bill is paid.

Ordered 2 rolls for pick up. The sushi rice was super dry. Made the secrions of the roll fall apart in pieces. The texture of the rice was nearly crunchy. It was too expensive for it to be this poorly done. This was my first time having yama Chen and since there is so much competition out there - it’s probably my last time.

I’ve been a frequent customer at this restaurant and have always considered it a go-to spot for dinner. However, I had a disappointing experience two days ago during a pickup. As I arrived to collect my order, an employee stood directly in front of me near the door, physically blocking my path in a way that felt confrontational—as if she was demanding an explanation for something. I even asked her if the restaurant was closing, thinking she wanted me to leave.

Customer service is a crucial part of any dining experience, and it should be held to the same standard as the quality of the food. Unfortunately, this interaction made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable.

To add to that, some of the food in my order tasted old and not fresh, which was very disappointing given my previous positive experiences.

I just want to emphasize that how employees speak to and treat customers matters just as much as the food itself. Respect and professionalism go a long way in maintaining loyal customers.
