Eat one piece of a roll and it left an after taste I couldn't get rid of. So sorry, not good

Walk in impression was good. Nice inviting atmosphere. Not crowded. As a matter of fact we were 1 of only 2 couples in the restaurant. Our server was nice but it took an hour and 6 minutes to get 4 rolls. Nothing else. The rolls were edible. Not as good as I was hoping.

We placed a to go order online and it was ready for pick up exactly when they said it would be. When I went inside the hostess was very kind and happy to be there and handed me the order. They even gave us free spring rolls! The packaging was very neat and cool and the food was also amazing! They’re doing a great job and this is my new sushi spot!

My food was pretty good. I got the house salad which was mixed lettuce and cucumbers with dressing, a philly roll which was good, and a christmas roll. The christmas roll had seaweed salad on it which I typically like but tasted like it wasn't rehydrated properly as it was "harder" than I am used to. My husband enjoyed his beef yakisoba despite the unusual additions of edamame and corn in it. My 5 year old liked her terriyaki chicken but we were disappointed that there was no smaller portion size for children, even an appetizer size would have been enough for her. We felt wasteful because she doesn't eat rice and it came with a heaping serving which my husband tried to eat some of but couldn't finish it (see picture of what was left once she was full). They offered free spring rolls with our meal but we couldn't finish them because they were luke warm when they came out. The atmosphere was lovely. It is clean, well decorated and not noisy. The service left a bit to be desired. They were not busy at all, there was only two other tables the whole time we were there. However we had to ask for more water, my 5 year old's food came out about 5 minutes after our food (kids don't like to wait until last) which made no sense since my husband also ordered from the kitchen, not the sushi bar. We had to ask twice for a fork for our child to be able to eat her food. The waitress did not clear our plates at all and she brought the check when we were clearly still eating.
Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is kid friendly but the service and offerings are not. There is no kid's menu or options to purchase a smaller portion for kids. They also don't offer "kid chopsticks" like most sushi places.

Best sushi I've had around here. Volcano roll converted my dad into a sushi eater. Spicy California roll was huge too. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back

in depth review on TripAdvisor. Only negative thing I can say is the lighting is very dim. The food is spectacular and very fresh with lots of unexpected surprises.

We went for a late lunch. We were immediately seated and taken care of our order. Great venue, clean, nice background music. Friendly and attentive staff. The orders were prepared to specifications. Very well presented and tasteful food.

If you live in the area definitely sign up for rewards as it is excellent service with good service and value for the dollar. Also, my niece is quite a picky eater and she loves this place. Go!
What a wonderful dinner we just had at YamaChen's. it was a lovely experience from beginning to end. Relaxing atmosphere, amazing staff, and of course, the sushi was divine. Thank you so much, for a wonderful, interesting, and tasty meal!

This is the worse of the YamaChens. I been to Yorktown (Great), Hampton and Suffolk, good. This one though, not recommend. The rice was weird, dry not presented well. I thought just me, but my wife mentioned the same thing. We will not return and probably just hit the one in Yorktown next time. It's a drive from chesapeake, but this was not good. Turned me off of YamaChen.
