Normally I would lessen the stars for atmosphere because it is small and crowded but here it really works for the feel. The food was excellent and authentic. The workers were so kind and pleasant. This is a must visit. The only negative are the unusual hours.

My favorite restaurant in the world. Authentic Japanese diner food in the most unlikely of places. I've frequented Yama since ~2015 after I returned from a study abroad trip to Japan, and the quality has never declined. The service is great, the atmosphere is great, and the food is delicious. I urge you to have a meal at Yama; you won't regret it.
Got the shoyu ramen - broth was rich and flavorful and the pork melted in my mouth. I don’t tend to like pork in ramen much but this was just absolutely incredible. 10/10

I've been wanting to visit Yama for months now, and finally got the opportunity to go for dinner on Wednesday. Though their hours are limited, it was well worth the visit. Casual and cozy interior, we ordered our meal at the counter - spicy tuna rolls, miso ramen, the pork cutlet and fried salmon bento boxes. The boxes came with a delicious array of side salads and miso soup, arranged with a lot of care. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their food. All the food was perfectly cooked..highlight for me was the fried salmon, which was super crispy but moist and juicy inside. Absolutely delicious meal and I highly recommend visiting!!

Definitely one of the highlights of Morgantown! The ramen is stellar and the atmosphere looks of a traditional room in Japan; prices aren't too steep either. Service is a tad slow however but it's completely worth it.

If you're in the area and they are open, you have to stop by! One of my favorite places downtown, would highly recommend. Great selection and fantastic quality.
Good Japanese home cooking. Small, often busy place. Friendly owners, staff, and patrons! I make a point to eat here at least every week! Check their Facebook page for hours--they change.

What a fantastic little place! Was lucky enough to come through town when they were open. Had a fantastic dinner for a *very* reasonable price. I got vegetable udon (photo), my husband got yaki soba, and we shared an order of veg gyōza. YUM.

What a find! This casual (order & pay at the counter and then seat yourself) gem should be added to your dining list. We ordered spicy tuna rolls, gyoza, shrimp udon and an eel bowl. Everything was fresh and tasty. Yum! I’m sorry we will only be in town overnight because other menu items caught my eye. The staff was friendly and helpful.
