" The sake and sushi experience at Yama was excellent! Would recommend the house sake ¥3 for good value! Their rolls are unique, and the flavors pop! Although a little pricey, it was worth every bite. I can’t wait to bring my friends here next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I rarely write reviews, but Yama was impressive. I enjoyed the chirashi bowl a lot. Every fish slice felt fresh and full of flavor. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere felt cozy in a bustling city. I would recommend this sushi bar to anyone visiting Portland! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yama delivered an outstanding dining experience! The variety of rolls and sashimi was impressive, and everything tasted very fresh. I especially loved the Flaming Jack roll — it's a must-try! The sake selection was extensive, and the staff made wonderful recommendations. Great place to celebrate a special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yama surprised me with how good their sushi was for its price! I enjoyed a great variety and didn’t feel overwhelmed by the menu like I often do. Their spicy tuna roll was the highlight of my meal. I will happily return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi selection is impressive, but I didn’t think the authenticity of the flavors matched that of traditional places I’ve been to back home. The service was okay but the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Could improve on being attentive, especially when busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Yama for a cozy date night. The atmosphere was perfect, with low lighting and good music. The staff was friendly, and the sushi was delightful. I recommend the mushroom yakisoba — it was unexpected and delicious. Definitely a place to come back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" A mediocre experience overall. The food was good but nothing extraordinary, and the price felt a bit high for what was offered. Service was friendly, but we did wait too long for our orders to arrive, especially during peak time. Atmosphere was nice but quite noisy. Perhaps it would be better on a quieter evening. " (*Curated Review*)
