" Dined here with my family, and we were all blown away by the freshness of the sushi. The children loved the shrimp tempura and edamame. My husband and I enjoyed a variety of rolls, especially the spicy crab roll, which was outstanding. The waiter was very attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full. Will definitely bring the kids again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try YAMA after hearing so much about it! However, I found the food lacking in flavor. The sushi was just okay, and the tempura needed seasoning. The atmosphere was nice, but the service felt rushed. I know others love this place, but it just didn’t live up to the hype for me. I may give it another shot someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance and service were top-notch, I found the food to be a bit overpriced for what I received, especially for lunch. The sushi rolls were tasty, but the portion sizes left me wanting more. The tuna was fresh, but I feel like I've had better at other places for less money. If they could address the portion issue, I would give them a higher rating. " (*Curated Review*)

" The lunch special at YAMA is a great deal! I had the bento box, which was filled with a delicious variety of sushi and sides. The serving size was fulfilling, and everything tasted fresh. The only downside was that it got quite busy during the lunch hour, so my service was a bit slower than expected, but I would come back again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a huge sushi fan, and YAMA did not disappoint! From the moment I stepped in, I felt welcomed. The menu was diverse, and I was able to try several different rolls. The staff was friendly, and my server provided great recommendations. While I felt the prices were a tad high, it was worth every bite! Can't wait to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband took me to YAMA as a treat, and it was a lovely experience. We ordered a mix of sushi rolls and some tempura. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were fresh and delicious! The servers were very attentive, making the evening enjoyable. A bit pricey, but we felt it was worth it for the quality we received. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had really high expectations for YAMA based on all the rave reviews, but my experience didn't quite live up. The atmosphere was fine, the staff was friendly, but the sushi lacked zing. I had the spicy tuna roll, which was supposed to be the star, but it just had a mild flavor. Perhaps I expected too much, but I may try again for a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
