" I've eaten sushi all over the world, and the sushi at YAMA Waverly certainly holds its own. The selection of fish was fresh, and the sushi was expertly prepared. The atmosphere was laid-back, yet upscale. A bit on the pricier side, but definitely worth every penny for the experience. I will highly recommend this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended YAMA, and I was excited to try it. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice, but the sushi was not as exceptional as I expected. My rolls were fresh, but they lacked the depth of flavor I've experienced at other sushi places. I think I may try other menu items next time to see if it improves my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon entering YAMA, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is modern yet cozy, making it a perfect spot for a date night. I ordered the dragon roll, which was not only visually stunning but also delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh and well-prepared. I've tried many sushi places around town, but YAMA is definitely one of the best. I will certainly return to explore more of their menu soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited YAMA for a date night and was very pleased with the overall experience. The sushi was fresh, and the service was quick. I particularly loved the ambiance—it felt both intimate and lively. The only downside was that some sushi portions felt smaller than expected for the price; however, I still enjoyed my meal thoroughly. I will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" YAMA has become my go-to sushi spot! The atmosphere is cozy, and the sushi is second to none in the area. I particularly enjoyed the California roll and the unique selections they have. The service was excellent; my server made me feel valued and attended to my needs without delay. It's a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for here! Looking forward to my next visit.

" 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*)
