| - Mmmhhmm just like Dan K. says, order enough sushi and you are served via boat. Who doesn't want to eat off of a mini yacht?
Yama has some solid sushi - some of my favorite in Charlotte. For some time hubs and I would only hit up Nikko, but I'm not keen on the bumping beats after 7:30 pm, so we sought sushi elsewhere. Yama is situated in the super sweet Morrison shopping center with a plenty of parking. Inside, it looks like a pretty standard, upscale sushi bar - a smattering of tables in the back and front and an actual seated sushi bar. It's pleasant inside, but it's not "tricked out" like some other sushi locales.
The food is delicious. Hubs and I have tried a variety of their rolls and I haven't had anything less than super as of yet. Their fish is very, very fresh and they do have a bunch of creative rolls. Some of my personal favorites are: Snow roll - a rice paper wrapped fish fiesta, the Charlotte roll and the Firecracker roll. It's also nice to see that there are only very few rolls that are super fried or stuffed with cream cheese. That's just not my bag.
The edamame was tasty, steamed just enough and salted to our liking. Their hot food, from what I've tasted, was quite good as well. Standard dumplings and Hibachi.
The staff at Yama are attentive and helpful, yet wisely let us hammer down our sushi in peace. The owners are there quite often and they are always very kind and grateful that we came in, whether it's for takeout or for dinner.
Yay for Yama, a traditional sushi experience!
