Luck would have it that this place is right behind the bank I go to after office meetings on Thursday nights. I never gave it a chance because looking at it from the bank all I saw was a big red sign that said SUSHI. That and it's location on the east side was a red flag to me.
Finally, about a month ago I finished my meetings and I was so hungry I didn't care about previous red flags. When I got close enough I saw that this was THE Yama Sushi I've heard about from so many people. Definitely made me happier walking in to try it out.
It was packed but I was solo so I didn't wait long for a seat at the bar. Compared to other AYCE spots I found the menu very intriguing from the start because of the sexually themed rolls. I base my review of AYCE sushi places based on the quality of the sushi since I don't get a lot of rolls. My favorite place (I won't name it) still has better quality sushi but the quality here is very good and the portions are massive! The sushi they laid across the rice was probably 3 times the size of my favorite place. To wrap up my night there I had to order the Manwhore roll. The presentation was amazing and the roll was great too! To top it off the service was great! Even though I was at the bar every single server asked me if I needed anything. Sometimes I can't even get a refill of water sitting at the bar at other places.
Don't let the east side location deter you. Definitely check this place out if you haven't. I'll be working this place into my Thursday sushi rotation for sure!
