| - My BF and I are looking for a sushi spot to eat cuz we are on this sushi kick and have been to 3 different places within a week.
So here we are, at Yama Sushi. We came here because of the reviews. Some are bad, but most are good to great. And what do I think? Well let me explain my rating process.
Place is definitely small. Chairs are brushed agains each other and people's backs. Elbow to elbow counter seating. 4 or some times 5 sushi chefs behind the sushi bar. I did liked the island beach back drop tho. 3 stars.
Service was good. Got our waters and orders fairly fast. Dirty dishes was taken right away. A lot of servers came and ask how we were doing and was able to order appetizers off of the AYCE menu quickly. So 5 stars for just services from our servers. But sushi chefs, I give 3 stars. No welcoming gestures, just heads down making sushi and when ordered they just gave a nod.
Okay here's the real deal. If you are a foodie of sushi, like me, you will probably rate their food as 2 stars. Fish is definitely not extremelyfresh, and all the pieces where all pre-cut so that they could pump them out like a factory machine. We ordered the seafood salad. Seems like a they just put together all the pieces of sashimi fish that didn't make the cut, tossed with a pokie like sauce (no spicy, mild, or spicy) over cucumber and shredded Daikon. Not a fan of that. Order yellowtail and white tuna sushi. It was mushy. Rice is overly vinegary. It's seems like everything had a sour note to it. Soft shell crab was good, the breading was surprising crispy. So 2 stars for the food.
So, how do i feel? I didn't like that at all. It seems like they value quantity over quality. I don't know if I can even call those guys behind the sushi bar, chefs. They are just cooks that knows how to make those 20 or something rolls on the menu.
And to be honest. I would pay almost double for food that can just blow my mind when it comes to sushi.
