| - The sushi was fine, but after last night's experience, I refuse to ever go back. Here are the reasons:
1. A Fire Hazard: Even though the restaurant has recently expanded, it's still the size of an igloo.
2. Speaking of cold, the service matches just that. I told the hostess (Cynthia) that it will be a party of five for Angelina. She called me "Angelica" three times. The third time, she did it on purpose only because she knew I was pissed off and tired of correcting her.
3. Our waitress would not allow me to share one small piece of sushi with my friend who wanted to try it. The waitress said it was not permitted because my friend wasn't getting all-you-can-eat. If I want to share my food with a friend, I will share my food! I've never ran into that ridiculous rule at any of the MANY sushi joints I've ever been to.
4. Watch Your Car, Watch Your Back, Watch Your Belongings: Yama isn't exactly in the type of neighborhood where you can easily sit back and relax. Especially while waiting outside during long waits. There was this one shady dude in particular, who was flying by on a bike outside. He was screaming profanities to NO ONE in particular at the top of his lungs. He had no phone and no blue tooth on him either. Which brings me to my next two points, don't do drugs and there will be shady idiots.
5. How Long Can You Wait Before You Hit Boiling Point? Again, that place is too small, that's why you will always have to suffer the long wait times. On top of it, battling the children they have for hostesses, and then to follow, the rude waitress.
Everybody seems to be a genius when it comes to knowing the difference between good sushi and bad sushi. Unfortunately, everybody that goes to Yama, seems to have a hard time noticing the difference between good service, bad service and the obvious fact that you can go somewhere else cleaner, BIGGER, providing a much smaller wait time and still providing great sushi. Take that as a warning and a good tip, sushi lovers.
In regards to going to Yama Sushi, if you still decide to volunteer as tribute, may the sushi forever be in your favor. Because everything else there may not be.
Good luck!
