| - Stopped in for a quick, very quick, lunch roll last week since I was in the area. This took me back to college years because I haven't dined here since UNLV days about 6 years ago. Everything looked exactly the same, the picture of a perfect neighborhood sushi bar, just larger than I remember with the side room (was that there before?)
The host was kind to seat me quickly at the sushi bar, and a server appeared as soon as I sat down. Nice! I ordered the Kiss My Ass roll, in the mood for something really spicy. It was, well, oversauced. Way too much sauce. The menu read hot pepper sauce, this was tangy, creamy, very little spice and it needed a little sweetness. The shrimp inside were Tender and flavorful. Shrimp tempura with spicy tuna & hot pepper sauce, sounded promising for spice but for that creamy (gag) sauce all over the place...
A couple quick shots of sake to forget about that sauce, the server was quick with the check, and that was it- I was outta there, likely for the last time. The service was good, but I really couldn't stomach the thought of another roll. If ever I find myself back here, I'd stick with basics or sashimi, as their fish looked nice, and I would order all sauces on the side. It's a 2 1/2 for service and the tender flavorful shrimp. But I really wouldn't venture out of my way for Yama.
