I started coming to Yama Sushi back in 2004. When my wife and I started dining here, there was usually like 2 or 3 people there and is was quiet and very personal. Now there is consistently a line to get in.
It is possibly the best AYCE place in town. The menu is huge but it does not need to be on the menu for you to order. You want something special just ask and they accommodate. All the appetizers are included and the beer is cheap. The service is STILL personable and exceptional even with it being crowded all the time. The food comes fast and most important is that everything is fresh. I have never ever smelled the fish when walking in to the restaurant.
This place is a hole in the wall dive with no frills just awesome food and great friendly service.
I keep trying a few new places closer to me but find that I continually compare them to Yama and no one meets the same standard.
