| - This is five stars for the AYCE, not for a la carte. $20.95 lunch
Came here for AYCE and it was delicious! Some AYCE joints don't offer appetizers and desserts on the menu, but Yama does. Sat at the counter with a party of four, and unless you're looking for more privacy, I'd recommend the counter. You can order rolls straight from the chef rather than through the server.
The seafood salad is pretty much a typical sashimi salad without the abundance of greens. Rather, it sat on a bed of radish strings. Would recommend. Nigiri is also on the menu and for AYCE, the hamachi was pretty good. A few items have a limit of one per customer such as the uni, amaebi, and seafood salad...understandable.
Some of my favorite rolls were the Mad Dragon (although super eel sauced) and No Name. Note that you can order HALF rolls for some of them...and if you sit at the counter you can actually talk to the sushi chef if he talks to you first =] calls for fun and giggles. Pauw made our rolls and he was pro awesomeness. They have a lot of rolls with mayo or cream cheese which isn't my preference, but if you like that this is def the place for you. It's good in moderation, but definitely not for AYCE. Of course it isn't ALL mayo or cream cheese, just saying it's more than what I am used to seeing on a menu.
Finish off with cucumber salad, refreshing...then some ice cream (which was average) or mochi ice cream!
