| - We are regulars at Yama now. Been there at least a dozen times. We love sushi and like that it's consistently fresh and expertly prepared, something I find hard to say about other Charlotte sushi spots.
Our favorites are the Big Mike roll (not on the menu but a special almost al the time, its basically a Morrison roll with added crab), the Morrison, the Boston Roll, Sweet Potato roll (tried on the recommendation of another Yelp review and liked it!), Crazy Tuna roll and if you prefer cooked food, the Chicken Katsu is very crispy.
Service is mixed. It's usually fast and friendly, but not necessarily voluntarily helpful. However a few times we've had excellent service, it's just unpredictable.
Atmospherically, it can get loud and they keep the a/c jacked up, bring a sweater or drink green tea! Yama is pricey, my recommendation is to pick a big roll or two to share and supplement with some of the smaller more basic, but still excellent ones. The large rolls are quite filling.
If you like desert, let me recommend the chocolate cake. Yes, chocolate cake at a sushi restaurant, and it's some of the best in Charlotte! The only negative? No coffee to drink with it!! It's huge, bring a friend and get two forks.
