This was our go-to place for sushi for many, many years. After it has changed hands, it is not very good. Sushi deluxe had some questionable pieces in it and was not very fresh. They don't give out those little cucumbers/sprouts like they used to...as well. Things change...I get it, but unfortunately not for the positive in this case.More

This place was one of my favorite spots before 2020 under different owners, where everything was exceptionally fresh and deliscious. Since it changed hands, the portions are small and scaled back, recipes are different and it is just not fresh like before or prepared with...much care. It tasted like they cooked everything ahead of time and heated it in the microwave. It's edible but mediocre, like something I would find at an airport.More

The outside appearance of this restaurant belies the excellence of the food and the quality of service. We were looking for a good vegetarian option and had seen a review. We're so glad we tried it! We had vegetarian goyza, edamame as an appetizer, miso...soup, and tempura veggies. Everything was extremely fresh and flavorful. The staff was extremely friendly and we appreciated all of the precautions they took to mitigate covid, such as ordering at the front door, acrylic glass barriers, and wearing masks and gloves. Will definitely go there next time we're in the area!More

Smallish place but there was a good reason that it was very hopping on a cold and slightly snowy night. Good food, welcoming and attentive staff. The free side dishes were interesting and yummy. Without being an expert on Korean cuisine, I found the dishes...to be authentic and we all found them to be very filling. Our party had some sushi rolls, a sushi ball (very unique!), yakisoba and veggie stew with shrimp. While the decor is a little uninspiring, everything else about this place makes it something we'd return to without hesitation.More

It is tucked away worth looking for, family run and operated. We have meals in as well as take out. They treat us like we are family. Korean cuisine with wonderful sushi. Lunch and diner are usually busy. Worth the wait. Love this place.

I am back in Lebanon - haven’t been here in a few years. Yama is still here and as amazing as ever. Had my favorite dish - bibimbap!

A nice place to stop for some lunch. The staff is friendly and the food is a decent size portion. They have highchairs available for little ones. I'd come back again to try the other lunch specials.

From the small dishes of complimentary appetizers to the main dishes, food here is surprisingly tasty. Service is usually efficient, if not effusively friendly. Lunch is especially reasonable. Bibimbap in the hotpot is my partner’s favorite dish, while I like their sushi and teriyaki.

Such good food, Korean and Japanese. Sushi, sashemi, noodles, seafood, great pickled side dishes. Fast service, reasonable prices for quality food. Decor is very, very understated-- go for the food, not the room. I've never had a bad meal here.

We enjoy eating here and have figured out that eating early avoids the long, but worthwhile wait for a table. The appetizer nibbles are tasty and whet the appetite for the rest of the meal. Main dishes include sushi and are artfully arranged! Dessert is...lacking, but haven't really cared about that, with no room for it anyway. Our only complaint is that the food is served too quickly, and typically everything comes almost at once, covering every available space. Yama is best seen as a high quality fast food restaurant with superb service.More
