Mixed modern interior with different "zones" - formal, sushi bar, sports bar - with an amazing staff to match. Diverse menu with some fun one off rolls. Definitely worth the visit!

An hidden gem of a sushi shop. They have great quality sushi dishes and the service is always amazing. If you go during the week they have a happy hour discounts. They also offer chop sticks for beginners/kids

Excellent, fresh tasting sashimi with huge portions. The cocktails were good too, recommend the sake sangria for a nice fruity drink with a real taste of sake to it! The takoyaki is the best I’ve had since visiting Japan.

Great decor and amazing food. What a gem in Gainey Ranch! Update: just came back and chef Jeff and Jimmy took great care of us. They have a new menu item... Chicken Karrage was . Friendly service and a top-notch meal, not much more I can ask for!

Excellent experience here yesterday for lunch! Our server was Jake and he was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is very lovely and nestled in Gainey Ranch. We started with some Kirin and hot Sake. My friend ordered a rainbow roll and I had a ninja roll. The ninja roll was spicy yellowtail with more yellowtail on top, some jalapeno and sriracha. It was a little spicy and super tasty! The fish was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back here soon!

This is a great place if you love sushi. The rolls are unique and inventive, the fish is fresh, and the wait staff is so attentive. Yama offers a great selection of no rice options, if you are carb conscious. My husband had an avocado appetizer that he loved. The atmosphere is beautiful, very open and airy with soothing colors. The staff here is very welcoming and friendly. Definitely worth trying this place as you will not be disappointed.
