Ordered Tokyo street fries and salmon sushi trio off of the happy hour menu. Fries were…read moreunderwhelming. Sushi trio was a good deal, decent dish. Main meals: ordered chicken fried rice (way too salty), crunchy tuna roll - decent, but fish was meh, salmon roll - fine, dragon roll - okay (even though it was more tempura than shrimp in the roll), but came when everyone was done eating, took way too long. Service: fine, but slow, and not attentive enough. Dragon roll took too long (they must've forgotten it, along with the white rice we asked for) which was annoying. Vibe is like sushi restaurant meets TGI Fridays meets wanna be trendy spot. Didn't hit for us.

This review is strictly based upon our lunch delivery via Uber Eats…read more I ordered the Beef Bulgogi Bento Box. The Korean style beef was okay, but I needed to add eel sauce for some extra flavor. The 1/2 California Roll, gyoza and side salad with ginger dressing were fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the sushi roll the most. My two coworkers both ordered different types of sushi rolls. One had fish and the other was a sweet potato roll. The restaurant packed both of the rolls in the same box, which resulted in a mess, as the sauce on one roll got mixed in with the other roll. Again, this was take-out, so I am sure we would have had a different experience if we ate in the restaurant. I would like to try this restaurant again. Next time will be a dine-in meal instead of take-out.

Yama Japanese Restaurant has been around for a long time, though they have changed their location a…read morecouple of times. This was my first time visiting Yama and three things popped up on my mind as to how they were able to stay in business for so many years. 1) The warm hospitality of the owner chef who was Korean, still tending to his sushi bar and his customers after working behind the sushi bar himself for decades in his younger years. 2) The beautifully and intricately designed interior that reminded me of upscale looking Izakaya dining space that was still affordable. 3) The fresh quality ingredients that they use and in house made salad dressing was a nice touch. The sushi was decent. There was too much rice used and too much going on top of the sushi pieces for my liking, but I still managed to finish them. The servers were welcoming and the manager was very hospitable checking up on me to make sure I had everything that I needed. Will definitely recommend this place to others. The parking spaces were limited and it was crowded on a Friday night around 830pm.

Dined here last night for the 8 PM slot with the husband. We luckily got the whole place to…read moreourselves so let's pretend we got our own private omakase hehe You never think you'll get full when it comes to these small multiple course meals, but by the end, I was stuffed and disassociating trying to finish the last pieces. Everything tasted fresh and we enjoyed every bite (even when I was feeling so full). Chef Vincent was great. We really enjoyed talking with him and he was super kind and knowledgeable. We loved watching him work and he put a lot of care into every dish. He explained what everything served was and answered any questions we had. Honestly, I don't remember half of the things he said about what was what, but I greatly enjoyed eating it. The waitress was extremely attentive and sweet as well! Location itself is nice and parking isn't stressful. I loved the inside of the restaurant itself. It's a fairly small place so even if it's full, it would still feel intimate. We were celebrating my birthday and I received a little gift of a bracelet. I would recommend this place!

The food quality is amazing, our sushi chef Vincent is awesome and every piece of the omakase was…read moredelicious and well made. I love how our 17 course set includes hot and cold items. My favorite was the Miso cod and Wagyu steak. There's nigiri pieces, a hand roll and a nice sorbet to end the night. Besides uni, my highlights were the sea bream and mackerel. I also requested hot water with lemon and it came in a pot with a tea candle, very well presented! I was impressed. Our dining sets were cleared very efficiently. Wish the servers would be more friendly and smiled more though. What left a bad impression was the server was in such a rush to check out our group, she ran my card twice and then said she refunded and ran my husband's card once but upon checking my CC statement, nothing was refunded so we were charged 3 times for 2 people. When I called to clarify, she said there's nothing she could do as everything on their end was correct and I needed to contact my bank. After much turmoil back and forth, she was able to find the mistake (she refunded the wrong guest) and finally corrected it. Frustrating experience.

Saw the positive reviews and stopped in. I was, admittedly, skeptical and lowered my expectations…read morewhen I saw this was a chain restaurant. Man, was I wrong. We started off with the pickled cucumbers, with they offered as a gift for us visiting for the first time. Nice! One thing to note is that they bring everything to the table as soon as it's ready, which they mention up front. I wish more places did this, as your food is always nice and hot. We got the steamed chicken dumplings which were delicious. The real star of the show were the noodle dishes. We got the Singapore Mei Fun, Curry Duck Noodles, CKT (so good), and another noodle dish I can't remember. Deep, rich flavors with the perfect amount of spice. We sat outside and our server was terrific. We'll be back!

Very broad menu including ramen, sushi, tapas and many more Japanese specialties. I started with a Special Nigiri Hamachi, lime soy gel, serrano and micro cilantro. Very nice presentation but I thought it was pricey $9 for 1 piece but very good . For a main, I tried the Ramen Tonkotsu, pork broth, chashu pork belly, soft boiled egg, scallions, bamboo shoots, kikurage mushroom and nori. It was just ok. My had Wonton Soup with napa cabbage, asparagus, scallions and toasted garlic for a starter. Next, she ordered the Jb Roll, salmon, cream cheese, scallions i/o sesame seeds. Both were good. Unfortunately there are better Asian/Sushi restaurants in the area.

Realized I hadn't given Coco Sushi Lounge & Bar a proper shout-out yet, so here we go…read more I've stopped in a few times over the last couple of years for casual bites and drinks, and it's consistently been a good go-to. The space itself is really nice--spacious, high ceilings, lots of natural light, and (important to me) plenty of bar seating. The staff has always been friendly and attentive, though yes... I tend to make friends with staff at places I frequent. It just happens. Location-wise, it's just around the corner from E Atlantic Ave, which makes it easy to get to without being overrun by the tourist crowds that stick strictly to the Ave. This most recent visit was just for drinks and, surprisingly, dessert (rare sweet tooth moment). I asked what they had and immediately went with the mochi ice cream--no regrets. Four flavors that tasted like green tea, vanilla, strawberry, and mango, all drizzled with rich chocolate and topped with whipped cream. Definitely hit the spot. So yeah--recommend.

You'll have no problem finding parking as it has street parking all around and a garage that's $1.50 an hour (could be worse). The restaurant was clean and has a nice, calm vibe to it. The happy hour menu has a good selection of drinks and food. I like that it's offered everyday and at convenient times. We ordered: 1) Red Dragon and Triole Sexy ($13 per roll)- we liked it! Good presentation, simple, did not fall apart, tastes good. Price and portion was a plus 2) Salmon Carpaccio ($12)- comes with 5 pieces, topped with fried garlic and yuzu/truffle oil. I barely tasted truffle and I would think it would have came with more pieces, at least 6-8. Overall, tasted good 3) Beef short rib skewer ($9)- comes with 2 skewers of bite size pieces was underwhelming, a bit pricey. It was dry and def needed some oil and salt to make it juicy and some flavor Service was great! Sushi chefs did a great job with the rolls and apps. Do recommend for happy hour!

The food is consistently great--our go-to is the Del Ray sushi roll, which is such a unique combo with lobster and mango. The crab cake is outstanding (packed with flavor and not overly filler-heavy), and the crab artichoke dip is another must-order. They also have an exceptional wine list and a great cocktail selection, which really rounds out the experience. Overall, always a delicious and reliable spot--highly recommend!

Caveat; We only order from the "kitchen" options. We cannot rate their sushi dishes…read more Without question their food is the equal or superior to that of any Asian venue we have visited in the Boca or Delray areas. Our waiter was very helpful last night. At some point he told us to delete one dish we had ordered. "Too much food." A few negative issues: * We will only eat outside. The noise level inside is painful. * The first table we were offered outside we rejected. The Table was either too high or the chairs too low. Just uncomfortable. We opted for a still empty table that had it right. Don't owners check things like this out before ordering furniture? Bottom line: we will return.

I had a JB Roll and two Shrimp Tempura Rolls. It was a lot of food, and I have plenty of leftovers. The Shrimp Tempura was bogo on Uber Eats.

Next time, I will eat there, so I can check out the restaurant. I'm so excited that I found a good sushi place so close to my home!
