We wanted to go to a sushi restaurant, as opposed to our local take-out sushi, but right before we…read moreleft, I looked and saw that the one we planned to go to was closed on Sundays. So, after quickly searching through Yelp, we decided on Yama and it was the right choice. We were the first customers to arrive on a Sunday afternoon, shortly after 1 pm. The atmosphere was quite relaxed, and the service was great and family-friendly. They also have a small children's bookshelf with many books and some toys, perfect for our 5 year old son.
We ordered the Wakame Salat which was ok, but we preferred the seaweed salad from our take-out. Then we split the Sushiplatte 6 and 14 between us. It was fresh and the individual pieces were the right size. With the utensils, they included a pair of training chopsticks, which our son had fun eating with (with a little frustration).
We would definitely come back to Yama. Besides being kid-friendly, there was a family group (10 people) that was sitting next to us, as well as a couple in the more secluded back area. Also, there is no TV that I noticed, which is good to keep you focused on the food, not what is on the screen.
