Nigiri (yellowtail, salmon, and flounder)
Alma S.

This is one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to in my life! The fish was so fresh and tasty, the atmosphere was nice, and the restaurant was so clean! Our waiter, Johnny, was very kind and attentive and made our experience that much more enjoyable. I recommend this place to anyone who likes good food and vibes.

Little rice roll with the tasty sauce, six-three roll, MJ roll, pink lady

Little Rice Roll - Amazing as always, we really enjoy the sauce it comes with Pink Lady Roll - good! M. J. Roll - fresh and yummy. The yellowtail was really good. I liked that the spicy mayo was on the side (I prefer without spicy mayo but my fiancé loves it, so I really liked the option on the side for that roll) Six-three Roll - tried it for the first time and we LOVED it, fresh and tasty! Great quality sushi in BR. Service is excellent! We enjoy dining each time, also take out quality is good too!

Rock n Roll and the Thuy V roll.

It's the best sushi in town. It's amazing every single time. I've eaten everywhere for sushi. I do wish the rolls could be smaller sizes like the NYC and the west coast bc it makes it hard to eat, but everyone makes huge rolls in this area.

Asahi Beer

Hidden gem in Baton Rouge. A lowkey, bar hall vibe with long tables and all glasses served in mugs. You walk in and it feels like a warm hug. Excellent pork gyoza (the shrimp is fantastic too). Very delicious and well made sushi. We had the chicken katsu as well and it didn't disappoint. What i loved most is that they serve large Asahi beers (one of the only places in BR that has Asahi). I can't wait to go back.

Left to right Tiger roll, Rock and Roll, Yama Roll

The sushi was SUPER fresh! Great quality. Definitely on the extra pricy side.. three rolls was $80+ with no drink in that price. Worth it for my first visit to Baton Rouge tho. Server was very friendly, sushi felt like it took a while to get but it was a pretty busy night and we weren't in a rush. I liked that they gave you pineapple with your bill!

Rainbow roll, Philly roll, Dynamite roll

Sushi Yama is a great choice for sushi lovers in Baton Rouge! While the prices are slightly higher than other nearby restaurants, the quality is absolutely stellar. Note that you also receive a delicious cucumber salad before your meal and pieces of pineapple when you receive your bill. If you have a chance to sit at the sushi bar, you'll be amazed to see how quickly the sushi chefs work while you wait for them to work on your order. The service here was fantastic as well. As a party of two, we were in and out in slightly less than an hour (enjoyed an appetizer and shared a few rolls). The inside doesn't look like much, but it's simplistic and clean - very on point to what you would find in Japan. Don't let that fool you! Note that they don't take reservations, but you can always call to see how long of a wait there is!

Tuna appetizer $34
Courtney K.

Great place with delicious sushi. As others have noted, there's a free little cucumber vinegar salad to start and pineapple triangles at the end. Service was very nice. Ample parking. I ordered a tuna appetizer as my entree and will say I expected more for $34. Overall I would return and order rolls instead.

George roll to the left

You have to try the george roll!! SO delicious if you like spicy tuna. Service was great. Definitely a place you could go for lunch or for dinner.

Snowcrab Eggroll
Rebekah C.

Love this restaurant. It is one of my favorite sushi places in town. It's fresh, flavorful, and consistent. Also the restaurant is very clean and the staff is always kind

Hawaiian Seafood Salad
Teodora I.

Sushi lovers rejoice - sushi Yama has a fantastic offering of rolls. While very pricey, you can tell the fish is quality and the rolls are HUGE and one roll is a meal on its own. Love that their dishes really highlight the fish and offer diverse options.

Great Sushi

Best sushi rolls and the most authentic Japanese food in the area. Service is always great. I think the rainbow roll is my favorite.

The sushi is hands down the best in Baton Rouge. I've eaten sushi all over the US, and nothing compares in my opinion!

Food: 5/5 (for buffet experience) Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 3.5/5 I visited this location in 2021 with my family when it was under previous ownership. The 2021 visit food was below average and service wasn't much to speak of. I live nearby and have been wanting to visit here and try the lunch buffet. I was not disappointed at all. I don't think I've eaten at a Chinese lunch buffet in the BR area that I really enjoyed. I brought my son and he is picky and he enjoyed just about everything he tried. We sampled a good variety. Side note: I've eaten at the other place at Sherwood & Coursey, just around the corner and my visit was once with no desire to return. Food: A really good variety to choose from on the buffet. They buffet is from 11am - 4pm, it's not an all day buffet. The variety they have is definitely quality over quantity. Very impressed with price of $12.99 and the quality of food. Egg roll was good, House Made Roll was excellent! The crab Rangoon was not lacking, it had ample amount of cream cheese, no skimping there. Honey Chicken was good, Sesame Chicken was excellent, had a little spice to the sweetness too. Hunan pork was excellent, beef and broccoli was the only item that was average to me. Sweet & sour chicken, friend rice, lo mein, was very good. No General Tso's or Mandarin Chicken on the buffet. Unsure if they take any requests for specific items to be placed on buffet. Service: I believe the owner was the one that greeted us and sat us at our table. Very nice, attentive, and had good small talk about FIFA World Cup. He immediately took our drink order and drinks were at our table before we returned. Ambiance: Place had a decemt ambiance to it. Very clean. I do remember the old Hunan's ambiance was cool because of the old celebrity photos on the wall that had a good amount of LSU stars. This definitely doesn't have that, but I wish it did resemble some of that, maybe one day it will. The important aspect is the great quality of the food, because I definitely wasn't there for the decor. To my surprise this place wasn't jam packed. I was nervous when I walked in because not many patrons inside, but when we left there was about 5 more tables filled. This place should be more packed.

My husband & I came in for a late lunch, around 3 or 4ish pm. We had been wanting to try a Chinese…read morebuffet and chose Hunan over their great health score and overall positive reviews. The inside was clean, spacious, and wasn't busy, which was nice bec we weren't fighting swarms of people like at a typical buffet. I tried a little sample of just about everything. I loved how the food was hot and I'd say the chicken dishes were my favorite. I was pleased with the price, it was a little over $30 for 2 adults, which I felt was good for an AYCE buffet on the weekend. Overall, I'd recommend Hunan if you're in the mood for a fair priced delicious AYCE Chinese buffet!
