    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Stopped in for a late lunch and had the place to myself. Upon walking in I was greeted with a smile…read moreand given the option to sit where I'd like. Started off with the pork bao bun! Great pork flavor and the greens were crunch and crispy that added great freshness to it. There was also a sauce that added nice flavor. Had some Philadelphia rolls to eat and kept it basic. Overall they tasted great and enjoyed my meal. This is a nice big space and overall had a great dining experience.

    * the egg in my Ramen tasted rotten*…read more Well, that was a good hook, wasn't it, I felt like the restaurant still deserve five stars, the best restaurant in my opinion in Baton Rouge besides Soji. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice, the menu had pictures and was more extensive than I thought. The service here was great. The food came out fast and here are my highlights. I got the hibachi Crudo and that was pretty good! Good flavor and good quality. next, the sushi that I got was a very delicious, I love coconut flavors with sushi, the sauce that came with was pretty good. Good quality again and was very refreshing. The Ramen was the best part of the meal, one of the biggest Rams have I've had and for the price it was already worth it. Great presentation with a load of toppings. The quality of the toppings were great, but again, just like my first sentence, the egg felt and tasted rotten which ruined the whole mood but again the Ramen was one of the best taste of Ramen I've had. The Ramen was a bit salty but overall, if I were to come back, I would get the Ramen again, I highly recommend!
