    Tan, our server, was excellent. He kept checking on us throughout our meal, which is appreciated at a buffet-style restaurant. There was a great variety of food to choose from, including both raw and cooked dishes. The sashimi quality was a bit mixed--some were good while others were just okay--but overall, it was still very good for the price. I like the tempura ice cream! The restaurant is spacious and comfortable. The only downside was that the women's restroom was out of service, and the men's restroom was too dark.

    Two things occurred last Saturday night: I was craving sushi and the Yelp app was down so I couldn't check in for my first visit to Sushi Yama just outside of the Castleton mall. I had no idea it was all you can eat situation and hesitated at first to commit to that as I don't usually eat enough to justify it. After looking at the menu which includes Sashimi, Sushi rolls, Hibachi, Ramen, soup, appetizers and a salad bar I decided to go for it. My favorite was the hibachi. The noodles and veggies were delicious!! I loved the flavor. The rest of items were pretty standard but good. Our server, Tan was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is huge and nicely decorated.

    I heard about this place on Instagram and went the same day for early dinner. It's in the old Houlihan's spot attached to Castleton mall. It's super dark inside - had to use my phone flashlight to read the menu. Weekends and holidays are $36/pp and M-F 11a-3p is $23/pp, which includes all you can eat sushi, ramen, hibachi, various appetizers, and a small salad/fresh fruit bar - not a bad price. You get 90 minutes per table to order as much as you want, so I'd suggest your group arrive at the same time. Soda is extra for $3 with unlimited refills, Japanese sodas are $4/ea, and alcohol is $5/ea. With food made to order, food is a little slow but will come out in waves when you order multiple things, which I suggest to save time. Our waitress, Joyce, was lovely! The appetizer portions are very small, which I appreciate so there's less chance for waste - you can always order more. The sushi quality was not bad - not the best in the area but very fresh and made to order. My spouse said the ramen was okay, the pork and noodles were pretty good but the broth just lacked any flavor. Shrimp tempura had a very strange texture but chicken tempura was good. I loved the gyoza and the dipping sauce - those were excellent. Really bummed the only salad dressing is ranch, the thick sour kind (not house made) but the fresh fruit bar was awesome, with fresh strawberries, blueberries, green and red grapes, honeydew, pineapple, and frozen yellow watermelon. You can ask for ginger dressing from the back (not advertised) but it's thick and brown, not the traditional kind - I wasn't a fan. The salad bar also has wasabi, ginger, seafood salad, seaweed salad. The hibachi comes in a kids size portion, again you can order multiple so I appreciate the smaller size. Getting it with fried rice or noodles is optional. The tempura fried ice cream was suggested by our waitress but it was terrible - very wet and mushy thick batter, no crunch, lacked any flavor. Overall might return, but with a soda, tax, and tip it came out to over $50/pp. That's not bad for all that you get but overall quality is higher elsewhere.

    Sushi Yama is easily one of my favorite AYCE sushi spots in Indianapolis. The price is definitely worth it for everything you get; unlimited appetizers, sushi, sashimi (dinner menu only) a salad bar, and even ice cream. Every time I've gone, the food has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. The restaurant and bathrooms are always clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I'll definitely keep coming back, especially for the Cowboy Roll. I crave it all the time.

    I'm a sushi lover, however during lent I make an effort to have it on Fridays, and since I've not been here yet, I decided to check them out. Near the mall on 82nd, so you have plenty of parking, just watch out for massive pot holes! Was able to get a seat right away, and they explained the concept of all you can eat (which I loved because I've never had it until today) for 35 dollars you can get anything off the menu (outside of drinks) if you leave a bunch of extras you get charged; which is a great way to combat food waste. I went to town and ordered a bit of everything! It was fresh and tasty, and I enjoyed my rainbow and baby tiger roll! Definitely will be back, and this spot is worth checking out; they also have other options besides sushi!

    YES INDY FINALLY HAS AMAZING AYCE SUSHU! I'm from Vegas where we have so many AYCE sushi options and I always miss that when getting sushi. I want to get all the appetizers and extras when I go and this is the best way to do it. Sushi Yama just opened last month and the quality was great. The dinner menu is HUGE and there is even a self serve salad and dessert bar (with soft serve ice cream). Our server was so sweet, the food was fast, everything was clean. We absolutely loved it. It is outside the castleton mall so easy parking! Definitely come hungry What we ordered: Mango salmon appetizer (MUST) Yellowtail jalapeño appetizer King Kai Roll Fresh Passion Roll Dynamite Roll Crazy Yellowtail Roll Soo much sashimi (tuna, salmon, yellowtail and more ) Seaweed salad Miso soup Edamame Shumai Tonkatsu Ramen Tempura Fried Ice Cream And the self service bar options

    Fish was quality was solid compared to other AYCE sushi and conveyor belt places in Indiana Sashimi available Sushi rolls has a lot of variety and not too much rice (forgot to take pic of menu) Nirigiri kinda had medium amt of rice Menu had hibachi, fried options, udon which was solid for a non sushi eater with us I like the mango rolled in salmon a lot, mango was perfectly ripe Not a fan of the sauce on the tartare, it's like teriyaki bbq sauce and kinda heavy ~$35 per person And I ended up eating like ~40 sushi bites which I think is very fair!

    Unlimited sashimi for dinner with incredible quality. They have everything, special rolls, appetizers, soups, ramen, katsu, hibachi. Everything served by piece so you can have a little taste of everything or a portion for sharing! Staff were incredibly kind and did a great job cleaning in between customers and orders. The space is gorgeous no matter where you are seated, I especially love the lighting and decorations. AYCE sushi is a gift to this earth.

    Fruit bar
    Nicole D.

    Food was good and the restaurant was clean. You can order as you go, we usually put in 3-4 things at a time so the table wasn't cramped. The portions were small for the appetizers which was nice so that you could try a lot of variety of options. There was a small salad bar, ice cream machine, and fruit bar that you could help yourself at. I only tried the fruit of the 3 but it tasted very fresh! Overall good food and service but since I'm not big on sushi it was a little expensive. The steak hibachi had great flavor and was a small portion so you can try multiple things. I ended up getting it twice.

    I love sushi, and I love all you can eat. This restaurant is the best of both worlds! For a reasonable price (around $35 for dinner), this place offers great sushi and Japanese dishes for all you can eat. Highly recommend trying any sushi roll, fried rice, hibachi steak, and fried tempura ice cream! The food tastes great, and they serve it pretty quickly. We have multiple different servers, and Kelly was the best. She stopped by our table multiple times to check up on an order that never arrived and made sure we got it. She even spent 10 minutes talking to us, which was so nice. They were so open to feedback as well. The restaurant has lots of seating and can definitely host a big group. It's part of the Castleton Square Mall, so there's tons of free parking.

    Steak Hibachi w/ Rice

    My husband picked out this restaurant for us to try. It's located just outside of the Castleton Mall. We came for dinner around 6pm and it wasn't crowded at all. Even if it was, there would be more than enough seating available. Lots of natural lighting during the day and a reasonable amount as it gets dark. Very cute set up. Easy to navigate. Our server was very friendly and service was EXTREMELY FAST. We did the all you can eat dinner and for about $35 we thought that was more than a steal. In total we had: fruit, salad, cheese wontons, dumplings (i think?), Cowboy Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Chicken Tempura, Steak Hibachi/Rice, Shrimp Fried Rice, Ramen and Ice Cream Everything but the ramen was amazing honestly. Even though the ramen was a little disappointing, our server notified us before hand it wasn't the best so we loved the honesty!! Despite that, everything else was delicious. The Cowboy Roll specifically was very interesting. It was shrimp tempura roll with crab, mayo and STEAK on top! It was my first time having anything like it. I could go on and on about each dish but it was ALL TOO GOOD. My husband and I cleared every dish. We will be coming back every time we are in town. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Best feature compared to Shoya Revolving Sushi, nearest AYCE competition, is shorter WAIT for your food which is brought directly to your table rather than delivered by revolving belt. This is likely since it isn't as busy because it's newer and slightly more expensive BUT you get what you pay for because it offers more VARIETY! Especially for weekends, it's worth the difference!

    I'm literally writing the review still in the restaurant, our waiter is super professional and attentive. Everything was fresh and yummy, he made incredible suggestions. The ambiance is unmatched and would be the perfect spot for a date night. My daughter was super excited about everything that she had and asked to come back again next week.

Both of us landed on 1/5. Here's what we ordered: the Mega Bowl Ramen (Chashu & Shrimp) combo with Thai Tea and a Pork Bun, the Fried Squid Tentacle, and the Pork Belly Kamameshi. The ramen was salty and just didn't taste good, which was a real letdown given the crowd. The noodles came out firmer than what we're used to at places in Texas and Japan, and the chashu was the single best part of the whole bowl. The Thai Tea was a complete miss--it looked good but was overwhelmingly milky, like 85% milk, which isn't what Thai tea typically tastes like. The Pork Bun was drowning in sauce and overwhelming to eat. The Fried Squid Tentacle was the highlight of the meal, though it's comparable to what you'd find elsewhere. The Pork Belly Kamameshi was the worst item by far with a tiny amount of rice with a huge amount of sauce piled on top. We got through only about a fifth of the pan because it was too intense and far too little rice. To be fair, this spot gets a lot of love online for its broth and its novelty robot server (can be found in a lot of Japanese restaurants) so tastes clearly vary. But for the two of us, the meal was salty, oversauced, and unbalanced, and we wouldn't come back. 1/5.
