    Overall the food is pretty good for dinner AYCE. I DO NOT like the tuna or even their toro. grizzly. Fatty tuna should melt in your mouth. This one is far from it. TOUGH. The other sashimi is good:sweet shrimp, salmon, scallop, white tuna,squid, octopus. The rolls are decent. We tried hand roll for spicy tuna,spicy salmon, soft shell crab. Pretty good. Service is good and fast.

    Dinner Price for Labor Day Holiday. They are now serving Toro (blue fin tuna). The service here sucked today. This place was packed on labor day holiday. But the service was lacking and we came in when they just opened at 12pm. We had to flag servers / staff to remind them why food is taking too long etc. NO water refills unless asked. The toro sashimi was tough to chew it is supposed to be butter soft melt in your mouth but for some reason unless soaked in soy sauce the fish was mediocre. I would go back to the plain salmon sashimi. The seared salmon nigiri was not bad. I prefer raw salmon instead. The baked mussels were good they placed good amount of sauce topping on top. This is my favorite dinner app they don't serve this on lunch menu. The steamed edamame was not served with salt - Had to request salt to sprinkle on top. The tamago sashimi is not house made but still good to eat because it has a slight sweetness in the palate. They took too long to serve the REGULAR not fried cheesecake. Its still a good dessert and also i like the strawberry ice cream because it has chunks of fresh strawberries in it. Noticed they hired more staff here. But still lacked of good customer service imo. With no drink just water per person came out to $38ish. That is the dinner price or "holiday" price.

    Tonight was not a good experience at one of my favorite sushi places. A couple of my friends and I wanted to meet to have sushi before going out to icon park and for them it was their first time here. Our server , Anne was the worst from her attitude to her lack of attention to the table. After placing our order she only came back once and we had to ask other severs for napkins and eel sauce. I understand the place was busy but we were there until 10 and it just got worse. She completely messed up our checks and had an attitude when presented with asking her to correct them. I did speak to the manager before leaving and he wasn't much help outside of saying " I will speak to her ". I'm super disappointed ! Service -1 Food -4

    A really solid AYCE sushi spot! There's plenty of parking within the plaza it is in, but it can get really busy. It's close to the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel, so any conventions/events may increase the crowd here too. Even with a long line, we were seated within an hour (with a large party as well). The atmosphere is sort of "generally Asian", with some Chinese calligraphy and whatnot on the walls, rather than specifically Japanese, which was a little funny. It was well-lit and welcoming, though, which i liked. There's a decent amount of seating, but it isn't enough for their busiest hours. The service is the highlight here--all the servers were friendly and attentive, and the food came out pretty quickly after ordering as well. Though they don't always remember who ordered what, they are quick to take empty plates and quick to set down new orders. They do also come out to do a small celebration song if it's your birthday. The menu is pretty solid--I was a big fan of the variety of appetizers and sashimi/nigiri, which included plenty of tempura and the standard assortment of fish types. Everything is presented in a visually appealing way, which impressed me as many AYCE places do not bother with presentation. The rolls menu was kind of lackluster, though. So much tempura, cream cheese, or imitation crab . . . I really couldn't find more than a couple rolls that suited my taste. Overall, I think this is a pretty solid spot! I think there are one or two other AYCE places (including ones near this area) that I like more, but I would definitely not turn down an invitation to visit.

    Got the all you can eat deal, and the sashimi pieces were all very fresh, and the seafood that were cooked werent overcooked so the texture of the food (mussels, etc.) were perfect. The beef from the hibachi is also super tender and delicious; not too salty and were thick cubes. The fried cheesecake was a bit too rich for my liking, but wasnt too sweet. The servers were almost always around and ready to take our orders.

    My friends and I (party of 7) met at Sushi Yama for lunch. We were seated at a table near the front next to the bar. Tranh came over and introduced herself. She advised us that if any one wanted all-you-can-eat the entire table would have to order all-you-can-eat. We told her we didn't want all-you-can-eat and to bring us regular menus. Tranh returned and told us she didn't have enough regular menus for the entire table. We found that bizarre because the restaurant had just open and there was only one other group besides us at the time. We told her we would just have to share. While we looked over the menus, Tranh brought cups of water. I didn't see the flavored teas on the menu so I asked her about them. I was disappointed to learn that the flavored teas are no longer available. I loved the tea I had last time we visited and was looking forward to having another one this visit. While trying to decide what I wanted to drink, my friend ordered a Yama Coconut Heaven. When she received it, she offered us a taste. It was heavenly. I loved it so much I decided to order one as did another friend who also sampled the drink. The Yama Coconut Heaven had a great balance of the Bacardi Coconut Rum, Sake, Pineapple Juice, Coconut Puree and Champagne. To share, I ordered the Spicy Combo (Tuna, Salmon, and Yellowtail Sushi Rolls). For my entree, I selected the Steak Hibachi . The hibachi came with the choice of white or fried rice, miso or clear soup and a salad. I chose miso and substituted for brown rice. The food came out quickly. We had to shuffle items around to make space for the food. I was so full from the soup, salad, and some of the sushi rolls that I had to take the rest home. I did sample a piece of steak before packing the food in the to-go containers. The steak was satisfying good. It was tender, flavored well, and cooked perfectly. The leftovers reheated well. Some of my friends and I are already planning to return for sushi rolls and more of the Yama Coconut Heaven.

    Pretty good for an all you can eat which we chose (you can also opt to al a carte purchase). We had everything from sashimi, sushi, habachi, fried rice, lo mein, fried cheesecake and ice cream. It was all good. Service was reasonable. The con - the bathrooms needed serviced. Management needs to better manage the cleanliness.

    This place was packed on a Saturday night, but the queue moved quickly! There were 20 groups ahead of us for a party of 4 and we only waited about 35 minutes! They conveniently have a waitlist you can sign up for on their tablet, which will notify you by text once your table is ready. You can also check the link provided once adding your name to the waitlist to see how many groups are still ahead of you. Our favorite fish is salmon which did not disappoint. The salmon sashimi was very fresh and generously portioned. I enjoyed the salmon run roll and kobe 24 rolls the most. Note that the kobe 24 roll has a thin slice of lime on it which can overpower the other flavors. I love lime so I enjoyed that roll very much . Overall, everything we ordered was pretty good and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. It is conventiently located in a shopping center which has plenty of parking and a few shops to stroll around while waiting for your table if it's busy. The decor is a bright, yet fun take on your traditional Japanese restaurant - calligraphy on the walls and paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

    Great Japanese restaurant. We really enjoyed the food here. Everything was delicious and fresh. The customer service was also great. We didn't like the fact that we arrived about 10 min before the buffet was closing and we were still offered a buffet. Like there is no time! They also told us if we can't finish the food we order (not take but order, so we can't even see how it looks and can't taste first), they weight and we will be charged for that. Thats why we decided to order from the menu. Prices looked good enough. We would definitely come back again and try more dishes from the menu.

    Absolutely delicious! The variety and the quality is a 10/10 You get a lot for your money! The service is excellent and the ambiance is relaxing.

    It was nearly 5p when we finally stopped for our late lunch/early dinner and Sushi Yama was the spot we parked our starving selves. There was a wait list but it went relatively quickly. We came to realize they offer a AYCE offering but we went with the a la carte instead because that is much more food than what we would eat. Our server Cindy was friendly and wonderful at keeping track of our meal and drinks. We started with garlicky edemame which was subtle and good. It might have needed a small touch of kosher salt to give it a bit more kick. My rolls were huge, tasty and very filling with lots of fresh ingredients. My kamikasi roll was delicious as was the yama jumbo, which lived up to its name. I pushed through towards the end because my belly was stuffed but I couldn't leave anything uneaten, that's just wrong. If you choose the AYCE it's $36.

    If you're looking for a great all-you-can-eat sushi spot, this place is definitely worth checking out. For $23, everything on the menu is included, which is an incredible value considering the quality and variety. The service was fantastic. Our waiter took the time to explain how the menu worked, what was included, and even how they handle excessive leftovers. We didn't end up having any leftovers, but I appreciated him being upfront about it. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the salad, but that was 100% a personal preference and not a reflection on the restaurant. In fact, when I mentioned I didn't care for it, the waiter didn't charge me for it, which was a nice touch. I meant to take pictures of all the rolls, but honestly, we were hungry and they disappeared too fast. Every roll we tried was really good. Highly recommend. Great food, great service, and a great value.

    Fried cheesecake and ice cream. Save room for dessert!
    Angel C.

    Who doesn't love a good all you can eat. This place delivers a table service all you can eat that is both delicious and reasonable. Love the all you can eat without the buffet line and sitting food. The staff here is super nice. They don't rush you at all and even encourage you to eat more and try things. The restaurant is clean and well lit and the decor is worthy of the touristy side of town where it is. My wife tried their cucumber refresher and it was so good we might do more drinks next time. 10/10 love thos place and please save room for dessert! The fried cheesecake is awesome!

    Ask the Community - Sushi Yama

    Is the AYCE only for sushi or can we also order fried rice or chicken hibachi?

    They also have fried rice, or noodles! If you see in my review I ordered the noodles and u pick the protein 😀 all included..small portions but u can order more if needed. The noodles were very delicious

    What do they charge per person at dinner?

    They charge $34.99 which includes all you can eat sushi rolls, sashimi, specialty rolls, hibachi, tempuras, soups salad and more. Beverages are not included in the price it is separate and about $4.

    What time does their lunch AYCE end? Edit: I found the answer, it is open to 3:30pm for anyone…

    I never went there for lunch. They have lunch specials, but that's from 11 to 3 and it's not all you can eat.

    Do they take reservations?

    No. Its first come first serve

The Hokkaido which was seared scallops, lobster, crab, tobiko and a couple other things was insane in the best way. The seafood was soooo fresh and the flavors blended perfectly. The yellowtail melted in my mouth and I was trying so hard not to inhale it because the portion was nice but I do wish it was bigger for the price.

Service was great throughout my visit, and the staff were attentive. The Susuru Gohan was fantastic and definitely my favorite dish of the night. It comes with a soy-cured organic raw egg yolk, sweet aged soy, onion, Japanese seasoning, and steamed rice. I added both uni and ikura, and everything paired really well together. I would absolutely order this again! Their drinks and cocktail menu is very extensive and I chose the Ultraman drink, which was great. It's made with Haku vodka, lime juice, cinnamon chai syrup, grenadine, cran-apple, and ginger beer, topped with a dehydrated apple and normally a limited mini Ultraman toy. They were out of the toy when I went, so they offered a $2 discount, which I didn't mind at all. For yakitori, I tried the Hiza Nankotsu (knee cartilage). Their skewers are prepared in-house and grilled over Japanese binchōtan charcoal, then finished with aged tare and served with Susuru citrus salt. The knee cartilage was good and had a nice crunchy texture. I also tried the Mi-So-Hot ramen which comes with pork chashu, a shoyu soft-boiled egg, corn, scallions, chili hair, and spicy miso broth. It was just okay for me. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, but nothing really stood out either. With so many other options on the menu, I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Susuru! The attentive service made solo dining at the bar comfortable, and the Susuru Gohan was easily the highlight of my meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

It's near the parks but out of the way and hidden enough that unless you somehow discovered this gem, you'd have no idea it was there.

Everyone was super kind and accommodating, and they even filled up my husband's water bottle for him with filtered water as she knew we were going back to the parks.

The beef ribs were mostly fat and still very tough to chew. The chicken was woody breast, making it dry and very difficult to eat. The rice was even worse. They replaced it three times. The first two batches were hard, and the third batch was actually undercooked. The service was by far the biggest disappointment. Even though ordering is done on an iPad, they still kept forgetting items. We had to remind the staff multiple times before the food finally arrived. Every dish took 10-15 minutes or longer to arrive, yet customers are expected to finish their meal within a 90-minute time limit. This is a Japanese BBQ restaurant where the staff is simply bringing out raw meat for customers to grill at the table. There is really no reason it should take 10-15 minutes to deliver each order. To make it even more frustrating, the restaurant wasn't even busy. During our entire meal, there were only two or three other tables occupied, so it's hard to understand why the service was so slow and disorganized. To make matters worse, an 18% service charge was automatically added to the bill. I don't mind paying a service charge for good service, but charging that much when the service is this slow and disappointing feels completely unjustified. Our bill was over $210 for three people, and that didn't even include any drinks. At that price, there are many better Japanese BBQ options available. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend this place.

    Always delicious - never disappoints! Dragonfly has such a great vibe! Can't wait to go back!read more

    Had a great magical dining experience yesterday at Dragonfly. Was seated in the sushi bar after a…read moresmall wait. I took a special cocktail that I forgot the name, but it was made with rice vodka. It was a sweet and fruity cocktail, and the booze feeling came afterwards. Pretty good for 16 bucks. The magical dining came with four courses. I wanted to try the seaweed salad for my first course, which was marinated nicely in soy sauce. It looked like noodles, but had a nice small crunch after every bite. My second course was nigiri sushi, which included salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. All of them were nice and fresh, and most of them melted in my mouth as well. Adding the house made soy sauce added the umami needed. The third course was the volcano roll, which was hemachi, bacon, jalapeno, and avocado in the bottom, with scallops and imitation crab on top. It was very enjoyable, especially the scallops and fish. The food was quite filling as well. Thankfully I still had room for dessert, and the ube flan was sinfully good. It tasted like an authentic flan with the ube fusion. It was better than the flan at some Mexican restaurants. The service was professional and more attentive than the last time I visited. It was pretty quick as well. The vibe still look chic and upscale. Definitely worthy of the three diamonds it got from AAA. Parking is still free and easy at the complex. Outdoor seating was available and has great views of the fountains. I am so happy that I finally got an excellent magical dining experience for 2026. I guess third time was the charm. Dragonfly had great quality of food and it was quite filling too. And it is still 40 dollars for magical dining, making this a great deal. This is definitely still a great upscale sushi restaurant in the Dr. Phillips area. Overall: A

    RAMEN LOVERS If you want some flavorful ramen, and a dope atmosphere look no further. Domu is the…read moreplace to be. Things to call out: I don't believe they accept reservations so be prepared to wait because this place gets PACKED OUT. They do have outdoor seating as well as bar seating. I would say the longest I've probably waited was 45 minutes. The servers are great as well. The Domu wings were so flavorful! The ramen- oof 10/10. I love a good broth and the Tonkastu ramen had such a creamy, full and rich flavor My mouth is literally watering right now thinking about it lol. If you want something lighter but still have the flavor I would say go with the Miso ramen. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place.

    My husband and I came in, it was our first time and let me say I don't enjoy writing reviews like…read morethis but it's been on my mind for a bit since dining in thinking about how we were treated. The food was GREAT, our server not so much. We got there around 7ish, we were greeted by the host nice and friendly smiles and they told us it's about a 45 min wait for a table. They said we could grab a drink and apps from the bar while we wait. We got a couple cocktails from the funny bartender again super friendly and was happy to take care of us, my husband got the smoked old fashioned and I got the debatable fruit. Cocktails were perfection. Our buzzer went off early which obviously made us happy, the host took us to our table. We sat there, and sat there and sat there. Probably a good 10-15 minutes before we were greeted by our server. When our server finally came up everything just felt off. She didn't introduce herself didn't ask if we had any questions just asked if we were ready. We genuinely felt like an inconvenience. We didn't know she was our server but we actually thought she was a guest because we saw her at the table near us with a phone out just hanging out at a table obviously the entire time we were waiting. Anything that we asked she responded with a condescending tone. Again we felt like we were an inconvenience, I guess we were taking her away from her friends ?! We then ordered our food, the kimchi wings literally amazing, my husband got the Richie rich and I got the tantan. The tantan was oh so savory, creamy with some spice. SO GOOD. My husband ate the Richie rich so quick he didn't even let me try but he said was good. We wanted to order another round of drinks but she barely came by to see if we needed anything. She checked on us maybe once after we got our ramen. Now we wait for our check. And wait. And wait. I get up to heads towards the bathroom and I see our server hitting a vape right next to the kitchen preparing food. I know those things are way better smelling than cigarettes but that kinda made me disgusted. I just really wanted to leave at that point. We waved down another employee to get our check. We still didn't know her name until she finally brought the receipt. Hanna. And that was that. Super rude way to send us off. Just walked away after dropping off the check. No words. The food was great and everyone else was great , they didn't make us feel like an inconvenience but if and when we decide to return , we will make sure NOT to sit with HANNA again. And hopefully this isn't a normal thing that employees vape next to food thats getting prepared for human consumption.. Yuck.
