Portions were good and presentation was clean without feeling overdone. Service was friendly and attentive. Staff checked in at the right times and food came out at a steady pace. It made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. The space is modern and nicely put together, with a calm and comfortable vibe that works well for both casual meals and catching up with friends. Overall, great balance of food, service, and ambiance. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and want a reliable sushi spot.

I've been to Kokoro many times but let me tell you they remodeled in January and the place looks…read moreentirely different. It's always been good but now they really stepped up their game. The ambience has improved tremendously and everything is so cute with a full sushi bar. They also have a greatly expanded menu and are offering many items that you won't find elsewhere. One of those that I tried is the castle tower. This is composed of 3 fired wonton wrappers each topped with blue crab, avocado slices and a little bit of red onion. Presentation is very nice and the blue crab was a generous helping. Honestly, everything was really good and I cannot wait to go back.

I called to place an order around 2 pm today. Well after lunch hour. Person who answered the phone…read morejust said "please hold" . I waited for over 10 minutes until I finally got tired of waiting and hung up. I called back and same person pretended to be the manager but no restaurant manager would just leave a customer order hanging like that so I don't think so. I Hope the real manager sees this and investigates. The fact is that either dine in or order out, this place is always a mess. Slow waiters, or even few waiters for multiple tables, slow food prep, unorganized management and operation of dining area overall is always chaos like its everyone's first day. Little did I know same experience calling in a simple order for a California roll! Seriously? Monterey Park's Kaiba Sushi who is their competition just down Atlantic has always been very well organized even when super busy. Staff is friendly and doesn't make excuses for having too many people and not enough staff. I will not be supporting Sushi Kokoro again.

This is the type of place that serves more Japanese traditional food items vs the Americanized items, you won't find cream cheese or anything outside the Japanese dishes.

Yama still delivers on quality and price but don't come here on Mother's Day as there was a real…read morelong line just to get inside. Once inside, you still need to take a number and wait to order sashimi. I guess most moms want sashimi for Mother's Day? Pre-ordered trays can be picked up at the front counter. BUT, the big news (to me at least) is that Yama will be expanding and taking the space next door that used to be Thai Paradise. They plan to have seating and this should also alleviate the issue like today where they just can't let everyone inside due to limited space.

Yama means "mountain" in Japanese. I think the name is very befitting, because once you walk in,…read moreyou will notice the mountains of sushi and sashimi the store has to offer. On the left side, you will find fridges full of premade rolls and some cooked foods. Head towards the back and you will find the sashimi counter. Pick the pieces of fish that you want and they will cut and package for you. There is a very nice Asian gentleman who works behind the sashimi counter, and he actually taught me how to spot a good piece of sashimi! The premade sushi is on a first come first serve basis, so once they sell out then it's done for the day. Here are my usual picks: California Rolls- Yama is known for this Spicy tuna Rolls- Bite sized, perfectly seasoned tuna Albacore sashimi- surprisingly, this is in the fridge, not the sashimi counter Chicken karaage- The mayo based dipping sauce is unique but delicious Salmon, yellowtail, otoro sashimi- Perfect sliced pieces of high quality fish Right now it is just grab and go. But they are expanding to the space next door to provide seating and possibly hot foods. They also have a great selection of party platters, but orders must be placed in advance. Check their website or call the store for details and availability. Pro tip: if you have a long drive home, ask for a bag of ice from the cashier to keep the food cold.

We really were impressed with the service. One half star docked only for the wait - We had a reservation for 7:30pm on a Friday for a party of 7 - we ended up still having to wait an extra 30 min to be seated. I'd give it 4.5 stars if we could!

I recently visited this sushi restaurant that is located in the Sheraton hotel. Plenty of parking…read morein the underground parking structure. Make sure to get your ticket validated at the front desk to get 3 hours of free parking! The restaurant was a little difficult to locate because they didn't have any signs. Turns out they share the same seating area as the hotel's buffet. It wasn't until we were near the entrance that we saw a Yuki sushi sign. The restaurant looks very clean and modern and is very different from other typical sushi restaurants. Food: We ordered a yellowtail collar, black cod, an assortment of sashimi that the chef picked for us, dragon roll, and a baked salmon roll. The yellowtail collar was so good. The fish was very soft and kinda melts in your mouth. The sashimi was very fresh and thickly cut. Service: Service was very good. We were the only table dining here so they were very attentive towards us. The chef was talking to us the whole time and making sure we were satisfied during our time dining. He even personally delivered every dish to our table! He also gave us mochi ice cream on the house! We will definitely come back again!

The small lot has crowded parking, but there's street parking and I was very lucky. It's a small mom & pops place, which usually is a great sign for sushi. Because seating is quite limited, reservations for omakase (really good value) at the bar is recommended & definitely get on the Yelp waitlist as soon as you're within 2 miles or you will be in for a wait. The staff here is knowledgeable about the menu so don't be shy about asking for their specials. We waited 15-20 min, but I will say the food is so worth it. Must tries, crispy bites, king crab chawanmushi, black cod handrolls, the bluefin burrata. Everything tasted excellent, which is rare. Even the ice cream made in house was phenomenal & I'd go back just for that.
