Veggie sushi burrito
Kara S.

I came to Yama japan to try out their sushi burrito, it was everything I wanted it to be. I definitely recommend them if you're a sushi lover! They aren't very big, so I got a roll on the side to make it a meal. If you're not a fan of sushi, they do have hibachi available to order as well. The restaurant is on the small side, but there are places to sit if you choose to dine in. Service was quick, we had a large order but did not wait long.

Sashimi Dinner
Dustin H.

So many of the take-out or delivery options for sushi (let alone Japanese) are pretty mediocre in Toledo, so we were frankly impressed and excited about the consistent quality Yama has been providing us. Over the last month we've ordered dinner 3 times, and each time it was great. From the sushi to appetizers like the shrimp tempura, everything has always arrived home fresh-tasting, AND visually appealing, which goes a long way for me. I've ordered the Sashimi Dinner each visit, which consists of 18 pieces of sashimi as well as a side of soup or salad. For around $20, it's always felt like it's been worth every single penny. And as I mix and match appetizers while also taking bites of my wife's sushi, Yama has immediately become a "HELL YES!" option when it's suggested for dinner. Each time I've ordered online, it's always been ready at the promised time even as their parking lot has been full and there has been a small group of delivery drivers waiting inside for their packages to take off into the night. I'd recommend Yama to anyone in Toledo that's looking for a great Japanese take-out option. It's not fine dining, and from the approach inside of the restaurant it's definitely framed as fast-casual, and I think they've done it expertly. I am crossing my fingers that they see enough business to consider expansion with a second location downtown.

California Roll - it was great! I can't wait to try their other rolls
Anna M.

A hibachi/sushi spot that refused to make sushi... We stopped by here on the way home from a boba restaurant that's practically around the corner. They were obviously busy when we got here and I would dare say they were in over their heads in that moment - personally, along with the general appearance of the place, I thought that spoke to their popularity. Had we gone in and it looked dated, run down, and smelled bad, I wouldn't have thought so positively. This place didn't look like the usual generic, run of the mill sushi/hibachi places you tend to find in strip malls - it looked new, clean, and well put together, like they care about their appearance. It's a small restaurant with a handful of places to sit (all indoor, no outdoor seating). They have many, many options on their menu - hibachi, poke bowls, sushi, sushi burritos..... I tried ordering a shrimp tempura burrito but that seemed to worry the guy taking our order. He asked the manager/owner/coworker working beside him if they could make that and the man got very angry, gestured to a full tray of food beside him, and said no sushi. Now... when I go in to a restaurant, I like knowing what I'm going to order. I don't like holding up the line or wasting the worker's time... but I didn't have a Plan B, second choice in mind... I assumed a sushi place with a predominately sushi menu would... serve sushi. SO here I am, mini panicking, trying to think of what to order while the poor guy at the register is getting yelled at for suggesting they make a customer something that's on the menu... so I blurted out "Scallop bento box?" without even looking to see what was included in said bento box............ a California sushi roll. We got my bento box and a few other things, took them home, and ate them all like wild animals, standing over our island. It was that good. Like someone else said, the fried rice is a little different from the usual fried rice you come across, as are the dumplings, but it was ALL delicious. I would compare it to Nagoya, just a fraction of the price. It wound up being a hilarious experience - we caught them at an exceptionally busy moment. We will absolutely come back... just most likely not on a Saturday afternoon.

Hibachi Fried Rice with Salmon and Chicken and Vegetables
Jaelyn S.

This is my first time getting Yama Japan! I've been wanting to try it for a long time but I can be very picky when it comes to Hibachi because it's my favorite!! Anyway the food is absolutely amazing, the prices are very reasonable, the sauces are perfect, everything is fresh and now I have to eat here everyday lol. The staff was very friendly and I loved the atmosphere. Definitely go get some Yama Japan!!

Vegetable bento
Kalindi S.

I ordered the vegetarian bento box and both the dumplings and the sushi have meat in them. How hard is it to at least make a sushi roll without meat? Will not be back.

Jacob B.

Decided to give this place a try. Hibachi chicken wasn't the best, ordered fried rice but either wasn't fried rice or not any kind of fried rice I've ever had, picked through it and got the dynamite roll and spicy tempuras roll. Both were also not the best. $30 ish for all of it . Feel bad because the place looks awesome and promising, maybe I just got the wrong stuff but sadly don't think I'd go back.

Sushi burrito to go!
Neal F.

I've only gotten take out once but from my first experience there was very little to complain about. Fast, healthy, fresh. The decor was tasteful especially for Toledo but the people dining in were eating out of to-go containers. It would be nice if they invested in some more eco-conscious plates and silverware. Also, I would love a build your own poke bowl or sushi burrito option. The burrito I got was great but I would have liked an extra rice option and some sauce options. With a few tweaks this place could def enter into my somewhat limited Toledo dining options. Can't wait to give it another try.

Hot Babe Roll, Rainbow Roll, Rock and Roll
N W.

I talked my husband into spontaneously taking me here on a Sunday night. They seemed pretty busy with consistent carry-out orders. We were the only ones dining in. It was a quiet and casual environment. We ordered a bowl of miso, a Rainbow roll, a Hot Babe, and a Rock and Roll to split. The rainbow roll was your average rainbow roll and the Hot Babe was delicious and topped with wasabi tobiko. In all my sushi outings I have never came across wasabi tobiko. It was tasty with a hint of spice. Our favorite roll was the Rock and Roll. The spicy tuna was so soft, addicting, and packed with flavor. All of the fish was super fresh, tender, yet firm. The portion sizes were generous and the prices are very competitive. I believe our total was around $32 and the food came out in around 7-10 minutes. This would be the perfect place to go for a quick bite or on your lunch break.

Chicken fried rice! Tasty, but where are the veggies??

Insane gem in Toledo. I do have to say "no, SERIOUSLY" when I talk about this spot to friends and…read moream generally met with (understandable!) skepticism that sushi in the Midwest could be so phenomenal. 6/5 stars. The omakase is a must experience for any foodie and especially for anyone who loves sushi & yakitori! Came here for the first time 4 years ago, and again a few weeks ago. What struck me is that the same head sushi chef was there then and now and that they haven't really changed the menu too much. Yes absolutely there were new and creative twists, but there are tried and true staples which have been mastered. That feels like their vibe overall - friendly, neighborly, confidence in what they have and will keep doing what they're doing, seemingly resisting any pressure to expand or get bigger. It's perfection! The omakase menu has three phases: chef's kitchen, yakitori, sushi (gorgeous nigiri courses finished with the most insane cut roll I've ever had). Everything is delicious. No misses. My favorite phase is the sushi. We STARTED that off with the most melty buttery otoro. I thought that was bold, surely it could only go downhill from there. I was proved wrong bite after bite!! Seriously, imagine a series of nigiri bites that hold their own after the BEST. Of the yakitori, the chicken meatballs were my fave, so juicy never change. Highest quality, well crafted, expertly executed menu. Lowkey I also love that this omakase ends with the most delicious cut roll, and not dessert. As a savory girl through and through, this is perfect. The onlyyyy downside is that all the rich food gives me a bit of a stomachache afterwards :D. 10000% worth it.

Wow... everything was delicious!…read more This place gets very busy. As in, they write your name on the door outside busy. Such a good idea. Thankfully, we arrived before the rush. The restaurant is small, with seating at the bar, around the sushi counter, and a handful of tables. The drinks were good, and the food was excellent quality at reasonable prices. Don't bother looking on their website for a menu like I did. The menu is handwritten daily and changes based on what's fresh and available. If you're not a fan of sushi, don't worry. They have a great selection of Yakitori for those looking for something different. My husband had the Beef Tongue, Pork Belly, and the Kurobuta (Berkshire pork) Sausage. He enjoyed all of them. The sausage was good, but it tasted like a fairly typical sausage and was on the smaller side. I had the Mango Kengo roll, which was very well done. The salmon was incredibly fresh. It was a little spicier than I prefer because of the Togarashi seasoning, which also seems to accompany many of the yakitori dishes. We also ordered the Ika Maruyaki (grilled squid). We both love squid, especially when it's prepared this way, but this dish just wasn't as good as we had hoped. We were both a little underwhelmed. The sushi and sashimi were beautifully sliced, incredibly fresh, and definitely high quality. I tried the Madai for the first time and really enjoyed it. The fluke was excellent, and the salmon was exactly what you'd expect from high quality salmon. I finally tried Uni as well. It was very fresh, but I learned it's just not for me. Overall, I'm very excited to go back and try more of the menu. I do wish the server was friendlier.

This was a very agreeable Japanese establishment on Central Ave. in Sylvania Twp. I had seen this…read moreplace pop up in Yelp searches previously, but it's not in a part of the area we frequent much anymore. It's also not particularly highly visible from the road so it would not have stood out those handful of times when we did pass by. Located in one of the numerous strip plazas along this commercial stretch, it is relatively unobtrusive. It's tucked back on the hook of this J-shaped plaza facing the road. The plaza itself was nicely quiet in the evening when we visited as Marco's was the only other open shop. The restaurant was moderately busy, but there were nonetheless plenty of open tables allowing us to be seated right away. Once we were seated, our server Andrea attended to us quickly. She was efficient and pleasant, and she did a very good job for us while we were there. The menu offered several good choices ranging from sushi and sashimi to hot preparations. There were both Japanese and Korean favorites, and that plays to our liking. We have recently been ordering one appetizer and one entree to split when we eat out since that keeps both calories and the total expenditure from being excessive. Given the suffocating cost of everything these days, including eating out, we'll likely continue this practice. While this place is moderate in price by current standards, it was still helpful to be restrained. As such, we chose the CAA Roll and the Dolsot Bibimbap to share. This turned out to be plenty of food for the two of us and was likewise very tasty. The roll was not elaborate but was still excellent with a great combo of cucumber, asparagus and avocado. We always prefer Bibimbap in a stone bowl as they served it here. This turned out to be a great choice as the bowl was well prepared with savory ingredients and the Gochujang (red chili paste) was an excellent complement. The final bill with food, drink, tax and tip was $41. I should note that we could have made it cheaper, but I splurged a little bit with a $6 glass of California-origin Cabernet (though I noticed after the fact that they had Plum Wine...I'll try that next time). While we had to pay attention as noted above to moderate the price, I certainly won't complain about laying out just over $20 per person for a good meal like this these days. We'll certainly return when we have the chance.

Really wanted to love it more but unfortunately it wasn't as great as I remembered from the last…read moretime I've been here which was years ago. The miso soup and edamame were not that great and needed flavor/salt. The king salmon roll was okay, I thought it would taste better.. however, I actually really enjoyed the play boy roll and I tried my friend's Diablo roll which was also pretty good. The service was so slow that night, it took over an hour and a half for my table to get our food.

There is a little bridge that sits atop a koi fish pond. I will say this may be hard to navigate in a wheelchair but it is doable. The host was on top of everything and we were seated with a little wait (we had a reservation for 6 and it was pretty packed for a Thursday.) I want to note that the bathrooms are immediately to the left when you walk in. The bar is also right at the entrance and although I'm not a drinker they seemed to have a decent selection with their own cocktails. We came for the hibachi but there are tables in the back if you want something from the kitchen. There is also a side room for large parties. Like any place like this we did have to sit with another party and it was pretty cramped but manageable. The server was amazing, I wish I had asked her name, I think I might have missed it. She cleaned off bowls and plates in a timely fashion, keeping our spaces open and was there for refills without being asked. I'm not a big hibachi fan but came for my boyfriend's birthday so I got the chicken katsu from the kitchen and it was SO GOOD with the sauce but a little dry without it. The miso soup came out hot and delicious and the house salad with the dressing was great as always. The teppanyaki chef did a great job, he had a good sense of humor and was very professional. Everything turned out really well. I also wanted to note that the floors were very slippery for everyday footwear. I will definitely be back soon!
