    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

    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.

    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??

I don't want to hold it against them if the price of keeping fresh ingredients is sometimes running out of chopped green onions every so often. I tend to go during odd hours to eat so I'm usually not in a lunch or a dinner mix. For this reason, the place isn't crazy busy, leading to nice undivided attention. I do see it possibly becoming an issue if it was to get super busy. Each bowl is made-to-order, which means every customer gets full attention from ordering to check out. Maybe it's because the business hasn't picked up enough to warrant having a full assembly line like your Subways and Chipotles of the world. We'll have to see. As I was saying, ingredients are fresh, which is half of the battle for poke bowls. Sauce and side choices are very good, and best of all, your dollar goes a long way. I can easily fill myself up with relatively healthy bowl of poke for around ten bucks, and you get free miso soup!! Considering any fast food meals will cost a good fifteen bucks these days, I'm happy I can opt for a healthy choice for less.

    The service here was above and beyond. I wish I caught the name of the man helping us out but he…read morewas so patient and accommodating for all of our questions, walked us through every step of our poke bowls and made great recommendations based on our taste for our bubble teas. Excellent portion for a great price. We paid about 12-14$/bowl and I was full. Fresh fish, great topping variety and sauces. I personally loved the ponzu. The spicy mayo was a bit spicier than I expected. Looking forward to the next visit.
