Good sushi! We dined in and got all the food in takeout containers. Clean space with tables that isn't too busy. I recommend this spot for when you want sushi for takeout. read more

Yama Japan - Sweet Potato Roll (2 orders), Vegetable Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Food (A) Got the super combo with salmon and white tuna and 1/2 a California roll. The nigri pieces were really good and the roll was okay. Not bad not great. Just okay and meh. Service (B+) Staff needs a bit more training but fairly fast Value (B-) It was around $16 for 6 nigiri pieces and four small pieces of California rolls. Felt sort of ripped off as they were tiny California rolls and the cheap stuff with imitation crab stick. Either reduce the prices to $12.99 or provide a full California. Felt like they nickel and dime you. I like the quality of nigiri but wish it was a better value - I might go again but on the fence as there is not a menu item with what I am going for. The menu is created for the restaurant to maximum margins not actually create products the customer wants read more

Yama Japan - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Best quick order sushi and sashimi in Toledo! I love this place. The food is always fresh, the service is always fast, and I've never had a problem with my order. This place never disappoints. Their dynamite roll and their tuna Taki are my constant go to. It's unbelievably cheap for the quality and the portions. read more

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. read more

Yama Japan - Veggie sushi burrito - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

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. read more

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. read more

Cheap Japanese food always makes me cautious, so I hadn't tried this place even though it's been around for years. Never judge a book by its cover. Great flavor and service, and you can't beat the price. Not my favorite Japanese place, but great when you don't feel like spending your paycheck. read more

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!! read more

Yama Japan - Vegetable bento - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Think fast food prices but sit down flavors. Arguably some of the better sushi in Toledo. It's nothing fancy, there's really no place to sit and dine in. You're not gonna watch people making brilliant rolls or see them reinvent the wheel. But what you will get is consistently good food at a great price, quickly. They have some of the best tuna Tataki. I had a sushi burrito last time I was there that was good. I've never had the hibachi, but my friend had it and it looked stella. Since it has opened I have ordered sushi from here probably 20 times and I've never had a bad experience. That's pretty much unheard of in the era of covid dining. You can't beat the prices. read more

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. read more

Came here while visiting in Toledo; I was wanting sushi & this was recommended I should've went inside to order, it would've guided my choices. So in part, I take some fault for the experience I had. This is a nice quick, to order japanese food place. We ordered the Dynamite & Hot Babe Roll, also had an order of edamame and the potstickers. Edamame, you can't go wrong here, well cooked & great amount for the price. I was surprised to see the potstickers were fried, but I had to have glanced over that when ordering. They were tasty, the sauce on the side was overly sesame. Now to the sushi; the Dynamite roll was even better than I imagined it would be as I don't care for cream cheese in my sushi. But very tasty. The hot babe roll, needs a new name. It was a lifeless mess. I've never had poke tuna - grounded up to minced meat - smeared on top of a sushi roll. I don't recommend any of the raw rolls after that. I'd trust them to do ok with cooked/fried rolls. Great service otherwise, quick and courteous! The items that I'd try on going back is the affordable "Hibachi", smelled amazing when I went in to pick up food. Will give a try the next time I'm in town and have a craving! I'm not scared off from my first go. read more

I have been here many times and the food and service never disappoints. My food is always delicious and the staff is always very nice. Today however the service was above and beyond. I was carrying my 18 month old inside to pick up my order and the hibachi chef was kind enough to come from behind the counter and get the door for me! Such a small act really made my night and was greatly appreciated. read more

Pretty good quick Japanese take out. It is a small location with some seating inside. I got the take out due to the coronavirius. I had the Fiery Dragon roll and the shrimp fried rice. I wasn't expecting the amount of shrimp in the rice. Normally you get a few pieces, but Yama puts a lot of shrimp in it. The dragon roll was phenomenal. My girlfriend got the vegetable tempura and the chicken bento box. She couldn't finish it all. She said they gave her a lot of chicken. The price wasn't bad either. $35 and we'll worth it. We will go back read more

3 stars because the sushi was fresh and decent and the restaurant itself is small but cute. But here are the cons for me: First, I didn't like was the very chilly greeting. It seemed like the owner, no smile, mumbles at us and has difficulty taking a simple order. I can't tell you how sick I am of offending businesses with my presence. Are these people allergic to money? They charge high prices for cafeteria style service and a wobbly, dirty table. (They were all dirty and it wasn't that busy yet) Most of all, I didn't like paying that much to have all of our food served in plastic. I know, I know, no one cares and it's too tree hugger for some but it bothered me that this place goes through SO much plastic and I saw no recycling bins. Our food was served in to go plastic containers. ALL of it. Including the soy sauce cups, which you can get yourself next to the soda machine. The vibe was, "Where's your hurry, here's your hat." Overall, it's an ok place and if you find yourself there in a pinch, you probably won't be disappointed with the food, but there are better choices. I can go a little bit up Secor and for only a few dollars more get a much better experience with better sushi (in my opinion), on plates, in a beautiful atmosphere at Kira Japanese steak house. And they won't look at me like I have two heads if I ask to pay a more for a bit more rice on my sushi. Bon appetit. read more

I stopped in here yesterday and picked up $130 up to go food for six of us. I ordered a variety of items including the tuna salad, poke bowl, sushi rolls, seaweed salad, crab salad, salmon hibachi, spring rolls and more. Starting out with the service they were fast and friendly and I had my food very quickly. Especially since I ordered sushi rolls and cooked items. I feel as though the prices are reasonable. Everything I ordered was very good and we all tasted everything. I would say my favorite was the tuna tataki salad. I will definitely return here, the food was fresh, fast and hit the spot. The only recommendation I would have is when getting to-go items to place the cold items and hot items in separate bags and not everything together. Not a dealbreaker though and I'm already ready to go back. read more

If u like hibachi rice this is for you fresh ingredients good Sushi price isn't bad for what u get and has a good flavor not bland tasting when I want some decent hibachi rice this is where I go always been Consistent with the quality if I'm tired of moe's or chipotle this is the go to spot love there rice for the price you can't beat it read more

Better than the dine in hibachi spots in the area! We love this place!!! I would highly highly recommend!

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. read more

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. read more

Good food and great service.Good selection of rolls to select from. Nice location convenient.

I was craving tuna and decided to give this place a shot. I'm so so glad that I did! I ordered the Tuna Avocado Roll & the hibachi chicken and fried rice. I've been craving tuna avocado rolls since and wish I lived closer to it. It's prolly a good thing I don't live nearby or I'd be broke haha. The chicken and rice were good, but 10 out of 10 would pick the sushi over it! Not only was it absolutely amazing, but it didn't break my bank! I highly recommend everyone tryin this place out. They have more than just sushi and they are freaky fast. Like faster than Jimmy John's. read more

I did not like the Yama Poke Bowl. I've been trying to find a Poke Bowl as good as one I had in California, and this for sure wasn't. This bowl was way way too fishy in taste, and the rice was hot, even after my 30 minute drive home. I've never had a Poke Bowl with hot rice so it was very off putting. I probably won't be going back to this restaurant read more

With this hot, miserable, summer heat, I've been unable to turn on my oven without flashbacks to carrying cold water pails to my chickens and having half the bucket filled with my own sweat by the time I made it to the coop. I ordered a seared tuna poké bowl and my comrade got a rainbow sushi burrito. In order to avoid social interaction, I stayed in the car while my comrade went in and ordered the goods. He said they were nice fellas. The poké bowl was good, but I felt something was off. After checking over the menu, I realized they made my bowl wrong. There was some imitation crab on it, which to my belief, wasn't supposed to be there. Not a big deal, I just don't like shellfishes or things with claws. Comrade: the sushi burrito was good, but more of a novelty item. Having the sushi cut into bite sized pieces, as in a roll, is much more convenient. If you agree, they do have some sushi rolls that look like they could knock your flops off. Overall, would eat again, it's much better than the infamous Kmart hot dogs I was force fed as a kid. (May have been Vienna sausages- I try to repress this memory) read more

Very good and fresh. Ordered the tempura veggies, tuna poke bowl and salmon sushi. The veggies and the salmon roll were pretty standard fare. The poke bowl, although not a Hawaiian poke, was very good. I would say overall a very good value for the money as well as a very good alternative to the standard sushi spot in town. read more

I ordered the Hibachi Vegetable dish. The tofu was well cooked, but the steamed vegetables mixed with the teriyaki sauce added made the entree very watery in the end. I also ordered a side of noodles and the noodles were drenched in Teriyaki! All in all, too much teriyaki sauce without any real flavors in addition. read more

This restaurant is absolutely terrific!! The food is so delicious. The dynamite roll is a favorite. The service is friendly.

Service alone is a joke. Placed order at 6:09pm, was told it will be thirty minutes or so. Came to pick up my orders at 6:40pm and was told twenty more minutes. It's 7:27 and was again told twenty more minutes. They are busy but very disorganized. The dude filling the orders doesn't know where he puts stuff. And the finished orders just sits there waiting to be sent away. Multiple people have come way after me and got their food while I still sit in my car waiting. Food is good though read more

I ordered the rainbow poke bowl and it was amazingly good. My issue was with the staff. When he brought out my bowl, his finger was on the rim of the bowl and was touching the food. I said, "uhhh your finger is touching it" I don't know if he didn't hear me or ignored me. But he did take his finger that had some sauce on it and wiped it off on his shirt. So he was aware of what had happened I didn't want to kick up a fuss, so I just threw away those pieces that were touched. Despite the great food, I will not be returning. read more

They have good accommodations for allergy's! The staff called before making the food to make sure it was okay to remove some of the sauces because of allergy's and put them on the side instead. Even went above that and gave us extra sauces that were gluten free that we might like! All in all I would go again! read more

Absolutely excellent. This is the kind of place you would expect in Manhattan. I ordered belly tuna, shrimp, octopus, and scallops... All amazing. I'm definitely going back. read more

Incredible fried rice and hibachi chicken. Among the best I've ever had at a incredibly reasonable price. We will be back regularly.

I go here literally once a week. The bento box is a great deal and i always have the best left overs. I wish they had maybe another location because they are somewhat far from me but normally i call then leave and my food is ready when i get there read more

Went to this place for sushi tonight. Asked for my order to be fried when made. When I got my order it wasn't. I went back in to ask again for it to be remade and was told I'm making him upset. This is his store and many other things. I decided to ask for a refund and leave. Because at that point I no longer felt like a customer, this is very nasty taste and I'll never be back again! ill be spreading the word. Then as I left out they're laughing. Sad and trash. read more
