I've lived here for a few years and this is my go to date spot! The service is always quick and the staff are always super friendly! The food is so good I order this for takeout often and keep coming back :) I love the decor inside it's like a secret getaway, plus they always leave me a little extra in my takeout order, Yama truly is the best and this place will always have a special place in my heart! Thank you Yama! read more

Yama Sushi - Crazy yama roll, volcano roll, philly roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

My sushi order was very sloppy and disorganized. I understand you use imitation crab and other items, but at the very least, the presentation and organization of the food should reflect care. My daughter's shrimp tempura had a long piece of shrimp that wasn't cut properly. This used to be a place that took pride in neatness, but now the food feels rushed and careless. It's disappointing and makes me hesitant to order through DoorDash, as it seems the quality and attention to detail aren't the same as before. read more

We recently had dinner at Yama Sushi on Volvo Parkway in the heart of Chesapeake's Greenbrier area. The service was prompt and the food was excellent. We really enjoyed our meal. I didn't get a picture of the edamame but it was delicious as well. Check out Yama, if you love good sushi! read more

We came in on a Saturday early evening and were able to be seated right away. We ordered the hot green tea, which was really good quality and came in a cool cup (that matters to me). Then we ordered one of each of the veggie rolls. Being vegan we're usually used to boring cucumber rolls but there were many different options (5) that were all very different and delicious. Even if you aren't vegan these are worth a try! The sweet potato roll was so good! The restaurant itself is very clean and cozy! I loved the interior design and vibe here. The service was also great and we left very satisfied! read more

Yama Sushi - (6) Iron Man Roll & Crazy Yama Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This past weekend my I went to the Yama Sushi restaurant in Chesapeake. The waitress seated my date and I quickly and took our orders. I wanted the pan fried gyoza as an appetizer and the chicken yakisoba for the main meal. The gyoza is a pan fried pork dumpling. The chicken yakisoba is stir fried chicken, vegetables, and noodles. It is seasoned with soy sauce. The meal was fresh, light, and tasty. I was satisfied and happy. I will definitely go back there. This was a great experience. Thank you to the staff there. read more

Sushi is my favorite food, so I feel qualified to say that this is one of the best sushi restaurants in Hampton Roads! :) When people ask me for a good sushi restaurant, Yama Sushi is usually my recommendation. They have a good diversity of rolls and the fish always tastes fresh. My favorites are the Hawaii and Dream rolls. Plus, they always go the extra mile with their food presentation. I never forget to take a picture of my food when I eat here because it looks so cool. The staff is friendly, and we almost always get a complimentary roll and pieces of candy. I also love the interior decor of the restaurant, so bright and unique. I've also had food delivered from here to my house, and the sushi tastes just as fresh as it does when you dine in the restaurant. I just love this place! read more

Yama Sushi - 14$ so small and not tasty - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Okay so, love this place. The owner/staff are SUPER nice and personable. The prices are great and my drink was never empty. Bathroom was clean and there was a changing table and fresh soap/disposable paper towels. The sushi was delicious and the portion sizes were perfect! Cherry on top is every time you go the owner gives you a free sushi roll! Been to many sushi places but this one is my FAVORITE. Will continue to come and eat lots of sushi!!! (Duper cute decor inside too.) read more

Yama Sushi is a solid place to eat, they never ever disappoint! Staff says hello and greets with smiles when you walk in. Decor is still amazing and it's such a small yet cozy place. We ordered the sushi boat and all was delicious ! The tuna was so fresh! I love the presentation of the food, it makes the experience extra special. The earthquake roll was my ultimate favorite! They gave us a complimentary half roll called seaweed roll. They give you chocolate treats at the end of your meal, so nice . I love their herbal green tea too! Yamas rocks ! read more

The was my first time visiting Yama Sushi. My coworker took me and it was amazing. I loved the decor and the atmosphere. The food was amazing. I had miso soup, and a lunch box with a volcano roll and a super duper roll. It also includes edamame and a salade with ginger dressing. I loved everything! My coworker got dumplings and edamame and an avocado salade. The service was ok. At 1 point I thought the server forgot about us. But I'll still be going back for sure. read more

Best Sushi in Hampton Roads! Service was outstanding! Restaurant was very clean. We ordered the sushi and sashimi deluxe boat. So good! The sashimi was super fresh and very tasty. There may have been a couple chopsticks to the other diners hands when fighting for the last piece.... The sushi was not just good tasting, but beautiful. We will be back. read more

This was my first time trying Yama Sushi. I dined in. The veggie spring rolls were absolutely delicious & flavorful. I'd absolutely get them again. My avocado sushi roll was good... your basic sushi. The miso soup was good too. My husband loved his salmon sashimi, Christmas tree, and miso soup. In total we paid $60.61. We received our food in a timely manner. The place was not busy for a Wednesday evening. The waitress/customer service was standard. Not exceptional but not bad. read more

1/13/25 - First visit. Outstanding Lunch Box, Excellent Service, and Very Comfortable Setting with water fountains, etc. Bathroom was clean, as well as the rest of the establishment. Highly recommend you try Yama Sushi for yourself. read more

The ambience is beautiful and serene. Mini waterfalls and a main one accompany delicious food. The wait staff was very attentive but not intrusive. Oh gosh, the food *chefs kiss* I had the Sunset + Superman combo with the sushi chef appetizers and all pieces were so malleable it slowly dissolved, yet full of flavor. I will 100% recommend this little unsuspecting restaurant to any sushi snob. read more

Great food. Great service! Vegetarian options. Definitely come here for your sushi and yakisoba cravings.

This was our second time to Yamas sushi and we were just as impressed this time as last. The three rolls that we got were really a great combination as one was more light with no sauce, the orher had sauce, but nothing fried so it was a refreshing roll and the last had fried shrimp tempura inside so a little bit heavier. This is our favorite sushi place. We have never experienced any fishy smelling/tasting rolls as we have at other locations. I also tried the Shumai for the first time and while it was good I would probably get fried next time instead of steamed. read more

I've have driven past this location so many times and never have thought to stopping there once. I came across their selection going through a food delivery app. This review is solely based off of take out experience. First off, everything was packed very neat and professional. 5 star first impression based off of packing, I wish I took a picture of how well they packed our large takeout meal. Most important part, the taste...everything was great! Food tasted fresh, my young kids really enjoyed their rice and fried chicken. I definitely will check them out again. Highly recommend if you want to order sushi over a delivery app, they seem to be on almost everyone. read more

Quick service. You have to order online at www.Yamasushipc.com. Paid by phone and they called us when it was ready. It took probably 20 minutes for our food. I love that they throw in a house roll. All was delicious. However, I just wished their batter for the volcano roll was more flaky. Other than that, everything tasted great! read more

Drove all the way out to VB to get sushi on a Monday given most sushi spots are closed Mondays. I should've stayed home. Walked into the establishment and was met with a strong oder not sure what it was. The ambiance is ok with average amount of seating. I ordered a beer (never got it) because the waitress when on break and forgot. Got the miso soup (wasn't bad). Ordered the ichiban roll which was nothing spectacular. Got the eel roll,a roll I've had often from multiple locations but never tasted it like this before. The eel roll was weirdly wet with almost no eel sauce. The flavor on both rolls were not great. I would honestly give no stars but the miso was the highlight of the meal. Even the tap water was warm with ice added. I wouldn't recommend this place. Will absolutely not return to give them a second shot because it was already out my way. read more

Terrible Uber Eats delivery order. Rolls were hastily assembled and bland. I understand it's cold because it was delivered, but the roll was very chewy. Come to find out the shells of the crab were inside the roll. I'm normally fond of Yama, but I'm disappointed with this order. Giving 2 stars only because the food is probably better in restaurant. read more

Yama Sushi - Had to take out the tails *inside* the sushi roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Sashimi for dinner tonight at Yama and I sat at the sushi bar. Great choice because the service was still great and I got to peek through the glass at the sushi chefs creating deliciousness. Really nice "sashimi deluxe" platter that was plated up nicely with salmon and tuna and octopus and snapper and whitefish plus a bonus pair of "ironman rolls" (maybe that's not what they're called?) on the house. The deluxe platter includes a bowl of miso soup and a salad. Salad was just okay as it was bathing in ginger dressing and really only chopped iceberg anyway. But the sashimi? Fresh and tasty and a great portion. Good choices in beers here and the service was good. I enjoyed my Sunday night dinner. [Review 10811 overall, 579 of 2019.] read more

We placed a pickup order for sushi and a kids chicken teriyaki with beef added to it. The staff was friendly, patient, and understood all of what they had to offer and what it consisted of. My food was ready on time and I drove home to eat it. The sushi was good, I have had better but for this area it was pretty good especially considering the customer service. The kids meal was good it just had variety of fruits and vegetables in it that I didn't know it would have in it. If you're ordering for a picky child be sure to ask what all comes in it because it had onions, pineapples, oranges, zucchini, broccoli, CHERRIES and all kind of random foods in it. We had to pick out a lot of it. read more

Our favorite sushi placed recently experienced a change in ownership due to retirement. We were not happy with the change and started looking for a new favorite spot. We stumbled upon this place on a Friday evening. That turned out to be a great decision! The place wasn't too busy when we got there, only three other tables were seated. But throughout our dinner people were in an out. The food was amazing, and the service was really good. We're definitely adding this place to the rotation! read more

I love this place. Discovered it about almost two years ago. Loved that they always gave you a surprise roll at the end but now they give you a free order of spring rolls. Not a big fan of them but they are free. The employees are extremely polite and friendly. This is our go to sushi place. The change of booths etc are also a great place for date night or family dinner. I love that you can also tip the sushi chef separate. Fresh fish! read more

It was late at night and the place we were going to go for a late dinner turned us away since they were closing in 20 mins. I stumbled across this place since it was near by and I'm so glad I did! From the service to the decor to the FOOD it was all amazing! We first were given a refreshing cucumber salad. I wasn't too hungry so I just ordered a shrimp tempura roll and eel sashimi. The sushi was delicious and tasted fresh! They even gave us a bonus sushi roll for free :) I think it was called a salad roll? Whatever it was it was delicious . So happy we went to this place instead of that other place. A blessing in disguise indeed. When I'm back in the area would love to come back here again. read more
