Updated as of 3/10/26 - I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Isaac did an amazing job taking care of our table of 4 and I couldn't be happier that night. I had a strategy for the 90-minute experience now second time around and gosh, I'm so glad that it worked out - appetizers, main course, then round three if I still had the space in my stomach I would order an tonkatsu ramen, and it happened!! The last round was dessert and I went with the matcha cheesecake instead of the upside down pineapple cake. Oh, also, perks for sitting outside this time: I can laugh louder hahahaha!! 10/10 and will absolutely come back in a few months to do this all over again!! read more

I finally found a solid sushi spot in Phoenix. My friend and I came to Yama for their $25 bottle & 2 rolls deal we saw on IG. It's honestly a steal imo but I do wish they had another white option besides Chardonnay. Still great with a Pinot noir as the red option. We also lucked out with it being HH as well so added in another roll and some seaweed salads. Our server was friendly and quick with our order. I loved the outdoor patio, weather pending of course. The sushi was really good but I'd love to try some without cream cheese next time. I'll be back for their AYCE menu for sure. read more

We live closer to the Chandler location but they are not dog friendly and we were going to be in the area so we tried this location. The parking lot is pretty small. Luckily we found a spot right away but I'm not sure if there are other nearby parking options. We sat outside and were helped by two servers as one of them was training. They were both friendly and knew the menu well. We opted for the all you can eat option, which includes 10 items at a time. Great selection of rolls, nigiri, appetizers, and even sashimi. We were able to do two rounds and were stuffed. The fish was fresh and didn't taste fishy at all. We really enjoyed the salmon and hamachi collars. Kids under 6 are free and our toddler enjoyed the chicken skewer and yakisoba. On our second round the rolls were smaller which I appreciated because this lets you try various rolls without getting stuffed. Highly recommend the eel, toro, sweet shrimp and wagyu! My boyfriend really liked the uni as well.We would definitely come back when in the area! read more

Yeah my wife and I got food poisoning after eating here. Don't come here. Clearly using spoiled fish. Spent 130$ to sit on a toilet the next day for hours. read more

I was excited to try a new all you can eat sushi place. Well, it's new to me... My regular sushi place is still my favorite, but sometimes I like to venture out. Yama is much nicer and fancier than I expected. A huge selection of items available on the all-you-can-eat menu too. Some specialty items have a 1 order maximum, but there are so many to choose from, this is not really an issue. It's nice that you could sit at the sushi bar and do all you can eat. Most other places only have tables. The service was pretty quick and efficient, which is not always the case in some all you can eat places. You have 90 minutes to complete your gorging, which is ample time. The quality of the fish seemed good, but I wasn't too fond of some of the sauces. If you're familiar with sushi, the same sauces are used on a large amount of the rolls. If you want quantity over quality, this is definitely the place to go. $40 is pretty good for such a variety. If I want to eat a stupid amount of sushi, this is where I'm going to come. Normally, I will still continue to go to my regular spot. read more

10/10 would recommend!! The service was fantastic, sushi was fresh and lots of fun options. They also have deals on different days of the week and an all you can eat option. My only complaint was the very limited parking! Other than that, I would highly recommend read more

Yama Phoenix recently started offering an All You Can Eat menu for $39.95 in July...and I've been 4 times since. They are the best AYCE sushi spot in the Valley and my partner and I have been to most of them. Their premium offerings include beef short rib (galbi), toro, bluefin tuna, uni, wagyu beef, among others of which you can only get 1 order per person. It's worth it- especially the galbi and toro! They also offer robata which is really nice because the bbq sticks help break up the monotony of sushi. Sometimes they come out dry but the flavor is good. We recommend the sichuan (it's not spicy). Sushi roll options are pretty diverse. 1 order comes with 4 pieces which is awesome if you want to try multiple rolls without getting too stuffed. Our favorite is the Dragon Ash roll. The ultimate test for me is if a restaurant is consistent, and Yama passes. The regular tuna is hit or miss but everything else is solid. Don't forget to order the tempura cheesecake at the end. Service has always been excellent! Last call for the AYCE menu is 9:30pm. We learned the hard way. Parking in front can be limited but you can find ample street parking nearby. read more

Family was looking for a new sushi spot, and we think we've found our new regular in Yama Sushi House. I wish I had remembered to take pictures of the menu, as well as the other food items, but we were enjoying ourselves so much that it slipped my mind. As we entered, we were greeted with smiles from the entire staff, welcoming us in. So many good-looking items to choose from, it took us a moment to familiarize ourselves with the menu. We started out with the garlic edamame, which was fantastic. For my entrees, I went with the Tuna Lover and Phoenix rolls. Both huge stand outs for me on the menu, but even more so once I was eating them. There are other rolls that caught my eye, that I will be wanting to go back and try as well. But from what I picked, I will not be disappointed in the quality and freshness of their rolls. The presentation, taste, and quality really had an impact on our overall dining experience here. We are looking forward to being back soon, as we are definitely hooked on this place. Two last things: parking isn't the best, but you can make it work. Im not deducting 'stars' because of a limited parking situation. Makes it that much more exclusive. Daphne was a server, and she was absolutely charming. She came off as poised, professional, and had such an upbeat demeanor, it helped add to the overall experience. Thank you, Daphne! read more

After speaking with Ken about the situation I encountered attempting to order the sushi boat on Mother's Day he provided great customer service and we were able to discuss what the issue was the miscommunication that occurred he offered an opportunity to return to Yama and provided me with great customer service and attentiveness. My wife and I ordered for takeout and it was amazing as always. I want to thank Ken for being such a great owner and having the best interest of his customer and resolving any misunderstanding or issues that occurred. My wife and I are very appreciative of his service and we look forward to enjoying the all you can eat sushi in the future. Thanks Ken you really demonstrated what a great owner you are. Much appreciated! read more

Absolutely nowhere to park, one of the staff even said to park in the handicap spot... I'm sure the locals would love it but it's not worth driving read more

This restaurant was suggested by a friend. We came for lunch on a Sunday. It was not busy but we kinda expect this during the summer. There is limited parking at the front, my friend parked in the back. We ordered the spicy garlic edamame - it was flavorful but not too spicy. We shared a variety of chef's specialty rolls. My least favorite was the lollipop roll - I think not worth the price. The ninja roll was good. I forgot the names of the other 2 we tried. Overall I felt the meal was good but not outstanding and I have other sushi places that I would go first before coming back. Service was great. Our server was very attentive. read more

All you can eat for $39.95 is an amazing deal! Love the Phoenix and dynamite roll. Great assortment of sake available.

Food was really good. Service not so great. Kind of felt like if I was asking my younger brother to pretend to be nice to me. Asian man was who "took care" of me today. Told me I can't modify my food, which I understand only if it's TRUE. I ordered dessert to go that's when I guess I set him off he gave me an attitude. Whatever Sushivibe is my spot anyway. read more

Came in on a whim & was highly surprised. They do an AYCE (all you can eat) option- $40 per person, $20 for 6-11yr olds The fish was fresh. The food was flavorful. The service was amazing ! My waiter was patient & attentive. The atmosphere was good as well. Available for outside seating. And low music & ambient lights. I sat at the bar. And was able to watch them prepare all the sushi/sashimi orders. And they seemed to genuinely enjoy it. Will definitely be back. read more

Came here on Friday 11/28 got the AYCE. Quality of food isn't bad. The skewers were not to my liking because it had the northern chinese spice on it. The raw oysters were delicious. They give a little too much rice for the nigiri. Decent selections available. Parking is tight in the plaza. Service had been good so far since it wasn't full when we came around 5pm. 5 and under eat free. read more

Don't waste your time. The host staff and manager, Bijou, have no idea what they are doing or how to run a restaurant. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday and asked how long a wait would be. We were told 45 minutes and waited the 45 minutes outside. After 45 minutes, we checked in and were told it would be at most 10 more minutes. After 15 more minutes, we were told that there were now two large parties ahead of us and they couldn't tell us how long it will be. The manager came to discuss, and told me that there was a miscommunication and our table was ready. The host then sat a different large party at the table as the manager was saying it was for my group. She asked the server why he would sit them there, and he informed her that they had a reservation. She seemed unaware of the reservations and customer traffic at the restaurant, and there was no solution offered. We wasted the evening waiting around, and left with no dinner. Train your staff and communicate accurate information with your guests. read more

The food is fresh, service was perfect, and the restaurant is very clean, but there was something not right with the ginger. If you don't eat ginger with your sushi then it would be fine, but I do, and the weird flavor made me nauseous and ruined my experience. Everything else was good and I felt better once I got home. read more

Little sushi restaurant. Probably one of the few great sushi I've had here. When it's that good, you don't dip it in soy sauce. You don't have to mask the fresh taste and especially if you order a roll that may be already laced with eel sauce. Sweet potato fries, random, but friend ordered this for herself. Thick cut that invited to hurriedly shove in your mouth! Happy hour on a Sunday, Sapporo on the patio, I most definitely will take advantage of a weekend happy hour again here! read more

Came here for lunch. I ordered their miso soup, poke bowl & Hamachi Kama. The miso soup and hamachi Kama were seasoned well, the Kama was cooked perfectly. The poke was a good size portion; however, it didn't appear to have any flavor our like it was marinated/tossed in anything of a sauce. So to me it was basically a sashimi that was cubed. Still good, but just call it that vs. Poke. The waiter was very friendly, professional and checked back regularly. When we arrived, it was just opening so, it was clean and orderly. read more

We did all you can eat sushi everything was incredib. My favorites were the ninja roll, salmon sensation, and the hot night! They all came out as half rolls for the AYCE, which honestly thank god because you're going to want to try everything. Nothing looks better than the next thing, because they all look too good. Immaculate atmosphere, the plates are beautiful, the menu is beautiful, really everything about this place rules so hard, I got emotional. I had the best time, and it honestly turned my whole October around. Our server Jay made perfect recommendations and was awesome. Honestly I think sushi might be ruined for me if I try to go eat anywhere else. Don't waste your time going to other places, come here. read more

What we ordered: Small Saki bomb Cold saki Entrees: Gyoza Chefs nigiri special Omurice Chirashi Surprised how good the gyoza were tasted like the pan fry ones from cherryblossom noodle cafe so yummy, the nigiri was a bit of a disappointment on the aspect of paying $20 for tuna, salmon and idk yellowtail or some letter simple fish , when I'm used to atleast get a piece of octopus in a nigiri combo felt like a rip off for three basic cheap fish , not even a piece of shrimp lmao , tasted not super fresh or mouth watering but wasn't warm and was a bit cold so it wasn't bad overall atleast just a rip off for what I got for what I expected getting which is a assortment of fish and such especially from them since they have more seafood you don't see for nigiri options often like scallop , snapper, etc... unless you go to a pricey place, omurice was def white person verison with huge chunks of chicken and corn only on the inside mixed with the rice with a thick dry omelet on top , it actually was the best part for it being bland a bit in seasoning but the rice was moist , def was really good even if it's not the omurice I typically have , and the chirashi was alright same with the comment I made on the nigiri. read more

I went to this location for my birthday dinner with 2 others. The sushi was fantastic, the service, not so much. Towards the end, we ordered several more items which we planned on being our last round. Some of that order was brought, then our server came back to see if we wanted more. We thought we had more coming and asked if we still had more. Our server said, I don't think so, checked her order pad and said it looks like no. So we order a few more since we did not get as much as we expected the last round. Then part of the 're-ordered' food was brought out, then our server brings over our original last order and says so sorry there was more. We said to them we should probably cancel the replaced order since we did have more from the previous order. Our server tells us we got it and leaves us with all the food. We were unable to finish it all since we had an entire extra round of orders we were not expecting. When getting our bill, our server tells us there is a 20% up charge for leftover food. We say we got more than we expected since there was more from another order we placed after being told no more was coming. Our server looks at us with a blank stare and repeats it's a 20% up charge for unfinished food. That equaled an additional $25 on the bill. Shady practices are going on at this location. Would not recommend, try another location. read more
