    The food was amazing. Very fresh and super delicious. I would say it's the best sushi place in the area. They have a huge menu, plus you won't have to wait too long for your order. All the people who work there make sure you feel welcomed and treat you nicely like you are the only guest there. Atmosphere is also very nice. 10/10!

    So delicious

    Very good place to come, highly recommend people come here, staff friendly and good service

    It is just a okay food quality wise. I kind of doubt the freshness of the fish to be honest. Everything is midiocre but you get to try a lot of different rolls, nigiri, fry items...all that typical stuff. Service is standard. The restaurant is small and kind of smells "funny" not in a good way for this location on E. Flamingo. I don't think I'm coming back.

    Stopped on a Sunday for lunch at Yama Sushi. Many years ago I used to eat here for lunch and decided to try it out again. The restaurant is still nice looking and wasn't very busy. We were promptly greeted and got a table. We did the all you can eat lunch option and tried a range of different dishes. What really stood out to me was a definite change in flavor profiles from what I'm now used to. While we enjoyed many items, others were definitely not what we are used to at sushi restaurants. We really enjoyed the tempura udon. The sushi was all fresh and lightly poked good with a minimal amount of rice. Anything with spicy tuna in it had a texture and different heat/spice element- perhaps the fish was chopped so smoothly that it was almost creamy; but the heat while pronounced, wasn't blended in the way we normally see it. The tempura batter was tasty, but a thicker and heavier batter. Lastly, the green tea and pistachio ice creams had different flavors that we didn't care for. The green tea didn't make me think green tea; and the pistachio had more of a syrupy flavor. All that said, the restaurant got busy as we ate - so clearly other people enjoy their food more than us. I would say the food was okay but nothing special. The service was very good!

    Great sushi, great service, no wait time, great vibes, good ambiance, overall everything you'd want in a sushi spot for a decent enough price for Vegas

    My other half has been coming here for 10+yrs. Service from the sushi chef was trash. We sat at the bar. I was highly disappointed. I think it was just the sushi chef at the time. Food was great though. Will come back to try it again. Sushi was Fresh. Rolls were good. S/o out our waitress and the manager they were so kind and appreciative of the business regardless of the service.

    I think this place has gone downhill I don't know since when. I've been here twice before this visit and I liked this place a lot since the last time I paid them a visit maybe few years ago. We came here for lunch which limited what items we could get from the menu, that was fine since you do pay less for lunch. We ended up getting a whole bunch of appetizers and I would say about half of them were good but not super impressive. I like their baked mussels a lot. The bacon wrapped shrimps would be better if they didn't put so much sauce on them, I think they were way too salty with the sauce. I also like their tempura items. The rolls are ok, my favorite was their salmon skin roll, definitely recommend it. The service was good but it did take a long time for them to bring us our food since from the start. Ambiance was just like most of the all you can eat sushi place, a bit dated but clean. I think overall it's not a bad experience, perhaps my expectation was too high since my past experience from this place was so good.

    Quality has gone down over time. Gave it a few shots over the years and stopped going years ago. Didn't deserve the 5 stars it was once. 2 stars for the good memories while my kids were little and discovering their love for sushi.

    Kbbq short ribs.

    I really like the location on Eastside on flamingo road. Plenty of parking and lots of seating space. Yama Sushi is a must-visit spot for all-you-can-eat sushi in Las Vegas. The fish is fresh, the rolls are creative, and the service is fast and friendly. Their nigiri and specialty rolls come out beautifully plated, and the kitchen items like garlic edamame and tempura are great additions. It's a busy place, especially during peak hours, but totally worth the wait. Great value for the quality you get! This place is all about better fish to rice ratio. Do t sleep on the soft shell crab and the kbbq short ribs.

    Dennis S.

    Outstanding service, with very high quality ingredients. I was blown away by not only the portions but the selection offered on their AYCE menu. Everything from premium rolls to Takoyaki and Uni. This place is by far the best to get your fix for Japanese all around. Can't wait to return!

The sushi was fresh with a beautiful display and multiple offerings, including classic and designer rolls. The service was excellent w/various staff checking on us to ensure we didn't need anything.

Super juicy and succulent with a light charcoal BBQ flavor that made it ridiculously satisfying. The beef short rib skewer had good flavor, but mine was a little dry. Still enjoyable though. 7.5/10. Unfortunately, the shrimp skewer was overcooked and dry. Definitely the weakest dish of the night. 2/10. The tempura udon was excellent -- probably one of the best broths I've had in a long time. Rich, comforting, and full of flavor without being too heavy. The noodles had the perfect chewy bite to them. It came with shrimp, potato, and carrot tempura along with seaweed and fish cake. My only complaint is that I wish there was more tempura and fish cake to eat with the noodles because the broth was so good. 9/10. The spicy Wagyu ramen was also really solid. The broth was rich and flavorful with a nice level of spice that didn't overpower the dish. The noodles again had that perfect al dente texture. The Wagyu itself was slightly tough, but still packed with flavor. 8/10. Service was also great. I drink a lot of water, and our server somehow refilled my glass right before it was empty every single time, which I always appreciate. Overall, really good spot for ramen and skewers. Definitely coming back to try the sushi next time.

Chef Shuji runs the restaurant with his wife next to him in the kitchen. The fish here is flown in from Japan and of the highest quality as you can see from the sheen and fat marbling. The tuna melts in your mouth and bite after bite is a wonderful experience as you pair it with soy sauce, fresh Wasabi, yuzu Wasabi, or some combination of the condiments provided. This is also the first sushi restaurant I have ever been to that automatically brings out fresh Wasabi without having to ask. The portions are generous and we left feeling very satisfied. Even though we were very full, we took a look at the dessert menu. Not pictured here is a sweet potato with ice cream and brown sugar glaze. This dish on the menu was unassuming but the taste was so decadent. Quite possibly the best and sweetest sweet potato I have ever tasted. The chef slowly roasts them over a 2 hour period, rotating the potatoes every so slightly every 15 minutes. The sweet potato could be a dessert by itself, it was that good! Chef Shuji is a charming and funny host. He regularly comes out to greet his customers and makes sure they are enjoying their meal, very high-touch. If you know Japanese - even if it's just a few phrases, speak with him as he will be delighted. He was absolutely tickled when we said arigato and he shared that he is originally from Kyoto. Cannot wait to return to Shigotonin!

    You don't need to go to the Strip for Ari yeah!…read more Ari Sushi & Izakaya is a very well-Yelped restaurant in the southwest. I've particularly seen buddies post about it on Instagram a lot, and I finally made my way out there since I found that it aligned with my mom's food craving. I went for the Ari Ari Combo ($29.00). It started with a little bowl of balanced miso soup and a tiny side salad with fresh greens and a simple sesame dressing, and was followed by six thin but delicious sashimi slices and four basic but also solid-quality nigiri. I would be more than happy to come back try to more of their raw fish any time. If that doesn't sound like enough for lunch, I did share other food items. The Garlic Edamame ($7.00) felt a little less salted than I expected but was a good portion and had plenty of both a garlic sauce and crispy garlic slivers. I also helped out with a Bento with 3 items ($25.00): bulgogi, mixed tempura, and spicy tuna roll. The bulgogi was tender but not strongly marinated enough and the spicy tuna roll felt pretty standard, but I did really enjoy the shrimp tempura and the veggie tempura pieces which I tried. They were super hot and crispy while being cooked perfectly inside, and the sauce was perfect. The music was relaxing and not played at a very high volume. The restaurant is a little more dim than I'd like and could benefit from overhead narrow-angle lights, but maybe the food was just that good that the lighting wasn't so important. The server was happy to refill my complimentary water with lemon as often as needed, as well as to add more water to the Hot Green Tea ($4.00). I did try some of the tea, and it was potent and low in bitterness. I'm pleased to report that Ari Sushi really does offer delicious sushi, enough so that I'll probably have to make more trips from Henderson to try more of their menu. If you want high quality mid-price-range sushi that's not in an all you can eat format, this is a great place to look.
