Potstickers
Kacey S.

Tried Yama Sushi for the first time this week and had a pleasant experience. The servers were friendly, helpful, and quick to take our order. We settled on some edamame and potstickers as an appetizer as well as a couple sushi rolls and a hand roll. Overall, the food was well cooked and had good flavor. Most of the items we would order again except the chicken, which is more a personal preference rather than it not being done well. They offer the cool sushi boat bar for lunch which looks worth a try. My only qualm was the restaurant itself. It was really run down and had a weird smell. The tables were short in comparison to the benches we sat on.

Miss coming to this place but love the happy albacore roll. To go rolls are always great and the staff are friendly. The place was clean and quiet when I arrived.

Side dishes were also bad, everything tastes salty.

This was by far the worst KBBQ experience I've ever had. The food quality was incredibly poor meat was tough, poorly marinated, and looked questionable. But what made it even worse was the owner's behavior. Despite clearly advertising an all-you-can-eat (AUCE). Completely unprofessional and felt like a scam. Avoid this place at all costs, there are far better KBBQ spots in California that actually respect their customers.

Yama Sushi seems more of a Korean BBQ place than a real sushi place. I mean there's still plenty of sushi or order. I was here with a friend and wanted sushi, not really into KBB, as I really don't wanna hafta cook my own food at the table. You get all smoky smelling after dinner too. We ordered some rolls cause my friend likes rolls more than the real nigiri raw fish experience. It seem to take a long tome for the rolls to get served, but maybe they were just busy. I don't expect a authentic Japanese sushi experience here in Redding, where there's few Japanese people around, but I was hoping for a competent skilled sushi experience. ... even if it is just rolls. The rolls seem a little over piled with other stuff than the actual fish. They tasted OK, sort of on the sweet side but would make the less experienced diner happy and that's what my friend is so it's all good. Not what I'd order, but we had a fine time.

Sushi boats
O'Dota B.

Very good sushi. Surprisingly busy for a Tuesday but we were well taken care of. The all you can eat lunch special is a fun parade of boats filled with fresh plates of food circling the center of the restaurant. Everything was very good. We will definitely be back for more sushi and we are excited to try the Korean BBQ too

Our server was kind and attentive, we were seated quickly, our drinks never sat empty. I've tried this place before and originally (during COVID) was unimpressed, since it was during the pandemic I figured we should give it another chance. Which was one of the best decisions we've ever made. The food was fresh the drinks are cold the service was fantastic. Let's go down the checklist: The restaurant was clean. The atmosphere was wonderful they even had the boats running again. (On certain days) The service was fantastic. The food was delicious and well prepared. And the food quality and quantity to price was very well balanced. That earns Yama Sushi a five-star rating from this Professional Critic.

Cinderella Roll
Eric H.

Excellent food. Excellent service. This is a little out of the way but is a great place for sushi in Redding. We went for lunch on a Saturday. They were prompt and the rolls tasted great. The Cinderella roll has a nice crunch and the crazy roll is just a bit spicy. The mochi was chewy and delicious. Definitely will come back.

Table top grill
Kelly R.

This review is for the Korean BBQ side only. The meats are deliciously marinated. Our favorites were the bulgogi and the marinated pork belly. The marinated chicken was good, the garlic chicken was just salty (no garlic). The gyoza was tasty. The California rolls were salty. I haven't been to a Korean BBQ with table top grills since the Palace in Santa Clara was still open. There was a lovely lady playing piano as well. Will definitely be back :)

Atosa T.

Decent food quality and service. On the weekends they have a pianist to make the sushi and Korean bbq site more pleasant. Not bad to try once.

All you can eat sushi is a scam. All they serve is an assortment of California rolls. Don't get me started on the Korean bbq...

Sushi Lunch Buffet is a good value. I have done it a few times and it's best to go when it starts vs when it ends.

If you're looking for something Asian, Yama sushi will give you a temporary fix. Sushi is ok, nothing special. Don't expect too much.

Smokin' Joe's BBQ - Yummmmm! Beautiful bark, juicy rib, falling off the bone. Sauce? Who needs sauce?

Smokin' Joe's BBQ

(373 reviews)

$$

Well, it's been about a week since I came across Joe's barbecue there in Redding on our way home…read morefrom my uncle's funeral in Visalia California. I have to tell you , truthfully, I called 10 minutes before they were about to close . I begged the lady on the phone , I need to order something. I gotta try your barbecue I'm only 7 minutes away. So they put together a phone order, I showed up and who was sitting at the table but Joe. You talk about a friendly guy, we sat and chatted. I ended up opening up my meal, calling my sister to come in from the car and sit down. He went in the back and made me some concoction that was out of this world. Here's the thing the Carolina barbecue sauce made with the mustard is so freaking phenomenal. I bought a container of it and brought it home and put it in a glass jar and have been allowing my children to taste it on the back of a spoon and tonight we're actually going to barbecue wings and toss them in it. Hands down "This is the best Carolina honey barbecue sauce" I've ever tasted and I've tasted a lot. Whatever his secret is, I would love to have it cause I want to can it and I'm not sure why he doesn't bottle this and sell it himself. It is literally gold in a bottle. Now, as far as their sweet potatoes, I was so impressed because usually when you go to a barbecue place, they give you orange yams and call them sweet potatoes. Not this guy he had straight yellow sweet potatoes with some type of honey brown sugar goodness dripping over the top. The pork ribs were fantastic and so were the smothered fries with the barbecued pork my Lord just rub it on my hips. The hospitality was phenomenal. He gave me a little bit of his rub that he puts on his ribs. Just so I could smell it and have a sample because I am a chef. I told him he needs to come up to where we're from in Portland, Oregon, and bring his barbecue. Don't miss this spot it's BBq to live for!!!

Smokin'Joe's Barbecue - A Culinary Experience Worth Raving About…read more From the moment you step through the doors of Smokin'Joe's, you're greeted by the comforting aroma of slow‑smoked wood and the warm smiles of a staff that feels more like family than service. It's clear that this isn't just another BBQ joint--it's a celebration of the craft, the community, and the love of great food. The Meat: Unmatched Quality What truly sets Smokin'Joe's apart is its dedication to sourcing the finest cuts. Each slab of brisket, pork shoulder, and rib is hand‑selected for marbling, tenderness, and flavor potential. The result? A melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture that feels almost luxurious. The beef brisket boasts a deep, smoky bark that cracks delicately under a fork, revealing a juicy, pink interior that's been cooked low and slow for hours on end. The pork ribs are fall‑off‑the‑bone tender, with just enough char to give that satisfying bite without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the meat. The Barbecue: Perfection in Every Bite Smokin'Joe's takes pride in its signature rubs and sauces, each crafted to complement--not mask--the natural flavors of the meat. The rubs strike a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and subtle spice, while the house‑made sauce adds a tangy finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Whether you opt for the classic hickory smoke or experiment with a hint of mesquite, the consistency across the menu is remarkable: every piece is smoked to a precise temperature, ensuring that the smoky essence penetrates without ever drying out the meat. The Atmosphere: Warm‑Hearted Hospitality Beyond the food, the heart of Smokin'Joe's lies in its people. The staff greet you by name (even if it's your first visit) and take genuine interest in your preferences, offering recommendations tailored to your taste. Their enthusiasm is infectious; you'll find yourself chatting with fellow diners, sharing stories over plates piled high with smoked goodness. The décor--a blend of rustic wood, vintage signage, and subtle nods to classic Southern barbecue culture--creates a cozy, inviting space where you feel right at home. Bottom Line If you're hunting for a barbecue experience that combines top‑tier cuts, masterful smoking techniques, and a community vibe that makes you want to linger long after the last bite, Smokin'Joe's is the place to be. It's not just a meal; it's a celebration of everything good about barbecue--quality, craftsmanship, and heartfelt hospitality--all rolled into one unforgettable dining adventure.

I was hangry for a salad for dinner and needed a sandwich for the next days hiking…read more The salad was massive! Fresh Romaine leaves and croutons and the grilled chicken was moist with a nice, tasty grill on the outside while easy to bite through. I couldn't stop eating it. You have about 7 choices of dressing which the put on the side so you can choose how much. $14.50 but it could easily feed 2 people. The sandwich was so big I had it for 2 meals. The turkey was juicy with sourdough bread, good cheddar cheese, not overly mayonnaised, and a few large leaves of lettuce. I had the best hike after this delicious 1/2 of the sandwich. Ate the other the day prior and it was so delicious I scarfed it down forgetting to take a picture. $14.49 and again can feed 2 people. This place stays really busy for a reason - exceptional food and great service. If I lived in Redding, this would be a dangerous place for me.

My husband is what you would consider a professional sandwich eater. He can make a stack at home…read morethat you could really pay top dollar for, and he is incredibly choosy and picky about where he will eat a sandwich outside of the house. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of places that he likes to get a sandwich... I just need you to understand how incredibly picky he is. Enter Dills deli m. Not only was he completely blown away by their delicious sandwiches, but my daughter stands by the fact that this was the best pastrami she's ever had. Now, as any good parent would, I have educated this kid on the ins and outs of pastrami, and for her to deem this one the best is a major accomplishment. The spot is super clean, the servers are incredibly friendly, and the food is spot on. Absolutely worth your time.

Logan's has been a staple since moving here to Redding. My boyfriend and I call it one of rotation…read morestaples for a night out dinner. (Huge steak people). We have yet to have a bad experience here. The staff is always so friendly and attentive. We typically order the jalepeno poppers which is spicy and creamy all together. There's always that one popper though that is way spicer then the rest and it is a fun surprise when one of us gets it. The steaks all together are cooked the way you like it. We always order medium rare and each time it is cooked just like so. The sides are your normal sides- will say it is your average- Ceasar is one of the go-tos and it's great everytime. Same with the baked potato. Our favorite though, has to be the rolls! With the delicious butter. They are definitely bigger than some of the competitors. And we always ask for some extra for our take home cause we can never finish our meal because we get so stuffed. The establishment is normally busy when we go in. But are always seated within less than 10 minutes. The decor is like your roadhouse with graphics, old school posters and decals. See you soon Logan's!

We stayed at the hotel next door so we decided to come check this place out plus we wanted to watch…read morethe NFL game. They had a bar in the middle with lots of TVs around the area so that was nice. Service took a little bit longer than expected but they did look a little short staff and we were not in a rush so we didn't mind. Everyone was moving and you could tell they were working hard. Menu was not overwhelming, prices were avg Let's talk about their bread rolls. It came with butter and another butter but it wasn't just any butter. Myself and my family were obsessed we needed another round. It was a honey cinnamon butter and it was so good. If we are ever in the area again, we are definitely making a pit stop her
