    Good place. The prices on Yelp are very outdated. I took the liberty of taking pictures and adding so everyone is aware of the pricing. Good is good! I will be going back.

    Okay don't hate me, but the Chicken Yamas Fries were alright! Much of the flavor is from the protein-teriyaki chicken. I didn't really get any flavor from the sauce they used. I will say the portion is good for 2 people.

    This place is a solid option if you're craving teriyaki :) I work in Westminster now and this place is being raved by police officers and government personnel so it must be that good. The place is an ordinary teriyaki joint and has a very clean ambiance. I assumed it's a mom and pops store based on the friendliness that they have. Nothing too fancy and simple :) I ordered their half chicken and beef plate which has beef and chicken with rice and salad. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The meat is sorta dry but the teriyaki sauce really helps the texture. Overall, not bad I'll go here again whenever I crave for some teriyaki :)

    *** $10 minimum to use credit cards or debit cards *** Yamas Teriyaki is known for its homemade teriyaki sauce and has been serving the local community for over a decade. The flagship location is in Huntington Beach with a second location in Westminster. [Parking]: Plenty of parking spots available - I always find a spot whenever I come here at 7 PM. [Menu]: Pretty straightforward menu featuring bowls and plates with chicken or beef. They also offer California rolls and crunch rolls. Lunch specials are served from 11 AM to 3 PM. *** Chicken bowl (small $9.59): The chicken was grilled nicely, but the bowl had slightly more rice than I would like and the bowl was not the best bang for the buck. (3/5) Chicken veggie (small $10.99): The plate was slightly larger portion than bowl and the plate also included fresh vegetables. This plate was a much better option than the chicken bowl. It was worth an addition $1.50 price difference. *** A solid 3.5-star on food & I would recommend chicken veggie plate over chicken bowl for the best experience. As long as you avoid ordering the small teriyaki bowl, most of the other main menu items exceed the $10 credit/debit card minimum.

    This place is an institution- I've been coming here since my brother used to get us their food after a long day at school. The quality of food is still great as it was back then, and the smoky flavor of the chicken and beef gets you salivating for more! The ambiance hasn't changed in a while, but they have kept their warm, traditional look for over a decade! Don't need to fix what ain't broke! Food always comes out quick, I generally call in beforehand and they have everything ready in 5-10 for pickup :)

    Local spot Yamas Teriyaki is a clean, welcoming place with super friendly staff. There are tons of great food options, plus a couple of sushi choices as well. We ordered some California rolls, chicken and beef plate, and the chicken and beef veggie plate, and everything was fresh and satisfying. The real star of the show is the Yamas Fries. They take a little time to come out, but they are 100 percent worth the wait. Seriously addictive and the main reason I keep coming back. I love supporting places like this. There may be other similar spots around, but none of them hit quite like Yamas Teriyaki.

    It was our first time here and she (the owner I think) gave us complimentary drinks and was so attentive throughout our time eating the meal! She was so nice and considerate. I would've gone back just for the food, but the service gave me even more reason to come back. The food was very good. The fries were very crunchy and crispy, despite it being loaded with sauce and meat. The beef bowl to the right was also good since the meat had so much flavor.

    The owner and the workers are extremely nice, i found this spot on ig, I order two items plate and yamas fries with pork, the food is extremely good and cook well. The owner is a sweetheart, her smile is what made this review special. Please check them out!

    Pretty good. Simple menu but good if you like teriyaki. The beef was better than the chicken for me. Chicken was burnt and dry. Will prob get beef and veggies new time. Friendly service and convenient location

    WOW! Could name my first born after whoever made this delicious teriyaki sauce. Don't listen to the bad reviews you want to see the kind gentleman who took our order and grab some yummy food from him. The portions are also big enough to share so it just adds to the list of good things about this place.

    I use to think MOS2 was the best until I tried Teriyaki House Grill and that was better than MOS2. Now that I'm trying Yamas Teriyaki, it's my #1! Their beef is sooooo delicious soft and juicy. Their sauces are fire and their chicken is good. Their egg rolls are small but fresh and good! Worth trying! Prices are fair for what you get. Will def be coming here once or twice a week lol GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

For the omakase we get a choice of three appetizers, two pasta dishes, chefs choice entree, chefs choice risotto, and a choice of dessert for each person.

This visit we went with beef tataki, salmon burrata, deep fried oysters, shrimp tempura salad, eggplant and mushrooms pasta, Uni pasta, scallops risotto, and the prime steak. Each dish is an 8/10 or better. I would gate keep this place if I could, but many who don't know that good Japanese Cuisine is not just limited to sushi.

I would definitely get this again. The portion is actually pretty good too Scallop risotto- risotto was creamy and flavorful. Scallops were cooked well. They should put a disclaimer that you may only get 2 pieces instead of 3 as listed on the menu. When I asked the staff about it, the chef said it's because the pieces given are the same as 3 which was a bit weird since the pieces didn't look that big compared to the photos on Yelp. This dish also comes with a salad. Chicken katsu curry- I ordered it medium, but honestly the curry is on the sweeter side with no heat at all. You also get raisins which makes the curry even sweeter. For $26, it's not a good price point for this type of dish. You can get this dish for much cheaper at other establishments. I would pass on this dish. Staff was nice and interior is clean and a bit cramped. My meal was over $100 for the 3 items which I normally wouldn't mind if the quality offsets portions given. Be prepared to spend lots if you want to get full! Also, keep in mind they charge an NCA fee if you don't pay cash. This place is a solid 3.5 for me.

They do this near the end of the month on Mondays. Unfortunately, this is their 3rd to last event as they're going to be doing some restructuring. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Drinks were flowing and the sashimi was non-stop. Nigiri and handrolls were also delicious and I ate until I was close to puking. It was super cool to be able to cut into the fresh fish from Mexico. It's definitely tougher than it looks. I always thought it would be easy to cut like butter, but definitely takes a lot of strength and skill. There were other tasty tuna dishes like the miso soup, salad and crispy tuna steak. I recommend sitting at the bar so you can see Chef Yamasaki cut the fish in the front row seats. It was cool to taste the varying levels of fatness of the fish. The super chutoro was practically butter. They also offered tuna to go at $50/lb. Definitely worth it. The venue is their regular restaurant but with more tables in the middle. A little loud but definitely a fun time. There were 3 birthdays too!

The entire meal lasted 2.5 hours, and that was only because we ended it early and asked for the check. We ordered the Omakase Yamasaki for $69, and everything we received was amazing. The salad to start was great, and the fish was prepared perfectly. However, the pacing really took away from the experience. I'm not sure if they were understaffed, but the service was so slow that by the end we were exhausted and didn't even want to finish the meal. We also mentioned that my friend has a shellfish allergy, but a crab hand roll was still brought out. While it was very delicious, my friend couldn't eat it, and we chose to leave without a replacement because it would have taken another 20 minutes. The food was memorable, but the service and timing need improvement for the experience to match the quality of the food.
