“ I had a good experience at Yama this past weekend! Our server was really nice which I appreciated so much. I thought the tuna tare tare was good to start & I also tried the tom yum which was flavorful. The rolls were good but I feel pretty average but, the plating for everything was very pretty! It was also very clean inside & not too busy. I don't live in the delray area however, I feel this is probably a safe spot to choose if you want something quick & good. ”
“ 4 - Met Expectations For a sit down sushi restaurant, this place was pretty good. Nice stop if in the area. Good variety of different roles. ”
“ The food was great! I'd definitely go back again. The service was alright as the waitress left our food sitting there for a while before bringing it out. The table was also extremely shaky so we had to brace it with our legs so the food would not move around. The indoor portion of the restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. It's a nice place for a dinner date. ”
“ I enjoyed several Japanese dishes on a recent evening at the sushi counter. Normally, a complimentary amuse buche is handed over as a greeting when you sit at the sushi bar. Not here. Why? We started with fried pork dumplings. I usually like them pan-fried, but my husband ordered them incorrectly, and they came out piping hot, juicy, and crispy. I remarked that fully fried is scrumptious if prepared properly and not overcooked. I did wish the dipping bowl of gyoza sauce were bigger. It was hard to get the amount I wanted. Next, I had a sashimi appetizer prepared by an outstanding sushi chef. Large, chilled slices of salmon (buttery and silky in texture and taste), toro, and yellowtail were heaven on a plate for me. I often find that sushi bars (not the Omakase kind popping up all over town) are lackluster and failing in freshness and precision in their execution. Not so here. I ordered amaebi sashimi, raw, sweet shrimp normally plated with flash-fried heads (my favorite part of the dish), and the small shrimp bodies separated. Yama's amaebi shrimp was not the teeny sweet, small variety I am accustomed to, and the temperature was not cool enough to my liking, but I enjoyed the dish, nonetheless. Next, we shared yakitori and negimaki. Both dishes were outstanding. The yakitori was sKewered with scallion and doused with a sweet, thickened soy glaze. The negimaki was prime beef rolled around the scallion cut, similar to a sushi roll with a thin, mildly sweet sauce beneath the beef rolls. Each dish came out slowly but in a good way to savor each plate. Some diners want their food to come out quickly. I feel differently about this. I enjoyed the dining experience. I liked the look and feel of the atmosphere. There were tables of Japanese patrons and families, young 30-somethings, and plenty of banter that allowed you to hear your conversation. We imbibed in 2 large hot sakes (next time, I'd go for a cool variety), one large Asahi beer, ate a sashimi appetizer, the amaebi, a spicy tuna roll with extra crunchies, and the two hot appetizers. Our bill came to $111. Not terrible for how much we ate. I was full, but if pushed, I could have eaten through my wall of pain. ”
“ Hands down Delray's best sushi spot! We had the Lobster monster roll (cooked) and the salmon cc roll (raw). Both rolls were delicious, you must ask for eel sauce to eat with them. This place is a nice vibe for date night, happy hour, or girls night out. There's plenty of parking on the strip, nearby garages, and a parking lot is adjacent from here. We also walked right in and sat down without a wait. The inside was lively with music playing and people laughing/talking. Right next door it's a pretty popular custard spot, great stop afterwards for dessert. If you love sushi - come here! You won't be disappointed. ”
“ I was invited to join a friend here. I am so glad she suggested it. This restaurant is located in an area of downtown Delray i have not explored much. There are several restaurants nearby and a parking area up ramp behind the stores and restaurants. The restaurant has indoor seating and outdoor curbside seating which is very lovely. The interior is low light inviting and open. Our server was friendly and welcoming. I ordered a shrimp tempura "Dragon Tail" roll and my friend ordered the raw "Red Dragon"roll. I loved my roll. It was crunchy, sweet and sooo fresh avocado. My friend was also very happy with her selection. My Thai ice tea was also sweet and delicious. I will be returning here for more taste of their menu. Another point to mention , Whits Frozen Custard is a couple doors down. LOL ”
