The energy was good and the staff was very nice, very attentive. The menu was great(no AYCE) but great options, nonetheless. The Kalbi was absolutely satisfying. It was hot, tender and juicy (I was starving) the rainbow was good - I typically like when. They throw in some sweet shrimp. Most of the fishes on top were good. I'm a huge fan of unagi - it's not the best I've had but it was fantastic. They are open late and that is the best part.

Plano is close by and what I love about Yama in Plano is their specials. My work bestie and I love trying out their specials. We've tried so many great things on the menu.

Salmon, tuna, yellowtail, with jalapeños and kizami. Chef's kiss. Melanie is also very kind and knows everyone as well. She's super well rounded. Food and service is great!

We had scouted it out online, looking for a ramen place near where we were staying in Plano. Unassuming on the front, the inside is an amazing atmosphere with a vibe straight from a Shinjuku street stall. The wait staff was polite, and very nice. The chef was working away inside the replica street stall. The food arrived quickly, and was delicious! So much flavor! Everything new was somehow even better than the dish we tried before it. So good, so tasty! If we come back for another visit, Yatai is now on our list of restaurants to eat at again!

We came here with high expectations after reading the reviews. One person even compared this place…read moreto Ichiran in Japan which was definitely a stretch. I've had the pleasure of eating ramen in Japan and yeah, NO. The reason for the 1 star is because we were the first ones in at 11 and the waitress came in sneezing and wiping her nose with her hand, with her child in tow who by the way was all over the place and many times just standing at our table staring at us eat. I kept watching her to see if she would wash her hands or at least use hand sanitizer but she neglected to do either. The ramen: We ordered the spicy garlic pork shoyu and the spicy chicken broth ramen. The garlic pork ramen had 1 small piece of pork belly and the noodles while a great consistency, tasted like cardboard. The broth suffered from the lack of flavor. The chicken ramen was also pretty flavorless. The nerve of someone to compare this place to Ichiran lol. I will say, the service from the chef and the nose wiping waitress was pleasant but the grossness of her wiping her nose and touching every chair, bowl, utensils and eating her chips at the table across from us with her toddler is enough for us to never go back to this place even if it was the last ramen spot on the planet.

Our server was very helpful and kind. We ordered chicken karaage for starters and garlic chicken broth ramen as the main course. The serving size is quite big. I saw a vegetarian dish on the menu but I'm not sure if the broth is vegetarian as well. There is lots of parking on site. We hope to return soon.

The pork katsu came out nice and crispy and the fried rice was good, while the curry sauce was on the saltier side. Overall pretty decent joint. Lots of interesting other menu options we'd like to try in the future.

But I recently found out in the worst way that they changed the chicken recipe for the second time and now it doesn't taste good. I wanted to like it so much and it ended up being a waste of money.

My shoyu ramen was very good, wonderful broth, great noodles and bamboo shoots, and a very flavorful soft boiled egg. The chashu was fairly small, but it was still a great bowl. My partner's tonkotsu was not as good as the shoyu. Nothing stood out as bad, but the broth was weak and the fungus was mediocre. It did have a very generous amount of chashu. The service was great and the atmosphere was impeccable. I will likely return.

I visited on a Sunday evening, and there was only one other group of customers. This location is…read morenoticeably smaller than their others. There were two waitstaff and one cook. We were seated quickly, and our waters were brought out right away. However, the menu here is different from the other locations I've been to, so I recommend checking it before you come if you're expecting specific dishes. They were also out of some of their noodles. We placed our order, and the karaage salad arrived first within about 10 minutes. Sadly, the ramen came out almost 30 minutes later and wasn't plated cleanly. There was broth all over the edge of the bowl, and I even think the server's finger was in the broth when she dropped it off. Additionally, the ramen was missing the egg, and the noodles were overcooked. One of the waitstaff seemed to be the only one actually working, as he was helping about 95% of the customers in the restaurant. Overall, I highly doubt I will be returning to this location anytime soon.

Sushi Spot is part of a food court of sorts, all Asian cuisines, yet the warm wood chairs give it a very different feel than mall food courts. We ordered from a cool and up to date touch screen. Luckily one of my friends knew to get miso soup to go along ; it's a nice counterpoint, especially when the AC is going strong. We did not have long to look around before our order was ready. My friends tried to help me with the chopsticks, but luckily forks are available. We got a California Roll, a Dragon Roll and a Crunch Roll- I think, check photo below. All were delicious, but the Crunch Roll was possibly my favorite. Don't miss this if you are in the area!
