    We wanted sushi and this restaurant looked promising based on the ratings. However, it unfortunately was not as great as we thought it would be. Ambiance: clean, modern. They have most tables set up for 2-4 and if you have a larger party, you may want to call ahead to ensure they will have seating for you. Food: unfortunately the sushi rice was basically unseasoned. Minimal vinegar/sushi rice taste. Rice was also very dry- And this permeated to the entire rolls making them quite bland with the main source of flavor being the eel sauce and soy sauce.... I will say I did like my spider roll overall since the soft shell crab was done well - and the crab stick they use does taste good/it was doused in the eel sauce so that helped some - but when the rice is not good, it really ruins the rolls. Service: our server was pleasant, but they're likely under staffed, as it was only one person waiting tables, 2 people making rolls, maybe one? other person making food in the kitchen. It took 20+ minutes to get our rolls with a not very busy/full restaurant. Family friendly: they have high chairs and there is plenty of space in the restaurant. I didn't use the restroom to check out the changing table situation. Value: the prices are fair/on par for casual sushi places, Overall, I am hoping it was just an off night for their rice and speed of service, but it will be a while before we decide to give it a second chance.

    Killer Shrimp Roll

    The fish was fresh and tasted delicious. The specialty roll was excellent. The classic rolls were a little plain in flavor but paired well with some spicy mayo. Lots of options for my friend who doesn't eat raw fish. Lots of customizable options for the poke bowls. I don't personally like cream cheese in my sushi but they seem to have like half of their specialty rolls with it. Waitress was lovely and strangely brought out poke in a to go container, which I'm not mad at but definitely a portion size I finished in the store. The seating is very casual with nice fish paintings on the wall and lo-fi music.

    Baked Scallop Roll

    Simple Fish has been on my radar since they opened but I don't usually make it that way very often. My boyfriend and I were in the area so we decided to stop in for lunch the other day. The space is pretty large and socially distanced for dining in. They were pretty busy with a lot of takeout orders around lunch time. There was only one other group dining in while we were there. The menu includes appetizers, poke bowls, sushi burritos, entrees, bubble tea, mochi, nigiri/sashimi, classic rolls, and specialty rolls. It's a pretty large menu with lots of great options. We ordered the baked scallop roll, the spicy california roll, bang bang roll, and salmon sashimi. Our server was also acting as food runner, phone answerer, and takeout order manager, so things were a little slow. I was glad that they were busy. I liked that the rolls came out at different times and the menu asks you specifically to eat the sushi as soon as it's served - which I have no problem doing! The bang bang roll was very delicious and similar to a roll we've had at Maru. I loved the cream cheese, although I know that some people don't like it in sushi rolls. The spicy california was your basic roll, nothing super fancy there. The baked scallop roll was always a favorite of mine at a sushi place I frequented in college, and I don't see it that often here in town. It was just as good as I hoped! The baked scallop topping is mixed with kewpie mayonnaise which makes it creamy and delicious. If you don't like seafood salad you'd probably want to skip this one. The warmth is a nice difference too. The salmon sashimi wasn't the best I've ever had, just not as fatty and decadent as some salmon I've eaten. It was still really tasty. I'm glad we got to check out Simple Fish and would definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area.

    Take out today for Poppy & I. Once AGAIN relishing the flavors, colors, art of this sushi! It's just DAMN delicious! Honestly have never had anything we didn't care for.

    Bang Bang Roll

    Excellent! Great spot, clean and quiet. Superb service and delicious food. The dining room was done well and very clean. It wasn't busy when my husband and I showed up on a Tuesday evening. There some take out orders coming in and out but the dining room wasn't busy. At one point a couple came in and were greeted by name. I love the idea that there are "regulars" patronizing this lovely little gem. While we waited for our order, we received a small plate of rolls "compliments of the chef"! How fantastic! We tried a couple of traditional rolls and a couple of house rolls as well and all were phenomenal. We will be back soon to try some more of the delicious sounding menu.

    Just look up their specials that they post on FB. I've tried a handful of the specials and they are always incredible! Plus, they look so beautiful! I used to go here more often when I still worked south of town, though now it is a bit far. I miss it a lot though, and hope to get back soon. The space is so open and inviting, with tons of natural lighting. The hosts at the front register have always been friendly, and helpful. Often I would go on my lunch break, and usually only had a short wait, maybe 10 minutes, for my food to be ready. One time I had to wait longer, but there were a few of us getting multiple orders to go to bring back to our office. Their standard rolls are also great quality, and I've never ordered it, but a coworker really liked the bulgagi she ordered. I definitely recommend them if you like sushi.

    Sushi burrito!!
    Matthew C.

    If I'm being honest, this place is totally deserving of 5 stars. The fish is high quality, and the other ingredients are fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is awesome. The only reason for four stars instead of five is there was some confusion with our call-in order, and I was a litttttle bummed with the sushi burrito. I love the idea of a sushi burrito, but I wasn't expecting the extra filler (spinach and extra rice). What I love about sushi is the consistency from bite to bite, and that is lost with a burrito. So, again, if I get to come back, this review will probably be updated to 5 stars if I can eat inside and order differently. Either way, an awesome restaurant!

    We were looking for a sushi spot that was open to dining in. Preferably with outdoor seating but considering the cooler weather, sitting inside was ok. Called around and this place was open to dining in! Tables were taken out so everyone is actually more than 6 ft a part when sitting. Staff: Very friendly! Our hostess was our waitress too. Smiles all around, when we entered, during our stay and while we left. Food: All yummy dishes! They gave us a free sushi roll that included 4 peices, a nice surprise! Smoothie style bubble tea was really delish. Environment: clean, simple designs, not overly extravagant or loud. LOVED the music (R&B)! I asked whose playlist it was and it was our waitresses list. Placed in a mini mall area, which can be deceiving in a negative way, but don't let that keep you from trying it. Bathrooms were clean. Parking right in front.

    What a great new sushi place - I guess it has been around for quite a while and I wasn't even aware of it. It is in a little strip mall, not too hard to find, and it wasn't busy at all on a Friday evening. The service was really good - our server was extremely helpful with any questions we had on the menu. It looks like a nice, new, clean place to dine in, and they have a really cool mural on the wall. We ordered 3 rolls - Green Monster, Solar Flare and a simple Spicy Tuna. All of the sushi was fantastic - it tasted fresh and had some cool flare and sauces with it. We will definitely be getting sushi from here again, and it isn't that far from our house, plus you don't have to drive downtown for it!

    This might be one of the best sushi places in the greater Grand Rapids area. I really enjoyed the Iron Dragon this evening. I'll be back!

The gentleman who runs this place should get an award from the city. During a recent visit, I witnessed the owner get cussed out by a fully grown adult who asked for the bathroom code without ordering anything. I was appalled at the level of indecency and lack of courtesy. Please note that it is the restaurant's policy (and likely the building's policy) that bathroom codes are only given to customers. Please, if you see behavior like this when you're at Sushi-Yama, please, please stand up against such ridiculous and childish behavior.

It was a super snowy night so it wasn't busy at all and we were seated right away. The menu is large and has regular items in addition to all you can eat, a lunch menu with specials, and they have hibachi tables on one side of the restaurant. Since we had plans after dinner I didn't want to do the all you can eat, but I would come back for it in the future. Nate and I ordered hot tea, two specialty rolls, one basic roll, and two orders of salmon sashimi. Everything came out at once on one big plate which was great. We ended up getting salmon sushi instead of sashimi. The rolls were a decent portion without being too huge to eat, and I did enjoy them. They kind of all tasted similar to me but the fish seemed fresh. The salmon sushi was not the best I've had though, but the prices are reasonable. Before tip our bill was about $50. While it's not going to beat my top favorite spot for sushi, Nagoya is on my list of places to revisit soon!
