    Salmon Belly & Eel
    Charles J.

    Sushi Yama! Let me paint you a picture: First bite of the salmon belly sushi and I nearly made eye contact with the chef to say 'Sir, you've done it again.' Delectable doesn't even do it justice--it was buttery, rich, and straight-up seductive. The chicken Katsu? Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and so good it had us questioning every life choice that led to us not ordering two. Naturally, we were vibing with Saratoga water because we're fancy like that(not really). Hydration, but make it premium. If you're not sipping Saratoga while eating sushi, are you even living? Then came the Big Bang Shrimp--aptly named because each bite was an explosion of flavor and shrimpy greatness. Big. Hearty. The shrimp equivalent of a bear hug. Now, the Gyoza... listen. It was good. It did what it came to do. But we made the rookie mistake of going deep-fried instead of pan fried, and you could taste the missed opportunity. That one's on us. Still solid, just not the main character energy we were hoping for. All in all? A flavorful fever dream of a meal. Would order again with zero hesitation... except the Gyoza, we'll hold the L there while Sushi Yama holds the dub!

    We love it so much here! Have been coming here for over 20 years. The sushi is always so fresh and they even have brown rice. Their tuna is absolutely amazing and ask for a side of the kimchi sauce. This is my favorite sushi restaurant. Great service, great food, great roll.

    I was visiting my family here in Boca FL and I am from CA and my family took me to this place for dinner. My family comes here often and said this place has good sushi and the ambiance is nice. And is true! The owner and servers were so friendly and good services . They don't just served sushi is also Thai foods as well. Everything here was so tasty and yummy! This place also has private room area, full sushi bar and full Liquors. This place is so clean and the bathroom is very clean as well! Thank you Sushi Yama for keeping this place so clean and the foods so yummy! I will be back when the next time I come and visit my family.

    Very beautiful place. I really enjoyed the customer service. I had no issue getting my food on time and the food was good quality. Really fresh and delicious.

    We went here for lunch and I am not sure why but the waiter seemed to be a big confused. I ordered hot tea and it came cold. The. I ordered two rolls (spicy tuna and eel). I ordered salad with dressing on the side and miso soup to go. honestly, the food was just fair at lunchtime. I don't know what was going on as the place was not busy. There were a lot of complaints at the table usually, they do much better.

    Food is phenomenal with such great price. Everytime I eat here, my partner and I both get 1-2 sushi rolls, 2 soups, 1big dish of fried rice, and a round of drinks and it always comes out to $50-60 for the entire meal! I am always so happy to go here. Staff is very nice as well especially the sushi chefs! The ambiance is a good vibe as well- very cozy and friendly.

    We'd been here many years ago when one of our then favorite places in the center was closed for vacation. I have to say that this visit was better. And frankly, my husband's meal was a much better choice than mine, this time. There is plenty of parking out front in the lot. It gets kind of busy because of the Publix grocery store nearby as well as a number of other restaurants on this corner. It's cool and the lights seem blue and a bit dark when you first enter. We were seated in a booth. I had to use my flashlight to read the menu, but that's not a big problem. I'm used to doing that. The menu is quite large. They don't tell you about their specials. You have to turn to the back page. They have a number of lunch specials from which to choose. They are reasonably priced. They come with your choice of soup or salad. I chose the lunch special with beef teriyaki and shrimp tempura. I started with their salad. It was a bowl of iceberg lettuce and carrot shreds and a grape tomato. They are very generous with the ginger dressing. And we both liked it. The lunches come in a bento box. Mine had about eight slices of beef topped with teriyaki sauce along with one piece of broccoli. In another compartment were two pieces of tempura battered shrimp along with one large round slice of a tempuraed sweet potato. Another compartment had a scoop of white rice; another some pickled bean sprouts; and the last a wedge of a fresh orange. The beef was good, the shrimp just so so, the sweet potato good. And I didn't care for the cold bean sprouts. My husband also had the salad to start. His bento box had a four-piece California roll; three pieces of sushi; six pieces of sashimi; and a mound of seafood sunimono salad with octopus et al. It also had those cold bean sprouts and the same orange wedge. It was very good and very fresh. And an excellently priced lunch. I'd go back again if in the area, but I'd choose a different option. I'm sure that my husband would enjoy the same lunch he had again....

    My friends and I had stopped her for dinner after coming back from the Renaissance Festival. We got seated right away for our large group and we got served our drinks. I ordered the chicken spring rolls which were delicious and had the Sushi Yama roll and the Honeymoon Roll. The Sushi Yama roll was the best one as it was wrapped in a crepe! It was an interesting combination. The service started off great but two of my friends didn't get their food on time and they were getting upset. By the time their plate's arrived I was already done with mine, and when we wanted to close out our waitress was nowhere to be found. We had to wait for some time for her to return. I'll probably be ordering online and taking it to go instead of dining in.

    People. Eating.

    First, I found the menu to be overwhelming and complicated to read and understand. Admittedly, it was my first time here looking at the menu, but the others in the group also had the same experience. We went for some "safe" items which were in the menu and we weee familiar with them from other restaurants. We had pad thai with chicken. It was very tasty, although a thick somewhat sweet sauce covering the noodles made me wonder how many calories and carbs there were. The chicken - thick chunks - was tasty. At $14.95 it seemed to be high priced for the portion size. The seaweed salad was fresh and a nice size. It had some "stuff@ which didn't look like seaweed, and it was tasty and reasonably priced at $6.95. The Saratoga Sparkling water had lots of bubbles and was icy cold. But, at almost $5. For a small bottle, it was exorbitantly priced. We order bottled water at all the restaurants we dine at and I know the pricing. The chop sticks were slick, and a bit diffuse to hold. The cloth napkins were not all cotton. They must have been some polyester stuff, as they were all shiny and slippery and I could not get it to stay on my lap or tucked into my shirt. It was very annoying. I am accustomed to Frette linens. KAT was our server. She was professional, warm and engaged us in conversation. She was the highlight of the meal!! See her pic. By only a 3 star rating. Pricing too high. PLUS But more importantly. There was a woman sitting at a table next to us with her cute dog on the table, drinking from a glass of water (appeared to be tap water!). When I asked her if I could take a pic she snapped back "NO". Don't think I'm a dog hater. I'm a dog lover and have one who I cherish. But management should allow its patrons to sit their dogs on the table where people eat. NO BUENO Would I go back? Ah. Unlikely considering all the restaurants in East Boca with 5star food and service.

    We had a wonderful lunch here…read more They weren't busy when we came in. Just a couple other tables were occupied. One room is the regular dining room, and the other is a huge sushi bar taking up the length of the restaurant. The restaurant is a Korean restaurant with Sushi and Dim Sum and a few other Chinese meals. The regular menu is large. Plus, if you are there during the week, ask for their lunch menu. My husband ordered their sushi bento box from the lunch menu. It came with a house salad with ginger dressing and miso soup to start. The salad was crisp, and he liked the ginger dressing. The miso soup was served hot and had pieces of tofu in it. The bento box had 5 pieces of sushi and a half hamachi roll (he could have also chosen a half tuna instead). He said the fish was very fresh and delicious. I started with an avocado salad -- from the main menu. It had a lot of slices of avocado on top of the lettuce with cucumbers and tomato. There was a vinegar-based dressing on top of the salad. It was good, but I preferred the ginger dressing which I got a bit of on the side. Then I ordered a few items from the Dim Sum section of the menu. I started with their turnip cake. It was perfectly cooked on the outside and soft and creamy inside. It's one of my favorites and usually if they do this one well, then all the others are good. I'd wanted to try their shrimp stuffed eggplant or the crispy shrimp with taro but they didn't have any of these in house. So I had their classic steamed crystal shrimp dumplings. I liked these as well. We had very good and friendly service throughout. We even got a taste of two of their kimchi's as a comp offering. There are a number of Korean dishes and combos with different soups and grilled meats and fishes that we'd like to try. I know we will be back here -- I'm hoping that it is sooner rather than later.

    Headed over shortly after learning about it on IG on Friday. I sat at the sushi bar and had the…read moresushi entree that comes with 9 pieces of nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. All the fish was very good and they use fresh yellowfin which is a big plus. I also had an appetizer of Korean pork dumplings which were simple and tasty. Unfortunately they didn't have Uni or any of the fish bellies. The chef said they couldn't buy them bc they're brand new and don't have the customers yet. Hopefully they'll speculate soon, bc people aren't going to be happy when they do show us and several top offerings are unavailable. I will definitely be back and I look forward to trying Korean entrees and dim sum soon. Ambience is nice and comfortable.

The staff was really nice, the restaurant was super clean, and the ingredients were fresh. I had the spicy Taiwanese soup base. My boyfriend had the Coconut Tom Yum.

The conveyor belt was super fun because you could watch it as it went by and pick up whatever garnishes you wanted. Green onions, mushrooms, parsley, cilantro, cauliflower ... I could go on and on.

This place offers a set price for Hot pot and is buffets style as well as conveyor belt delivery for veggies; you just swipe what you want. You start by picking a soup of choice and then you gather the food you need, cook it yourself in the pot and there are instructions and available on the wall for cooking times. It's relatively straightforward. Be careful with how much you grab as they will charge you for any excessive leftovers. I got the tom kha and my fiance got the tom yum. He found his soup to be a little on the lemony side for his taste but I think that's just a preference not a reflection of the quality of the soup. I loved my coconutty tom kha. Our waiter showed us how to operate the dial and gave us information about cooking time recommendation. We ordered some hot tea and had a wonderful time. The buffet appeared to be clean and the food fresh and well kept. I tried a variety of meat as well as seafood. The shrimp had a little bit of a previously frozen kind of taste but the scallops were excellent. I think in the end I'm not a big fan of the red meat even though it cooks quickly and tastes fine I just think preference wise I more so enjoyed loading up on the vegetables and noodles. The best thing I had there was the gyoza, so freaking good, highly recommend. It is worth noting that my fiance love the meat, so the great thing about this place is the variety and how multiple people can sit down and enjoy what they like, together. Drop by!

Also, the restroom used to have a beautiful chandelier, and now it looks like something happened to it -- only hanging wires are left, which takes away from the otherwise polished aesthetic. Still, KAPOW remains one of our favorite spots because the food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is fun and stylish, and service is always quick.
