    Volcano Roll
    Burj S.

    We decided to stop by Sushi Yama today on the spur of the moment. We have been here a few times several years ago and somehow never made it back in a while. We were pleasantly surprised as a service was extremely friendly and helpful. The ambience was comfortable and most importantly, the sushi rolls we ordered along with a Nam Sod salad was very good We ordered the volcano roll, a tuna roll, a shrimp tempura roll and the crispy salmon roll. All of it were very tasty.. Surprisingly being a Boca restaurant we did find the prices to be outrageous! Yes, thank you YELP for the HELP! We will definitely be back when in the area !

    Salmon Belly & Eel

    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.

    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 go here every other day, but today the soups had raw shrimp and chicken when we asked to change it all they did was microwave it and brought it back at tha point we have been waiting for 3 hours and the manager only took half off on one out of 3 soups very disrespectful they need to change that customer service. on top of everything it was my wife's birthday, so probably never going to come here again after that. after I asked to take some off on the price of the soup, I was told that we already ate the soup and I said yes because we waited for three hours. We were hungry, but we did not eat the raw meat that you guys provided us. Over all i don't recommend arguing with them because you won't win the fight

    I ordered the combo entree letter D. This food was salty and I feel like the vegetables came from a frozen package.

    Kanpai in Boca Raton was such a fun dinner, especially if you like the whole cook-your-own-food…read moreexperience. We did Japanese BBQ and ordered a mix of meats, shrimp, vegetables, and all the little sides that come along with it. Everything cooked up really well on the grill, but the steak was easily one of my favorites, tender, flavorful, and even better with the dipping sauces and wrapped in lettuce. We also ordered sushi to start, including a spicy tuna roll and a shrimp tempura roll. Both were fresh and a nice way to start before getting into the BBQ. And obviously, we had to finish with s'mores. They bring everything to the table and you roast the marshmallows right over the grill, which was such a cute way to end dinner. The one downside was the cleanliness when we were being seated. We actually had to change tables twice because there was still food and debris on the floor around the tables that had been missed during cleaning I suppose. It wasn't the best first impression and definitely something they could pay a little more attention to between guests. Aside from that, the food itself was really good and the Japanese BBQ made for a fun, interactive dinner.

The restaurant is in a very, very busy area and the first thing we noticed walking in is how loud it was inside we asked to be seated in the rear where it was a little bit more quiet. After being seated, our server came quickly with a request for beverages and some menus. We didn't wait long at all. The service was good and friendly. We decided to try some things that we had not had before to see just what it would be like here at this particular restaurant and the results were a bit mixed but overall good. I had the Mongolian beef and I was happy with the dish. It was plentiful. The quality of the meat seemed good and the flavors were OK not amazing. My sweetheart had a fried rice and shrimp dish and while the tastes were OK, we were surprised at how few shrimp were in the dish. The food came hot and it came quickly and the presentation was very nice as you could see from the photos when we go back? the answer is probably. My suggestion is try this restaurant midweek when it's not so loud and see if you like it. It's open to the street and they have ample outdoor dining, which is nice but it was too muggy for us to sit outside that particular day. We didn't try their cocktails, but the people around us were enjoying them and they looked excellent. I hope you give it a try and comment or let me know what you think!

The restaurant is small and cozy. It's located on the west side of US1/Federal Highway. Sitting inside, you would not know you were on a busy street. After looking at their lunch specials menu, we decided to choose one of these items. So we really didn't even look at their regular menu to see what else they have, We each decided to get one of their bento box lunches. They also offer poke bowls and some sushi roll combos. I got their salmon teriyaki box. In addition to the salmon in one of the compartments, there was a California roll, 2 gyoza pieces, house salad, and edamame. In the middle of the box was wasabi and ginger slices. It was a lot of food. Everything was good, but I think I'd get the gyoza steamed instead of fried next time. My husband's box had all the same selections as mine, but instead of the salmon, he got sashimi. There were 6 lovely pieces of fresh raw fish -- tuna, salmon, and a white fish. He said it was very good. I'm glad we stopped here for lunch. It was a good choice.

First time going in, I was cautious to order so I got hamachi jalapeño ($29.99), toro with caviar ($39.99 for 1pc), and uni ($19.99 1pc very small amount) at market price. It took over 30mins for these appetizers and nigiri's to be served. Servers were friendly but unprofessional, looked very lost. The sushi chef was Korean, but definitely not Korean sushi chef quality work. There are plenty of places you can go to for equal or better quality sushi for better prices. The toro had Clorox scent as if it had been placed on a cutting board that has been wiped with a sports towel that was soaked in Clorox. The Uni was fresh but the amount was disappointing. I am uploading pictures from different places for comparison. Anyway no need for me to say anything else. Won't be returning, ever. I could barely swallow the 2 pieces of nigiri and app that was drowning in salty ponzu sauce. I will leave this place for people who dont know how to enjoy some good sushi. You won't be missing out on much anyway.

By the end of dinner, we both were full and could not eat one more bite. We definitely want to come back for another lovely evening. Thank you kindly to the team members for a memorable evening.
