Very great service and very tastey food also the attention is the best very consistent also

1st visit here. It said 90 mins but it wasn't busy the Saturday night I went and the waiter kept saying we were fine no rush. Salad bar and fruits and soft serve ice cream you go up and get it yourself. But they have TEMPURA ICE CREAM on the AYCE menu. So don't forget to order that. We only ordered one roll because why stuff yourself with rice and then you have no room to eat other things that worth the price. We got the soft shell crab roll. It was delicious. Rest of the food we ordered were sashimi and few nigiri. All were fresh. The fish roe the big one was fishy as always the little roes are better. The sweet shrimp sashimi it was fresh an sweet but a bit tiny so we ordered over 10 each order. Tried the bowl of ramen, wow the noodles was tender. I didn't expect that. It's better than some ramen places. The amount of noodles isn't as big as a ramen place which make sense so you have room to try other things or order more again. Overall food was great worth the price if you can eat all the non rice items. read more

This is such a fun concept! We came for dinner and it's a flat rate of $35.95 for dinner to have all you can eat. You must do all you can eat at this restaurant, as it's the only option which is different! You have 90 minutes for your meal and will be charged for anything you didn't eat which is great so they don't create waste. We started with some appetizers and they were a 10/10. We ordered a variety of sushi rolls to share among the table. This type of restaurant is fun to do with a large group so you can all share and try different things. If you are not a sushi lover there are plenty of options including fried rice, hibachi, etc. we tried the fried rice and it was great and toddler approved! They have a salad bar and ice cream for dessert. Our service was great and the restaurant was clean. read more

Two things occurred last Saturday night: I was craving sushi and the Yelp app was down so I couldn't check in for my first visit to Sushi Yama just outside of the Castleton mall. I had no idea it was all you can eat situation and hesitated at first to commit to that as I don't usually eat enough to justify it. After looking at the menu which includes Sashimi, Sushi rolls, Hibachi, Ramen, soup, appetizers and a salad bar I decided to go for it. My favorite was the hibachi. The noodles and veggies were delicious!! I loved the flavor. The rest of items were pretty standard but good. Our server, Tan was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is huge and nicely decorated. read more

I heard about this place on Instagram and went the same day for early dinner. It's in the old Houlihan's spot attached to Castleton mall. It's super dark inside - had to use my phone flashlight to read the menu. Weekends and holidays are $36/pp and M-F 11a-3p is $23/pp, which includes all you can eat sushi, ramen, hibachi, various appetizers, and a small salad/fresh fruit bar - not a bad price. You get 90 minutes per table to order as much as you want, so I'd suggest your group arrive at the same time. Soda is extra for $3 with unlimited refills, Japanese sodas are $4/ea, and alcohol is $5/ea. With food made to order, food is a little slow but will come out in waves when you order multiple things, which I suggest to save time. Our waitress, Joyce, was lovely! The appetizer portions are very small, which I appreciate so there's less chance for waste - you can always order more. The sushi quality was not bad - not the best in the area but very fresh and made to order. My spouse said the ramen was okay, the pork and noodles were pretty good but the broth just lacked any flavor. Shrimp tempura had a very strange texture but chicken tempura was good. I loved the gyoza and the dipping sauce - those were excellent. Really bummed the only salad dressing is ranch, the thick sour kind (not house made) but the fresh fruit bar was awesome, with fresh strawberries, blueberries, green and red grapes, honeydew, pineapple, and frozen yellow watermelon. You can ask for ginger dressing from the back (not advertised) but it's thick and brown, not the traditional kind - I wasn't a fan. The salad bar also has wasabi, ginger, seafood salad, seaweed salad. The hibachi comes in a kids size portion, again you can order multiple so I appreciate the smaller size. Getting it with fried rice or noodles is optional. The tempura fried ice cream was suggested by our waitress but it was terrible - very wet and mushy thick batter, no crunch, lacked any flavor. Overall might return, but with a soda, tax, and tip it came out to over $50/pp. That's not bad for all that you get but overall quality is higher elsewhere. read more

Sushi Yama is easily one of my favorite AYCE sushi spots in Indianapolis. The price is definitely worth it for everything you get; unlimited appetizers, sushi, sashimi (dinner menu only) a salad bar, and even ice cream. Every time I've gone, the food has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. The restaurant and bathrooms are always clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I'll definitely keep coming back, especially for the Cowboy Roll. I crave it all the time. read more

Sushi Yama - Cowboy Roll - Izakaya Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I'm a sushi lover, however during lent I make an effort to have it on Fridays, and since I've not been here yet, I decided to check them out. Near the mall on 82nd, so you have plenty of parking, just watch out for massive pot holes! Was able to get a seat right away, and they explained the concept of all you can eat (which I loved because I've never had it until today) for 35 dollars you can get anything off the menu (outside of drinks) if you leave a bunch of extras you get charged; which is a great way to combat food waste. I went to town and ordered a bit of everything! It was fresh and tasty, and I enjoyed my rainbow and baby tiger roll! Definitely will be back, and this spot is worth checking out; they also have other options besides sushi! read more

YES INDY FINALLY HAS AMAZING AYCE SUSHU! I'm from Vegas where we have so many AYCE sushi options and I always miss that when getting sushi. I want to get all the appetizers and extras when I go and this is the best way to do it. Sushi Yama just opened last month and the quality was great. The dinner menu is HUGE and there is even a self serve salad and dessert bar (with soft serve ice cream). Our server was so sweet, the food was fast, everything was clean. We absolutely loved it. It is outside the castleton mall so easy parking! Definitely come hungry What we ordered: Mango salmon appetizer (MUST) Yellowtail jalapeño appetizer King Kai Roll Fresh Passion Roll Dynamite Roll Crazy Yellowtail Roll Soo much sashimi (tuna, salmon, yellowtail and more ) Seaweed salad Miso soup Edamame Shumai Tonkatsu Ramen Tempura Fried Ice Cream And the self service bar options read more

Fish was quality was solid compared to other AYCE sushi and conveyor belt places in Indiana Sashimi available Sushi rolls has a lot of variety and not too much rice (forgot to take pic of menu) Nirigiri kinda had medium amt of rice Menu had hibachi, fried options, udon which was solid for a non sushi eater with us I like the mango rolled in salmon a lot, mango was perfectly ripe Not a fan of the sauce on the tartare, it's like teriyaki bbq sauce and kinda heavy ~$35 per person And I ended up eating like ~40 sushi bites which I think is very fair! read more

Unlimited sashimi for dinner with incredible quality. They have everything, special rolls, appetizers, soups, ramen, katsu, hibachi. Everything served by piece so you can have a little taste of everything or a portion for sharing! Staff were incredibly kind and did a great job cleaning in between customers and orders. The space is gorgeous no matter where you are seated, I especially love the lighting and decorations. AYCE sushi is a gift to this earth. read more

Food was good and the restaurant was clean. You can order as you go, we usually put in 3-4 things at a time so the table wasn't cramped. The portions were small for the appetizers which was nice so that you could try a lot of variety of options. There was a small salad bar, ice cream machine, and fruit bar that you could help yourself at. I only tried the fruit of the 3 but it tasted very fresh! Overall good food and service but since I'm not big on sushi it was a little expensive. The steak hibachi had great flavor and was a small portion so you can try multiple things. I ended up getting it twice. read more

I love sushi, and I love all you can eat. This restaurant is the best of both worlds! For a reasonable price (around $35 for dinner), this place offers great sushi and Japanese dishes for all you can eat. Highly recommend trying any sushi roll, fried rice, hibachi steak, and fried tempura ice cream! The food tastes great, and they serve it pretty quickly. We have multiple different servers, and Kelly was the best. She stopped by our table multiple times to check up on an order that never arrived and made sure we got it. She even spent 10 minutes talking to us, which was so nice. They were so open to feedback as well. The restaurant has lots of seating and can definitely host a big group. It's part of the Castleton Square Mall, so there's tons of free parking. read more

This place is great and fairly priced for how big the menu is. Never been to a place where its call you can eat ramen, hibachi, and sushi. The only two complaints: the water here is gross, and the service could have been a little better (it wasn't busy but long wait times in between seeing our waitress wasn't ideal). The inside is super cute, which you wouldn't assume walking up to the building. Will definitely be back! read more

My husband picked out this restaurant for us to try. It's located just outside of the Castleton Mall. We came for dinner around 6pm and it wasn't crowded at all. Even if it was, there would be more than enough seating available. Lots of natural lighting during the day and a reasonable amount as it gets dark. Very cute set up. Easy to navigate. Our server was very friendly and service was EXTREMELY FAST. We did the all you can eat dinner and for about $35 we thought that was more than a steal. In total we had: fruit, salad, cheese wontons, dumplings (i think?), Cowboy Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Chicken Tempura, Steak Hibachi/Rice, Shrimp Fried Rice, Ramen and Ice Cream Everything but the ramen was amazing honestly. Even though the ramen was a little disappointing, our server notified us before hand it wasn't the best so we loved the honesty!! Despite that, everything else was delicious. The Cowboy Roll specifically was very interesting. It was shrimp tempura roll with crab, mayo and STEAK on top! It was my first time having anything like it. I could go on and on about each dish but it was ALL TOO GOOD. My husband and I cleared every dish. We will be coming back every time we are in town. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Best feature compared to Shoya Revolving Sushi, nearest AYCE competition, is shorter WAIT for your food which is brought directly to your table rather than delivered by revolving belt. This is likely since it isn't as busy because it's newer and slightly more expensive BUT you get what you pay for because it offers more VARIETY! Especially for weekends, it's worth the difference! read more

Ran into this new restaurant while walking out of Castleton Mall and decided to check it out since they were doing a soft opening. Honestly, it turned out to be a great find. For an AYCE sushi spot, the quality was surprisingly good. The fish tasted fresh, portions were generous, and nothing felt thrown together. I also liked that they offer ramen and hibachi, which gave the meal more balance. Service was friendly and moved at a steady pace, and the space felt clean and comfortable. This feels like a solid option for family dinners or meeting up with friends. For a new place just opening, they're off to a really strong start. read more

I love love love it!!! The service is so quick and on point!! This is the first time I came here with a group, they explained how everything works, food and salad bar are included, but drinks are separate. Their salad bar was really great!!! It was full of fresh fruit, a couple of salads and side. I loved their pickled ginger and their seaweed salad. I wish they had ginger dressing, they only had ranch dressing for their salads. That being said, if you want the most bang for your buck, the sashimi and jalapeño yellowtail (my favorite) are the way to go. The bigger rolls come with a lot less fish, but the smaller rolls come with more shrimp. Sadly I didn't take any pictures as I was too excited to eat lol. I am looking forward to come back and take pictures of what I eat. read more

Food was pretty good. it's all you can eat so be prepared. the gyoza was nice and crispy, my husband kind of enjoyed the shrimp tempura he said the dipping sauce was weird. the bubba gump and dynamite roll were good the hibachi chicken was nice but it didn't come with rice. since this place is the old houlihans it's awesome inside . the service wasc quick and efficient when I went. I could see me returning. read more

It's a new spot for me but it has potential and the staff is great everyone is so friendly I know you want to know how the food taste, well you just have to go one day read more

I found Sushi Yama from TikTok and definitely glad I went to try it out. The portion sizes are perfect for ayce. Not pictured we got calamari and chicken karage for apps and they were small and just enough to try and see if we liked them and wanted more. Go for the sashimi if you want the best, the sushi rice is a little dry, but it could have been because of the time of day when we went (it was 4pm). Also not pictured, I got green mussels and these are to die for. I haven't been able to find anywhere that will do green mussels with mayo and then cooked here in Indiana and i am so glad I found it. They have a self serve salad bar, which is great for some sides while you wait. The staff is so sweet. As they are still in their soft opening I'm loving the atmosphere. It's a very large space so each table has some sense of privacy in that you can have a conversation without hearing everyone else's as well. Overall I gotta say I'm exciting for Sushi Yama to grow and get into their groove. I have high hopes for this restaurant. read more

Our experience was mixed. The toilets were clogged and overflowing. We ordered shumai and they had some weird sauce on it. The service was good at first but got slower later on. Took forever to get our later orders. The sushi wasn't bad just different from what we are used too. But it's nice they have all you can eat salad and ice cream and fruit bar. read more

My husband and I decided to make the drive to castleton to try out this new sushi place located right outside the mall. We went a little early (4.30pm) on a Thursday - not optimal sushi times. However, it was very delicious. Each dish was really tasty. Most standard sushi offered, plus various speciality rolls. They have a sushi bar and ice cream. For my husband and I went spent a whooping $100 including tip. That's a lot!!!! The food was worth it but I can't say we ate enough to justify the price and we were pretty hungry. I wish it was closer to $70 for both of us. No alcohol, soft drink each person. We won't be back because of the price, but the food was really good! If you can afford it, get your grub on!!! I almost forgot to mention, the service was very good. Our waiter offered great suggestions and encouraged us to try different dishes he thought we would like based on what we were ordering. He was very attentive and would immediately offer to order us more food when we finished each dish. read more

I just enjoyed my first visit to Sushi Yama and was incredibly impressed. The restaurant had only been open two weeks, but you wouldn't know it by the experience of the staff. Kelley and Brian were very attentive and backed each other fluidly. Next the food...extremely fresh fish, creative rolls (not boring mass made), a wide range of amazing Asian dishes that will allow non-sushi diners happy. Oh, and it's unlimited for 90min and they produce everything very quickly. You have to check this place out. read more

The sushi rolls are wrapped with lots of rice. The fish is not very fresh. For $100 for 2 people, you can go somewhere with better quality. They also tell you that if you leave food on your plates, you'll be charged a surcharge. Not a very a good welcoming feeling, even though it's an all you can eat. read more
