Food was tasty but the portion size of the rolls were a deal breaker. Order 5 rolls (8 pieces) and it wasn't enough food for 2 of us Sadly won't be returning read more

Never had a bad experience here! The rolls could be a little bigger but my favorite is their YaYa! It's the closest thing to a Lion King which I'm used to back home in California. Love this place! read more

Stopped by for some sushi. The waitress did not take my order. And took another person, who showed up after me. So I'm still waiting. They are so rude. read more

The wife and I decided to try the new sushi spot by us on a Friday night! Read a few reviews before We went and said we couldn't believe the price. It must be low quality for that much. Usually I pay almost double to triple per roll and its meah. This place is legit. Great prices! Awesome staff! And the sushi was pretty damn good. All fresh! Even the ginger was fresh! We had the kraken and hulk roll and yellow tail and Cali roll as well. 23bux!!!!! Plus they gave us bottles of water for free. Thought it couldn't get any better than the great guy behind the counter gave my wife a Broncos T!!! This place has awesome sauce spilled all over it! Must try!! read more

I came here after my workout, because it was the only sushi place open at the time. It was different.... I placed my order everything was OK at first. I noticed that the chef was chewing something as he was making sushi (food?). I've never seen that before. I dismissed it. I waited and then I got my food all at once. Started with my seaweed salad. A little greasy but very good. Everything looked a little off. That's fine. I've never been here. Might still be good. I took a bite of my first piece of salmon. It's not cool or cold. It was solidly room temperature. Okay. I think..... not bad. Doesn't smell funny. I go for my next... It's dry?? I'm starting to get worried here. Is the fish dry, old and room temperature??? I look at the tuna. It's not deep bright red/pink. It's a light pink with a translucent white halo around the exterior. Omg. I start to freak out. I touch my rolls and poke them. Dry. I lick the fish. Dry and warm. I think I just ate bad fish I'm getting scared now. I ask for the check. I need to get home asap, so that I can induce vomiting. I need this out of my body....!!! The manager comes because I left a lot of food and only ate 2 pieces of fish. She asks what's wrong. I explain that the fish is old and dry. The color is off. (I'm fairly certain I look slightly confused and panicked at this moment). Just give me the check I'll pay. She says i don't need to pay. +1star for that. I'm writing this after puking. That oil from the seaweed salad helped bring things up smoother. I'm still concerned for my health. I really don't want the runs or anything. read more

Sushi YaYa - Great seaweed salad. The fish was dry and old. The fish wasn't cool or cold. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Loves this place so we came back. The staff was very friendly and cater to our needs. Looks like they did some upgrades. Fountain drinks . alot more sushi rolls added. New menu. It was another great experience. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The YaYa is still my favorite roll. We will definitely be back to try more of the new rolls. read more

For Denver-area sushi this was one of the better ones I've had. Salmon wasn't fishy tasting but wasn't fresh and seemed still partially frozen. I'm from the east coast and am a huge seafood snob so looking for something semi tolerable here and I'd go back here again but probably stick to specialty rolls not sashimi. Service was good and it was super quick and the inside atmosphere is nice and clean. read more

This is close to my house so we come pretty often. Customer service is hit or miss but the food tastes great every time. Price is reasonable and I appreciate the kids menu. read more

I would highly recommend this sushi restaurant. Went for lunch with my co-workers and we were looking for a new sushi restaurant to try. Sushi Yaya was perfect! The restaurant décor is cute and trendy. They have a great menu to stay and eat, or they have take-out. We also noticed from the menu that they deliver and cater. Sushi Yaya had an all you can eat lunch for $14.99 that was delicious. It allowed us to try many different rolls, appetizers and sushi pieces. They have a really interesting selection of rolls - we tried at least 15 - 20 different rolls and they were all absolutely delicious. All of the fish was really fresh. They had a great selection of spicy rolls that everyone loved. Their cucumber and seaweed salads were so crisp and flavorful. The staff was really friendly, helpful and gave great suggestions on new rolls to try. When we left they said, "See you tomorrow!". There is a pretty good possibility we will be back tomorrow! I think this will become a regular lunch spot for us. I'm also sure that we'll be ordering delivery from them on busy days. read more

Super amazing customer service, for starters. While my daughter and I waited for our food, the guy behind the counter let us grab a bottled water out of the cooler to enjoy. I ordered spicy tuna, california rolls, a chicken teriyaki bowl, and edamame - for $15. Furthermore, I asked for extra plain rice and they gave me an entire bowl of it for no extra cost. The place is exceptionally clean and open, they have a huge selection of sushi. The only complaint I had was that their edamame tasted...minty. I dunno. When you're expecting sea salt and you get an unexpected herby taste... it just caught me off-guard. Oh, and one more tip: I went in and kind of expected quicker service, but with only two guys working there, you wind up waiting a little longer than anticipated. However, like I mentioned, the ambiance is nice, and the sushi was delightful. read more

I have been eating here every single day for a year now and I'm very picky. I have several friends who own sushi restaurants and i don't eat at their places because I am very happy with the service and food at this place. Seriously, there is something wrong about the negative reviews because every day I get great food and great service. I have to say down with the haters and entitled ones. BOOOOOO read more

I ordered take-out. My first time here. Desperate for sushi. Ordering, pick up & payment is fine. It's located in a strip-mall. It looks like a burger joint. Cashier was very kind & friendly. Ultimately if you like super fresh excellent quality sushi, don't go here. My son wouldn't even eat the sushi rice. The nigiri salmon was cut badly (flat & thin, no sushi chef created this) and tasted old. It was just wrong. The California roll was bad as well - rice covered in seaweed wrapped with more rice. I think there was a sliver of cucumber and a hint of avocado in there. The best thing I ordered was the baked yaya roll. But still - it was the abundance of mayonnaise and sauce that made it tolerable. The prices reflect the quality. Their variety/menu shows their sushi knowledge (very little.) If you enjoy supermarket sushi this is your joint. Otherwise you're better off driving somewhere else. read more

I have been coming her for the past three years & it just keeps getting better & better. Sushi Yaya is incredible & the only place I can get my boyfriend to eat (he hates sushi) & he loves it read more

If this restaurant keep the quality of their food and service, I will be their most loyal customer. Love this place!!! Their sushi is unique, tasty, and fresh. read more

Sushi YaYa - Menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

This place is bizarre and not your typical sushi place. I was in town for a business trip and was staying close by. This place had the highest reviews on yelp so I though I'd give it a try. I was totally thrown off by the seating situation. A combination of tables and chairs, some high, some low, and no sushi bar. This in particular threw me off since I was dining solo but it didn't matter and I took a seat by the window. The place was pretty busy but I think they're understaffed too. I ordered hot tea only to be served hot water in a paper cup with a tea bag on the side. WTF? After getting my "tea" I sat there for a bit waiting for a menu then finally had to get up and get one myself. I figured out was I was going to order then sat there for a while and watched the solo server bus tables while the rest of the patrons sat there watching, each recognizing the awkwardness of the situation. Finally he came over and I placed my order. I ordered miso soup, the Winter Roll, and the Keyla Roll. The Winter roll was delicious but wasn't served with the traditional ginger and wasabi on the side. It also came out before my miso soup which was odd but oh well. The Keyla roll came out and the server put it down but called it the wrong name. I had to question him to make sure I was getting what I ordered and then he corrected himself, but I still wasn't certain. I looked up the description on my phone and realized there were missing ingredients. When I told the server the avocado was missing he just laughed it off and asked if that was ok. There was no pride in the preparation. I decided I wasn't going to eat it so I asked for the menu again. This time I ordered the Tempura Ebi roll. For a tempura roll this came out extremely fast. It's as if the shrimp tempura was ready and waiting to be rolled. It tasted that way too. The flavor of the roll was good but I expect a tempura roll to be hot and this was luke warm at best. In the meantime, I watched a party of 4 ask for the server's attention several times, ask for wasabi, ginger, chopsticks and everything else that should automatically come with a sushi dinner. They were also complaining about the portion of the teriyaki and a few other things. While the flavors of the sushi and the music was good, and it's reasonably priced, I would not recommend this place. On an up note, they did take the Keyla roll off the bill (after I asked since it technically wasn't what I ordered). read more

Absolutely Awesome food! Bryan is a wonderful chef and very pleasant individual to converse with. Fun atmosphere and incredible sushi. Very fresh and very well prepared! read more

The service is great, but the host was wearing blue jeans, sneakers, and a tshirt to work. It was a little unprofessional. There is a lack of decor, the walls are painted a mustard yellow and there are signs that furniture scratched the wall. It was unwelcoming just because it was so bare and some of the tables weren't high enough for some lounge chairs, which would make it difficult to eat from the table. Lastly, the sushi was still partially frozen when it was brought to us, and it made it very hard to consume. There was no authentic taste to the sashimi. YaYa has been open for a while, but I think the higher reviews came from people who haven't really had good sushi before. read more

I really wanted to love Sushi YaYa due to the super close proximity to my home, but it wasn't everything I hoped it would be. I got the tempura meal, California rolls, seaweed salad, and my mom got the shrimp tempura bento box. Let me start by saying that the seaweed salad and California rolls were delicious, what I'd expect, and I will go back and try other rolls in the hopes that they are good as well. The tempura was just okay. The vegetables seemed like they may have been the bottom of the barrel (last small bits of veggies they had) and they were over cooked ie: super greasy. My mom was not impressed by the bento box. She liked the California rolls, and said the salad was okay (not her favorite salad dressing, but not the worst), but she was disappointed in the teriyaki vegetables. I think the veggies in both our dishes were old, the last veggies they had, limp, thin, not the best. The strangest part of our meal (which was a take-out meal), was the soy sauce packets they gave us. For whatever reason they were so covered in grease that it was a struggle to get enough traction to open them. Once open, we found that they did not taste like soy sauce. They were sour. Were they spoiled? Old? I didn't know soy sauce could go bad? I will try Sushi Yaya again and hopefully have a better experience next time. read more

Sushi YaYa - I made a bird with eel sauce - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

I ordered 4 rolls for lunch and I only ate one of them. They put way too much mayo sauce on 2 of the rolls. And I LOVE Mayo. And they were so poorly rolled and tasted weird, I am really hoping I don't get sick. I won't order here again. read more

The only thing better then the food was the service. Really enjoyed are meal. And will be back soon. Namaste.

Delicious and creative rolls! We were really excited they even had shumai. Great service and great price.

They are so friendly and attentive. The prices are reasonable, and the food is tasty! Ive been stopping in maybe twice a month for a quiet relaxing lunch break. I like that I can take my time here and not feel like an inconvenience to them. read more

I wish this place was in a better location because it is amazing! Love coming here for the lunch hour, never busy always fast service. The sushi is amazing, always tastes fresh. My favorite is the Volcano. Same waitress every time we come in here and she is a delight! Always friendly. read more

Went here for the first time last night- GREAT SUSHI and awesome prices!! All their specialty rolls are $7.99 and simple rolls like California are $3.99! That's cheap! We got 6 rolls (3 or 4 specialty rolls) and edamame ($2.99) and our bill was $47 before a tip. We will be returning again! The waitress was super sweet and attentive. Also- if you want to eat sushi on a budget (we usually try), we get the basic rolls and then ask for spicy mayo and eel sauce on the side! Some places charge you like $1 for sauce, but many don't. Then you can have the basic rolls with the good sauce and save some money! (sometimes that's what makes them a specialty roll- some sauces and another meat). read more

Sushi YaYa - Snapped a picture after we started digging in. So yummy and cheap! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

The sushi itself was good, it had good flavor and texture to it. However, a day after eating I started to feel unwell. It turns out I have food poisoning. Chills, fever, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. Now I'm at the point where I cannot eat or drink anything without vomiting. Please make sure your food is fresh when ordering it. Other than that, they had very nice service. read more

We ordered 4 speciality rolls for our main course and miso soup and crab cheese wontons to start. The service was slow and apologetic. It was not crowded on a Tuesday evening. The starters and sushi were underwhelming. The price was on the cheaper side, but still didn't justify the food quality and service. read more

Went here last week and we had Diarrhea for like 3 days. The larger specialty rolls seemed normal, like the rainbow rolls. But the smaller ones such as regular salmon and yellowtail were tiny, looked worse than a Pinterest do it yourself first attempt. Smelled and tasted "fishy" and not right, as other reviews have stated. The "Sriracha mayo" was globbed on by the waitress WAY TOO MUCH and gross. I could see why you'd risk it for all you can eat, but we spent like $90. So not worth it. Go elsewhere. read more

Love this place sushi is great, you get a ton for a decent place. Hope they make it thru this madness because they are my go to sushi place.

I came here for lunch on a Monday.. what a mistake. The sushi looked good in the restaurant so I ordered takeout. The Mango Roll was recommended to me as "one of the best on the menu". I ended up eating 1 1/2 pieces of it and throwing the rest out. The tuna/shrimp tasted extremely questionable, and my mouth started to feel weird within minutes. Huge waste of $10. Praying that I don't get sick from this, but after reading past reviews it seems like that may take a miracle... read more

Sushi rolls are loose and not cold. Waiter not able to answer any questions about the food. Very slow service. The guy preparing the sushi would watch tv while we ate, then go roll more sushi - didn't see him wash his hands. Not worth the risk, plenty of other sushi places. read more

Mediocre sushi! Went for lunch and definitely not impressed! If you respect sushi and enjoy the taste, dont even bother going here !! read more

If I am honest, I was afraid to go to an all you can eat sushi place. The price point is $14.99 for all you can eat, but you can only order 3 rolls at a given time. I am not saying this was the best sushi in the world either, but it was equivalent to the price point. What moved it from 3 to 4 stars was the service. Our waiter was attentive but not bothersome and he really paid attention to detail in our orders as well as preferences. The interior doesn't look like your typical sushi place, but it was very clean and bright and there were unique seating arrangements. read more

Ordered takeout and was told it would be 15minutes. I got there after 30 and they hadn't even started my order. They took my number down and could have called me if there was going to be a delay. Thank you for wasting my time and gas during my 30 minute lunch break only for me to leave empty handed. read more

It's 11:20am on a Monday. Yelp says they should be open. The door says they should be open. I checked the windows and no note. All I have to say is... If you aren't going to be open... Put up a sign. Please! I'm hungry! read more

We went for the all you can eat lunch which they do not offer anymore. We decided to try it out anyway and were not very impressed. The rolls were not that great, especially for the price we paid, for lunch. There was not anything glaringly awful, the restaurant was clean and the service was nice, but for us sushi is a treat and the price of what we had compared to the taste did not equal out. We will go somewhere else for our sushi. read more

Best sushi in town!!! Love this place! Good food, good service, great prices! We go here often!

Im a big fan of Sushi, myself and a few co workers found this place a few months ago and its become a frequent lunch spot for us. The presentation, quality and freshness keeps us coming back. The staff are all so nice and friendly, the place is large enough to fit a couple of groups yet small enough to make it feel quant and personal. Pricing is really affordable compared to many Sushi places in the area. 2 ppl w drinks and several pieces of sushi can dine w tip for under 40 bucks... Bottom line its not fine dining, its not a fast food place... The Sushi is made to order and so full of flavors. We'll continue to frequent here. read more

Sushi Yaya is my new favorite neighborhood sushi joint. It's not fancy but with their all you can eat lunch deal, big, fresh, flavorful rolls and fast friendly service I'll be back. read more
