    Eel roll. California roll, smelt roe
    Daniel M.

    I stopped in after working at an event in town and thought I'd give them a try. They have a nice selection of sushi amd fusion type dishes. I just got the seaweed salad, a fried oyster app. And a couple rolls. They were all very good and came out of the sushi bar quickly. I'll be back!

    Miso Soup

    I've been to Volcano years ago when I was a student and I remember it being a fun place for group dinners. It still is and the service and staff are wonderful. This time though I wasn't completely satisfied with the meal. I usually get sushi, but this time I tried the steak teriyaki. The steak was cooked perfectly, however the sauce was not good to me. It was so thick and sweet that I felt like I was eating barbecue sauce. My sister's chicken katsu looked great, but she also commented that the sauce didn't seem to go with it. She used mine instead lol. The side salad was so wet and the dressing tasted off. The miso soup was hot how I like it and the gyoza were delicious.

    We had such high hopes coming back here. We have always had great experiences here. It's been years since we last ate here and there are more seats inside. We were seated right away which was fantastic. Our server brought us water but didn't take our order for 15 minutes. We ordered the Special Roll combo which comes with two rolls, soup, and salad. We had the spicy beach, rainbow, and sunset rolls. Honestly, the rolls are fantastic. The problem is the wait to get the food. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes to get our sushi. We considered leaving a few times but each table around us was being served so we thought we'll be next. It appears they are serving to go and online ordered as well and they definitely were served before us. It wasn't just us. All the tables waited a long time to be served sushi. The hibachi was pretty quickly. I would say if you're going to come, don't come during dinner or order it to go because it's really not worth the long wait.

    While the servers were very cordial and nice, and the atmosphere is pleasant, the food was just not good. Their yellowtail jalapeno appetizer is deep fried with cream cheese... And no, it doesn't mention that on the menu. If you are a fan of this appetizer, then you know typically it's fresh (raw) yellowtail slices, in a ponzu or similar sauce, with slices of jalapeno on top. It's fresh, light, and a good way to judge the upcoming dishes. I wish I had ordered that without ordering anything else, as I would never have expected it to be deep fried with cream cheese! Their crab is fake crab, which is typical, but to have it *in* and *on* a roll is the epitome of mediocrity. The escolar was stringy and chewy, which is just downright strange. Can't recommend. Positives: The eel was decent, the house wine was cheap, and as I said, the waitresses were nice.

    Seaweed salad

    Delish, the fried bananas topped it off and made for a great lunch. Spicy tuna was favorite.

    Very nice place!! Sushi takes good! I also like the decoration and the atmosphere . It is bright and spacious. Celebrated my birthday with a friend here.

    Our bridge of 6 rolls. All of which were amazing.
    Theresa H.

    Quiet peaceful and clean atmosphere. Beautiful delicious rolls. Friendly service. Great appetizers (pork dumplings) super happy with everything we ordered and would go back for sure

    Taro tea with kiwi popping bubbles and strawberry tea with strawberry popping bubbles.

    Sushi was at best mediocre, tempura shrimp was NOT a tempura batter. Way overpriced for the quality.

    Wanting to have some authentic Japanese food and the path took us to Yama's Japanese Restaurant…read more It's a barely noticeable hole in the wall in Downtown Morgantown. There's a paid parking lot across the street as well as metered parking on High Street. Their awning has seen better days but after walking up a small flight of stairs, you enter a cozy restaurant and greeted by its staff. There's about 8 tables for seating and the walls are neatly decorated with Japanese art. The front wall displays photos of their food offerings and made ordering easy. The friendly cashier answered some questions and we placed our order of shoyu ramen, curry rice with chicken katsu, shumai, gyoza, and takoyaki as well as soft drinks. There were several other customers having their meals and more gradually filled the tables as others left. The food was served soon after and looked delicious. They formed a kitty cat with the rice, complete with nori for cat eyes on the curry katsu plate. Nice touch. The curry was very flavorful and just the right consistency and a little spicy which went great with the katsu. Only wish there was more katsu. My buddy's ramen looked fantastic and was told the noodles were delicious in the broth. Found out the noodles aren't made in house but bought from a vendor. The gyoza and shumai were very tasty alone and with its sauce. The takoyaki took some time to cook but was nicely sauced and served. There were sizable chunks of tako inside and was very tasty. The prices are reasonable for a specialty restaurant and the service was great. There's another Japanese restaurant in Morgantown which was very good but Yama's was a little better and I'd return if ever I'm in Morgantown.

    Ate here last week. I got the tempura rice bowl and the California roll. Both were excellent…read more The California roll was much bigger than I expected and it was filling. The service was very fast and I got the food much faster than expected. Highly recommend this place. Will be going back this week.

    I didn't expect to find a sushi spot, much less a decent one, in a West Pennsylvania town called…read moreConnellsville, but here I was spending the night at the nearby Comfort Inn on the Youghiogheny River (that's a mouthful!). When I asked the front desk staff what might be a good place for dinner, she recommended not this spot but the popular restaurant bar next door. Iconoclast that I am, I decided to venture into the cold pitch black and walked about ten minutes. A polite South Asian man greeted me. Seated in the adjacent dining room, I was the only diner until a couple showed up about a half hour later. The menu was robust, and I was hungry after a long drive from Downtown Pittsburgh. First I ordered the $6.50 Agedashi Tofu, which was not the traditional appetizer. It consisted of large wedges of deep-fried tofu covered with bonito shavings and accompanied by tempura sauce (Photo 9). It was pretty good with an emphasis on quantity. Portion was to be a recurring theme as my entree was the abundant $26.95 Sashimi Deluxe consisting of a dozen pieces of fish plus a tuna roll cut into six pieces (Photo 10). It was a decent variety of mostly thick slices of maguro, hamachi, and ebi. No salmon though and there were imitation crab sticks. The tuna roll was rather generic. Again I was impressed more by the quantity than the quality. Certainly plenty of wasabi and ginger. I didn't leave room for the complimentary miso soup (Photo 8) much less any notion of dessert. Their menu expands to poke bowls, yakisoba, and four different ramen bowls. They even offer General Tso's chicken and shrimp. That level of versatility is impressive, but it's been my experience that not everything can be well executed consistently. Regardless, if I was a local resident of Connellsville, I'm sure I'd be here a lot. FOOD - 3 stars...quantity was impressive, quality was variable AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious dining room, not much on decor SERVICE - 4 stars...quite attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...you can have sashimi in Connellsville RELATED - Exploring the Pittsburgh area?

The specials may be a but expensive (16.95), but the regular rolls are great, and its hard to find halfway decent food nowadays for cheap.
