    Miso Soup
    Blythe S.

    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.

    Me and my best friend went here, it was her first time having boba, and it was my like 6th time cause I'm obsessed lol. She got the strawberry tea with strawberry popping bubbles, and I got the taro tea with kiwi bubbles. And let me tell you it's amazing. She loves the boba. This place is top tier and they are very fast working.

    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.

    The food is always amazing. I've never had a bad meal or a bad experience at yama's…read more The staff is always energetic and as quick as can be with your order. They're a small place maybe 20 or so seats. So sometimes you have to wait to order be seated and get your order. Lunch time seems to be alot easier to accommodate people who don't have patience. Personally I've eaten quite a few things on the menu. I enjoy the shoyu Ramen the shrimp shumei the gyoza. I've had the takoyaki a few times as well as the spicy tuna roll. Portions are good price is good and the staff is awesome. The decoration inside makes me think that that is what a japanese family type restaurant would look like in japan. Many light novels and manga on the book shelves to peruse through (all in japanese of course) which incidently your read from back to front right page to left page incase anyone wants to look at them. Can't recommend yama enough.

This adds a personal touch to our dining experience when one would ask how we are or comment on not seeing us for a while. It shows they are paying attention to their customers rather than just simply doing a job. The atmosphere is great, I love the feel i get when I walk into the establishment, it almost feel like being at home since we're here a lot. I tend to get the Hawaiian roll sushi which is by far some of the best sushi I have gotten anywhere. I am gluten free and the staff there as recommended some alternatives such as rice noodles as opposed to the lo mein which feels great knowing I have more options than just rice every time we go. The food is always great, the staff always friendly.

    Have been here several times since last review, food has been notably better…read more Sushi is on par with the best you'll find in this area. Have had both dine in and takeout. Crunchy 2 in 1 roll is a good tempura roll for takeout. I've had several Chinese dishes that have been quite good, some of the better Chinese food you'll find in this area. I think this is one of those places with so many things on the menu, you have to find what's worth getting vs not the best place for.

    This is a nice looking Restaurant that provides great service…read more We started with the Vietnamese Spring Roll. I thought it was good, but the wife did not like it at all. The biggest issue was the odd texture of the wrap, which was a bit mushy, and did not hold together after one bite. Although we order just a few rolls, it was brought out in an amazing presentation. The spider roll was OK but missing a normal large claw that sick out on two of the roll bites. The Pink Lady Roll was beautiful and had a great flavor. We ordered tea which was served in a very heavy metal pot. The pot kept the tea very hot throughout the entire meal. The best part of the meal was the Peaking Duck. This dish was unlike any Peaking Duck I have had previously. First, the duck is chopped up into very small pieces. Also, instead of normal Duck wraps, the dish was served with Bao Buns, which added a whole over demission and profile to the dish. If I would change anything, I would have taken the skin of the duck before cutting it up that small. You do kind of miss the crunch provided by a normal peaking duck dish. Still, I would call this the best Peaking duck dish we ever had.
