We rely on Yelp when we travel out of California to figure out what is good. Last night we ventured into this place not sure to expect, but open to trying the food anyways. We were told sit where we pleased which was a bit of a challenge with the setting sun on it's way down for the day, but that was soon resolved. Our drink orders were taken pretty quickly and came out pretty fast too. It took us a few minutes to figure out what we wanted because there was such a variety of food to select from. My husband ordered the Boston and Super California rolls, my mother had the Sweet and Sour Chicken, and I had my usual avocado rolls with the A.A.C. roll and some Mushroom Soup. It took a bit for the food to come out, but we were in no rush to go anywhere. The rolls were delicious and the Sweet and Sour chicken came out with the chicken separate from the sauce so you could dip the chicken in the sauce. My Mushroom Soup was hot and savory just the way it should be. The real stellar thing was the service because I accidentally spilled my husband's beer. The lady at the counter replaced the beer no questions asked! I am so grateful for her doing that. In the end I would highly recommend this little jewel if you happen to be passing through the area. They are right off the main road that takes you right by the businesses in the area. If you pull into Shaw's parking lot and look across the way you will see this place too. Do yourself a favor and stop on in! Bon Appetit! read more

Food was good but the server kept yelling at her child (I assumed he was her son) who was sitting quietly and behaving perfectly in the dining area. We were the only people there for most of the visit, and it was extremely uncomfortable because tue child was crying and then she would turn around and be super nice to the customers after yelling at the child, who I'm sure was bored. I understand that small business owners may need to bring their children to work, but this was unprofessional and very disturbing to witness as a patron. I hope this was just an off day and this staff member doesn't routinely behave this way. read more

The food and service were amazing!! The Crab Rangoon is the best I've ever had. We had the Lion King Roll, Crispy Spicy Shrimp Roll, Christmas Roll, California Roll, Super California Roll, pork gyoza, and vegetable fried rice. Not a single bite left because the entire family loved! read more

My gf and I ordered sushi. I have a shellfish allergy and she does not. When we ordered we specifically asked for the sushi to be separated for a food allergy. The young man understood. Food gets delivered and both are together. I call the restaurant and a woman answers. I explain to her that I have a food allergy and made the young man aware. She proceeded to make every excuse, never once offering an apology. They did remake and resent, only after she made it clear we had to send back the sushi we already received. Not that I could eat it, but either way just seemed like a silly request, when you already didnt care enough to be concerned with my food allergy. Not to mention that the nim chow (vegetarian) that we ordered, ended up having added fruit to it without our knowledge as well a sugared syrup (not oil n peanuts it is supposed to be) alleged sauce. I love close to this location and this was not the 1st time here, yet my experience just seems to get worse each time. This will be my last experience. ​ read more

Trying to find great Thai in the area. Decided to go outside the city, and this is by far the worst pad Thai I've ever had... The picture will speak for itself. Green bell peppers? What is the color? The sauces (yum yum & sauce for crab rangoon) also taste strange. Crab rangoons are fair. Definitely won't come back read more

Amazing hole in the wall type feel, the staff is amazing and very accommodating for allergies!! Gluten free options & they even make my order without garlic/onion when I ask! (Very hard to find a restaurant that will make this accommodation for me) Highly recommend you try this small business!!! read more

Finally ordered from here and so glad we did! Their selection is incredible - I was craving hibachi without wanting to go sit in the restaurant. They had exactly what I wanted! Even more amazing was their General Tsao's chicken. My husband is the pickiest when it comes to this dish and he was finally happy to find a place that does it how he likes! Real chicken and fresh vegetables. This will be our new go-to for Asian. read more

Really yummy food tucked away in an unexpected spot. General Tso's chicken & crab rangoon are my weakness and Yama Fuji did not disappoint. I'll be back again & again. read more

I've gotten take out from here couple of times. Food is mostly good, though not consistent. Delivery time usually is around 45 to 60 minutes or so. I've gotten the garlic chicken, beef with broccoli, curry style chicken and kung pao chicken. Even though its mentioned that the garlic and curry style chicken are spicy, it really isn't. Also have gotten the tom yum soup, wanton and hot and sour soup. Tom yum was pretty oily though the other two were pretty good. Also their valentine roll is pretty good. Overall decent spot, wish they were more consistent and had shorter delivery times. read more

Everything was great! Food was nice & warm & I had plenty for 2 1/2 days. Woman doing delivery was very nice! I asked her to knock & leave on porch since I was just finishing up w/ Covid & a sinus infectionCan't wait to try again when my sense of smell & taste are back...hopefully Thx again, Mary Lou Murphy read more

Grabbed takeout for dinner and the food was fresh and packaged well. Hot and spicy seafood soup was the bomb. Grubhub ordering was easy and paid with my card on file, only complaint was the timing kept updating for the order so I had to wait. Will order again though and try some other items! read more

This is my new favorite sushi place! The sushi is fresh and delicious,the service is great and prices are very affordable!

We order take out from them fairly often, all the different sushi and appetizers we've ordered has been delicious. The only issue is the time it takes for the orders to be ready, always plan for more time on top of the estimated pickup time. read more

I was craving sushi really bad one night so I decided to order from here to go. The prices are a little expensive. I ordered a spicy salmon roll, chicken pad tai, and my friend got the sesame chicken. The roll was alright, wasn't rolled right enough (I use to bartender in a Japanese restraint so I know sushi well) the pad Sri was gross, I have no idea why it was orange, and it had a strange taste to it. The sesame chicken was very bland and the rice I didn't care for in the slightest. Maybe if I'm desperate again for sushi I'll try it again but the food isn't worth it at all. Inside the restaurant was odd, there were a few seats but the place doesn't look like anyone dines in at all. read more

Amazing customer service and the food was amazing so 10/10 the food was not a long wait Yama Fuji is a really good food place I recommend so If your near come get it read more

I went into Yama tonight for dinner with one other person. As I walked in I was surprised to see how modern and welcoming the decor was! The sign on the outside of the building leaves something to be desired. In fact - if I was going on just aesthetics, I would have overlooked Yama. My companion suggested this place and I am so glad she did! We were seated immediately and our table and surrounds were extremely clean. Our table was already set and the setting was neat and appropriate. Our server came over right away and offered a drink, I suppose they didn't have any verbal specials because none were offered. Throughout the entire meal our server didn't seem very interested in our table (and the restaurant was not busy). She was flat and gave short answers / very quick to leave the table. She seemed to personally know a patron that was sitting at the bar.. Meh - she was fine.. Now onto the DELICIOUS SUSHI! This was really why this place is getting a 4/5 rating. We ordered a few different things - California Roll, Shrimp Tempura roll, Sweet Potato Tempura roll and The Dancing Tuna Roll. All were fantastic - the favs were the Dancing Tuna and the Shrimp. We also ordered Miso Soup and it was perfect! It was really a top notch sushi experience. We did not order a dessert but I have to say that it was quite the impressive and tempting selection of very decadent desserts! Can't wait to give a few a try! The prices were great as well. The specialty rolls were moderately priced $10-$14 and came with 8 pieces. Most of the other "regular" type rolls were $5-$9 for a 6 piece. The prices were surprising for the quality - which was high. Overall this is a place I would recommend - mainly because the food was really wonderful. Give it a chance! read more

I've eaten here several times but not recently. My go to for Thai hasn't been open for lunch two weeks in a row. So I walked in here on a Sunday at noon. Place was completely empty. Ordered a cold Buddha beer & ordered Thai food to go. The young woman behind the counter was friendly & helpful. I ordered hot & sour soup, pork egg rolls, pad Thai with Shrimp & basil chicken. Everything was delicious & the portions were generous, I will be back soon. read more

I've never been more excited to give 5 stars to a restaurant in all my years. Easily the best sushi I've had in Rhode Island. There are so many reasons why I'm giving them 5 stars: the service, the cleanliness, the decor, and of course the food! The prices are good for the quality of food you get. We ordered the valentine roll, spicy salmon roll, spicy seafood, and spicy scallop rolls. All were fantastic with just the right amount of heat. I probably wouldn't get both the spicy seafood and spicy scallop as they are very similar but highly recommend either. If you are looking for something new to drink try the Japanese Soda! I'm a sucker for anything lycée so that was my favorite kind. I also tried the Strawberry flavor and it was good, not overly sweet. I can't wait to go back! read more

Yama Fuji II - Valentine Roll! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Riverside, Rhode Island

I called in an order for my Aunt today. When she went to pick it up, they couldn't find it. I had to call and tell them what the order was. Upon returning, my Aunt told us she thought the place looked dirty. "Robert Irvine should come and fix that place up." The restaurant is brand new, it should sparkle. The first time I walked in, I was surprised that a restaurant with "hibachi" in its name doesn't have one. They have it on the menu, but they cook it in the kitchen and bring it to you on a plate! No show. I'm putting up a picture of today's take out bonanza. Thai basil chicken wings that were soggy with grease with an inch long feather sticking out of one. I guess it's not turtle, at least. There's beef and broccoli and shrimp fried rice which were both fine, although the others thought the beef had a bit too much wiggle, wiggle! Then there's the sesame chicken. Where to go with that... It's white meat chicken sliced paper thin and deep fried in batter. It's in a sweet and sour sauce that's nice, but they cook it 5 seconds shy of making jerky. I passed out steak knives to cut it and it was still a chore. It's consistently that way and it shouldn't, but it's the best tasting item I've had there. read more

This is by far my favorite place for Asian cuisine The menu is full of delicious appitizers and entres . If you like sushi you'll love yama Fuji. Ambiance is quaint and comforting . The service is polite and quick and I can't say enough about the food. The Thai Pan is my favorite. I call it Yummy Fuji read more

Such great fresh food I still love this Asian cuisine. Consistent and delicious! Sushi is very good and made fresh!

Got take out thru grub hub tonight from Yama fuji. The Japanese noodles were flavorless and very blah. The sushi was okay and egg rolls lacked ingredients. Food was just very blah not much flavor and with the fairly high price compared to other restaurants in the area of this type I would not reccomend yama fuji. read more

Unless you like to wait over an hour for your food that was promised in 30 mins, then bring your business elsewhere. Also they don't update their menus and are often "out of that particular item". read more

It is very rare that I give a place five stars, but let me say this is by far the best Asian food I have ever had. everything was super fresh from the meats to the flavors. the prices are the same as all the other local places, but this pace blows everyone else away. read more

We don't have much of a variety of Thai food in EP, so I tried this based on most Yelp reviews. It was delicious! My sushi was very fresh and I order a variety of different items. My shrimp pad Thai was so good! My husband who orders Chinese frequently, loved the sesame chx and he is picky! I'm so excited I discovered this around the corner of my house! I will be ordering here weekly! read more

The beef teriyaki isn't your typical. It was short & thick. Crab rangoons were ok. Just not my flavor. The lo mein, sesame chicken & fried rice were delicious. The Thai fresh summer roll was amazing. Can't wait to explore more from their menu. read more

I hate having to slam a business, but Yama Fuji 2 is not worth your money or your time. I too am from California and I found the previous yelper's review down below a complete OPPOSITE from my experience. So buckle up and prepare for takeoff: We went into the building in the late afternoon and found there to be no one in there. We didn't think this was a bad sign as we were right in that pocket between lunch and dinner services. RED FLAG #1 We like to sit at the bar when we go out for sushi. This allows us to connect with our chef and find out what they like to make or what they recommend as we are usually game for just about anything. When we were directed to a booth and then asked to sit at the bar, the owner/host/waitress wasn't sure what to do. When we walked in deeper we found that the bar counter was a dumping ground for supplies, menus, and other items that hadn't been properly put away. UH OH. Needless to say the woman was quick to move stuff out of the way and we sat down. From there is only got worse. The place seemed to be getting a lot of phone orders as the woman went to be on the phone for at least 10 minutes taking orders. That wouldn't normally have been a problem except the chef was nowhere to be found (he must have been on break). RED FLAG #2 When the chef returned he instantly got into his backed up order of food and began preparing sushi. He didn't once look up to the couple sitting 2 feet in front of him. No acknowledgment whatsoever. I'm not looking for you to strike a conversation, but we weren't sitting there to study your craft sir. Another woman entered the establishment and she seemed to be the delivery driver for the place. She was actually the first to notice us and asked us if we needed water. We said that would be great and she took care of us. A solo patron entered and slipped into the booth. In between calls the owner, went over with water and a glass of wine without ordering so I assumed she was a regular. RED FLAG #3 After having waited about 20-25 minutes to order, I finally cleared up my throat to ask the chef what we would like which is the STANDARD PROCEDURE when you are at the bar. He kindly asked me to wait and after 5 more minutes had the owner come over to take our order. Keep in mind our order was 2 types of sushi and one cut roll. That's it. The driver also made a delivery and returned in between us getting our water. RED FLAG #4 You guessed it, the regular got their food first by a solid 10 minutes. To be fair, I don't know if she ordered a head because she knew how this place operated, but she was dining well before we got our 3 items. The food itself was not very distinguishing. The fish wasn't the freshest it could be and one of the selections had a hint of being frozen too long based on the texture. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever had, but it wasn't the best either. We finished our small meal quietly and quickly and then the craziest thing happened. RED FLAG #5 We looked up and I saw the most amazing thing. Something I have never seen in my life. All three of the staff were standing side by side glued to the their cell phones. It was so strange to see I thought maybe some world event had happened and when I nudged my girlfriend to stare at them we just looked on in curiousness. We waited over 10 minutes and not one of them looked up to even check in on their three customers in the building. We were giggling to ourselves that this couldn't possibly be happening. Finally, I asked for the check and we blew that popsicle stand and haven't been back there since. I was hesitant to write this review and thought I'd give it another chance, but I found a better sushi place in town and don't need to ever look back on this poor excuse of an operations. read more

Sure, five stars for a shopping plaza sushi joint may seem suspect, but hear me out... I've been coming here regularly for almost 3 years and in that time I've never left dissatisfied. As a disclaimer, I usually only get sushi/sashimi but the hot entrees from the kitchen that I have tried have all been great. The menu offers all the requisite American sushi favorites, prices are great and service is always friendly. That last one is important because I think sometimes customers confuse a language barrier as bad service. That is not the case; speak slower, repeat yourself, do whatever you have to do but honestly, these people just want you to be happy customers, promise. Now, here I am on a Friday night having had such a great time at Yamafuji that I felt it was important that I update my review immediately. Here's the run down: My husband suggested we come here for sushi but I insisted we go to "that other place" over yonder in Barrington. He relented, we show up at "that other place", get a table and wait....and wait....and wait. Patrons are complaining, the takeout line is 15 people deep and things went down hill real fast. So, we cut our losses, paid for the appetizer we managed to get and headed to Yamafuji a mere 4 miles away which turned out to be a saving grace. Smiling, friendly service; we were seated immediately, the sushi chef chatted us up and proceeded to prepare the most beautiful sushi display for us. Surprisingly, we were presented with a post-sushi snack of salmon stuffed tempura jalapenos, gratis and yet even more, to top off the meal they served us a frozen pineapple filled with refreshing sorbet again, gratis. I realize this sounds like I'm trying to fluff up my experience but I swear it's exactly how things went. I even joked with my husband before we even got the stuffed peppers or ice cream, that he must have called them and told them he had to prove me wrong since I originally didn't want to go here. So, I'm going to skip "that other place" from now on, and head straight to Yamafuji for my sushi fix and you should, too. read more

Yama Fuji II - Sushi & Sashimi Dinner Combo - it even had colored lights underneath! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Riverside, Rhode Island

I have eaten take out sushi 3 times already and expect I'll be a regular. I'm not a fan of their version of spicy tuna roll but everything else has been great. They have a terrific $11 lunch special, 3 rolls (15pcs). Basic type rolls but quite good. Their fancy options really are terrific and are around $12-$13. So it's about right for the area. I haven't tried any of the other dinner options. For those that are passing through, I have tried the place in Barrington as well as the Chinese place up the road that also offers sushi and this is the winner hands down. The interior is a little sparse since they just opened, but it is more put together each time I stop by. Last time the bar had beer and wine on display, so that's a plus. Overall, I'm super pleased to have this joint in my neighborhood. read more

We arrived with a screaming child and left with a happy child. The staff was friendly and unperturbed by the initial (short lived) meltdown. They immediately brought us a free appetizer and children's chopsticks. The food was excellent. The prices were reasonable. This was the fist time I've checked the place out at dinner time. I have been there for lunch at off hours and have always found the food to be fresh and made to order. I will be back! read more

This is the diamond in the rough of Riverside. (Sorry China Gourmet, you've officially been trumped.) So far we've dined in and had delivery, and we've tried sushi and meals and have yet to be let down. Their sushi is fresh and presented nicely, their portions on the meals are huge and full of flavor, and the staff are all friendly. It's our goal to try everything on the menu since they have an extensive sushi and food menu that extends beyond the typical "Ameri-Japanese" restaurants in the area. (to name a few: Tako Su, king crab sandwich, duck scallion pancake, beef negimaki... etc etc) The only reason for the four stars is because I like my booze and they only serve wine and beer (and a few flavors of sake!). I would love a martini with my sushi. Also, their rolls come in a set of 6 instead of the set of 8 like many of the sushi places in the area. That beyond said, the quality is far superior. read more

I genuinely love this restaurant it is so close to my house, the people are always nice and I absolutely love their food. I go here at least once, if not twice a week to get sushi or take my whole family out. The fish is fresh and sushi is good. I strongly recommend if you are looking for lunch! read more

The food here is amazing. The first time I came here I was so amazed with the quality Of their food. Their service is also top notch I took my girlfriend here hoping that she would like it, cause she's very picky when it comes to Asian cuisine and she was surprised how good their food was and the quality of their plating. I would recommend this to anyone who likes asian food and sushi. This is now a place I come to often. read more

Yama Fuji II - Awesome sauce for salmon teriyaki. Good spider roll! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Riverside, Rhode Island

Stopped by here for a healthy lunch. Ended up getting Miso Soup, Edamame, and a 3 Roll Combination (Spicy Tuna, Spicy Yellowtail, and Spicy Kani). The Miso Soup came out first and was pretty decent - finished it quickly. The Edamame took a while and came out warm and salted. Its a bit expensive at about 5$ but they give you a lot. Snacked on it throughout my lunch. The 3 roll combination was 18 pieces total and served with a little bit of pickled ginger (not food coloured) and some green wasabi. I was impressed with the amount of fish compared to rice, awesome! Service-wise, its OK but its not the best. The interior will remind you of chinese takeout. If you want the atmosphere, go to Ichigo Ichie. If you want more fish, come here. Total bill was just a bit over 18$ and I was full but not bloated. I would recommend this place for lunch for sure. There were definitely more people doing takeout than eating inside. read more

I have been here a few times and I'm a fan. Their sushi is completely unique. Very creative and fun. Their thai basil fried rice is amazing. I'm glad they are local. read more

Ordered the pad Thai and sesame chicken as lunch specials. They were quick and food was hot. Also came with mushroom soup. Soup was delicious. Sesame chicken was good (not the best but a 4/5). Portion was generous. Pad Thai was a different story. Came with an enormous serving of fried rice as the base with Pad Thai on top. Weird combo. The pad Thai itself was meh. Bland and mushy. Would perhaps stick to traditional Chinese options next time. read more

Awesome Sushi, and generous hosts. That's Yamafuji for you. I tried their Thai Noodles with shrimp. Shrimp was well cooked and the dish was spicy, as it should be. Sushi appetizer had six samples of salmon, tuna, bass etc. and was fresh as well as tasty. I am a little apprehensive to raw or semi cooked fish because if it is not fresh then it may have a slight stink, which is a big turn off. But fortunately nothing of that sort happened. I would say worth a try for Sushi enthusiasts, and fans of asian food (other than cheap loaded chinese buffets all over Providence). read more

Yama Fuji II - Asian Fusion Near Me - Riverside, Rhode Island

This restaurant recently opened in my neighborhood. After a crazy work day and a softball game, my fiancé and I were looking to grab a nice meal together. It is important to note that he is very picky. I suggested we try it, knowing that he does like hibachi chicken. Wow! We were so happy with our experience here and the meal. I've had sushi all over the world and I am a stickler for fish freshness. I enjoyed some of the best Yellowtail Sashimi that I have had anywhere, including Hawaii. My hibachi steak and shrimp was cooked to perfection and very tender. The fried rice was so light and not sticky at all. My fiancé... hasn't stopped talking about it yet. He wants our next family function dinner to be here and has already put the word out to my family. I was really looking forward to my leftovers...until my daughter discovered that we had gone without her. I offered her my leftovers last night and she, like us, could not stop raving about how delicious it was. We are all looking forward to becoming "regulars" here. read more
