Ordered out for vday and it was such a good decision. Their spot was packed! A friend recommended it to me and I am so glad they did. Yama Sushi has excellent quality and are verrrry generous with their portion sizes. It's been such a long time since I had sushi this fresh and filling. Ranking my faves amongst what I tried: 1. Ocean Roll - 10/10 2. Tiger Roll - 9/10 3. Christmas Tree Roll - 9/10 4. Futo Maki - 9/10 Looking forward to going back for their lunch special! read more

Came here for lunch as a solo date. Inside was really cute and intimate. The servers were nice as well. I personally like when my server doesn't bother me that much when I'm on a solo date so it was nice that they gave me space. I ordered their lunch special with salmon a la carte on the side. They had a different take on the Philly roll which is absolutely loved because i usually have to order it they way they give at other places. Definitely going to be returning. read more

Terrific lunch special. Three of us dropped in for the lunch special. The restaurant is narrow but bright and clean in appearance. Service was fine. All of us went with the lunch special. It came with miso soup, Asian salad and three rolls from a list of 23. (See photo for list) Green tea was extra. Popular at our table were: tuna roll, candy cane roll, crazy volcano roll, spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, and avocado roll. Pretty inexpensive we all thought. read more

Yama Sushi Bar - Sweet Potato Roll and Shrimp Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

New review for Fall 2024. Try the dinosaur egg appetizer, even the pickiest of eaters will love the simplicity of fired shrimp and avocado in a light savory sauce. Next I had the Uni, somewhat rare on availability. Delicious and fresh, you can taste ocean in the creamy smooth texture. I order big, now having the barbecue squid, very tender and cooked perfectly in a sweet and savory sauce. One can taste the caramelization and bbq flavor. The broccoli florets, carrot and onion slivers are a nice compliment. My entree as usual is the Sashimi deluxe. Never disappoints. A tad cool, best to let it warm up a bit to experience the fresh seafood flavors. read more

Four stars for Yama Sushi! I finally came in after months of wanting to try. I came in with a friend on a Thursday night. It was a casual, chill vibe. We ordered Gyoza, Yellowtail w/ Jalapeño, the Phoenix Roll, and the Christmas Tree. It came up to a little less than $50 which was great for two people because we were full. Everything was fresh, but my favorite was the yellowtail with jalapeño. I also love that they start you off with a cucumber salad (it had a little kick to it). I will definitely be back! read more

We ordered a sushi boat. The pieces were decent overall, but some of the sushi were loosely packed and fell apart easily. A few pieces were also cut too large to eat in one bite, so the construction could definitely use some improvement. That said, the service was excellent--our server was kind, respectful, and very attentive. read more

This may be my new go-to sushi restaurant. I really enjoyed how well prepared and fresh the sushi was. Great lunch deals as well. Kind service tops off the experience. read more

Yama has been an old standby for sushi, with especially good grilled eel, and lots of creative rolls. The restaurant feels cozy and inviting to me, and they do a lot with a modest space in a shopping center. read more

We recently ordered from Yama Sushi and it was as yummy as the first time. I never took photos for my last review, so this one comes with some pretty shots - especially the sushi lollipop! I also had to update my review because Yama gave us a piece of cheesecake on the house, which I thought was so nice! read more

Visited Yama Sushi with a group of 9 w/o a reservation. The staff quickly put some tables together for us and we were seated in 2 minutes! As a group 5 of us ate sushi, and 4 ate off the regular menu. All of the rolls were good, a couple were very good - Christmas tree roll (unique twist) and Caterpillar roll......hard to remember all the different names. I would definitely go back! read more

If you love sushi, especially special rolls - this is an excellent place to go to with friends. Order the boats for a good mix of sashimi + rolls for a decent price. I've went a couple of times with the friends I've made in college - and as a sushi enthusiast, this is one of my favorite places to go to near the college campus. If it's one of your birthdays - you may be treated! Service is timely and the people check in with you often. The fish might not be as fresh as the other sushi restaurants that are more local to fresher catches - however the proportions are quite decent. Expect to spend about $10-$15 per person. For special occasions (ordering large dishes and desserts) it may be $20-$30 read more

No stars. I went to go pick up food from here. Waited an hour and 30 minutes the little girl at the front ignored me. Was ignorant and had an attitude. It makes no sense how this establishment treats paying customers like this. AN HOUR! I waited an HOUR!!!! Will never eat here again read more

If you are in the Hampden area and want some really good sushi, Yama Sushi Bar is the place. Please do not let the strip mall exterior deter you away from this place, the sushi and service is excellent. Their menu is pretty extensive with a great variety to choose from. Also they give complimentary samples of sushi and other treats with each visit which is nice, gives you a chance to try something different to order next time. Definitely will return the next time I am in Hampden read more

The food was great overall. The lunch special was the perfect amount of food to hold me over for my lunch break. Service was amazing as well. The employees were very tentative and respectful, and worked diligently to fulfill everyone's orders in a timely manner. read more

Food was great and service was, too. The ambiance is relaxing and has a feel of authenticity. The place was busy on a Saturday lunch, suggesting to me that this is a local favorite. read more

Visiting from Hawaii and found this gem of a sushi bar. The service is fantastic and quick. Sushi is really good. Hamachi was a bit chewy but everything else was exceptional. Unagi sushi was a real standout. Saba and sake/salmon were also very good. On the list for the next visit - tempura and hokkigai and maybe some rolls now that I know the fish quality is great. Overall a great experience. Price is fair. Actually better than a lot of places we frequent back in Honolulu. read more

The sushi was pretty good, although I ordered spicy tuna roll and got a regular one. The shrimp tempura udon was flavorless. Noodles were a little mushy, dunked in liquid when ordering takeout. Too many cooked carrots, 2 pieces of flavorless, puny shrimp tempura. read more

Ordered take-out of the avocado roll, Onigiri, a volcano roll w/ eel (a special), (sliced, rare) tuna salad, and a special cooked roll prepared by the friendly chef. Everything was excellent, and it was fun to poke around the rest of the Asian-market store which features Japanese prepared foods and snacks. Prices range from typical/reasonable to surprisingly modest. Will be back! read more

Food was amazing, as was the presentation! I went for me birthday midday, and it was a very chill and wonderful experience. The only hard part was getting there if you don't have a car, awkward location. Everyone was so kind as well read more

I ordered delivery for lunch yesterday, and this was a real mixed bag. The shrimp and veggie tempura was very good. It even included a mushroom, which was a nice treat, and the dipping sauce was sweet and light. The candy cane roll, which is like a seafood salad inside, topped with shrimp and crab stick, was surprising. However, the spicy salmon roll was pretty bland and disappointing. However, they do have several very reasonable lunch specials, they delivered quickly, and the wasabi was actually spicy. This maybe isn't date night fare,but if you're hungry for sushi and want it fast, this might be the place. read more

An unassuming place in a strip mall that serves up delicious sushi. Supreme Roll-- my favorite, crunchy and flavorful Christmas tree--other favorite, loved the quality and the seaweed salad on top really added to the flavor of the roll Rock and roll--very good Golden lobster--BIG roll, my friend loved this Dragon - okay in terms of all we ordered Fried Scallops - great breading plus we liked the veggies Gyoza--served with 8 of them, great filling, definitely ordering again Cucumber salad--they gave us a small taste of this at the start and it was so yummy! I would order that next time Cheesecake--they also gave us each a different cheesecake bite as the end which was so kind. We really enjoyed them, especially the chocolate chip one! Definitely go here if you are in the area or in Baltimore looking for quality sushi (and have a car)! read more

Always a reliable sushi restaurant to have a quick date, never disappoints. Staff is always nice

Great hidden gem! Love the variety of rolls- it's always a tough decision which one to choose. The service is always excellent.

I love yama! Generally some of the nicest fish, service, and offerings in Baltimore city. Recommended for both solo, date night, or groups of 4-6. read more

Shirley (I believe) had a big attitude and was just staring at us emotionless, thousand yard stare. Sushi was a 4/10

The best sushi place I've tried so far in Baltimore! Was craving sushi, so we went here honestly just by chance as this happened to be the closest sushi location to us. The vibes in this place are fantastic: each table has a few fresh flowers on it, with beautiful lighting and a very cozy overall feel. We were seated right next to the place where the chefs were making the sushi, which also lent itself to the atmosphere. They also have the most adorable cups for tea! The menu is wide, with many options for anyone to be satisfied. There are several diverse appetizers, a la carte sushi options where you can order several sets of 2 rolls/nigiri, as well as traditional rolls, specialty rolls, and several non-sushi options as well. We got the seaweed salad appetizer, the sashimi appetizer, the Yankee deep-fried roll, and fried green tea ice cream for dessert. We found all the options to be extremely affordable and very fairly priced. The sashimi appetizer was a personal stand out to me, as it had a variety of very fresh fish options that our waitress described when she gave us our order. The Yankee roll was also delicious and very filling. The fried green tea ice cream was also a wonderful treat and tasted almost like a matcha funnel cake: I would definitely come back just to have that again! The service was also fantastic: even though we went in at a somewhat crowded time, we never felt we were waiting long for our food or for our orders to be taken. Also took a peek at the lunch menu and deals when we went for dinner--it looks like you can get 3 rolls for under $13--a great deal! Overall would recommend this place to anyone with a sushi craving--this place will deliver! read more

This is going on my list of must-try restaurants for Baltimore. The environment, the food, and the service were all absolutely 10/10. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of fish you're getting. Probably the best sushi I've had in/near Baltimore. If you want sushi, this is the place to get it. They even offer complimentary cucumber salad as an appetizer and cheesecake bites with the bill. I will be coming back again and again and again. read more

A very vibrant environment to say least. I knew I was in for a treat when I saw two people getting into an argument about someone cutting them in line. Everything was honestly so amazing though to the California sushi rolls to the shrimp tempura, which I say was a 10/10. The staff were super helpful, I was with someone who was't really experienced with sushi, and the waitress was explaining the menu really well and led them to Eel Avocado Roll. read more

I live in the neighborhood and probably eat here once a week! They staff is super nice and they usually throw and extra roll you way. My friends like the fancy rolls but I am more of purist! Though the dino egg is to die for! I also really enjoy the Hot sake, Salmon Roe (Ikura), Miso soup, Ninja Roll, Pepper Tuna and most of the Sashimi! And they give you a tiny little cheesecake at the end! read more
