Yama Sushi - Unagi roll, rainbow roll, Vegas roll, executive suite, zen garden roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

The service is unprofessional, rude, embarrassing, and down right ridiculous. I placed a pick up order at 5:20pm, said it would be ready by 5:52pm. I'm convinced they are purposely not giving my husband our order. My husband arrived at 5:40pm and he is STILL sitting there now, 3 hours later waiting for the food, THREE HOURS! He's choosing to wait because he's a good partner, but also to not let them get away with this awful service. I called being nice and calm, just to see what was going on, if we could maybe get a discount, and they said there was nothing they could do. Instead of talking to me they motioned my husband over and GAVE him the phone to talk to me! Which was very disrespectful. My husband also listened to the workers loudly arguing for costumers to hear! Expect long unaccommodating unprofessional service. Never in my life have I EVER been to a restaurant this unprofessional. Especially for just a pick up order! We will never eat here ever again. I wouldn't even recommend Yama sushi to my worst enemy! read more

I went in because of the good reviews. I don't know who they're paying. But they sure as hell didn't earn the reviews. The sushi was mediocre. The miso soup was terrible. And the girl at the front counter was unintelligible. read more

Had the pad Thai chicken. I've had better. Noodles did not taste delicious. Waitress was kind of rude at first. Hardly anyone in there we were the only people there for lunch. You fo get a generous helping. read more

I will not be ordering from here again. The rolls were sloppy and falling apart. It was like a big pile of mush. I couldn't even finish it. it tasted horrible. And being rude to my driver then messing up is unprofessional. read more

This is literally the best sushi in town I've tried them all I am a sushi connoisseur have been for the last 20 years and this makes me feel right at home every single piece is done with love and I can't think these people enough for their nice customer service always going out of their way to make sure you're satisfied. Family-owned and operated and that's what makes it a special place. read more

Great food and no one can't beat the prices. It's better than anywhere else in town. This is always my children's favorite spot to eat.

Got take out for lunch. The portions were very generous! Only $2 for a large piece of sashimi. Friendly and welcoming. read more

Will not be returning. There were no customers when we arrived at 4:40pm. Female snapped to sit anywhere kept rudely telling us they werent serving lunch. Took menus when I was still looking and slammed napkins on the table and told me they weren't serving lunch yet again. I CAN afford dinner prices, thank you. absolutely disgusting behavior read more

Here's a clean, straight-to-the-point Google review in your voice: Yamasushi is seriously one of the most overlooked gems in Grand Junction. The food is always fresh and really good, the prices are more than fair, and the service is consistently great. It's a family-run place and they're genuinely kind people who deserve way more business than they get. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out. Highly recommend. read more

The food here is the best! This is our favorite spot in Grand Junction and make a point to eat there over anywhere else. The service is fast, the employees are sweet, and the ambiance is chill. I have been going for years and Yama is dependably delicious and affordable. read more

Great service! I ordered online and when I went to pick up they offered me free soup. Very friendly staff. Delicious sushi.

The server is decidedly unkind every time we go to eat here. She has a rude tone and speaks to us unprofessionally consistently. we have tried eating here multiple times over the years and she is still here and has made no improvement read more

Ordered egg drop soup and the miso soup. It's in a small portion and over priced for the amount and quality for both. The egg drop soup was alright. The miso soup had way too much sea weed both in about and taste. Would not come here again. read more

Great food and amazing service! This family-run restaurant truly deserves all the support Grand Junction has to offer. The prices are very reasonable, and the menu has a wide variety of delicious options including some of the best sushi on the Western Slope. Don't judge a book by its cover; the inside is beautiful, featuring a lovely fish tank and fresh, modern furniture. Definitely check it out for great food and a great time. read more

I come here often and always have an amazing experience. Wether your dinning in or eating out the food is always hot and fresh. The dine in area is clean and welcoming. The staff is always a joy and the reason I come back. They always take care of me and I appreciate that. read more

I went there for dinner tonight. The hostess was so rude I turned around and left. I would not recommend this place to anyone

I would love to give them 5 stars but I recently had a very poor experience with staff. On August 13th, my best friend had her baby in the morning and she wanted sushi so badly. So I called YAMA around noon to place a pick up order for my boyfriend to pick up and bring to us at the hospital. While I was ordering the guy on the phone was very short and rude with me and hung up the phone before I could even say thank you. Maybe even less than 20 minutes later the guy started calling me OVER AND OVER, BACK TO BACK, AT LEAST 5 TIMES, all while I'm IN A HOSPITAL LABOR AND DELIVERY ROOM trying to help my friend who just had a baby. I was finally able to answer one of the calls and he cut me off as soon as I said "hello" and he said "come get your order" and I was about to say "yeah I know--someone is on their way to get it" but he literally hung up on me AGAIN, so fast that I couldn't even get ONE word out and then he called me twice MORE back to back AND left a voicemail. Totally ridiculous behavior. Mind you-- my boyfriend picked up the order with in 30 minutes of me placing it and it takes at least 20 minutes to get there from our house. It's not like I was being slow to pick it up or something-- my boyfriend was actually pretty fast. THEN I told my boyfriend what happened and how I was treated over the phone before he went in to pick up the order so he wasn't exactly happy going into the restaurant and the lady at the front says to him, "having a rough day??" Lol Like, what?? -- No, we were having a great day actually before we tried to place the simplest order and then got harassed for 20 minutes until we showed up. They didn't even give us utensils or chop sticks. Then she kept trying to get him to take free soup but at that point he just wanted to get our food and get the heck out of there. We want to come back bc the sushi here is the best around, but holy cow-- that experience was so frustrating and so rude honestly. Im not sure if they thought I wasn't going to pay or show up or what but what the actual heck??? It made me not want to deal with them again for awhile. If you place a pick up order make sure you're basically ready to teleport I guess or something to pick it up after the first phone call or else I guess you'll just get called a million times until you show up and get hung up on multiple times. lol read more

The sushi was delicious. I can't wait to go back when I'm in GJ again. We ordered two sushi rolls and it came with miso soup. read more

having lived in the following communities before arriving in Grand Junction ( Chicago .. San Francisco .. SLC .. ) as my wife says: "a FIVE star here in GJ is like a THREE star in San Francisco" .. I'm not a snob .. really LOVE GJ and the community here .. but as a newcomer to the Front Range - it's just that our expectations are a bit different from folks who were born here and grew up here .. The sushi was just OK but the dinner dishes left much to be desired .. The owner was gracious (maybe just a tad bit overbearing) .. but we'll give him time and we will try again in another month or so .. So far - our go to place in GJ for sushi is Suehiro .. that place is creeping up to a FIVE star experience in GJ ... read more

Don't waste your money. Absolutely terrible. The calamari app was 90% batter and like a shoe string of meat. The general Tso's was not spicy, at all. And I ordered it as hot as they allow. The chicken was so overcooked it was like jerky. Fried rice, the shrimp were grainy and flavorless. The beef was rubbery. Also essentially flavorless. Bad deal. Don't go. read more

I have not been there because they never look open. Please make the outside look like it is open.

Sushi was amazing! We ordered late due to a late night at the hospital however the food was still fresh and good! Would come back the next time we are in Colorado. read more

Always good clean food. This is my go to for take out when I just don't have time. A bowl of hot and sour soup with shrimp, Kung pow. Had their green curry chicken and reminisced about the times that I had with Kandice and I. Super friendly staff. read more

So good and so reasonable! We love the owners and the food is always right on point! I cannot say enough good things about Yama!

Stopped in for the first time the other night with my mother who was visiting from out of town who was craving sushi - and we were not disappointed! Everything came out tasty and with great presentation. The owner was very attentive and friendly. Will be back for sure to try their other menu items! read more

Yama Sushi - Smoked salmon, Caterpillar Roll, Cowboy Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Shrimp Asparagus Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Zen Garden Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

great service and super good food, i always have had an amazing experience in this place

Today was the 3rd time I've been to Yama Sushi. As a California transplant from the Bay Area, I miss the sushi. The sushi here is probably the best I've had in the grand valley, and I've been to the more popular places with great disappointment; definitely not worth the hype. The quality, portions and prices are unbeatable! Nancy was absolutely hilarious! It reminds me of the Soup Nazi episode in Seinfeld. Do yourself a favor and give them a try read more

This is the new Zen Garden. They moved down the street and got a bigger place, but the food is mostly the same. Sushi at a reasonable price. Also a selection of Chinese dishes. Definitely a go back to place. read more

Yama Sushi is great. When I was learned how to eat sushi properly, I tried to find a restaurant that had good sushi. I found Zen Gardens and Nancy was patient with showing me the menu and what to order. They have since moved and changed their name to Yama Sushi. They are always friendly there, especially Nancy, Max, Linda. The cooks don't get enough praise. The sushi man is awesome. I love their Crunch roll. This is my favorite and when I come in to order, they know exactly what I want, how I want it and are very friendly. The crunch roll is very, very good. I have been coming back for 10 years getting my food there. Other things on the menu are great too, like the happy family meal and Kung Pou meals. I will always be coming back to Yama Sushi. Don't let the other not so good review discourage you read more

The service was awesome. They were attentive and funny. The food was delicious and some great lunch specials! The building was beautiful on the inside and did not expect it to be looking on the outside. read more

Yama Sushi - Shrimp Tempura Roll and Yellow Island Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

I really wanted to like YAMA Sushi & Asian Fusion, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. The food was just okay--not terrible, but nothing that stood out or made me want to come back. The bigger issue, though, was the service. Our server had a noticeably negative attitude throughout the entire meal. From the moment we sat down, it felt like we were more of an inconvenience than guests. No smiles, no warmth, and barely any interaction beyond the basics. It definitely impacted the overall vibe of the evening. With so many great spots around, I'd likely choose somewhere else next time.I'm read more

Our server mad the entire experience incredibly uncomfortable. Throughout our meal she repeatedly came to our table to bad mouth other guest in the restaurant for things such has speaking Russian or for having kids. We also ordered some octopus which was served to us still frozen. read more

Truly one of the wierdest culinary and service experiences I have ever had. "Lemonade" was Mello Yellow (or possibly Mountain Dew) with water in it... server insisted we were going to get soup even after we declined, rushed us to get an order in because "the health department is here and the kitchen will be tied up" then later dumped water all over one of us while stacking plates to clear the table. Ordered a whole bunch of different things to try various parts of the menu - some of it was edible, none of it was worth ordering again. Hate to leave a 1 star but... this is the reason 1 star rating exists and all of the errors (except the apparently cursed location) were completely unforced and within the establishment's control. read more

Ordered a spicy salmon hand roll. Got a sushi roll that was horrible. The shrimp tempura was cold and greasy with a bland dipping sauce.

this place has the best service and amazing high quality food. I usually go for lunch and it's nice and quiet. this place should be more popular. the prices are amazing too. I come here every time I visit grand junction. read more
