This is without a doubt my favorite sushi place in Pennsylvania. I've come here every year for my birthday (and family's!) and have tried almost every roll of theirs. I've never had one I haven't loved. The servers are great, too. They check up on you often and give quick service. The place is clean inside and overall just a chill place to go with friends. I can't recommend Yama enough. No place in Pittsburgh has compared so far. Definitely worth the drive to Seven Fields! read more

WOW! What a good little gem in Mars! Pricing is great, no alcohol but you CMS byob if you'd like. Service was so quick and sushi came out fast, and the quaint spot was cozy inside. PLENTY of options... all the ones we tried were great but shrimp tempura was my fav! read more

Thought this was closer than the one in Carnegie so we wanted to try it. Just wow to the original interior that went in back in the seventies or was it the 60s I mean nothing has changed inside of here. It was a very long wait but when we finally got it it was actually fresh out of the fryer so it was good. The chicken was really good the fish my wife said was good and the shrimp was really good all battered. When I walked in seeing how old the interior still was I kind of figured they might actually have the chicken peg legs but to my dismay they did not. Anybody else remember those they were really good. read more

We got bento boxes. 5/5 Great variety of their dishes- was like having 6 courses! California roll, fried Goyza, fried shumai, tempura shrimp and tempura vegetables and teriyaki chicken and rice. One of us had miso soup. The other person had the clear soup. The California roll was ok. But who knew that you could tempura broccoli?!! Fried vegetables!? Yum! Yes please! And who knew you could fry shumai?? I'll have more of that also! We really enjoyed the visit. I thought Japanese food was all healthy. This was crazy to me. But quite enjoyable. It's almost subversive to deep fry vegetables and shumai! Server was very nice and checked on us but did not rush us. The booth was cozy. Dark wood. We liked the atmosphere. The restaurant seems clean. We liked the decor in the entry way with the waterfall and plants. We will definitely be back. 5/5 experience. Highly recommend. read more

I've been there twice already in the span of a couple of weeks and for good reason. The sushi is delicious, brown rice options for everything, and the Boba tastes fresh and with fresh tapioca pearls not like some places where it seems the stuff is left over. The waitress I had both times was very nice and hospitable. You really feel welcome there and the general vibe of the restaurant is very comforting and traditional. read more

Meh. We tried Yama Sushi based on the Yelp rating, but I don't think it deserves 4.5 stars. The place is dark and in desperate need of a refresh, and could use a good cleaning. The food was adequate, but not great. We had gyoza and four different rolls, and everything was pretty basic and bland. Not awful, but we're not planning to go back. read more

Fresh excellent sushi and Japanese cruisine . Always good. Has stood the test of time where restaurants come and go in Cranberry. BYOB, so bill is half of most restaurant's . read more

The food is delicious and I've had several selections. Tons of sushi to choose from. I love the Udon noodles and hibachi dishes. The ambiance is as expected and it's very clean. Service is spot on and quick. The green tea is delicious. read more

This is a fantastic spot for sushi. Our server was sweet and full of energy, and the sushi itself was amazing. My only complaint? I got too full to try the other menu items that looked just as delicious, guess that just means I'll have to come back again. read more

Service and ambiance is fine. I've had sushi there before about a year ago and it was good. I went today and the place reeked of fish, sushi should never smell. My daughter's hibachi of shrimp and lo mein was not edible. Unfortunately. Did not receive a refund. read more

This is a pleasant and relaxed sushi restaurant to have a nice dinner at. Me and my Bf enjoyed the sushi rolls and the bubble tea I had was super tasty. read more

Ordered from Yama this week in honor of my wife and my anniversary. Yama isn't doing eat-in yet so we celebrated at home, but still tried to make a night of it by testing out the #2 love boat that comes with 3 different rolls as well as a sampling of 8 different sushi pieces. It was a lot of food but we also ordered a side of vegetable tempura for good measure! The chef needed about 25 minutes to prepare everything so I'm glad we called ahead. Total bonus, but as we pulled up the food was just coming out of the kitchen--perfect timing! The vegetable tempura was pretty good, but with our 15 minute drive back the food got a little cold (obviously no fault of Yama's). The sushi was varied and interesting! I wish there was a chest sheet to refer to what we were eating, but for the most part everything was really good! There were one or two sushi pieces that tasted a little more fishy than I would've liked, but who am I to judge Mother Nature's creations? All in all great experience and a nice way to celebrate an anniversary amidst COVID restrictions. read more

Yama Sushi - Love Boat #2 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mars, Pennsylvania

Yama Sushi is the closest sushi restaurant to our house. They seem to get both decent takeout and dine-in business. I always orders the sushi meal that gives you nigiri and a maki roll wherever I get sushi. I ordered the 8 pc combo here. The sushi and ginger dressing salad were good. It's about what you expect from your local strip mall sushi in the suburbs. I'd definitely return and I saw they have a $3 cork fee which is nice since they don't serve alcohol. The kids enjoyed the ice cream sandwich. read more

Food: Surprisingly good! We ordered a variety of sorts...around 4-5 dishes. And must say, food is delicious! Service: Excellent! They checked up on us often and we never had a problem getting their attention. Parking: from what I remember, there were plenty of parking. In fact, we parked right in the front. read more

Popped in here because of the solid overall rating. Will not be back. Service was okay. We got the assorted tempura and spicy Kano salad to start. Tempura was bland, but pretty good. Kano salad was fishy. We got 4 rolls. The #29 Green Sleeve was very good, spicy and fresh. The #1 Godzilla roll was okay as well. However, Volcano and Mars rolls were room temperature and sour. Unacceptable for a sushi restaurant. My wife sent back both of her rolls and the staff asked if everything was okay and we explained that two of the rolls were not good, they didn't offer to replace. Beware. read more

Good service and great food. Their portions are plentiful and the taste was great! The cooked options were great too! read more

After trying a lot of different places since moving out here, I think I finally found my favorite sushi spot. We made it just in time to catch the end of the lunch special deals even though we ended up trying more from the appetizer side lol. The ambiance and atmosphere is nice and quiet and the trickling glass waterfall is very soothing. I selected the 3 sushi roll combo and had the spicy tuna, eel avocado, and salmon and avocado rolls. I love that they give a good amount of ginger because a lot of other places I've tried have skimped out on that. We totally forgot to take a picture of the Godzilla roll my partner ordered but hands down it's the best one we've ever had. He also tried the katsu don which he said tasted really good but didn't have enough meat in proportion to the rice they gave along with it. The gyoza was good (hard to say it's the best I've had since I miss my dumpling spots of NYC) but we still very much enjoyed them. The soft shell crab and Surume lka were also very yummy and will be repeat options to order in the future. We look forward to coming back and trying other things off their menu. read more

Went here for the lunch special and wasn't disappointed! I got the sushi combination with my choice of three types of rolls and clear soup. I also added the spicy Kani salad which was awesome. My fiancé had the steak and shrimp hibachi lunch which also came with soup. Next time I think I'd try a bento box! Decent prices, huge menu and super fresh ingredients! read more

The food was good, but not outstanding. I got Box A for dinner to go (more on that in a moment). The soup was OK. The tempura, while hot, was not seasoned well, so it was bland. The sushi/sashimi was fine. The salmon was soaked in a thick sauce. It didn't taste fresh and the sauce dud it no favors. The restaurant does not serve alcohol, which I saw as a ding with sushi. I got it to go so I could drink beer with dinner. read more

Had hibachi shrimp, rice, veggies, salad and soup. Rice, salad and veggies were good. But the shrimp didn't have a good flavor and the soup wasn't my taste. Service was fine and restaurant seemed to be clean. Had a steady flow of customers. read more

The woman hostess/waitress/owner was very impolite, never greets me upon arrival (keep in mind this is my third visit here) and had a nonchalant, unwelcoming attitude towards me as a patron and made me feel as though I was in a racist polluted environment due to the occasional awkward stares and the lack of attentiveness I received compared to the other surrounding tables. I noticed several time this woman purposely ignore and skipped past my table to ensure whether the other guest were ok or if they needed anything else. Adjacent to that, I do want to acknowledge my main waiter that was honestly polite and was really accommodating in delivering me an exceptional service -which was inevitably camouflage by this hostess-waitress-owner's condescending and distasteful vibration. After noticing the differential in treatment that made me significantly undervalued as a customer, I'll vow to never subject myself to this mediocre establishment ever again! This weird nature of going out of your way to make guest feel uncomfortable as a person of color is just very low and people like yourself shouldn't be in the customer service realm or restaurant industry to purposefully patronize guest. read more

Everything I was hoping for and more. My husband and I shared the sushi for two love boat dinner for our fifth anniversary. We also got a tempura appetizer that was amazing, as always. It had a couple shrimp and several vegetables to share. The sushi for two dinner had so much variety and was beautiful to look at too! So much food. We had purchased a dessert elsewhere and we were so full we couldn't even eat it. read more

This little gem is very popular and for good reason. Their sushi is delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. The environment is seemingly low key, but it's always a good sign to see the restaurant very popular among locals who could easily go a greater distance for a larger restaurant. It's close to my small town and as a Sushi lover for many years, Yama Sushi is a great choice! read more

Our favorite sushi in Mars! Definitely worth the drive. BYOB so you can enjoy your own drinks with your favorite sushi.

Out of all the sushi I have had in Pittsburgh and the surrounding metro areas, Yama still holds the gold standard when it comes to sushi. Here is why: -Rice: it had the ideal amount of moisture and texture. Not too soggy, not too dry. -Fish: never a fishy taste and fresh. -Service: Friendly staff ever visit. -Open later: Most nights are 10 closing so I can drop by after a long day of work and stil have a great meal. -Reasonably priced for quality. They also have happy hour too if you are looking for value as well. Not much more you can ask for, right? read more

As an update - still literally the best sushi in Pittsburgh. We came from NY and it's actually better than most sushi spots in NYC too. Super fresh, fast, and absolutely delicious. Our favorite restaurant after going there all the time for years. read more

My wife and I love this place. After 15 years of New York sushi we were worried we'd miss the good stuff, but every single time we've gone here or ordered takeout we've been super happy with the food. This is after 15+ visits. We don't need the hostess to be super friendly or require perfection from the server, just polite timely service and great food. Yama accomplishes this. read more

Such great service and food! I had no idea that this plaza even existed until today. Come here for yams sushi, come here for one of the other places in the plaza. Happy I just happened by and found the spot! Yama Sushi, outstanding! Great food and great service at a very good price!!! read more

Reasonably priced small sushi spot! The place is clean and quaint. Sushi is made fresh at the bar and very yummy! Today I have their lunch combo 3 rolls for 12$ which comes with soup or salad. I also ordered green tea and edemame. Everything was served very quickly. The wait staff is kind and friendly and refills were brought without my having to ask. There is plenty of parking - as this is situated right off of 228 in a plaza in seven fields. Excellent location for a quick lunch or light dinner. read more

Very attentive and friendly. Everyone working had visited our table either to take our order, fill our drinks and clear out plates. We always take our time when we eat sushi, we typically order a kani salad first and then a few rolls. On this occasion we had the spicy kani salad it was very tasty, if you like a kani salad with lots of crab it had plenty. I was almost missing the cucumbers but my boyfriend loved the ration of crab to cucumber. The peppered tuna was served with a sweeter ponzu sauce that we both liked. Typically we don't get dessert but we ordered a chestnut cake. It was very tasty but I was still craving something so I ordered my go to , a taro tea. I have to say they have really good pearls here, they have a sweet syrup that I really do enjoy. Thanks to everyone it was so good tonight !! read more
