This was a much better sushi/Japanese restaurant than in my home town, is the desert. Dinner with Tomodachi's Caroleann, her husband Ro, and Heather. I had the Forrest Gump which was spicy and flavorful. It came with fried onions on the side which I didn't expect. The roll was topped with very thinly sliced purple or red onions, jalapeños, and a few dots of a red hot sauce. I would definitely order this again. Ro ordered two rolls for the table to share. All 3 rolls were bigger than I'm used to being served. The other ladies ordered yakisoba and Ro had the Fallbrook Flower. We sampled the Mochi ice cream and the plum wine ice cream. The owner Steve came out and talked with us and joked around. I can not give this place a better rating. There is no trim for improvement. It was super fresh and great prices. read more

Sushi is fresh and the service is awesome. Tgis place is a gem in this city. Highly recommended.

I was so excited to see a sushi restaurant in Fallbrook and went one day during my lunch hour. They are very friendly and answered my questions but when I got my food the Sushi was just ok and overpriced. read more

A superb sushi experience. The service is superb, the food is great. It's wonderful that a little town has such a great sushi restaurant.

Who knew there was sushi in Fallbrook! It is a small place but everyone is super friendly. The new owners are warm, welcoming and the sushi is amazing! The fish is fresh and has great flavor. The eel sauce is a little different than I'm used to but still good. We tried a bit of everything but the favorites were the Dos Amigos roll and the Golden Tiger roll. Next time I'm up and want sushi I'll be back! read more

I love this place. Thank GOD the only sushi place in town is a GOOD one! Steven-san and Yama-san are very friendly but not overly so...meaning if you wanna chill and read or listen to an audiobook, they will leave you be, but still very attentive. If you're in a mood to chat, Steven's great! Wish I could afford to go there a couple times a week! read more

My boyfriend said this was the best sushi he has ever had. Everything was very fresh and delicious! Highly recommended.

I went in for lunch today and I was blown away with how good the sushi is. I had the forest gump roll and the spicy tuna rainbow roll. The forest gump roll was hands down the best roll I have EVER had! The flavors were so perfectly married, the freshness of the fish and the amount of heat from the jalapeños was perfect. I am so happy this is so close to home! I will be back. read more

This was the first restaurant I stopped into when I moved into the area, and I have been back multiple times since! The service is fast and friendly, the prices are reasonable, and I've never ordered something that turned out to be a disappointment. Go ahead and give their specialty rolls a try, and be sure to order some baked mussels! read more

Only place I eat out regularly in fallbrook. Amazing sushi! Great staff and service. Love spending special occasions there.

Read other reviews and went there based off comments. Went there twice in a year and had the same experience both times. Positives: Chefs and service was really good. Sushi is fresh. Negatives: Price was out of control. Actually left restaurant hungry and took wife across the street to buy chicken mcnuggets. They're are many sushi res in temecula and murrieta that offer all you can eat or half off drinks or sushi that has equal or better quality sushi. The place is rather small and it seemed to have more staff then customers. Bottom line: your paying too much for something you can get 13 miles away. read more

Since the new ownership, Yama's has great customer service. It's nice to walk in and be remembered and appreciated. The sushi is no longer just the best in Fallbrook, but now it's the best around...period. the salmon is amazing! I have yet to be disappointed with a roll. --- now I want sushi!!!! read more

Yama!!!!! I remember when we first moved here and the idea of having a sushi place in town didn't make sense to me. I'm a little bit picky with my sushi since I lived in Japan for 2 years...let me tell you, Yama is the place! I try to stop in at least once a month to give my mouth some excitement because their food is fantastic! On top of it all, the moment I walk in EVERYONE says hi and they all know my name. I love this place, Im a big fan and I will always tell everyone I meet that if they want to eat some quality food in a great place then they have to swing in and visit Yama Sushi! read more

Our favorite sushi joint in Fallbrook. Very friendly staff, fresh fish, large portions , and reasonable prices. Large selection of hot and cold rolls. Always have new specials. Teriyaki chicken is excellent as well. Better than many sushi restaurants in the big city. Try the cold saki in the blue bottle. Highly recommend. read more

I love this place! The sushi is always fresh and tasty. We have the best time here. Plus, the staff is so nice. Especially the sushi chefs. My favorite is the spider roll and the tuna nigiri. read more

Great service, always welcoming. The rolls are unique and tasty. Love the tempura vegetables and shrimp. Special is a good price for the amount of food. read more

This place is honestly the best. From the service (hilarious and sweet chefs/waitress), to the freshness of the fish, and the quality of the food overall. This place has it. Prices are average but well worth it. Also they give military discount! Check this place out if you're in the Fallbrook area, you won't regret it! read more

Very pricey for the quality of sushi you get,13 bucks for a roll. Rice, the most important part of sushi, was way overcooked and mushy, sushi fell apart when you grabbed it, rice chunks fell orr, much like grocery store or food court sushi. There was no fish just prawn in the crunchy roll, and when I bit into the roll halfway kept crunching on something extremely crunchy, not panako and not shrimp, dunno but had to spit it out. The wasabi is squeezed out of a tube and the ginger is pink, I prefer it without food coloring. Their yakisoba has a different taste to it, dry with no sweetness, less noodle more cabbage and what seemed like fried flour bits in it, strange, had to add sauce to it. Service is decent, we had two waitresses one was happy the other seemed stressed and annoyed. Picture of restaurant on yelp does not match actual building. Tummy made shakey, scarey rumbling noises when I got home and so did my hubbys! Oh no! read more

Best sushi ever. . Featured dishes: No Name Roll, Shrimp, Shrimp, Hot Sake. Sushi lovers will fall in love with the menu at Yama Restaurant, a Japanese restaurant right in the heart of Fallbrook. read more

Still love this place. Always good, constant and nice local people. I highly recommend yamma.

Great place, fun people. Food is fresh and everyone is welcoming. Both me and my wife would recommend. We go there at least once per week and we always enjoy our experience. read more

We love going to Yama's for dinner, Even the take out is great. The staff are all super friendly and caring, Food is so yummy!!

Made me buy a 15 dollar roll just to use the bathroom oh and it took 20 mins to come out.

After a long move (time wise, not distance) from Escondido to Fallbrook we decided we deserved some sushi for dinner. My boyfriend and I have been regulars of Sushi Yama in Escondido for awhile so we figured why not try Yama Sushi in our "new town". The sushi was delish, we each got an order of salmon and tuna nigiri which was very fresh and smooth as silk. We also ordered a couple rolls and the sushi burrito which I highly recommend! I only knocked a star because this place is pretty expensive! I'm used to having to charge more for good quality sushi but even for basic rolls it was a bit over the top. But if you're in Fallbrook and don't have too many other options I would definitely check this place out! read more

This place is a real treasure. The guys are super friendly and make some mean sushi! read more

Great food!!!!! You may have to wait for a seat because it is a small restaurant, although WORTH THE WAIT! Service is awesome! Employees are great!and the sushi is even better! We love the spicy ones! Price is average for sushi places. read more

Food is great, can't complain. But it's also pricey. Sushi chefs and staff are attentive yet they keep to themselves just like many of the customers. If you like that, it's a great place for you, if you like a poppin' sushi place, you gotta go out of town, just sayin. read more

It was hard for me to believe Fallbrook has a great sushi bar so I tried them and it was awesome!

we had a blast at our local sushi place tonight check out the fun video! made new local friends and love their new menu and food read more

Yama Sushi Restaurant - Uni sashimi & fresh wasabi! they've stepped up their game! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fallbrook, California

I've eaten here many times and I'll keep coming back. They have really good sushi, but my personal favorite is the udon. Any time we need a quick last minute dinner we order take out udon, sometimes with a roll, and it's always good. read more

If you love sushi and you appreciate great service, than Yama Sushi is the place to go. We usually get take-out and everything is fresh. This has been our go-to place when we do take-out. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Maybe coming from Japan my expectations were too high but we came in, no one sat us down. Not sure if we were suppose to walk in and sit? Anyhow attention was all on a birthday party of over 20 people that were there. Rolls were subpar for the price... Asked for my stuff to go because it was so noisy there and after 10 mins of waiting to get it back I just left. Not sure if I'll be coming back. This place was just dingy. Idk probably worst place to eat ever and I'm a foodie I love eating at different places. read more

When eating there I found a bone in my sushi and the owner handled it so poorly. I had been a regular great customer for years and wont go back. He offered me a free soda after interrogation which bute if the roll i found the bone??? Never in my 40 years eating sushi have I encountered a bone so tacky again lost a good customer read more

Kitchen chef from Yama does not know how to make stir fried udon noodles. So that being said, we will not be back.

Freshest, cleanest food in Fallbrook. No Sysco food here! They close Sundays because the fish market is closed Sunday. Great ambiance, very friendly staff, clean and delicious. One of 4 places in town that do not serve Sysco (mass produced) foods. Lifelong resident. Ask about the fresh wasabi! read more

This place NEVER disappoints! Awesome costumer service, you're greeted by every staff member when you walk in or out! The staff is super friendly & know most regulars by name. Amazing sushi, and teriyaki dishes. Reasonably priced! Deffinetly our go to spot! read more

My husband and I love Yama! The owner Hank, the other sushi chefs and their waiter staff are all very friendly and helpful. The food is AMAZING! Their fish is always fresh. We've eaten at many sushi bars, and are always stuffed and happy after we leave Yama. It's no more expensive than any other sushi bar. They blew Young Sushi out of the water, (literally, Young went out of business 6+ months ago). If you're new to Fallbrook, or are just passing through, Yama is the place to go for sushi. No need to venture to Temecula or Oceanside to get quality food and service. read more

The food is good, however the ambience is lacking, along with tables being a bit too close to each other. The older lady/owner is always grumpy, she's always having a bad day--smile already!! read more

The sushi was delicious. Parking and the location was convenient . The food Was fresh and the wait time wasn't long. This place is probably one of the best places I have been too. The ambience is really calm and a really nice place to relax and hang out with friends and family. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Good sushi in Fallbrook would be a dream come true right? When I walked in, it smelled like urine. I STILL, gave the place the benefit of the doubt. So I sat down and ordered from their confusing menu. I happened to look up at the wall in front of me to find what I wanted. The order was done quickly. A star for that. My children shared a bento type meal. Lettuce soaked in an over sweet dressing, over cooked sticky rice, and meat that was on the mealy side and had stewed instead of fried. Was not impressed but they ate it happily. I on the other hand ordered a roll that had way too much going on. I love sushi and have just spent 4 years in Japan scoping their sushi scene. You want to be served good fresh fish you can taste, but I got something that was a pile of heat and none of the flavors could really play through. My mouth is confused and burnt because of the fresh jalapeños on it. I couldn't finish it. And for those two meals it was 30$. Very overpriced for the quality. The other star is for the chef asking me about it. I think he really wanted input on his food, which was cool. read more
