YAMA cleanliness, amazing staff, and delicious food are the few leading reasons why I enjoy returning to this restaurant!!... Compared to some places, my family and I felt Welcomed every time we walked into this restaurant!! Aaron in particular, hasdemonstrated implacable mannerism and professionalism!

Nice little spot. Enjoyed my experience. I was sat at the sushi bar. My sushi and waitress were great. I?d love to come back... and try one of their hibachi or stir fry dishes. Very clean restaurant as well. Read more

I go often, never a bad experience. Staff are very polite and welcoming, food is delicious (especially the sushi). This certain... day, I ordered a magic roll and some teriyaki veggies. I didn?t get a photo of the roll because I immediately ate the sushi????. But these are the veggies. Presentation is also amazing! Read more

Charlie was amazing. The food not so much. The ginger salad dressing was so overwhelming with ginger. Like a lot. The spicy tuna... roll was not really spicy. The cucumber roll was good. The kalbi was very very sweet like teriyaki sauce ( I?ve had this manytimes at other places) the shrimp tempura with veggies was great. Sauce was basically water. Like no flavor at all but was toldthat how it?s made. Miso soup was cold/ warm. Lychee martini was great. Strawberry Mochi was great. Read more

We came here for lunch on a Friday and it was decently busy. They have a patio, but unfortunately, they only put a few tables... out there even though it's mostly empty and there is plenty of space for more. This seems like an odd choice when there is niceweather and there's a pandemic that makes eating outside safer. We ate inside since the few tables outside were full when we gotthere. Three of us split: - Snow Roll - Lobster Roll - Totoro Roll - Naughty Akami Roll I really enjoyed the Lobster Roll andTotoro Roll. The Naughty Akami Roll was pretty good too. The Snow Roll was pretty boring to me. The fish was fresh though. Thesushi rolls were pretty small. If you're looking for a light lunch this would work, but we were all hungry after we left.

Good location with nice interiors and clean service. Waiter/server was little tacit but prompt. Ordered Bento box c but they... don?t allow changes or additions or replacement. That was little bummer and food tasted Okay and could have been better for theprice. Read more

The rating may be too harsh but this is my honest opinion, the food was not good. It almost tasted like something I?d make at... home and fyi, I?m a terrible cook.. I was really disappointed because I had high expectations. Even the drinks tasted cheap. Iwas later informed that the sushi here is really good so maybe I made the wrong choice by selecting a plate.

I was in Shallotte, NC for the weekend with my love. This place was pack by 5:30 pm. The waiting time for the table will be... 25-30 minutes. We decided to sit outside and our orders came fairly quickly. The sushi was AMAZINGLY Fresh!! Every dish thatwe orders were delicious, my love agreed and he hardly agreed with my taste of sushi because he is from Japan ????. It would bemore enjoyable if the owner would install the outdoor fans so we can enjoy the food a bit more. Read more
