Reviews for YamaChen's Sushi in Virginia Beach, VA

This place is amazing. The food was great and everyone was soo nice. I loved all the Geisha dolls that were around the... restaurant. We will definitely be back! Read more

Was really shocked. Food looked good. Until I opened it up and it felt warmer than room temperature. Wasbi was hard and... looked old. Ive had a few friends recommended this place but I?m thinking they owe 20 bucks. However, the young girl wasextremely polite, professional and pleasant to speak with. Thats the only reason why I?m giving them a 2. If it was just forher it was be a 5 star, but the food killed it for me. Read more

Mushy sushi ????, bland taste. First and last time coming here. Our food came out literally 3 min after we ordered it. Food... tasted like it was already made and just sitting. Rice was mushy and not like sticky rice. Fish taste old and not fresh.... Ihave no clue how they can have a 4.4 star review!!! ???? totally not worth the $45 bill. Would have rather ate atMcDonald's!!!!! Read more

Great service and sushi here at Yama Chen's Sushi Bar/Lynnhaven Mall location. I am very picky about the quality of my sushi and... Yama does not disappoint. I like it that the tuna and salmon rolls have "fresh" fish, and it does not taste like left-overmeat/ingredients from the night before. Prices are average here, for excellent quality sushi. I am now officially a regularcustomer and order here every week. Great customer service from all of the staff. Revised 10/13/22. I still LOVE YamachenSushi. I always do "take out", so I cannot vouche for a "dining in" experience. For take-out though, YamaChen Sushi isexcellent, and the only bad issues I read about is with the volcano rolls which come out too greasy (I wouldn't know because Ido not order volcano rolls). Give them a try if you are someone who is picky about their quality of sushi. ...but if you are a"volcano roll" lover, ask em not to make em so greasy, and see what you get. Check em out.....

This is a nice little sushi place, we were one of two groups in on a Saturday evening. Service was quick and friendly, and the... sushi rolls were fairly tasty and priced similarly to other places. For me, however, the miso soup was lacking and my volcanoroll came out soaked in oil which is why I can?t give more than 3 stars. Not a bad place for sushi, but not my top pick. It?slocation does make it an easy and convenient stop if you?re in the area. Read more

Edamame, Seaweed salad, King Crab roll, Combo platter....all good in my pickup order. AND THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENTARY... CHEESECAKE!! Read more

You MUST TRY the Sashimi appraiser!!! It comes with Chefs selection of fish and let me tell you the White Tuna was the best... surprise!!! So tender, subtle sweet ocean flavor; THIS BROUGHT ME BACK TO JAPAN!!! The miso soup was delicious, seaweed saladwas fresh and tasty, perfectly prepared. But the Yama roll was a definite great chose, each bite better than the last. Pleasetake my word and get what the chef and waitress recommend. I'm coming back again and again and again!!! Update, I just ate thedessert, it was the chocolate chip Moshi and it was so good it made my toes curl! Read more
