“My husband and I stumbled upon this place today by accident, and I think it's my new fave Thai restaurant! It's located in a little corner next to Patsy's so it's easy to miss, but when you walk in it's quite spacious, with booth and table seating as well as a sushi bar. We ordered Thai food from the lunch menu. I had the Panang Curry and my husband had a spicy noodle dish with beef (similar to Pad See Ew) but forget the name of it. We both enjoyed our meals and a free Thai iced tea to go! Service was fast and friendly. Give this place a try!“
“We absolutely LOVE Sashimi. The sushi is always so fresh and SO DELICIOUS. The best I’ve ever had. We are greeted like family and treated like royalty every time we go in. Steve always remembers us and our preferences. I can’t say enough positive wonderful things about the beautiful, kind, talented people that work at sashimi. We are in love!“
“Tasty food! Great portions and stellar service. My new sushi and ramen spot!!! I highly recommend! Their combo ramen and roll combos keeps interesting foods coming to you bit by bit. First, a nice sized side salad, then pan fried gyoza, then the delicious miso ramen... mmm...“
“Excellent fish! If looking for crazy rolls with lots of sauces this is not your place. If you just want excellent fish you're in the right place. Only a handful of tables and seats at the sushi bar so reservations are suggested.Parking: Tons of parking.“
“Sushi over the years has changed. It used to be about Japanese people running the place, now its about the right person for the job. I had a lot of problems here, in which Don and Hiro addressed. Alberto the chef is really good at what he does he is also very kind. I had my sushi tasted a bit fishy this time around, and there was, "other,'' problems but a great place is not about having great food all the time, but the service. They really take the time to change and adapt. This is one of the best features about this place. I really think anyone coming to Yama should be honest because they do accommodate. Their customer service is very good in terms of compliance, Lee is a great waitress and because of her I can come back here. Their water levels of chlorine was high but Don said it was the Macha product. When I asked for hot water, with more investigating it was actually the water source. However they promptly fixed the issue and when I came back around. It was great. Green Tea was very good. They really took efforts to address the problems that I was having. Not to mention, Kenny the son whom has great interpersonal skills help mediate any situations although he studies all day and night working part time to help his father Don run the restaurant. This is a gem of a place and deserves more recognition. Good family owned business and its right next to the lake, can't compare to the local sushi places, this place is the most consistent. Chefs treat this job as life or death! They're all sweet men!Dietary restrictions: Poke bowl, Henry made it dangerously salty. Came back and wanted to get it from Hiro because that was what the waitress recommended, but seemed to busy. However I got the Poke bowl again and it came out little fishy this time and couldn't finish it. The Toro handroll was also on the fishy side. But still good, didn't get sick.“
“Samurai sushi is a gem of a restaurant in South OC! The owner Gina is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. So accommodating! The food is fantastic, and they have had the same chefs for years, so very consistent as well. Great selection, good prices. Buy one get one half off M-Th is such a deal. See you again soon my favorite sushi joint!!“
“I've been to a lot of Japanese restaurants during my time as a medical student, and this restaurant is simply the best. The price for the portion is unbeatable, and the staff is super kind. Definitely making this spot a regular stop for me.“
“My family has been going here for YEARS and by far the best sushi that you can get at a low price! They know who we are and we always get a lot of sushi for them that they prepare in a timely manner! The only mistake they've ever made was forgetting our miso soup and the owner apologized and of course said that we can get a free one on the house the next time we came in. Could not be more satisfied with this place.“
“I always order for pick up here. If you sit you're set. If you order pick up they charge every single thing including the siracha or side of eel sauce you would assume should come included with your meal.. that's the only reason I'm giving this place a 4Foods a 5It's always busy which is a great sign. But yea it's not a lot obviously what you're spending on the sauces but still, they should be provided and any more after that should be charged.“
“The value for these bowls is fantastic. So many different options and combos to make that you have to come back again to try different versions. I had scallops with tuna, salmon and albacore. I’ll be back for more different styles in the future.???♀️?♂️“

“I absolutely love this place for any occasion and especially like the sushi!!! They're large rolls, very filling and you get your money's worth.The teppanyaki table is always a blast and the chefs that are preparing the food are hilarious ? I would give this place an A++“
“Visited this place during the weekday for dinner. It was super crowded and had a lively ambience. The food service is quick and the food is amazing. They also have sushi bar which you can sit on if you like to watch the chefs making sushi.They do not have a lot of vegetarian options. We ordered Tofu with rice, avocado sushi roll and mango lady sushi roll. The food was delicious. The waiter was not able to understand English and so had to run back a couple of times to make sure the request was correctly entered.Overall we had a great experience and will surely visit again.Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetarian options. They do have 5 sushi rolls which are vegetarian and a couple of other dishes. That's it.“
