Sushi is alright, but $2 for the smallest souffle cup I've ever seen of GF soy sauce? I could buy a whole bottle for twice that. They also charge for every little thing that they probably wouldn't charge if you were eating in.

Have been there many times. The sushi is very good. They have a wide selection of various rolls. If you prefer cooked, there is plenty to choose from. If you can't decide, they offer a bento box that has a wonderful selection. It's a great choice if you want a taste of everything . I highly recommend Yama.Parking: Parking is easy off season. Summertime can be more challenging, particularly on weekends.
Recommended dishes: Spicy Salmon Roll, Very Fresh, Tempura, Sushi for Two, Tuna

Hidden gem in Ventnor city, NJ. My favorite sushi place in this area. Seating and atmosphere are not that great, but the food is worth it, or take out and eat at home.

We have eaten in this establishment many times over the last several years and have NEVER had a bad meal, poor service, or any other disappointment that may sometimes come with eating out. Seaweed salad, sushi rolls, and oh those "sauteed in garlic" vegetables! The prices are also not bad for all of the enjoyments you will receive. When you get the opportunity you need to stop in and enjoy!

This may have been the worst sushi ive ever had in my life. On top of being over priced for what you get, everything had a horrific taste. I ordered a bunch of sushi that tasted old, and toro tartare. If you know what toro is supposed to look like, it doesn’t resemble canned cat food. I highly recommend never stepping foot in this place.

Sashimi and sushi has jus got worse and worse. Love this place been coming here for years but the quality has been trash especially for the price

This place is just ok. Everything was fine but Whole Foods sushi is on par or maybe slightly better. Edamame was not fresh, soup was just ok.

Sushi bar is never open, no draft beer, no coke ... sushi is average price. Only thing I can give this place points for is I don't have to wait to be seated lol
Yama!!! Wow! What a fantastic local sushi spot along the jersey shore! Not pictured were the edamame, miso soups, garden salad, and curry soup that we ordered as appetizers. All of them were delicious. Then out came the party tray for 3 and honestly the best decision to get. This had a little bit of everything from sashimi, to hand rolls and more. It's all a chefs choice but they chose very well for us. I think there were 80+ pieces on the tray and we finished nearly all of it. I'm definitely keeping this in my list for my next sushi craving down the shore.

worst service I have ever experienced. This is legitimately that most disorganized restaurant I have ever been to. Do not waste your time or money here.

My friends and I came here for a late lunch on a weekday and all opted for the lunch special. Due to us coming at an off hour, service was great and waitresses checked in on us constantly. I got the sashimi and sushi combo. I was pleasantly surprised that all of the sashimi pieces were thick and meaty. I feel like some places try to skimp on the sashimi. The fish was very fresh, my favorite was the salmon. If I lived near here I would definitely become a regular haha.

I’m not sure if we came when it just opened but I think they made the sushi rice with day old rice because the color and texture was different. Not very satisfied:( everything was fine just the rice.
