Yama Sushi Sake & Attitude

"I pass by Yama a lot on my way to and from the Santa Monica Airport. I typically drop by the Chipotle next door to pick up something quick but decided to check out Yama. And am I glad I did! The 5 pc nigiri Bento Box was exactly what I was looking for in a medium/light lunch. I was especially impressed with the karaage. Even after my 10 minute drive home, it remained crispy and reasonably warm. The sauce it’s soaked in is incredibly tasty and satisfying. The cold noodles were a nice simple side and the nigiri was solid. Expect to wait about 10 minutes for them to make the box freshly for you. I will definitely be coming back here and telling my friends about it."

"Great little sushi spot. Food is very fresh & appetizing. Wish I had known about it a lot sooner. Very limited indoor & outdoor seating. Only issue is that it’s quite cold inside, so bring a jacket if you’re going to eat there. Chirashi bowl $20. Assorted sashimi $10."

"I dream of this place when I’m not in LA. Best recent (ish) addition to the neighborhood. The freshest fish, the best prices, easy/fast service. I have to try hard not to go there every day when I’m back home! My dog cries when I am eating the salmon because I once mistakenly gave him a bite and he must have thought it was the best thing ever too! Also… I would have never tried the giant California rolls except that the owner was there the first time I visited and told me I had to try them… he was right… they are the best I’ve ever had! This place makes me so happy because it’s great and I love what it brings to our neighborhood."

"This market is amazing!! I ordered platters of sushi for a client lunch they were such a hit. The presentation is gorgeous and everything was so delicious. 10 stars. Highly recommend!!"
