Love their food and atmosphere. The pad Thai is amazing and the sushi is great. Don't try to get into a big conversation with the wait staff because the likelihood is they won't understand you.

Fresh, delicious sushi. Hands down BEST in the south Jersey region; there simply is no competition. However, the quality does not end with sushi. Every dish here is done almost perfectly. We ordered the crispy duck with an array of rolls and it was fabulous. We've had some of the more authentic Japenese dishes here as well which WOWed us.... More

Yama is on one of the main drags in Ventnor, very close to beach and other businesses, as well as across the street from a liquor store. It has an attractive place with a nice atmosphere, though it can be loud when busy. We've had consistently great sushi here (what we get most often). Everything tastes very fresh and presentation...

Very nice atmosphere. Great, very diverse menu. You can find many different things so that pleases a large group. Everything we had was fresh and well prepared. Seems other Japanese Restaurants have a limited menu but here there is always something new and exciting to try. Wait staff needs to smile and try to make the experience a little less... More

Yama has an extensive menu of sushi and other Japanese food. The food is very good but the service is terrible. The prices are reasonable. It is a byob and the room is very noisy. There are tables set up for outdoor dining. Because the service is bad, this is not a place that I would bring small children. I... More

My friends and I went to Yama for lunch. I frequent the restaurant but one of my friends had never been there before. She commented on the nice interior. The renovations have definitely helped the atmosphere there, very open and you can see the sushi bar from practically any table. Restaurant was not busy on the Friday after the 4th... More

The interior has a sleek, modern upgrade that it desperately needed. The sushi bar mechanics is not well thought out because the servers continuously reach over you for the table food as it is completed. They also no longer seem to provide the small gratis app at the sushi bar that most Japanese restaurants offer. That said, the sushi was... More
