Great, expensive sushi, cramped quarters – Although the sushi was extremely delicious, albeit expensive, I couldn't help but wish that I was at the other Yama on Carmine street since I was forced to listen to the 2 conversations around me b/c of the unbelievably small dining area.
Worth the Wait – I have been to Nobu, Bond Street and all the others...if you have the time to swing by check in and come back 15 minutes after he tells you too. The Fresh large portions of Sushi are worth the wait...
Yamalicious but $$$$ – Went for the first time and thought the special rolls I ordered were delicious. Yes, the pieces are big or even super-sized and while this may not be 100% "authentic" it is yummy. and for the prices they charge the roll should be very large. One portion that was small was the edamame. Vegetable sushi choices are limited but those offered are very tasty. I would go back if a friend wanted to but I woulndt go out of my way to go there. If I were in the market for pricy upscale sushi I would go to Haru in... read more
Perfection! – Amazing! Don't go here for the atmosphere, don't go here for the specialty drinks, don't go here for a waitstaff that will kiss your feet - go here for the unbelievable sushi. This is the best you will ever have - stop whining and grab a drink across the street - it's totally worth the wait!
great food - long wait – there is almost always a line and a min. of 20 minute wait time for a table. def. not a good place for groups - best in pairs as you will get seated faster. it's a rushed kind of dinner but worth it - the rolls and the sashimi are very good, better than most of the NY Japanese restaurants in the same price range. and you MUST try the fried ice cream dessert!
Fantastic – I'm shocked any REAL sushi lover would call this place OK. Excellent, sometimes a wait, but always worth it. Amateurs should quit taking up space!
