Yama Sushi

I eat here all the time. It’s always good. The staff are nice, quick, and polite. This isn’t an overly fancy spot but will not disappoint especially at the more than fair price. $$

A friend told me it was really good. After eating here I thought. «she doesn’t like sushi? «So…Went with my daughter who I sometimes think was born without taste buds «its good» to everything that isn’t spicy. She ordered a box with chicken cali roll, tempura, you know. The «uneventful box» I ordered some tempura, spicy salmon , sunomono miso. It was all very uneventful. I think it draws its customers from Argyle school mostly. God love them but teenagers are more like goats than gastronomes and that’s what you get here but at Lynn Valley prices. If you want cheap filling teenager style sushi for goats try Haru on Lonsdale. Its just as good but quite a bit cheaper!

Well it was kind of gross! The miso soup to start was good, and the veggie tempura was also good, but my California rolls were a little off. I’ve definitely had better. You get a lot of food for your money, and the tiny little restaurant had a constant line up for take out, so it’s definitely a popular eatery, but my experience wasn’t great!

I like this little place! Only order takeout, it’s too tiny for me to dine in I feel claustrophobic. Food is great, seems to be fresh and portions are big. It is cheaper then any sushi place on Lonsdale. Service is always friendly and fast. Love spicy tuna Don!

I’ve eaten a LOT of sushi around Vancouver. These guys do a good job for quick inexpensive sushi, and I especially like their party trays that have a good variety of deliciousness. Sushi was very fresh. It didn’t taste like it had been sitting around for a couple hours before I got it.
Very convenient to where I live, and I don’t know how I missed them for so many years. It’s a good choice if you want a quick bite while your out and about in Lynn valley.

We stopped by here on our way back from a hike. It’s a cute little place tucked away just off Mountain Hwy. We ordered a couple of bento boxes and a dragon roll. The bento boxes were a little small, but still a good value. The chicken and beef teriyaki was pretty good and I actually thought the tempura was nice and light. The dragon roll had good flavour but the rice was a little too mushy for our liking. But value-​wise, this place is good. Lunch came to just over $ 20 which is not bad at all. Service was quick and very friendly! Seems like a nice family run place!

Would definitely go back. Service and food was very good and meals arrived quickly. Our guess is it’s family run. My friend had a bento box which she rated 8 – 8.5 and I had ebi and an avacado roll, which were very good and the prices were amazing. Two dinners with lots of food for less than $ 20! Wow. Well, it’s that much easier to leave them a generous tip as they deserve it. Better to pay it forward than make them have to raise their prices. While there, a number of take out orders by locals. Parking could get tight but there’s parking lots all around so it’s all good. Nothing fancy, a little whole in the wall really (seats about 14 total), but a great neighborhood eatery and nice people. Domo arigato.

I just called to order sushi– stuck at work.
Despite their page saying they deliver supposedly they dont :(

I had the sashimi combo and the fish was very fresh. My wife had a dynamite roll and it was very big. Two shrimps inside the roll instead of the usual one. We really enjoyed our food, and would come again.

Yama Sushi is a great place to get sushi. The price you pay for the quality you recieve is incredible. They are always consistent and I love going there to eat. Usually I do an order for pick-​up and they are always very prompt when they say your food will be ready in 15min. The restaurant itself is very small which would normally bother me, but this place does not. The staff are super friendly and nice and I would highly recommend Yama Sushi!

Good sushi, not exceptional, but a solid meal.
I was in Lynn Valley for a mountain bike ride on Fromme and wanted to pick up a quick lunch on my way home. At my brother-in-law’s suggestion, we hit up Yama Sushi as we were passing through. There was ample parking in the small lot outside of the restaurant.
The prices are a bit higher and portions a bit smaller than Sushi Town, by reference, but the food was fresh and the service courteous.
Would go again if in the area.

Great sushi and super cheap! Go with the red dragon roll and the philadelphia roll… YUM:)

I’ve been a takeout customer for what must be close to 10 years now.
Discovered Yama Sushi when I lived in Lynn Valley. I now live in lower Lonsdale, and go out of my way to get sushi here, even though there are dozens of sushi places closer to home.

–Quality
–Good service
–Friendly staff
–Good sized portions
–Reasonable prices
Busy place for takeout.

My parents turned me onto this place a year or two ago and I have been going back ever since. Usually pick up a three or four rolls and some gyoza for dinner and split with the missus. Is also our go to for big family sushi dinners. They have always been accommodating to our extra requests and are always really nice. Very reasonable price for what you get.

Good local sushi joint. Parking can be tight. I mainly do take out and occasionally a lunch. The food is solid, reliable, normal Japanese food at a reasonable cost. Nothing outstanding, nothing bad. Only issue is that with take out, their estimated time is often late.

I would consider my friend and I «regulars» at this place. The staff are always very friendly and the service is prompt. The menu offers a large variety, including quite a few combos. I really like the spicy chicken roll… it has a fair amount of sauce on it but it is quite tasty. You really get a lot of bang for your buck here too!

Ordered take out… told there’s no tamago. Ok. Placed my order. 15 min later get a call that they ordered Tako but it hadn’t arrived yet. Ok, cancel that. Are you not a sushi place? Should you not have everything adequately stocked, not just as you need it?
Ordered:
1) Combo A: 1PC Tuna, 1PC salmon, 1PC Snapper, 1PC Ebi & Dynamite Roll $ 7.50
**although not listed comes with miso soup
**um we didn’t get Dynamite roll, we got California roll (which no one likes, but too late to change when we’ve already left)
2) 3 negitoro rolls — was only ok, didn’t really taste the green onions, almost just tasted like a tuno/​toro roll really. Not worth $ 3/​roll we paid!
3) Toro Sashimi (6pcs) $ 8.95 — not bad
Total came to $ 26, which was a bit expensive in my opinion as our usual Nanaimo Sushi or Sushi town would have filled us up for this price. Hubby and I barely ate as we fed the hungry kids instead.
Won’t be back.

Sushi here is decent. Usually stop by if I just want a small sushi combo and nothing else. If i’m in the mood for more of a sushi type meal prefer the Mr. Sushi location in the next building over. The seating is fairly limited and the deep fried stuff always seems to be a little too deep fried for my liking. The raw fish quality is also not top notch.

Good sushi made with care, staff is very friendly and they have great lunch specials.

It was a rushed dinner so we each got one of the sushi combos and miso soup. Food came super fast, service was good and the sushi was pretty good.
Price was very good as well.

Mmmhmmm, my new fave lunch sushi place. I’ve been here twice now, and it is superb. Thanks to my usual being closed on Mondays I ended up here a few weeks ago.
The salmon is all wild, so I don’t have to shun the salmon rolls, meaning I can eat way more combos! I had the spicy combo for lunch today, and it was huge, and wonderful. I’m not normally a fan of mayo, but there was some sort of spicy sauce on top that looked like mayo, but tasted good. Not overly mayo-​y.
The gomae is good, and came in a big portion. Not my favourite gomae ever, but still quite nice.
Another time I had a bento box. Now those are a good deal. Try one. The food was excellent, and the value is killer, especially at lunch. I was stuffed when I left.
The space is teeny tiny, but oh-​so-​cute. Nice staff, and a really pleasant atmosphere. Geoff is right about the tea, though. A little bland.
Definitely a good choice in Marpole if you are looking for sushi.

stopped in for a bite while a traffic accident snarrled traffic. Had the sashimi meal. nice BIG pieces of tuna and salmon.

Yami has been around for some time, but within the past few months it has come under new management. I never tried it under the old owners, so I thought now would be the time to give it a shot. I walked in from the cold for an early dinner to a fairly spartan and clean room, devoid of other patrons. The attentive hostess had me seated immediately and some hot (but sort of bland) tea on my table within seconds. Next time, I’m bringing my stop watch.
Prices were pretty decent so I ordered my usual sushi feast. The tuna roll was as good as any I’ve had, succulent and buttery. The salmon nigiri was a generous slab over a (not too sticky) ball of rice. My dragon roll was a bit of a surprise because I didn’t read the menu very carefully; I was expecting basically an inside out kappa roll with avocado and eel on top (and hopefully some tempura prawns inside with the cucumber, but I understand that not every place does this), dressed with some mayo. What I got was a California roll with eel on top drenched with mayo and sprinkled with roe.
It was pretty good, but not as good as what I would consider the standard dragon roll, which looking at the takeout menu is listed as a white dragon roll. People who aren’t a fan of mayo should avoid it entirely.
Red Tuna, one black south still has my heart out of the Granville strip sushi bars, but Yami’s tuna roll at least made me pause and reconsider.
