“ My husband and I had a very nice dinner at Yama-Taiyo. The servers were friendly and the menu varied - we had gyoza, udon with chicken, and spicy salmon rolls - everything was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. We plan to try their lunch specials next. ”
“ The avocado roll was super fresh, and the silken tofu crisp outside, soft inside was perfection. The pad Thai had a great flavor. Friendly staff and fast service made it even better! ”
“ Good, tasty food. Attentive staff. They stand for the honest, classic, home-like recipes and fresh ingredients of their dishes. Just take a look how their pad-thai looks like. My only suggestion is to slightly reduce the sweetness of the pad-thai. But it's my personal opinion. ”
“ First off I want to apologize and say thank you to the staff for opening their doors when they were closed before dinner. According to the hours listed in Google they were open but when we got there unbeknownst to me that they had closed for some down time before dinner. But they still opened their doors and allowed me and my family to have some really good food. It was the first time my aunt had tried pad thai and she said it was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed it. ”
“ I think I'm in love, ladies and gentlemen!! This spot has the best and freshest sushi I have tasted in years!! I lived out west for over 40 years and couldn't find anything that came close to the authentic Japanese farmhouse style sushi served here!! Dig in folks!! Great atmosphere and a great staff!! I will be back again and again! ”
“ Enjoyed the fresh foods here. Friendly service. Miso soup had fresh green onions which was a nice change of pace. The tuna tataki was nicely prepared and served on a bed of julienned carrots. The salmon roe was buttery and fresh. Beloved ordered a hand roll and said it was delicious. Average saki. No jasmine tea here but the green tea was hot and warmed me up on a rare chilly day. Saw signs advertising the grill, though that doesn’t seem currently available. Maybe it’s on special occasions? One was covered with Rc cars. Other signs advertised bubble tea and a variety of desserts like matcha fried cheesecake. Very friendly service. Reasonable prices. Definitely recommend and plan to return soon. Ample free parking. No wait time on a Saturday night. Wheelchair friendly set up. Kid friendly too. ”
