JAPANESE YAMA SUSHI

Hidden Sushi Gem with Extraordinary Service

Tucked away near Borough Station, this delightful little sushi haven invites guests into its cozy, family-run atmosphere where every dish seems to tell a story. The simplicity of the restaurant's decor is offset by the intricacy and freshness of its offerings, providing a sanctuary for those who appreciate the art of Japanese cuisine. The menu hosts an enchanting mix of sashimi, sushi rolls, and vibrant poke bowls, each crafted with care and served swiftly by a staff whose warmth is reflected in the glimmering eyes of Kenzie and her team. Do not expect the glamour of polished interiors; instead, relish the charm of this authentic eatery where the humbleness of its setup cuts through the clamor of central London.

Despite being a modest establishment with just 12 seats, Yama Sushi offers extraordinary value for money, tempting both locals and curious wanderers seeking a truly satisfying meal. Highlights include the nigiri prawn, pockets of flavor neatly packaged on polished platters, and salmon poke bowls celebrated for their fresh ingredients. While some reviews noted minor inconsistencies, such as less-than-perfect tuna and minor delivery hiccups, the overwhelming consensus endears itself to superb food and superior service. In essence, this venue is a cherished little treasure trove for sushi lovers, wrapped in an ambiance rich with sincerity and culinary craftmanship—they’ve certainly found loyal patrons in us. — Audrey Al Dente
