    Had a great sushi dinner here after a week of skiing. Staff was so nice. Even offered us free sake and beers when our table wasn’t ready.

    Fabulous food extraordinary front of house service Best freshest beautifully presented sushi sashimi rolls everything My only personal complaint was the loud nonstop thumping music choice I loved everything and I’m sure some love the music but it contradicts the zen yummy yama vibe

    We had a wonderful experience. Our server Mariana (?) was super welcoming and friendly. She suggested vegetarian options for us that were exceptional. Will definitely go back.

    I like to have conversation over dinner and don't appreciate louder music forcing me to speak up. I'm not at a club. The tables are already close enough together to create enough noise. Kill and lower the electronic music.
