Yama Sushi is an amazing value tucked away on a non-descript side street of Ingleside (which itself is somewhat out of the way). They have a large selection of both nigiri and rolls. Despite the cheap prices ($1.50 for most nigiri, $4 for the usual rolls), the quality of the sushi was better than other places that are 2-3 times more expensive. They also have great specials like the sushi combo ($9 for 8 pieces of nigiri) and the bento box ($12 for your choice of 3 items, plus rice/noodles, miso soup, and salad).
At times it was difficult to get the server’s attention. Given that the whole place only has ~10 tables, it felt like they were intentionally avoiding looking in our direction. But when the server did come over, the service was good and the food came out quickly.
Also, despite being in a seemingly random location, it’s only a couple blocks away from the K Muni line and less than a mile from the Balboa Park BART stop.
The tuna was great and the roll was made well. But they went a bit overboard with the spicy sauce, hence the 3 stars instead of 4.
Good balance of tastes and they put in plenty of fish.
Much to my delight, this place actually had non-pork gyoza! They consisted of chicken and vegetables. Nice and crispy on the outside, while soft and juicy on the inside.
Great deal. We had sashimi (2 sake and 2 tekka), salmon teriyaki, and shrimp katsu. Plus the udon noodles, miso soup, and salad that comes with all of the boxes. Nothing stood out as spectacular, but everything in the box was definitely delicious.
