Yama Seafood LA

CHANEL CHOUBACHA

I’ve been coming to Yama for years and have seen the transformation. I miss the days when you can meet Yama personally and have him slice your sashimi but it’s gotten so much more efficient now! You don’t have to queue up in a line anymore. You just grab a number and shop around until they call you. And speak about shopping around, this place is a legit market now! I remember the back of the store used to have old paraphernalia displayed on the walls and shelves collecting dust. There would be antique mugs and figurines, old calendars and art, random sake glasses and notebooks. Now those shelves are stocked with all the sushi-making staples! The front of the shop also got a facelift. Lots of displays full of snacks and drinks. The fridges have desserts and frozen food items. And now they rarely run out of pre-made rolls and sushi! I love that I can come in and out in less than 30 minutes. Before I would wait anywhere from 1-2 hours. And speaking of hours, they are open every day now! I absolutely adore this place and seeing it improve over the years is a testament to how successful and amazing this place is. Also, don’t judge me for how much rice I eat 🤣🤣🤣

This place probably is one of the freshest sushi / sashimi “hole in the wall” joint I have ever tried. I was visiting friends in LA and we felt like having sushi. They offer prepackaged trays of different portions of sushi and rolls. You can also request or purchase À La Carte cuts of fresh sashimi. It was delicious even though we ate it right in our car. Will for sure be back here during my next visit! Definitely worth the ride!

Best way to get great quality sashimi at an affordable price! You pick the fish and they'll cut it for you. Sooo good.

A must try! The fish here is beyond fresh. Great sake selection too. I love that there's pre-made sushi on one side and Fresh fish that they prepare sashimi style on the other - something for every sushi lover. I love their Bluefin Tuna. Most of the fish/seafood is shipped straight from Japan. The place was opened by a sushi master and you can tell. The entrance is on the back side of the building.
