Yama Ramen

This lunch special is seriously unbeatable for NYC. For the price, you get a complete meal with generous portions and multiple sides, making it one of the best value lunches I’ve come across. Great food, friendly service, and a perfect spot for a quick lunch break

An incredible experience. The food was excellent, and Yenny, the waitress, was very attentive, smiling, and kind. You can go there with your eyes closed! 🤩😍

I had Tonkotsu Ramen and 3 pieces of Sushi, Salmon, Tuna and white tuna.<br>To Japanese people, don’t expect it as same as you have Tonkotsu in Japan. It is totally different even though naming is same. To people who never had Japanese Tonkotsu, just try it if you like and have Tonkotsu in Japan somewhere someday in Japan.<br>Each Sushi was so so but it is reflected in inflation.<br><br>To the cook, please learn from others or visit Japan to learn about various Ramens.

I used to love this place.<br>Took my nieces and my bestfriend. However I was embarrassed and appalled and disappointed this recent time when I took my mom.<br>They upped their prices.<br>And when no one else was in the restaurant they took forever and got my order wrong.<br>They also skimped on one of the ingredients. And gave different amount of wasabi to me compared to my mom.<br>Also her yellow tail looked gray and purple.<br>Very discolored.<br>Nothing about this meal made sense<br>They did nothing to make it right.<br>No discount. No apology. No extra offering. And when I called attention to the issues they walked away, unsure if they were going to fix it. Disappointing and confusing experience.<br>And the toilet paper in their bathroom didn’t tear right after multiple attempts.<br>Something’s wrong here.<br>I do not plan to return.

Ordered maki rolls to-go for lunch but found fish scales and hard fish bones in the salmon avocado roll. I picked out one from mouth but accidentally swallowed one which hurts my throat. I can understand and accept that my eel avocado roll has so many small thin fish bones in the eel, but not the salmon. The salmon bones are very thick and very hard. The chef should be more carefully in preparing the salmon.

Such a great experience! I ordered the kimchi pork don, kani salad, and edamame, everything was fresh and full of flavor. The pork don had the perfect balance of spice, and the strawberry ice cream mochi was the perfect sweet finish.<br><br>Michelle was amazing, so friendly and attentive. She really made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!

We had the pleasure of having Michelle as our server, and not only was the food amazing (got sushi rolls as our entree), but the service was exceptional too! Michelle was working through the snow storm which couldn’t have been easy, but still provided top notch service! Also, highly recommend the kale salad!

we went there on 12/28. I don’t know why the shop was already full but the boss still solicited more and more customers. As a result, the waiter just hang us there for thirty mins with no water. After 30 mins, the waiter finally noticed us that we haven’t ordered the meal. When the food came out, the ramen was warm not hot and the dumplings were cold. Overall this restaurant is so disappointing 🥲🥲

The place was nice and the service was nice. But the food was not it. Me and my friend showed up 30min before they closed so maybe it’s our fault but we ordered our drinks and food and for starters, they forgot our drinks. Then comes the appetizer and I had the gyoza which it was okay but a lil cold on the inside. Then the ramen comes out and I got their “famous” bowl everyone’s loves apparently and the noodles were sticking together. It felt like the soup in it was just warmed up and they threw the noddles in there. The egg was cold and the meat tasted so old like almost falling apart and just mushy. So with all that I decided I wasn’t gonna tip. I go to pay and they start saying oh you didn’t leave a tip on any of the receipts trying to say this is America and like we HAVE TO leave a tip. I told them no I wasn’t going to tip and they started speaking in their language and laughing. So we told them thank you and one guy kept saying no no thank you. We were tryna be polite about it but they got really butt hurt over no tip. Maybe if they did some self reflecting on their quality of service they might see more tips in the future. But that will be the first and last time for me👍🏻

We went into the city to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree and afterwards we were frozen. I looked for a place where we could get some hot noodle soup to defrost and found Yama. Luckily it's only 2 blocks from Rockefeller Center. It's a small cozy Japanese restaurant tucked away up a narrow flight of stairs from the street. Dont blink or you'll miss it. The atmosphere is warm, modest, and authentic. The service was fast and friendly. And my tonkatsu ramen was delicious.

Three out of four of these meals that we had were good here. I had miso Ramen. It was very good and comparable to other Ramen places. Sushi was great. The teriyaki steak bento box left a lot to be desired, the steak had a very rubbery and shoot a texture that made it almost impossible to eat. Other than that, the atmosphere is great and the servers are OK.

Great spot to hit before Radio City. Friendly service from the minute we walked in. All staff acknowledged us throughout the meal and checked in. Fresh food and it came out quickly. Would go back. Good vibe and good spot to go with friends or alone.

This was a terrible dining experience. Our server, Jenny, was rude and insincere. Her fake smile quickly dropped the moment she turned away, and I caught her rolling her eyes more than once. Throughout the night, her behavior was consistently passive-aggressive, which made the entire experience uncomfortable.<br><br>The chicken teriyaki chicken was merely overcooked chicken pieces with a questionable, distasteful sauce drizzled on top. The tonkotsu ramen broth was disappointing. I recommend Shokudo for a better taste.<br><br>One of the most shocking moments was one of the chefs sneezing on the sushi bar, souring my appetite.<br><br>When I asked for the check, my guest and I were surprised to see the tip line crossed out. It turned out Jenny had quietly added a gratuity to the bill. When I asked if this was a new policy for two-person tables, she flatly said “no.” When I followed up to ask why she decided to do it tonight, she had no answer.<br><br>To top it all off, we were rushed out before I even received the dessert I ordered. Overall, it was one of the most unpleasant dining experiences I’ve had. I will not be returning.

The atmosphere is amazing, low tone music and very calm but still modern. The decor is very simple but add to the experience. We were looking for sushi in town and found many places claim to serve sushi but most were crab rolls. This place offered a variety of rolls, sashimi, and if you arnt looking for raw fish the ramen was great. The broth was rich with good flavor and the pork belly was tender not rubber I also enjoyed the 2 gals who helped us they were very welcoming and knew the menu well. Looking to escape the busy street for good food and a great atmosphere you found it here.

Excellent atmosphere. Excellent service. Delicious food. Had their restaurant week specials. Presentation of food was fantastic. The Kimchi ramen with chicken was very tasty, very filling. Timing of food and service was completely on point. Really cozy place, right down to the ambient mix of music playing in the background.<br><br>Editing to add pictures.
