Sushiya

Excellent food, fast service and inexpensive. 4 delicious sides come out before the meal including kimchi, bean sprouts, broccoli and black beans soaked in something delicious. The Green River is my recommendation for sushi rolls.

Bumping this up a star because we went back out of curiosity and/​or desperation, and it was actually better. Their Korean items like seafood pajun and kopdol bibimbap were adequately good, and the rice was fresh. But they will need to earn back my trust before I can give them another star! The place was almost empty of customers. I wasn’t brave enough to try the sushi again. Maybe next time.

I went to Sushiya with my mother one weekday afternoon. We were seated quickly and brought some Japanese tea. I was amazed at how large the menu was, featuring literally hundreds of Japanese and Korean dishes. I ordered the sirloin bulgogi which came marinated with onions and carrots in a sweet broth, and a side order of kimchi. The kimchi was spicy, with the perfect pungent and fermented flavor. My mother ordered the spicy tofu and scallion pancakes. The tofu came with a scallion soy sauce on the side but it was hardly spicy. In fact, without the sauce over the tofu, the tofu was downright bland, with no flavor at all. The pancakes were great and much thicker than what I have had at other Asian restaurants. We both enjoyed the appetizers brought to the table, which included marinated bean sprouts, pickled spicy cucumbers, dried black beans, salted broccoli, and sweetened potatoes. Overall it was an enjoyable experience at Sushiya, and with such a vast menu, I will for sure be returning to try some of the other tasty dishes.

My husband and I ate here two days in a row and it was consistently delicious both times! We both have tried the yummy hot teas (the ginger tea is my particular favorite). I had the avocado tuck circle as my lunch entrée today and it was delicious! Not to mention it looked beautiful. The owner and our waitress were very attentive and welcoming. Will come again!

Remarkably bad. Bento «box» lunch began with the traditional array of little nibbles: black beans, bean sprouts, cucumber etc. Black beans dry and hard. Sprouts smelled musty, texture flabby. Box platter arrives with usual iceberg salad, but this one drenched in awful, water dreading. Odd combo of things on platter: rice AND (weary) glass noodles? One bone — dry dumpling, just sitting there. Two slices off avocado roll. No sauce offered for these items, no soy on table. Spicy bulgoki okay, but suffering by association with the not — fresh stuff. Felt like dump– the — leftovers day. Small wonder thus place is nowhere near as popular as Yama, which it replaced at this location. Thank goodness we still have Yama in West Lebanon!
Did I mention the blasting Christmas carols? Bulgok and Bing… ouch! i

Ran in here after The Martian (great movie!) for a snack — it was 9pm, they close at 10pm. Maybe that’s why we got a chilly reception?
The food was just ok, nothing special — the prices are very Hanover. The head waitress (or possibly co-​owner? Not sure — she’s definitely a familiar face) was quite rude.
Our waitress was nice, and most of the folks working there seemed happy, but she was unwelcoming — noticeably so. Offputting. Better choices are not far away.

This was alright to try but I preferred Thai Orchid. I’m not an expert on Asian food but everything appeared to be fresh and presented well.

I love their online order system. The place you can get a togo food and feed yourself within 12 dollars. Been there at least 150 times for the past four years at Hanover. They changed the ownership but with similar menu.

Very awesome and attentive service. They offer a nice selection of snacks for the beginning and have a nice selection of sushi, but offer different food too.
The presentation of all foods are very nice.

I wasn’t expecting to find good sushi in New Hampshire but I was really pleasantly surprised by my recent meal at Sushiya. The food is very good and the menu has quite a few fun, inventive sushi rolls on it. I was very happy with the food I ordered. Décor and drink selection could be better but service is good and prices are fair.

A far cry from Yama, and if you’ve got a car, drive over to West Leb. Went to Sushiya when they first opened and while service was good, the portions were the same as before (if not slightly smaller) and prices were jacked up.

We like this restaurant. Its a good fix if you are craving for japanese/​korean food but BEWARE. My son and I got food poisoning TWICE from this place from eating their sushi. Needless to say VERY DISAPPOINTED.

The jjamppong, spicy seafood udon and soondobu are awesome; rolls are ok (veg rolls are mediocre, do not recommend) and their normal udon is absolutely terrible and tasteless. My friends always go for the bibimbap, which is tasty with meat but rather lackluster as a vegetarian tofu option. Teriyaki also tasty, but only with meat.

Great! Huge portions and low prices. Way better value than other places in town.
I wanted a nice place with good prices and we found it here. Great work guys!

If you liked the old version of this place when it was called Yama, then you’ll still love Sushi Ya, because it’s exactly the same. Their sushi’s fun and well made. Their Bi Bim Bop is fantastic. And you get all the little side dishes when you order Korean. They’re also mindful of food allergies. They have gluten free soy sauce on hand, and they know what’s in the food. So I love going there.

This place is alright. Formally Yama, Sushiya is pretty much the exact same thing… but with a new name and new owner I believe.
Anyways, the other two reviews make this place sound like an absolutely nightmare. It’s really not that bad. I will say that the wait staff doesn’t always have the greatest English so it’s best to probably keep requests simple or to not have that many requests to start with.
I like that they give you the side dishes to start you off with – these are a slight improvement from Yama’s. I remember Yama’s side dishes literally tasted like nothing. these at least taste like something.
My friend and I split a chirashi bowl and a Green Monster roll. The fish was fresh and pretty good, though nothing outstanding. Rice tasted like sushi rice, and the roll was well-​presented. It was a roll with three types of fish and topped with red and black tobiko which was something a little different from what my friend was used to.
Service was friendly – they checked up on us, brought us our food in a timely manner, I don’t have much to complain about. We tried telling them to split the check earlier on but there was a pretty severe communication issue. No worries though – a restaurant in Hanover is usually pretty used to being handed multiple credit cards and will know to just split the check two/​however many ways you need it to be split.
tldr; all in all, an okay experience. Nothing to rave about, but I didn’t hate it. food was good, service was good.

I was a semi-​regular when this was Yama. Most people felt the W. Lebanon branch of Yama had better food, and I mildly agreed, but the décor in W. Leb. is just too depressing to be spending so much money on a meal. So, I tended to hit the Hanover one 9 times out of 10. It was OK. Never bad, but never great.
I think Sushi Ya is an improvement. The fish seems a little fresher, the sushi portions a hair bigger, and the presentation improved. I know they have much of the same staff as Yama had, but I think the new owners are expecting more out of them (and perhaps selecting the fish).
I wouldn’t put this in the class of sushi you can get in New York or San Francisco, but it’s as good as what I’ve had in many other big cities. The sushi is pretty darn good, and will definitely hit the spot if you’re having a craving.
My only two criticisms are that the unagi isn’t served toasted & warmed enough, and that I wish they would expand the sushi selection a bit to go outside the comfortable American staples. They rarely have uni (sea urchin), and when they do they only have a few orders. I would love to see them offer things like amaebi, toregai, and different varieties of uni. With Dartmouth in town, I’m sure the market for it is there.

Went there on the recommendation of LL Bean, after a kayaking trip. Had a great lunch-​sushi was fresh, generous portions, hot wasabi and great selection. The resturant provides some «small apps» at no extra charge while waiting for your meal.
My review is also based on the honesty and integrity of the management staff. I dropped my «fitbit» in the resturant and did not realize it till I got back to CT. I was able to «GPS» the time it stopped tracking. I called the manager and he said it was there. I asked if he could mail it to me and I would reimburse him for the postage. The next day he called me and told me it was only 3.12 to mail it and he took care of it and it was on its way. He then sent me an email of the reciept and tracking info.
WOW!!! My fitbit arrived 3 days later. It is so refreshing that there are honest good people running businesses.
Please consider eating there if you are in the area. Great honest, hard working folks with great food at reasonable prices!

A variety of choices, each with detailed description on the menu. Very crafted skills of hand making sushi.
Delightful dining place – clean and spacious
Very convenient location, not far from college.
But service is average, I’d say.

Welcome to town Sushi Ya!
Walked into the old Yama Yama location, and encounter an updated and more upbeat version.
You can still find a lot of the old dishes, but better and with more items!
SUSHI and rolls, all kinds of it!
Nice presentation and the taste even better!
Bravo to the new chef!
