Sushi Yama

This was an absolute awful experience. Our family goes out to eat on a very regular basis and I can’t remember the last time we have received such poor service. From the second we walked in, we felt like we were a total inconvenience to the staff. We weren’t even given menus and had to ask for them! Drinks sat empty the whole meal, as well as we had to bus our own table. Please do not waste your money on this establishment!

It’s a hit or a miss with this place. They lack in consistency. I ordered 3 times for take out and 2 times I was missing stuff.
First time I said Salmon Avocado with Cucumber, and I got just avocado and cucumbers.
Second time I got what I requested by no soy sauce in the bag. Why would you not automatically put soy sauce in the bag?
Third time, everything was right. and this was the time I actually picked it up and it wasn’t delivered, so I made sure to check while I was there and get some soy sauce as well.
The communication is extremely lacking on the phone. I suggest if you want to go here, go into the store, don’t call for delivery. And when the delivery guy delivered once, I told him to keep the change because I only had a $ 20 on me and I think the food was about 16 dollars so I could only tip 4 dollars and he gave me a nasty stare standing in front of my door just holding the 20 in his hand almost shocked I was not whipping my wallet out to give him more money. I said thank you and he said nothing back, so I just closed the door. Very rude. and when I picked up in store the last time, I tipped 2 dollars because I did not think anyone needed a tip unless it was the chef, I did not sit and have someone serve me food, and the cashier guy gave me the dirtiest look and said something under his breath and just took the receipt and put it in the register.. No thank you, nothing! I was so shocked. And they are always nice when you first walk in, so after they realize they’re not getting the big tip they want, they get really rude, so beware. Go in there loaded or you will get an attitude on tip. In my opinion, if I am not being served and I am picking up, I should not have to tip. who am I tipping, the cashier? Come on. And I always tip 20 percent in restaurants in which I sit and am served with drinks, food, etc. so it’s not like I am a bad tipper, they need to treat customers better.
But all in all, the sushi is basic. Taste like any other sushi to me, nothing special. So go, if it’s the only one open or the closest to you. just double check the order you receive for take out and delivery.

We just ordered from here for take out. It was amazing! They were super friendly, the food was ready on time, the restaurant was very nice and clean and both the Chinese food and shushi we ordered were on point. Yum!

I feel like a jerk giving a place one star, but I really don’t want anyone else to waste money here.
I ordered the Mongolian beef and two tempura rolls, and two egg rolls.
Mongolian beef is chewy and gross. Quote from boyfriend «tell them that the „beef“ is rat meat with tons of black pepper on it» lol
Egg rolls are inedible. Mushy, weird and gross.
Everything is dripping in grease.
Shrimp tempura roll was off, the sauce left a weird aftertaste.
The yam tempura was OK. Super glad that I didn’t get fish.
Apparently, this place really does it for some people. I figured I’d throw in my two cents, I found it to be some of the worst Asian food I’ve ever eaten.

Quality sushi at an affordable price. The whole menu is such a flavorful treat. This restaurant is amazing. We have had nothing but magnificent food both dining in and having it delivered.

this review is only for the chinese menu items — — -
so yum! i’m glad superior finally has a good asian restaurant! i hope they are here to stay. :) the xiao long bao (pork dumplings with soup inside) are the best i’ve had in colorado– a must try! the shen jian bao (pan-​fried soup dumplings) were perfect as well and i haven’t seen them offered at any other restaurant in the boulder/​denver area. the lion head meatballs here are also legit and are actually more like an epic scotch egg. we got a salt and pepper pork dish and fish fillet + veggie dish that was delicious too. basically, everything we got was good! check this restaurant out! your best bet would be to bring a friend who can read chinese as all these items are off the chinese menu (no english, no pictures). but if not, the server and chef are very patient and will try their best to explain the dishes to you and make recommendations. hopefully, one day they can make the chinese menu items more easily accessible to anyone.
will definitely be back!

3.5 stars just for the Chinese food (haven’t tried sushi here). We talked to the chef, he’s from Shanghai, so it’s at least authentic home style cooking (I say that because, well, chefs in China cook much better!)
I’ll think of this place whenever I crave Shanghainese dishes, for example, Xun Yu (or Smoked Fish) is big chunks of bone-​in fish deep fried and then braised in a dark sauce. Speaking of the sauce, most of the dishes we got that night came with a dark sauce that’s a little too sweet for my taste. I can’t say for sure if that’s truly Shanghai style (my family’s from Shanghai but I didn’t grow up there) or it’s adapted to be more Americanized. My palate is definitely more Cantonese.
Service is good and the restaurant is clean. I’d come again!

Whenever I come home, my family and I like to make a sushi yama visit for good measure. My parents and brother don’t have the most acute taste for high quality sushi; they’re very much satisfied with the real basic and not too daring stuff as long as it’s fresh and not so raw that it’s still swimming. Thus, sushi yama is perfect for the amateur sushi goer because it’s not too flashy with its ingredients, but very simple for the less adventurous sampler.
One does not go to sushi yama for mindblowing sushi. Don’t get me wrong; it’s still pretty decent, but the selling point at this restaurant is the bang for your buck. The lunch special is what beckons. For $ 10, you can get all you can eat sushi with a salad and soup (wonton or miso soup). The assortment to choose from is sizable with tempura, cooked, and raw sushi available. They even let you get a to-​go box, which is unique for a buffet style restaurant.
To be honest, I don’t have the stomach to take advantage of a buffet but for a price tag of 10 bucks… It doesn’t even matter. At most sushi places, one roll would cost that much. Do the math, people!

One of the most authentic Chinese food in great plain states I ever had. Very good dining environment and located at a nice area. Definitely go back.

This place is a hidden gem of pretty authentic Chinese food. I came with my mom and we didn’t try any of the sushi, but we tried several of the dishes off of the Chinese menu (by the way, this menu is literally all in Chinese).
The only dish I didn’t like was the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) — it’s 8 tiny dumplings for $ 8 and they’re soupy but not very tasty.
Most of the food off the Chinese menu is Shanghainese. The portion sizes are decent but on the smaller end for the price. Overall, it was a delightful experience — the waitstaff were super friendly and struck up conversation with my mom in Shanghainese and the ambience is simple but clean. If you’re looking for fairly authentic Chinese in Louisville/Superior…this place’s Chinese menu is it.

Highly recommend this place. Been here a couple times. Always friendly service, great atmosphere. It’s a local place that deserves the support. Prices are on par. The only suggestion for the place would be to broaden their fish selection for their specialty rolls. Look forward to trying their happy hour.

The Saturday lunch special is unbeatable. $ 9.95 for all you can eat sushi. Sushi Yama’s great prices and delicious sushi rolls are sure to make me a repeat customer.

Wonderful service, prices, and food. New favorite sushi place! They let us split the lunch special between two people. All you can eat sushi for 9.95. We got three rolls and spilt them. Insanely cheap price for all you can eat sushi. If we did more then 3 rolls in the all you can eat sushi I think we would have to each do the special. Still an incredibly low price either way! Out server was also really nice and when we walked in I think we received «hellos» from everyone on the staff. It was a nice environment to eat in.

This really isn’t good. But! One redemptive moment came when the friendly waitress (the one we didn’t get from the start) was extremely apologetic and brought us ice cream to try and make the situation better.
But what happened is we found a hair in my fiancé’s food. And then the remake had another hair. The other waitress (who we started with) and what I could collect to be the manager were giving us a glare the duration of our visit and laughing as they looked over at our table, all while speaking Japanese.
So basically I wouldn’t come back. And yes, ladies in the corner, I noticed you doing that and I’m sure what you were saying was rude. Despite the hair, I wouldn’t have left a review till I saw you doing that.

Don’t see why their is so many negative reviews. Have had Sushi from here multiple times and have always had a good experience. We’ve dined out, got delivery, and eaten in house — all times were pleasant and happy experiences for us. The staff were very friendly and we commented multiple times how on top of it the hostess was. Very quick and organized.
Definitely get the lunch special if you can. I eat a lot but will normally max out at about 5 rolls. Nonetheless much cheaper than buying everyone individually.

Came here to celebrate Chinese New Year with my mother. Special tip! The restaurant has a secret Chinese menu! If you want some pretty authentic Chinese food, you can ask the host for a Chinese menu. The menu is all in Chinese, so hopefully you can read Chinese yourself, or you know someone who can read Chinese for you!
I think I would come back again, but only for the Chinese food.

We came here after seeing the AYCE sign while eating breakfast a few days ago next door.
For $ 9.99 it wasn’t a bad deal but we definitively weren’t impressed with the food. Unfortunately (as another reviewer said) they don’t have very fresh fish because they don’t have much clientele. At a 1:30 pm lunch, my fiancé and I were the only people in the place. My yellowtail was flavorless and chewy. Ironically, my favorite roll was the one without any fish (pumpkin tempura, yam and date).
Don’t think we’ll be coming back anytime soon…

They make a good effort to put out good sushi, but they just don’t have the traffic to keep and serve super fresh sushi, which sushi needs to be. Their rolls and other meals are all pretty good. It’s good if you live locally, say less than 3 miles, but there’s far better sushi in Boulder and Denver.

Whole Foods has better Sushi than this place. I had the spider roll, the tempura was soggy and tasted watery, like the crab had been frozen and recently thawed. I prefer eating fresh sushi and not frozen sushi. I guess thats why they are open all day until 9pm. Because they don’t have to prep anything. They just take it out if the freezer.

We had a nice lunch here after finding Delvickios closed. One of us had the chicken with broccoli, which was prepared with a brown sauce and served bento style with gyoza. Two of us chose the $ 9.95 all-​you-​can-​eat sushi, but found we were full after the first round of three rolls each. Maybe next time we shouldn’t choose all those tempura and cream cheese laden rolls — my companions don’t actually like raw fish. What?!!
My favorite was the veggie tempura roll, filled with yam, date, and carrot. The unagi roll had a bitter aftertaste — perhaps it was the cucumber. I’m not sure why I chose the Philly roll — it felt more like a sandwich or a bagel with lox than sushi.
It was fun to have something new, but I’ll go back to try more traditional choices — and to make fun of the gutters and downspouts that feature prominently in the décor. In my book, if you’re gonna have downspouts in your restaurant, you really need a water feature.
