I really enjoy coming to this place for their sushi. Their portions are generous and food is always fresh. The rice is served at room temp and the fish is cold. Service leaves a bit to be desired but the food, which is what we come here for anyway, is exceptional. They have a new play area for kiddies but the menu caters for a more adult palette. 10/10 would come again.
This is honestly a hidden gem...
Its not traditional Chinese, Thai or Japanese but they make some of the best fresh sushi with high grade ingredients in JHB.
Pricing is reasonable & I highly recommend the Sushi Buffet at R239 per a person
Only gripe is the atmosphere while clean is often cold in winter.
Great Thai curries and must try Prawn tempura.
Delicious sushi and very affordable. Love the fact that they have a sushi belt. Nice and clean and helpful staff. Weekday local.
Went there last night to celebrate our daughter's 20th birthday, because she LOVES Sushi. There are a variety of ways in which you can enjoy your sushi there. Order from the menu, use the conveyor belt system or go for an all-you-can eat buffet.
My hubby and l were a little more "boring" in our choices (although we do love sushi). My hubby went for the sweet and sour prawns with rice, and thoroughly enjoyed that. I had the chicken fried rice. Both my hubby and I ate a very generous portion - and both meals were great.
Our daughter ordered salmon maki rolls and salmon california rolls - and loved them! She eats like a bird, so these 8 pieces served her very well. She then went on to have the fried ice-cream, and loved that too. I opted for a bow tie and enjoyed it.
The place is busy, but not rushed. There seem to be a regular clientele who pop in, grab some of the plates on the conveyor belt, and kind of leave it at that.
The decor is tasteful and pleasant. Our waitress was a lovely young lady, full of smiles and cheer, without being too intrusive. All in all, a lovely evening!
Blu bird is a really nice little shopping centre and Yamada was perfect for lunch. I really enjoyed the yamada roof and I think I also had the yamada 4x4 (something with prawns) however, I personally found the sriracha tuna rolls a bit too sweet and strange. (Please bear in mind I am not a cream cheese in my sushi girly). Service was attentive and good.
I thoroughly enjoy this restraunt, it is reasonably priced eventhough it's in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Gauteng. The chefs are highly skilled and the sushi tastes better than practically anywhere else I've had sushi on all 5 continents (most of the time) if you haven't already tried Yamada out, what are you waiting for. It's romantic but relaxed, it's quick yet the food is prepared with skill and attention. It's all win win here
Food is good and tasty, service is great and they are very accommodating. It can be very noisy inside and the phones are often ringing constantly, so often better to sit outside
Very good food and service, area is a little cramped, but nothing inconveniencing, they're just busy
Fairly good Sushi, price is slightly higher, but convenience when you want some Sushi nearby.
Great tasting and good selection of fresh sushi that was very reasonably priced,-got take away as the sushi conveyer hasn't been working since post covid.ill be back
