YAMA, which in Japanese means "mountain", paying homage to the restaurant's location on Rue de la Montagne, and the ancient belief that the mountain is at the heart of resources such as fresh water and necessary nutrients to well-being.
Designed with natural materials that draws inspiration from the mountainous regions explored during Chef Antonio Park's long journeys, YAMA will offer you a pan-Asian menu and cocktails designed to be sensory, elevated and special.
Yama offers a refined and vibrant dining experience with standout sushi, fresh flavors, and a polished atmosphere; the service is typically attentive and the cocktail program and breakfast are well received. Many visits praise the consistency of the food and the welcoming staff, making it a reliable choice for special meals or celebrations. Some reviews note that prices are high for the value and that service can be inconsistent or slow at times, especially during busy periods. Overall, Yama is frequently regarded as a top downtown option that can impress with its quality and ambiance, but potential guests should be prepared for premium pricing and occasional service quirks.
Had the contential breakfast with my husband who is a diamond member & also a hilton team member. The croissantt was cold not even room temperature. We had only one fruit plate betweeb the two us while single customers had the same fruit plate. Had to ask the waiter for side plates like come on fancy restaurant & we have to ask for things! Even the conficture " jams butter also just to assemble this breakfast of a fruit plate & some croissants that where baked day ahead & served straight from the fridge.

Wonderful food. Lackluster service. The pace of service was terrible. The restaurant was half empty at most & it took 2 hours to complete a meal with one drink, two apps & two mains. The wagyu sando is a must order. Everything else was decent considering the price they're charging. The ambiance is beautiful.
Restaurant ambiance is very classy & warm, you would expect high end food but the offering is quite average. There's no plating effort. My crab risotto was very salty. Server was not very knowledgeable or efficient. Disappointed.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this incredible restaurant! The food was not only excellent but incredibly tasty. The staff was super friendly & attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable, & the ambiance was truly spectacular. Don't forget to order a cocktail-they are top-notch & add the perfect touch to an already amazing meal. Highly recommend!
Excellent food, ok service, expensive but well worthed. Only complaint are the chairs, the person who chose them never sat in them, not comfortable at all. Beautiful restaurant.

Unique selection of food & drinks & very friendly service. The drinks are a bit on the pricier side, but the food surprisingly not. Got the risotto with wild crab & it was delicious. Would definitely go back!
Omg!!!! J'ai passé une magnifique soirée chez Yama!!! Le repas parfaitement bien fait au point j'ai commandé une deuxième assiette pour emporter. Le service avec Bastien Woow!!! Coup de champeau à toi & nous allons y revenir & demander d'être servi par toi. You are the best!!! Ma Soeur & moi on s'est éclaté de rire alors de fou rire avec toi, nous étions tellement alaise!! & le shooter partagé avec nous. Belle attention 👏🏾👏🏾Merci encore. Tu as fais de notre première fois pas une dernière .... Merci d'avoir jouer le bon arbitre de qui, qui paie entre moi & ma Soeur. Tu es juste génial Bastien!!!! Chapeau aussi à Simon & Jules avec leur précieuse attention!!! Wow. Je recommande ce restaurant absolument.
Honestly, the food is very good! But the service is the worst I've had in my life! We waited more than an hour & a half for them to bring the tickets, & they had not even brought bread during that hour & a half! They brought the bread & they didn't bring plates, we finished the bread & they brought the plate when there was nothing to eat anymore! the orders did not come complete!! They did not pick up the empty glasses, they did not clean the table between one service & another! not to mention the time to ask for the account !! It is the second time that I go to the restaurant both times the waiting time has been more than an hour !!! complete chaos,
