YAMA is a Japenese restaurant located in Vogue Hotel. This was a convenient & easy option for us since we stayed at Vogue. We dined at YAMA our first evening & were pleasantly surprised. The menu had many vegetarian options for us, which we appreciated. Even for a Sunday evening, the bar & restaurant were steadily busy.
We ordered:
Starters: edamame & vegetable gyoza. The edamame was classic. The vegetable gyoza were cooked crispy & was served in a shallow bowl with a coriander infused citrus sauce. It was tasty, & balanced well.
Small plate/side: midori no ha maki roll is a vegetarian roll with fresh veggies, wrapped in lettuce as opposed to traditional seaweed. It was a simple roll with a burst of freshness. We ordered the truffle fries because our server said they were amazing. They did not disappoint.
Entree: we ordered the roasted eggplant for our entree. We did not know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised. The eggplant is cooked so well that it melts in your mouth. It was topped various wild mushrooms cooked differently (i.e. some crispy). It was a mild dish packed with a lot of flavor.
Dessert: For dessert we ordered the chocolate praline mousse. This was insane. Imagine a hard chocolate shell bomb with a mousse filling. The exterior was a chocolate & hazelnut shell. This dessert satisfies all cravings: chocolate, crunchy, & crispy.
We were very pleased with the vegetarian options at YAMA.

The only downside is the price. You are paying hotel prices to dine here, but that should be expected.

Okay the main thing that we loved about this place was our waiter's attention to detail, RON was the hero of this evening. We were having supper with our kids & he was very kind & attentive to their needs. You would find him holding the water bottle before we put the empty cup down. Once he saw the plates empty, the next meal was already coming to our table.

Then the food came & we understood the hype about this place. Everything was FRESH & tasty. We definitely are coming back for their sushi.

Live jazz was playing the place smelled so nice, the ambience & the decor was 10/10 & the large varieties on the me u was just the cherry on top.

Don't overthink, reserve your table.. you won't regret it.

NOTE: This is a two-for-one review...we visited Yama during a soft opening in mid April 2023 but they had not yet set up their Google Maps link at the time so I was unable (& eventually forgot) to write a review. We returned for New Year morning 2024 brunch & are now combining the two reviews together. First...the overall architectural style of Yama is modern, bright & sophisticated. You certainly sense you are going to enjoy some fine dining as you enter the restaurant. It is divided into multiple small sections that help convey a more intimate atmosphere (& prevent noise pollution) but there are a number of glass walls that help keep the restaurant airy. Overall, a definite positive in styling & design. DINNER: Visiting during a soft opening period in April 2023, we had a glorious & overwhelming meal. With a bottle of Antonio Park's sake at the ready, our dinner started with the Seasonal Salad (very good), the Toro Tiradito (very good) & a massive Seafood Platter...out of this world in volume & all excellent (see pictures for reference)..finishing off with a chocolate hazelnut mousse cake (delicious). A truly wonderful evening & great & friendly service. BREAKFAST: Several months later, on Jan 1, we visited for a morning breakfast which was understandably quiet (considering all the New Year's Eve revelry before). For this meal we had the Korean Short Rib Eggs Benedict (excellent...very tasty), the Banana Foster Waffle (very good), the English Breakfast (excellent) coupled with a side plate of fruits & a chocolatine. Every was great. Service was good too. Overall, a fun place to go & enjoy either an evening or a breakfast. Enjoy!
