This place was a great pit stop, and not a big detour from the highway. Lots of fresh vegetables, the tofu was delicious, and they make a homemade teriyaki sauce which is truly lovely! The portion sizes are quite large and service was quick!

This unassuming takeout place makes the best sushi platter (36 pieces) I’ve had in New England, outside of a few gems in Boston & Worcester. Nothing fancy; they just do it right because they seem to care...a lot. The rice is seasoned properly. The fish is cut properly, and is proportionate. The price is also proportionate to the amount of high quality food that’s served. It is clear that this is a restaurant guided by high principles...it simply doesn’t make sense that this gem is tucked away in the back of a parking lot in rural NH/VT! As a family business, I sincerely hope that you’re reminded often of the excellent food that you make. I was warmed by the obvious pride you have for your product. See you tomorrow!

Don’t know why we waited so long to come here but I’m glad we finally did! The Green Monster: fresh & yummy. I get why people recommend this restaurant for their sushi. Jjamppong: perfect for the rainy weather & had a nice deep flavor. Tangsooyuk: yummy & I was surprised how crispy juicy the pork was Staff are very friendly and warm. Has a cute and cozy vibe inside. Definitely will be added to our rotation of regular restaurants

The place was crowded, but we were seated immediately. The staff was friendly. The sushi was fresh and the food came out fast. The specials at the end of the menu are delicious, and the quality of meat is really good. Scallion pancake appetizer is also delicious. This place is really good, especially compared to the already good Sushiya. I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for an authentic, delicious Korean meal!

Great place! I use to visit pre-COVID and now they are back open with limited dine in service (you order at the cashier station and they will bring out food to your table). All of their food is just as good as I'd remember and the only place you can Korean cuisine for miles. The owners and front person are super nice. The place was clean and the proportions (and flavor) are worth the price. They also take allergies seriously which I appreciated! If you like Korean food and sushi you shouldn't be disappointed. Just remember to get some Banchan (side vegetables) as they no longer serve all the side dishes with your meal since COVID so you have to specify.

Best sushi and food in the upper valley, nothing beats this place hands down amazing. Very authentic, quick and easy and been a staple here in west leb for many many years and hopefully many many more to come! Thank you Yama for being a gem in the upper valley!

Cute little family-run restaurant in the Upper Valley with good food. They don't offer dine-in, but the take out is pretty good. Ordered the pork bulgoki and bibimbap and was pretty satisfied. Price was slightly on the higher side (35 for 2 people). They offered free candy for valentine's day, which I thought was pretty cute. PS: I ordered on the phone and they gave me a wait time of 1h. I don't know if that was due to v-day rush, or if that's the usual scene. But the ordering part itself was pretty hassle free. PPS: excellent covid safety protocols.
