The other two ordered the omakase. They were so sweet to use the spiral stand for both of our entrees.

We came back to this beautiful place for Restaurant Week. You need to climb a lot of stairs to get to the entrance, but it's worth the hike. The service is amazing - the server was able to convince the sushi chef to use the only 2 stands they have in the restaurant for our omakase entrees. The food is delicious, the broth was tasty in the ramen, and the sushi was fresh. I love the beautiful artwork, especially the sake tree by the waiting area. Aside from having only 1 restroom for everyone to share, it was a wonderful experience. I will definitely come back for more!

The food is fine, nothing special but not bad either. Tourists like coming here since it's close to Times Square. I was in the area running errands and wanted a casual ramen spot. They have happy hour deals even on the weekend. We walked in for Saturday lunch. I got a small carafe of hot sake for $7. I tried the kimchi ramen and chicken katsu bun. Both were fine.

We had the shoyu ramen with chicken and it was sooooo good and just what we needed after being out in the NYC snow. Would definitely recommend!

Let me start by saying our dishes were very good. We had made reservations for dinner after the Radio City Christmas Spectacular (highly recommend) since it is nearby. It is located on the 2nd floor with decent seating. Since it was winter, it was nice that there is a coat rack. We ordered the double braised pork, kale salad, California roll for appetizers. They have Happy Hour specials daily which we took advantage. We also ordered a few ramen bowls and unagi don bowl. Service was efficient and attentive. When we asked for the check, the bill showed they automatically added a tip of 18% and on the bottom of the bill shows suggested tips. We proceeded to pay by CC and on the merchant copy of the receipt the tip line was crossed out so I couldn't change the tip. So they lost out on a bigger tip. Oh well...Now I know I have another option before a show at Radio City besides Potbelly sandwiches.

Possibly the worst bowl of ramen I have had in NYC, and I have had a lot. Dirty dish water is what I recall.

I came here for lunch on a Sunday right about when they opened at 12 pm. The restaurant was up a long flight of stairs. I guess that's very apropos with their restaurant name. I seemed to be their first customer of the day as the place was empty. After looking over their menu, I ordered edamame and a bowl of tonkotsu ramen. Overall, the bowl of ramen was decent. The broth was flavorful and the ajitama was properly cooked, however the bamboo was way too sweet and the noodles were a bit overcooked. I prefer my noodles to be firm. Service was good. If I decide to return, I would try something else on their menu.

I found Yama Ramen while trying to find a spot to have a quick dinner before our show at Radio City. It was Valentine's Day, so I pickings were a little slim. I was able to make a reservation for Yama Ramen online for our table of 5 a few days before. Only 2 of us were on time, but they sat us anyways, which was very nice of them.The food, though, left much to be desired. I had the tsukemen, which was the saddest I've ever had. I'm pretty sure they just used their standard tonkatsu broth and served me hot, sticky ramen on the side. The noodles hot, sticky, and overcooked. The broth was watery and flavorless. The egg was decidedly hard boiled and not gooey. My friend had the gyoza, which looked like they came from the microwave.The worst part was when my friend ordered the chicken wings, and the waitress came back to tell us they didn't have it today and were sold out. Halfway through our meal, we saw another table get an order of chicken wings. So clearly they weren't sold out?The next time I'm in the area for a show, I would definitely not eat again at Yama.

Here for restaurant week, the staffs are friendly. The restaurant is located in the second floor. The lunch or dinner is $30 per person for the ramen or you can order the sushi for $45. We reserved via Open Table however, they took us right in and seated us even though we came in early. For appetizer:- Yama Wings: their fried wings with soy and sesame pepper are very crispy and delicious.- Lka Karage: their deep fried squid comes with spicy mayo to dip is also very crispy, tastes like calamari. For ramen:- Shoyu Ramen: their broth is rich also tasted sweet, would recommend getting their Shoyu Ramen. It also comes with corn. - Tonkotsu Ramen: their broth is a little on the saltier side but also very delicious.For desserts:- Two matcha mochi ice cream per personWould recommend eating here!

The ramen here was decent but could have used a bit more spice. The ambiance was nice, though it wasn't particularly memorable.

Food: I ordered the chicken katsu bun, miso soup, and the sweet potato roll. The chicken katsu bun was amazing, miso soup and sweet potato roll were average. Fair priced.Service: Service was a bit slow but the servers were accommodating and nice. Ambiance: It was very cute inside! Authentic decor and seating.
