YamaChen's Sushi

We ended up here for an unplanned dinner with a party of 9 after we had a change in plans and no reservations. The team working figured out a seating arrangement for us without fuss! It was our first time at this location, a more cozy place than the other yamas we've been to.The service and food were top-notch. Since I'm not a sushi fan, I had the spicy chicken; everyone else enjoyed their meals and appetizers.

Amazing servise and amazing meal it does match with your expectations for pricing. Service is great and the ambiance makes you feel you are in Japan. It is a very quint place and peaceful you can even meditate

This is one of my must visits when back in the Hampton Roads area. I stopped in for a quick bite and was not disappointed. The edamame was simple, delicious, and just good. The avocado salad was good as usual but the presentation was not as elaborate. My roll was delicious and just the right serving. My taste buds want more but I know I would end up over eating. Looking forward to my next visit.

Stopped into YamaChen's Sushi yesterday with my youngest && it did not disappoint! When we walked in around noon we were greeted by a friendly waitress who immediately sat us at a booth. The atmosphere was welcoming && the restaurant was obviously clean and well maintained. We were provided menus and a sealed "pouch" containing a napkin, chopsticks and a toothpick- I loved the idea. We started with an Avocado Salad for an appetizer and the waitress provided us some complimentary edamame. The avocado salad was the perfect balance && we both really enjoyed it. For main courses I opted for two rolls - Hawaii Roll and Crazy Volcano roll. Both were new for me and both were bursting with flavor. Freshly prepared and perfectly presented. My daughter opted for the Chicken Ramen which again, knocked it out of the park on the presentation. It was huge! Filled with veggies, chicken, imitation crab, plenty of noodles and a hard boiled egg. The portion was easily two meals and absolutely delicious. We did not have room for dessert, but they do offer it. We were highly impressed with the fantastic customer service, the speed at which we received our food and the overall flavor and quality of the food. I will for sure be stopping by again and suggest you check it out!

First I'd like to thank the staff and chef for a wonderful lunch today. Walking into a slice of Japan in Va Beach as you pass through a beautiful wooden pergola with accents of fresh blooming cherry blossoms was a great way to start.The host was very friendly and we enjoyed our appetizer of crisp edamame and crunchy golden spring rolls.The steamed dumplings were perfectly made and the filling was well seasoned.Volcano Roll, Shrimp Tempura, and California Roll were the entree. Perfectly balanced and executed with passion!The unexpected treat at the end was a delicious and pleasant surprise, of cheesecake bites. I definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone interested in freshly prepared sushi while in Virginia Beach.Thank you for the meal!RQ

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. I was seated right away.....it wasn't busy. The waitress was nice but sadly only lunch specials Monday-Friday. She did bring me complimentary edamame. I ordered 2 rolls, The Iron Man and Spicy Tuna. I also ordered the gyoza because I had a free appetizer. Everything came out very quickly. I loved the sauce for my steamed Gyozas. My rolls came quickly and I loved the presentation with a fresh flower and even a small portion of seaweed salad. I didn't love the imitation crab on top. Even though I know it's imitation I would rather have it in a salad then huge chunks on top of my roll. I had to order more Wasabi because it was not very strong. I never had that clear your sinuses moment that you get from Wasabi. The waitress brought out a small complimentary cheesecake bite which was the perfect amount after a filling lunch. I would go back and recommend.

When I walked in customers were at tables eating so it was quite busy it was ok I could wait I was not in a rush, waitress got my order for to go down I got the california roll and Philly roll lunch and I wanted it to go but I wanted raw but than its too hot outside to take raw fish home so i got the cooked fish instead. Waited for a bit very nice. Still delicious eating it at home. Will go back in a few weeks again.

Amazing experience great food! Yum!!!!!!100% A+ came here with family to eat. It was my wife bday trip to VA Beach. We stopped here to eat. Really really really good!!!Spicy tuna rolls were yummy!!!!Delicious. If we come back to VA beach, we will definitely stop here again!!!!:)

New restaurant, great food. Will definitely be back. Nice owners too!Glad we got a great place to grab sushi near the mall now, cause really the other places aren't nearly as good as this.

Came here for lunch today with two 11 year olds and we had the best time. We were seated right away and given some delightful complimentary edamame. We ordered the boat combo and it was as awesome as we hoped for! Beautiful presentation, fresh fish, well crafted rolls. 10/10 will come back again. We were playing uno while we waited for our food and some of the kids there joined us! They were fun to hang out with. Great atmosphere.
