I visited you for the first time the day before.
The appearance of the food was gorgeous, delicate, and really cute, and the taste was delicious (o˘◡︎˘o)♪︎
I was surprised that it was so cheap. I can't drink alcohol, so I don't often go to restaurants like this, but when I asked them over the phone, they said it's okay even if you can't drink alcohol.
The head chef even went out of his way to explain the dishes. I'll see you off on the way home.
I would like to visit you again in autumn and winter.
Thank you for the meal.

If I hadn't ordered the mixed sashimi plate, I wouldn't have rated this as high.
The rolls were not great, average at best. The "spicy tuna" was not spicy at all. It was just a tiny squirt of off-brand sriracha on each roll. Was more like ketchup than hot sauce. I don't know why I always expect spicy mayo here in Portugal when I have never seen it at any Japanese restaurant. (Only --randomly-- a seafood restaurant.)
The California roll was shrimp, not (imitation) crab like it should be.
So, if it had been based on that, not good. There isn't a huge variety of offerings, which is fairly typical for Japanese restaurants in the Algarve.
However, eventually our mixed sashimi platter came. IT HAD EEL!!! The elation I felt finally seeing something other than salmon was unmatched so far in Portugal lol. You don't get much eel, but at least it's something! It also had shrimp and a whitefish, slightly seared, which was tasty. Total bonus points for actually having some diversity in the platter AND doing their best to make it look pretty as well. A lot of attention went into it and I appreciate that very much.
The tuna was impeccable. Beautifully smooth. Best I've had here, and honestly, better than most tuna sashimi I've had elsewhere as well, including expensive sushi places.
Very tempted to try the hot banana dessert next time too.

I recently dined at Yama sushi bar and it was an exceptional experience for my family and me. From the moment we stepped in, the ambience set the perfect tone for a memorable evening. The restaurant exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it ideal for a family gathering.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the sushi! The sushi at Yama sushi bar was nothing short of amazing. Each piece was a work of art, and the freshness of the ingredients truly shone through. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or trying it for the first time, you won't be disappointed. They offer a wide variety of options, catering to all tastes. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff making sure our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. They provided helpful suggestions and made us feel right at home.

Found this sushi spot on our way back from the beach. They were gracious enough to let us sit down and eat 20 minutes before their closing time. Great sushi and the staff were friendly.
