Yama Japanese Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in Morgantown - 387 1/2 High St, USA

I've been wanting to visit Yama for months now, and finally got the opportunity to go for dinner on Wednesday. Though their hours are limited, it was well worth the visit. Casual and cozy interior, we ordered our meal at the counter - spicy tuna rolls, miso ramen, the pork cutlet and fried salmon bento boxes. The boxes came with a delicious array of side salads and miso soup, arranged with a lot of care. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their food. All the food was perfectly cooked..highlight for me was the fried salmon, which was super crispy but moist and juicy inside. Absolutely delicious meal and I highly recommend visiting!!

My favorite restaurant in the world. Authentic Japanese diner food in the most unlikely of places. I've frequented Yama since ~2015 after I returned from a study abroad trip to Japan, and the quality has never declined. The service is great, the atmosphere is great, and the food is delicious. I urge you to have a meal at Yama; you won't regret it.

What a find! This casual (order & pay at the counter and then seat yourself) gem should be added to your dining list. We ordered spicy tuna rolls, gyoza, shrimp udon and an eel bowl. Everything was fresh and tasty. Yum! I’m sorry we will only be in town overnight because other menu items caught my eye. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Got the shoyu ramen - broth was rich and flavorful and the pork melted in my mouth. I don’t tend to like pork in ramen much but this was just absolutely incredible. 10/10

Me and my wife had a date night and hit this place up after a movie. Food was really good and the customer service was what you hope for! Highly recommend!

Normally I would lessen the stars for atmosphere because it is small and crowded but here it really works for the feel. The food was excellent and authentic. The workers were so kind and pleasant. This is a must visit. The only negative are the unusual hours.

What a fantastic little place! Was lucky enough to come through town when they were open. Had a fantastic dinner for a *very* reasonable price. I got vegetable udon (photo), my husband got yaki soba, and we shared an order of veg gyōza. YUM.

Nothing short of killer food. I went with The Spicy Tuna Roll and Chicken Teriyaki. If you’re in Morgantown and you’re lucky enough to catch Yama before they run out of food for the day, eat here! Service ***** Food *****
