Yama Sushi
About
Yama Sushi is a small sushi bar on Gore Creek Drive in the pedestrian heart of Vail Village. The room is compact, about ten tables plus eight seats at the sushi bar, dressed in red and black with upbeat music that stays under the conversation.
That size shapes the visit. It suits couples, friends and small groups who want a sushi dinner within a short walk of their village lodging, and it rewards planning: in ski season, a table is worth booking rather than hoping for.
On the menu
The kitchen covers the classics and the house rolls. A 2025 Vail Daily review singled out tai (Japanese red sea bream) sashimi, hand-formed nigiri, poke dressed with spicy sesame oil, the Beach Break roll with fried shrimp, coconut, mango and cilantro, and a spider roll with tempura soft-shell crab, alongside small plates such as miso soup, edamame and tempura. Menus change, so treat these as a guide.
Choosing a seat
With so few tables, the eight sushi-bar seats are the natural choice for one or two diners, while groups should call ahead. The same review credits a long-serving team of sushi chefs and servers who are happy to steer first-timers through the menu.
Planning your visit
Yama currently lists dinner service only, with evening hours through most of the week; the restaurant's own website is offline, so confirm by phone before you walk over. Exact hours as listed online are in the FAQ below.
