I've lived in NYC for 17 years and have tried many sushi places, from Nobu (I'd put a ""Boo!"" in Nobu) to the local low-end joint. Yama is hands down the best. For a humorous but insightful review of Yama, go to this site: lgreport.blogspot(dot com)/2010/01/lg-report-restaurant-review-best-sushi and you'll see why this place rocks. I shouldn't be telling you this since it will only increase my waiting time but it's just a great place....enjoy!
Pros: Big Fresh Pieces, Awesome Spicy Mayo
Cons: Doesn't Take Reservations, Waits Can Be Long - But Worth It
