If a restaurant is going to make you wait a couple of hours, mix up the waiting parties, and give you cramped service in a cramped space, the sushi better be good. But Yama's sushi isn't good; its just big.
Yes, the pieces are gargantuan but the fish is tasteless, the rice even more so, dried out with rice kernels falling all over the place, not memorably melting in your mouth. Its sushi on an assembly line.
For good sushi, a cramped and crowded space is worth it. Just try Mishimi, you'll forget you're eating in a shoebox. You don't mind a long wait and the waiters getting the parties mixed up once you taste the bluefin toro at Nada.
Next time I want excellent sushi, I'll be inconvenienced by Nada or Mishimi and at least get good fish.
Pros: size????
Cons: tasteless fish, rice that fell apart, long wait/bad service
