We’ve all picked up grocery store sushi in a pinch, but what you’ll find at Yama is a cut above. The third outpost of this Japanese market mini-chain sells freshly made sushi to-go at prices that won’t make you spiral. Most rolls hover around $7-8, and the sushi rice in them stays surprisingly fluffy even after refrigeration. There’s also a seafood counter where the chefs slice sashimi by weight, plus shelves stocked with Japanese snacks, pantry goods, mochi, and tea. Yama is a quick lunch option worth going out of your way for—grab a roll or order a bento box at the front and scarf it down with a yuzu soda at one of the umbrella-covered tables out front. Or don’t. This stuff travels.
