UV Food

Located in an unassuming building in the back of an office park, Yama offers some of the best Asian cooking you'll find in the area.

Many restaurants that serve Japanese food also offer a few Korean dishes; Yama offers a good balance of Korean and Japanese. You'll find the usual assortment of sushi plus a few specialties specific to Yama. You'll also find the normal Japanese dishes - edamame (steamed soybeans), shumai, tempura, teriyaki, katsu (breaded, fried chicken or pork cutlet), miso soup, udon and soba noodle dishes.

If you're less familiar with Korean cooking, you might enjoy kimchi (fermented spicy cabbage, which some people love and some peoplehate), mandu soup (dumplings in a flavorful beef broth), japchae (sweet potato noodles stir-fried with vegetables and meat), bibimbab (vegetables, beef, an egg and a spicy sauce), bulgoki (thinkly sliced beef) or kalbi (beef short ribs).

While hot food lovers will likely think that Yama isn't much spicier than anywhere else in the area, if you're sensitive to hot foods then be aware that when Yama says something is spicy, it is spicier than it might be at other area restaurants.

Their barley tea is a very pleasant change from the generic Chinese restaurant tea and the mulchy green tea that most Japanese restaurants serve.

Yama gets busy at lunch and dinner time and there's often a wait. If you're pressed for time, you might want to consider a takeout order from them.
