Coming from California it has been difficult to find a good sushi place. However YamaChen’s has exceeded all expectations. They are always kind, very homey feeling and super delicious. The rolls are tight and fresh! Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — My favorite spot

*2021-02-28*

I’ve been going here for a while now and only one time I had an issue which was Very quickly corrected and they went above and beyond. The food is always good and the people are always nice. Definitely my favorite spot!

### 4/5 — Rewards can not be applied

*2020-11-01*

As the title says, I was unable to apply the rewards I have. Unable to do so through the app or the website. They seem to not register on the checkout screen.

### 3/5 — Love YamaChen but not so much the app

*2020-07-22*

Was excited for the app and rewards. The red writing and back background is very hard to see. When I tried to place order before open time it wouldn’t let me place a later time without backing all the way out. If there is a certain amount of time needed then tell me the earliest pick up time for later. Ended up waiting until restaurant opened to place order. Had to clear completely and start order again to get it to work. 
Yama Chen’s is amazing!!  The food is worth the issues I had with app.

### 1/5 — App isn’t functional

*2026-01-30*

I tried to place a delivery order with the app but every time I’ve tried to pick an item, it makes me go back to the address section and won’t even let me put in my address details. Even when I was able to put my address details, it wouldn’t let me confirm it and would send me back to the start of the menu. I like the food but this app keeps glitching out on me no matter what I do.

### 1/5 — Stole my money!

*2020-10-05*

When I first downloaded the app I created my account and loaded it with money. After that I was not able to stay logged in and the app shuts down every time. I am unable to use the money I loaded onto my account! And the app has been broken for many iOS updates… I don’t think it’ll ever be fixed! Refund please!

### 1/5 — App problems

*2020-08-24, version 20.27.2020051902*

We visit you all regularly and the food is top notch, but we are giving you 1star because your app keeps crashing every time I logged in. Can you please fix immediately because we alot of money here and like the rewards points

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2020-07-28, version 20.27.2020051902*

When I open APP it continues to close out on it’s own. I was able to place one online APP order and now it won’t stay open.

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2020-07-22, version 20.27.2020051902*

I haven’t gotten to use it yet because it won’t stay open. Will continue to order through the website instead

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-06-21*

Just downloaded the app seeing that it was available after picking up a to go order! Food was amazing as usual but this app will not open. Try to log in crashes. Try to access other parts of the app, crashes. Close then reopen app, crashes. I really want to get the most out of this app since hubs and I are always doing online orders. I’ll keep waiting for the app!

### 2/5 — Sorely disappointed

*2022-08-27*

As far as the presentation of the food was great.  The curtesy of the counter was beyond exceptional.  The food felt and tasted above room temperature warm & I only ordered sushi.  The wasbi was hard.  I’m glad I keep some on hand at the house.  Overall I would go somewhere else for sushi!  Now this was at the store on N. Mall dr in Virginia Beach.

### 2/5 — Love the food! The app, not so much.

*2020-10-24*

We run into an issue every time we use the app to order. It doesn’t recognize our address one time and then won’t apply the rewards another. It’s also hard to read the words due to the black and red background and writing. It has potential but it’s not an app I’d recommend using.

### 3/5 — Reorder gone

*2026-01-11, version 25.28.2025111302*

Please return the function to reorder from previous order history and view previous orders

### 3/5 — Slow app

*2020-09-21, version 20.27.2020051902*

It works but very slow.

Very few times have I ever had a new place surprise me, and just for reference I’m VERY picky about sushi! The meal was wonderful from start to finish with delicious complimentary spring rolls and cheese cake deserts. Wow just amazing service!!!

### 5/5 — Best sushi in the beach

*2021-10-24*

Been going here since it opened at the general booth location. The size of the rolls have gotten smaller with the success and expansion, but the quality has never wavered.
