General
Yama has three Los Angeles locations: San Gabriel (911 W Las Tunas Dr), West LA / Mar Vista (11709 National Blvd), and Koreatown (3178 W Olympic Blvd). A fourth location in Sherman Oaks is planned.
San Gabriel is open every day 11am–7pm. West LA and Koreatown are open every day 11am–8pm. Yama is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.
