How to book Yamada

   Be flexible on the night and time

   Prime-time weekend tables at Yamada go first. Weeknights, early seatings and late seatings are the easiest to find.

   Watch for cancellations

   When Yamada shows nothing open, plans still change. Tables come back when other diners cancel, often a day or two ahead, and they go fast.
