Yama

I’ve travelled between Burlington, Vermont and Boston, Massachusetts dozens of times. Typically, we stop in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, for lunch. It’s about half-way and is one of the few towns with a number of restaurants.

On my most recent trip for the New Year’s Holiday, we discovered the Yama Restaurant, at 96 Main Street (phone, I believe, is (603) 298-5477). They serve excellent Korean and Japanese food at reasonable prices with extraordinarily-responsive service and a large number of vegetarian options. They even noticed that we ordered vegetarian entrees and brought only accompanying vegetarian condiments. Apparently, the restaurant came under new management about a year ago and expanded their cuisine. They don’t advertise but instead rely on word of mouth to attract customers.

So I thought I would do my part with the “word of mouth” thing by posting this recommendation here. Perhaps someone, someday will do a google search for “west lebanon vegetarian restaurant” and this page will appear. I’m pretty sure it’s the best restaurant I’ve been to in the state of New Hampshire.
