Last inspected: Sep 26, 2025

Score

Low Risk

Yama has been inspected seven times since 2023. Yama was last inspected on Sep 26, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “floor/ceiling/wall/vents soiled/has accumulation of debris” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Compared to the broader Middleburg restaurant scene, this is about average. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
