Absolutely loved the experience at Yamashiro. We walked through the gardens out front and ate sushi on the deck overlooking the city. Our server was honest about which rolls we would most enjoy and which might let us down - and he nailed it. Also, the entire restaurant was decorated for Halloween, which was a nice surprise. We will definitely be back!

I was visiting LA for the first time and actually discovered this restaurant on TikTok. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but WOW—it was amazing! The atmosphere was so endearing, and being high up on the mountain made the experience even more special. The only downside was the narrow drive up, which was a little intimidating, but trust me, it’s worth it for the stunning view once you arrive. For drinks, I had the Hibiscus Highball and the Honey Buck—both refreshing and perfectly balanced. To start, we ordered the gluten-free avocado crispy sticky rice and the edamame truffle dumplings. If you’re a truffle fan, the dumplings are an absolute must-try. For sushi, I ordered the Basil Baked Salmon, which was delicious, but I also tried a bite of my friend’s Creamy Shrimp Roll and it completely blew me away. Next time I’ll definitely be getting that one for myself! This restaurant is a 10/10 in my book—I’d absolutely go back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting LA.

A birthday celebration. I’ve been here many times since the 80’s. It was truly a beautiful restaurant around Hollywood. But after pandemic, for me this place seems to be a regular restaurant to go. Yes, the views are great. Service was fine and food was okay, not really great like used to be many years ago. We ordered Brussels sprouts and it was salty sand with garlic noodle. Sushi was okay.

Came for the view with my boyfriend and we were not disappointed! Our server, Mike, was the funniest and friendliest guy—he and my boyfriend even bonded over the Buffalo Bills. He recommended the Kobeyashi cocktail (so good!) and suggested starting with the garlic noodles to share, which were delicious. We finished with the small boat, which was more than enough for the two of us. We’ll definitely be back to try the donuts Mike recommended, but we were way too full this time. Amazing experience all around!

We had an incredible experience at Yamashiro Sushi! The food was absolutely perfect—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our server, TJ, was so friendly and attentive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is amazing, with such a unique and relaxing vibe that adds to the whole dining experience. As a Subway owner, I can confidently say their customer service is absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to come back!

We absolutely love this place! We celebrated my birthday here, and everything was perfect. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, and the atmosphere is fantastic sitting at the top of the hill with a stunning city view and a beautiful Japanese-style design. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but you definitely get what you pay for. It’s one of those places you’d visit for special occasions rather than regularly. We ordered the sushi yacht for a group of eight, and honestly, we couldn't even finish it!
