Reviews for Yamashiro Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA
There are very few places that give you an experience like this. Everything about this restaurant is top notch. The view, the... atmosphere, food, service, and ambience. It's all 5 stars! We decided to sot outside and enjoy the view, but there's also anamazing garden area for an even more tranquil dinner. Our server (Laura?) Was a delight. She shared all her favorite items andgave great recommendations. They have 3 separate kitchens so food came out at different times. Which was nice. Every thing wasamazing. Great flavors and prepared to perfection. An absolute MUST when in the area! I mean just look at that view! Read more
A great time for our anniversary (they even surprised us with anniversary champagne) thanks for looking at my special request!... The views are marvelous and the ambience is amazing. We had a great table and Joey our waiter went above and beyond for us.Everything we had food wise was highly recommended by him including the Chef Val Special & Cowboy Steak. All the food was justdone very well, our personal favorite was the baked Lobster sushi roll. With that being said nothing food wise knocked our socksoff like we were hoping. Kudos to the bartender up front who made an impromptu “surprise” welcome drinks for us that wasperfect start to our time and nice to walk around with. Thanks guys. We will be back. Read more
Unforgettable experience and delicious food. We got seated earlier than our reservation time which was pleasantly unexpected.... The calamari was fresh and crispy, the dragon roll was classic, but the spicy prawn noodles stole the show. The cocktails weregreat, although I can’t remember for the life of me what they were called. Our waitress was amazing! She was attentive,extremely helpful with good suggestions, and even gave us a small cheesecake and parfait as a birthday treat. She was 5-starsall around. The views are incredible. The restaurant overlooks a hill, and it’s themed to a traditional Japanese style.Parking for us was valet, so I can’t speak for self-parking. Great restaurant, and I would return again. Read more
Excellent restaurant, in a great location, with no less amazing views! All of Hollywood and Beverly Hills is ??in front of you.... Must arrive by car. The place is clean, the service is meticulous and professional in a young atmosphere. The dishes I tastedwere balanced, rich in flavors and in keeping with the modern Japanese style so prevalent today. In conclusion, this is awonderful place to have a Japan style diner and highly recommended. 5 stars without a doubt! Read more
Really wanted to love this place - there is a lot of potential for an amazing experience (and I’m sure people have great... ones), but it just wasn’t it for us. Let me start by saying that the views, ambiance, and drinks are exceptional. Beyond that,I’d hesitate to recommend. Our server was trying his best but had far too many tables to adequately run. One of the rolls weordered took about 45 minutes to come out, much after everything else (happened to the table behind us too). When it did arrive,it had an exceptionally fishy taste - something you don’t want in sushi. The rest of the food was nothing to write home about- you will certainly find higher quality sushi in the area with a bit of research. Id end with saying that I appreciate that wedidn’t have reservations and were seated as a party of 2 in about 25 minutes, as we were in the area spontaneously for mybirthday. If you’re looking for an awesome view and drinks, highly recommend. If you’re looking for exceptional food andservice, I’d recommend you keep looking. Read more
AMAZING AMAZING place!! Beautiful view, super friendly and attentive staff, delicious, high quality food!!! We reserved at 5 pm,... but came early at 3, the bartender kindly showed us the restroom, and we got to walk around the garden. I suggest coming aroundthat time because the sun is still out, people haven't shown up yet, and it is golden hour, so we got some good photos. Also,every day, a nice old man and his dog named "Shy Boy" sit next to the giant Buddha statue to watch the sunset. If you talk tothem, you can feed the dog a cookie and look at his garden. There are many beatiful photo spots, indoor and outdoor, with cutedoves and fish. The bathrooms are very clean and fancy. If you can't walk down the steps, a staff will lead you to an accessiblebathroom. Indoors, you can walk around the garden, but it isn't well lit at night, so I suggest going in for lunch. However,overall, outdoors is much prettier, especially at night. If it is cold, they have heaters. We went for our anniversary, and theyprepared a special champagne toast and cheesecake with a sparkler. Our food came out really fast and our waiter was very nice.We got food to go as well that is delicious. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely come back! Read more
Excellent food. Definitely a must to try and experience. Beautiful location and scenery. Waitress Ocean was amazing at doing her... job and highly recommended. Well deserved tip. This is no cheap place by any means but definitely worth it. Food flavorsexploded inside the mouth as different taste palettes activated simultaneously. Will come back no doubt next time we arrive toLA. Simply beautiful and elegant. Read more
Fantastic dinner with a wonderful ambiance and great drinks! We had reservations for a Monday dinner and were surprised to see... how crowded it was when we arrived. We requested seating by their garden, which we loved since we got to be in one of theirperimeter tables overlooking it and see the torches lit. The outdoor seating has a good view, but you can very easily see theview at the restaurant entrance and by going down the stairs where they have some landscaped areas you can walk through. Weboth ordered the garlic noodles and shared the silk whisperer and drunken dragon's milk. The noodles were nicely flavored andalthough the portion looked small were filling enough for a meal. The silk whisperer was very sweet on the first sip, butluckily they used a dry sparkling rose for a dry finish. The dragon's milk was my favorite with a nice foamy coconut flavor! Myonly qualm was their required $15 + tip valet parking, though I guess that's the price you pay for being able to dine on ahilltop overlooking LA in a residential neighborhood. Read more
