So we came in for one night stay and happen to be at a hotel down the street. We gave this…read morerestaurant a chance due to a recommendation at the hotel. The service was great, the ambiance was great, but the fish.....the fish was amazing. We eat sushi twice a week minimum, and we were very impressed with the quality of fish. Plus they have a couple items that most sushi restaurants don't and they were fantastic items. We didn't have anything from the kitchen, all we had was sushi, and I can't wait for an excuse to come back to Beverly Hills.

DELIVERY Ordered for delivery so this may not represent the…read morequality dining in. SERVICE From the careful and individual packaging to the adorable note they included, service was awesome besides the delivery time. It took 1.5 hours to deliver from the time ordered. FOOD We tried several items and although the sashimi was fresh, the cost was way too pricey especially for the rolls that were mediocre. SPICY SALMON HANDROLL- delicious with a slight kick! Although the seaweed was a bit soggy after the long delivery time. 4/5 SALMON AVO - aesthetically pleasing but lacked flavor 2/5 SALMON TRUFFLE - the truffle sea butter sauce was real heavy for me, but the fish was fresh and delicious. 3/5 UNI SCALLOP - uni was not fishy at all and the scallop was hearty. 5/5 DOUBLE T TRUFFLE TORO - the truffle just melts in your mouth! Toro was slightly on the tougher side. 3/5 EMMA - seared fatty tuna toro, yummy ! 5/5 HYE - yellowtail belly hamachi was refreshing and perfectly tender 5/5 SALMON BELLY - fresh! Nothing special. 4/5 MR CRAB - made with langostino and mayo, crispy shrimp tempura, and some kind of oyster sauce. Could be better and not worth it for the cost. 2/5 TUNA CITRUS - very pretty to look at, but lacked flavor. Not much tuna either. 2/5 OVERALL Would come back to dine in person, but wouldn't go for any of their pressed rolls or individual. Their sashimi is fresh, but definitely overpriced.

My friend and I were a bit boozed out from the night before, so we stuck with a handful of sharable platters including California rolls and ceviche, all tasted amazing. Nothing was too heavy and the portions were all manageable, not too small or too large. The outdoor seats were very cushy and comfortable, it's perfect for sitting with your fur baby, and the restaurant provided water bowls upon request as well. Servers were all really friendly and the food did not take long to come out, though it wasn't too busy that Sunday afternoon around 3pm. Would definitely come back here to try the cocktails with other fusion bites next time we're in the area!

We ordered rolls, salads, ceviche, and pasta, but everything was just okay--nothing memorable. We had to ask for wasabi and ginger three times, and the server seemed confused. Service overall was friendly but very slow, and the restaurant wasn't even full. The pasta was a miss, and the "salad" wasn't really a salad. Drinks were the highlight--great martinis and well-made cocktails. That said, our bill was over $600, and none of us left full. Portions are tiny. Go for drinks and ambiance, but I'd skip the food.

Chirashi - the fish is QUALITY. 2 types of each fish, so it's still shareable with a friend. Standouts: their Uni was so creamy and fresh. Also loved the kanpachi pieces - firm and flavorful. Hamachi was also so buttery and fresh. The Miso Chilean Seabass skewers were the best. So tender, soft and grilled and marinated perfectly. What a nice thick satisfying chunk. This is a must order. Pressed sushi - these are hard to find outside of Vancouver so it was a delight to see them! We had the salmon and hamachi version. Loved that the Hamachi had a delicious spicy kick to it! The matcha mochi chocolate cake was so soft, gooey with strong matcha flavor! Great way to end the meal. It's on a poppin street on West Hollywood. We walked to Dayglow for matcha and the Pacific Design Center for inspiration.

The atmosphere was very pleasant and upscale, making it a great place for a night out with friends…read more My wife and I went there last night with several other couples, and overall we had a good experience. The staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout the evening. There were some delays in getting a few of the dishes to the table, but the service itself was still good and the servers did their best to take care of us. The food was fresh, high quality, and definitely enjoyable. However, I'm someone who loves fine dining and high-end restaurants, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to reviews. While everything we ordered tasted very good, there wasn't a single dish that really stood out as unique or unforgettable. Nothing made me stop and think, "Wow, I've never had anything like this before." The food was delicious, but not necessarily memorable. The pricing is on the expensive side, but that's also what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber and location, so I don't consider that a negative. Overall, we had a nice evening, enjoyed the food, and appreciated the service. I would absolutely consider coming back in the future to try more items from the menu. Maybe there are some signature dishes that we missed this time around. If a future visit impresses me a little more, I could definitely see this becoming a 5-star review. For now, it's a solid 4 stars from me.

Matsuhisa was nice overall, but unfortunately nothing particularly memorable for me…read more The quality of the fish was good, and everything was well prepared. For the price point, I was expecting a lot more. The omakase honestly felt closer to what I would expect from a ~$75 experience. Nothing was bad, but there also wasn't a particular dish that surprised me or that I left thinking about afterward. The plating and presentation were ok but for a place in beverly hills with a high rating I think I just expected more. The atmosphere is also much more casual than upscale, which I don't necessarily mind, but paired with the price of the meal, the overall experience didn't feel quite as special as I expected. Service was good and we had a pleasant dinner, but with so many great Japanese and omakase options in LA, I think there are other options.

The restaurant is clean and cozy. Dinner promptly started around 6pm. The 17-course omakase was absolutely amazing for a price tag of $195/person (not including the mandatory 18% service charge and tax). Most, if not all, the fish and ingredients were flown straight from Japan. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! My favorites were the shirako and monkfish liver nigiri since these are delicacies that you don't see often in omakase menus in the US! I was so excited to see such variety thru out the meal. Overall, I had a blast at Yasu and thought that it was a 2-hour well spent. My belly was satisfied and I didn't feel the discomfort of being ridiculously full.

Chef Yasu was serving us and we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time so we had the full attention of the staff! All of the fish we had was of high quality and it was great being able to see the chef prepare the sushi in front of us as we were waiting and eating. You get to experience a wide variety of fish and some which you may have not had before! Several favorites of mine throughout the whole meal were the monkfish liver, tamago, & scallop! I would recommend coming to Yasu for any special occasion and you will get to eat some amazing sushi here. The overall ambience was fancy but also welcoming and comfortable. It's more suited for smaller groups so I recommend your max party size be around 3-4 people. The pricing for the 17 course omakase menu we had was quite reasonable with picing at $195 per person with + 18% service fee and after tax it came out to be around $250 per person! The value and service you get here is phenomenal and it's one of the better priced options for omakase in LA.

The food comes out quick or I don't even get my food at all. Waiters and waitresses are typical Gen Z combative characters. The sushi quality has been very bad. The place could be dead and your food will take over 1 hour to come . Sadly I won't be coming back here again. On a side note i did some investigation and I found out some pretty shocking news. The reason that sugarfish opened up kazu nori is because when sugarfish has tons of scraps that they can't use or sell they chop everything up and use it for kazu nori's hand roll bar. Think about it logically. Every single location has the fish already cut up and they allocate it to each each sugarfish location. It is then done by machine for their nigiri's and handrolls . Sugarfish told themselves "hey guys we have all of these irregular cuts of fish and we cannot waste it... oh I know let's open up a handroll bar and chop it up up" Sugarfish and kazu nori in my opinion are borderline gas station sushi.

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we had a great experience!…read more I made the reservation online and paid upfront the cost of 2 people which was about $500 total. My fear of going to omakase places is that I will pay a lot of money to still be hungry at the end, but I didn't leave Nozawa Bar hungry at the end! The location was located inside Sugarfish in Beverly Hills and since they do a 6pm and 8pm time slot, arrive on time! We were greeted by the chef as we enter in the back of Sugarfish and seated intimately in front of the chef as he prepared every dish in front of us and explained what we're eating. Everything prepared was fresh and flawless and the chef was super nice to talk to. I definitely had favorites and some were definitely things that I've never tried before so it was a pleasant experience to try new things! Overall, I would recommend this place as a date night. It's highly rated for a reason!

Best omakase!!!…read more I've been to plenty of top omakase spots, but Nozawa Bar in Beverly Hills is on another level.

NOTE: Dined in on 10/27/24…read more Definitely want to write a couple of reviews before the end of the year to shine some light on restaurants that really need some more love here on Yelp. Rockpool sounds a little generic for a sushi spot, but the quality of the fish is quite delicious for the value. In particular, the lunch omakase is probably amongst the best sushi deals I've had for a sitdown spot. I'd definitely take it into consideration over let's say... Sugarfish. People often talk about how "fresh" fish tastes at sushi restaurants, but I feel like the best raw fish is often aged to an extent. The taste of the fish here is good, but I don't feel that they always use the best cuts. For example, the otoro was tasty, but it was not as marbled as I'm used to seeing. That said, another critically important and often overlooked component of sushi, particularly in handrolls and nigiri, is the rice. The rice here is delicately warm, pairs well with the fish, and has a pleasant, slightly sweet and vinegary taste. Simply delightful. The miso soup was also quite delicious, with a hearty, deep, set of flavors in the soup stock, and the scallop hand roll here was so good, I forgot to take a photo before devouring it haha. The lunch special should be enough food for most folks, but you're always welcome to add additional items to it! Now, is it good enough for me to try the more expensive dinner courses? Debatable, but it might be... just barely! The value proposition is hard to ignore, though. It's certainly one of the best deals you'll find on the Westside.
