Chef at work
Courtney C.

I have had Yasu booked marked for some time and finally got to experience the Omakase for my birthday. Yasu is located in a quiet area in Beverly Hills. The place is small and cozy. The quality of fish was amazing! Every bite was delicious even for things I thought I didn't enjoy as much like uni and tamago. The presentation was simple but unique for each dish. We enjoyed sake and beer with our meal. The Chef did a wonderful job. I highly suggest adding on the caviar sushi! Yum. I will definitely return in the future.

WOW. This has to be the best omakase place in Los Angeles. WOW. My husband and I are from NYC and we love omakase. We tried a few similarly priced places, but none of them were places we would return to... except Yasu. Yasu is priced extremely well for the quality of their ingredients, the rarity of the fish flown in from Japan, and the incredible service. You're served piece by piece at the sushi bar, and Chef Yasu explains each piece for you. There are some truly beautiful pieces that also taste delicious (see photos). We also had a langoustine!!! Such a delicacy and served beautifully. I'm sad we didn't come to Yasu on the earlier part of our trip so that we could go again. We came to Yasu at the end of our trip. We'll definitely be back. You definitely will not regret coming here. You'll probably be wondering when you can come again. UPDATE - just read someone's review about bad service. The service from Chef Yasu was INCREDIBLE. He was always making sure we were taken care of. In terms of the server, she seemed a bit inexperienced but she definitely did try. Chef Yasu made sure everything was very well taken care of though!

Chef Yasu takes you on an epic omakase! We came here for a birthday celebration and we enjoyed every bite. The fish is fresh and the cuts were super big! The wasabi and the finer was something else! I loved it to the point where I asked for extra. It's fresh wasabi! Service by Chef Yasu and his staff are spectacular. You do need reservation for the special omakase but for other tables you can do walk in. Quiet and personal ambiance!

The first course sweet shrimp was surprisingly amazing, very refreshing and delicate. The uni deserves a photo, which floral decoration, it is a perfect June dish. Chef is friendly and humble. Highly recommend.

***Dinner Review: Saturday, 3/14/20*** Yasu Beverly Hills was my final meal out before the mandatory restaurant closures due to coronavirus, and it was a good one. Relatively new to Los Angeles, Yasu is a highly acclaimed sushi bar in the Toronto fine dining scene. Yasu Beverly Hills, which opened less than a year ago, is now their second location. On a comparatively quiet stretch of Robertson Blvd, it does feel partially removed from some of the more hectic neighborhoods close by. Yasu offers two omakase-only dinner options, priced at either $130 or $180. We opted for the $130 option, which included 21 courses, 15 of which were nigiri. At the end, we ordered two additional items that were not served during the regular omakase (Shira-uo/Icefish & Buri/Wild Yellowtail). The sequence went as follows: 1. Kanpachi (Amberjack) Sashimi 2. Hotate from Boston 3. Spanish Mackerel from Japan 4. Scallop Himo 5. Kasugodai (Young Sea Bream/Young Red Snapper) 6. Ankimo (Monkfish Liver) 7. Shima-aji (Striped Jack) 8. Hotaru Ika (Firefly Squid) 9. Sakura Masu (Cherry Trout) from Hokkaido 10. Kaki (Oyster) from Canada 11. Toro-Ikura bowl 12. Red Snapper soup 13. Akami (Lean Bluefin Tuna) from Japan 14. Chutoro (Semi Fatty Bluefin Tuna) from Japan 15. Otoro (Fatty Bluefin Tuna) from Japan 16. Santa Barbara Spot Prawn 17. Premium Santa Barbara Uni (Sea Urchin) 18. Saba (Mackerel) from Japan 19. Anago (Sea Eel) from Nagasaki 20. Tamago 21. Shira-uo (Icefish) 22. Buri (Wild Yellowtail) 23. Yuzu Ice Cream Best pieces of the night: Kasugodai, Shima-aji, Akami, Chutoro, Otoro, Uni, Anago With only two seatings per night (at either 6pm or 8:15pm), and a limited number of bar seats, the chef is really able to focus on the flow of the meal and pay extra attention to each customer. While I didn't catch his name, the chef we were seated in front of was friendly and spoke good English. He was very informative and able to answer the many questions we had, such as where various fish were sourced. What I liked most about my omakase at Yasu Beverly Hills was the wide variety of neta. Our meal featured many different kinds of seafood and preparation techniques. I thought the quality and sourcing of the ingredients was great, and enjoyed the traditional simplicity of each piece. The decor and ambiance was very conducive to the central focus on the food. Service was exceptional throughout, and the restaurant itself was spacious, with a high-end feel. So, where does Yasu rank amongst the LA sushi greats? Maybe in the top 10. There's definitely no shortage of top notch competition in this city, but I give a definite edge to places like Sushi Tsujita and Mori Sushi. The biggest area for improvement I see for Yasu is the rice. While I thought the temperature was fine, neither of us were too wild about the taste, perhaps due to its sweet flavor. That being said, Yasu Beverly Hills definitely provides a 5 star experience worth visiting.

Came here for my friends birthday and tried the omakase, and we had a delicious experience. The service was great, and the head sushi chef was fun on top of being very skilled. We had octopus that tasted so tender, almost soft like fish, one of the top 3 monkfish liver I've ever tried, and the sweetest crab meat dipped in broth. The place was upscale yet had a great vibe, especially with sake cups bigger than my palm. Would definitely go back again just to get more monkfish liver!

Love their nigiri, chef is really nice and welcoming. Waitress constantly adding green tea for everyone. I will definitely be back.

My husband and I came here for a celebratory dinner on a Saturday night. I was able to get a reservation for this place somewhat last-minute (the day before). Although Yasu is technically in Beverly Hills, it is not in the nice part of Beverly Hills. There is a lot of paid street parking near the restaurant. The restaurant is small, with a bar counter and some tables. When we came, we were seated immediately. The service was nice. They didn't check our vaccination cards. Yasu only has a 18-course omakase option for $180. The first course was a sashimi course, that I didn't like. Everything else was good, and I liked that the chef would show us the fish first before he cut and served it. They also had shirako, a delicacy of cod fish sperm which I'd had in Japan, but never eaten in the U.S. I appreciated this unique offering. While we had a good dinner, I do think there are other omakase options that are cheaper and better quality.

Omakase as if you are in Japan for a very reasonable price! The hubby surprised me with dinner here for my birthday and it was delicious. The omakase was very well planned. The flavors were simple, elegant and without any crazy fancy salt or condiment (in a good way). It is just great sushi! Price $130 per person. I love being able to taste two different types of uni (Hokkaido and Santa Barbara) side by side and also the three different cuts of the tuna (otoro, chutoro and akami). The monk fish liver was very memorable and almost felt like I was eating foie gras! Another diner also gave the same comment. And I usually don't like ankimo. The scallop was one of my favorites and I love how we get to eat the side of the scallop so it is not wasted. And it was cooked over the grill perfectly with a crunchy texture. Yum! We also tried the sake pairing and it was very good! You get 5 different sake for the tasting. All very smooth and refreshing. You can share the tasting if you like which is what we did since we are both light weights. Service was great. We had a great time!

I recommend coming to Yasu for a decent Japanese traditional omakase experience around BH area. We booked this place on Resy, one day before. They have two timings for dinner: 6pm and 8.15pm. We chose the 6pm as omakase normally lasts about 2 hours, so we ended about 8pm. A good amount of time; perfect pacing in between each course not too slow & not too fast. There are 17-course and each of them are unique on its own. Ask more about it if you're curious to the Chef, so you'll have a pretty good understanding of what you're eating & where it comes from! We love this place specifically for its ambience. A small restaurant but delivers a fancy yet nice comfortable atmosphere. Great for small party: 2-3 people normally. But they do have tables for larger parties, make sure to give them a call. For the food, We feel that everything here is great & fresh! But, personally we prefer omakase that serves more variety. The fish that come in each course is pretty thick and some are less delicate/soft in texture than others. I can say that the food could be better. However, we do feel that this is a personal preference. We find that other people seem to enjoy a thicker cut of the fish and less soft (or melty) as we prefer. Yasu definitely is a perfect place for that type of preference. Favorites: (1) Monkfish! (2) Saltwater unagi (3) Tuna Uni (4) Toro (5) Tamago! I definitely recommend coming to Yasu for great quality of omakase & friendly pricing! Chefs are really nice and service is good as well.

Took the girlfriend here for her birthday dinner (2/19/23). Everything was delicious. The akamutsu/nodoguro was probably my favorite piece.

We visited Yasu for our 5th wedding anniversary and the whole experience was beyond wonderful! Chef Yasu prepared our 17 course omakase with delicacy in every bite.. our absolute favorite was the monk fish liver, it was soft like tofu and the freshness to die for. Chef Yasu was also very funny and humble man, he had some inside jokes to share which made the experience even more amazing. Thank you for a memorable meal and unforgettable night!

Catherine L.

Worth the cost. Well oiled machine with a great ambiance. Textures and flavors were extremely well balanced, you can tell the ingredients are super fresh. Sat at the bar.

It was 6:40 pm on a Sunday and the restaurant seems full. The ambience is cute inside. There are only two Japanese waiters speaking in broken English. Upon sitting, it took 15 min for anyone to come by to take the order. Then it took another 20 min & multiple asks to get the beer that was ordered. No water provided the whole time. The udon came out another 20 min later. Followed by takoyaki in another 5 min. Finished food in 10 min and paid and left. Since there was nothing to do for a good 35 min, I was observing other customers. There was no easy way to quickly input orders. There was no fast way to pay and leave. The two overworked servers had to wait one by one to take orders and pay. There was absolutely no order or ways to keep track who came first or last (the table after me finished eating before I got my beer). Speaking do the food, the #1 spicy niku udon was so salty that there's no way to drink any of the soup. Since there's no complimentary water serves, I dumped an entire bottle of my own water to be able to eat it. There were maybe a few slices of beef at most. Definitely not a yummy udon. Best part was takoyaki - I have to say this is the best thing I've had in the restaurant. Ultimately, I concur with the recent reviews - this is not a real 4-star place.

Definitely a good spot for a date night. I was craving some yakitori, so we ordered a bunch of different ones including Negima, Gizzard, Tsukune, Wings, Chicken Thigh, Liver, Hearts, and Cartilage. All the yakitori was cooked to order and everything came out really good. We also had the Hokkaido Scallops & Sweet Shrimp Crudo, which was delicious. For sushi, I ordered some nigiri including Scallop, Salmon Belly, Bluefin Toro, and Kanpachi, plus the King Tuna Roll. I have to say everything tasted pretty good. I honestly came in thinking it was going to be just okay, but I was pleasantly surprised and ended up really enjoying everything we ordered. Overall, the food was good and the atmosphere was nice and intimate. I'd definitely come back, especially for the yakitori. Great little spot for a date night if you're around The Grove.

Interesting experience to say the least…read more Came on a Saturday night off the whim and was seated right away. There's indoor and outdoor. Outdoor consists of the sidewalk & a sectioned off patio section. I liked the dark ambiance, it felt very romantic. The lighting was very intimate. A waitress came, got our drink orders and we ordered the duck breast as an appetizer. We got our drinks, which the tall glass is very misleading as I felt like I barely sipped anything and it was GONE, lol. I ordered the watermelon drink and it was tasty, I just wanted watermelon water anyways. It came with a watermelon slice which was nice. After the drinks we were WAITING idk how long until a different waitress came and took our order ?? We put in our entree, received them & never got our appetizer. We were waiting a long time for someone else to come by. I ordered the seared kanpachi jalapeño roll, which 10/10!! it was flavorful, had the spice & felt fresh. I didn't have to add anything like soy sauce to it. I just eat all my sushi with ginger and it paired great with it. Finally someone showed up & we said we ordered a duck breast appetizer with the first waitress, which was never put in. So the second waitress went ahead and put it in. The duck breast has an interesting texture. I can't explain it. I did not like the texture. The flavor was fine but the texture really threw me off personally. Kind of reminded me of pâté cat food, it felt like how paté cat food looks if that makes sense. Texture wise. Overall, service was trash. The waitresses were both unfriendly, but I guess that's just LA customer service nowadays. We waited forever. Spent more time waiting rather than eating. Valet or street metered parking. Restrooms in the back, 2 single unisex stalls.
