Yuzu sorbet (: 17
Tiffany T.

I was Yelping sushi omakase places for the past two days. It's so hard finding a reasonable one for the price and experience. I ended up picking this place because the price wasn't crazy expensive ($195) per person for a 17 course omakase and i also got to reserve sitting at the sushi bar in advanced ! I recommend sitting in the corner near the wall because you don't have to be next to other people hehe (: and you get a better view of the show ! Me and my boyfriend had an amazing time, they even sang him happy birthday at the end of our meal so thoughtful of them. It's a really special experience watching how they make every piece of sushi ! I felt like I was watching a sushi documentary the sushi was delicious you won't be disappointed! You will be full enough to the point where you don't feel fat, you feel light after eating here. The quality of the fish is amazing. They put so much care and effort into each bite! The service was perfect And the sushi chef was so funny, friendly, and informative about each fish we were eating (: The ambiance was nice, it's an Intimate setting for a dinner date!! Loved every minute of it! You have to find street parking though (: The bill for two people came out to ($503) The tip is included automatically hehe For a special occasion this is a nice option! Worth the money and fun experience!(: highly recommend coming here The food pictures speak for itself everything we were served

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!

Unfortunately, this visit was incredibly disappointing. We also didn't realize the restaurant had expanded. We were seated in the newer secondary room rather than the main dining room, and honestly, we felt like an afterthought. It was a Tuesday night and the room was practically empty, so there really wasn't an explanation for the lack of service. Our waitress briefly came over to take our drink order, then disappeared. One of my drinks was forgotten, which in itself would not have been a big deal, but then we sat for approximately 18 minutes without anyone returning to take our food order. No one checked on us at all. Eventually, I had to get up and go back to the front desk, where the staff were thankfully very kind and apologetic. I explained that no one had been to our table in 18 minutes and that we were in a hurry. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the service. We ordered many of the things we normally get: vegetable tempura, albacore, salmon and other sushi, miso soup, chicken skewers, rice, and the creamy spicy shrimp. The creamy spicy shrimp was very good, but much of the rest was surprisingly underwhelming. The miso soup tasted completely different from what we remembered and was incredibly salty. The biggest surprise was the rice. It was overcooked and somehow managed to be mushy and hard at the same time. For a restaurant of this caliber, we honestly could not believe the side of rice was that poorly prepared. We have had so many wonderful experiences with Matsuhisa over the years, which made this visit even more disappointing. Between the lack of service, being seemingly forgotten in the secondary dining room, and several food-quality issues, this simply did not feel like the Matsuhisa experience we know. Unfortunately, we have to give this location two stars and will not be returning. We'll stick with the Aspen location, which continues to be exceptional. We are genuinely sad to say that because we expected so much more from Matsuhisa.

Also if you want full sashimi selection don't come toward end of day as they'll run out of things. They refresh their rolls almost hourly so everything pre-made turns over quickly and is super fresh unlike the markets where it's more like 1x/day. Biggest ask is to pace yourself on how often you come so it's not so crazy every time I go.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully simple. Sometimes less really is more when the fish is this good. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for the sushi alone!

Rockpool sounds a little generic for a sushi spot, but the quality of the fish is quite delicious for the value.

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.

Rockpool is a new sushi joint opened by the same owner of Yasu Sushi. After trying out their…read moreomakase lunch special during their grand opening, our verdict is in. My friend and I felt like we were getting the freshest cut you can for the price. Some even more fresh than others. It was very quiet during the Saturday we went, which gave us a lot of privacy to chat over delicious fish. With the excellent customer service and engaging staff, you bet we will be back for their other omakase options.
