Yamashiro Hollywood

“What a Great Spot to enjoy the view of Los Angeles and have some Great Food!! Was in LA a year ago and saw this place from our hotel. After a deep dive to find out more, this quickly was put on my “Things To Do” in LA list. It did not disappoint! The first impression is amazing then the view hits you and takes your breath away. All that before you get your food! Everything looks great but ordered a few dishes to try! Can’t wait to come back so I can try more food/drinks! This is a great date night spot!!”

“Such an amazing experience came last year in July I had to come back again! The menu changes per season, which is fabulous, this keeps things fresh and exciting! The atmosphere is phenomenal. Views are breathtaking. You can see the Hollywood sign, downtown LA, West Hollywood, or just take in the beautiful Japanese style ambience. The food and drinks are absolutely delicious and waiters are very friendly and open to answering any questions or curiosity you might have. Highly recommend if ever visiting Hollywood!!”

“I celebrated my birthday at Yamashiro Hollywood with an intimate group of eight, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The setting was absolutely stunning — from the beautifully curated table setup to the warm, elegant ambiance that made the entire evening feel so special and intentional. We were treated to a thoughtfully curated prix fixe menu, and what stood out the most was how seamless everything was. I didn’t even feel the need to request any changes because the chef’s recommendations were absolutely perfect and each dish felt intentionally chosen for the experience. The service was exceptional — attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. Every detail felt considered, which made the evening flow effortlessly. And of course, the sunset views from the Hollywood Hills were breathtaking. Watching the sky shift over Los Angeles while celebrating with my closest people made the entire night feel almost surreal. It was one of those rare experiences where everything just aligns perfectly — the food, the atmosphere, the people, and the view. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. Truly a night I’ll always remember.”

“One of the coolest locations in town. I've been to this restaurant several times over the last 40 years and they've made really nice upgrades recently. Absolutely a breathtaking view and a lot of history wrapped up in that location. Among the new upgrades, there is a lot of additional outdoor seating which is beautiful. The place was packed and happening. Quite the scene! The food was good. It felt overpriced but no complaints as far as the flavor and the location more than makes up for it. The waiter was okay but just okay. At this price point, I do expect a little bit of more attentive service. There were six of us at the table and we only got four menus. When I asked for two more I was told it's new menu day so we don't have any extra menus for you. A little strange. Once I was given a menu and I finally had a chance to look at it, the waiter came over to ask if we're ready to order and explained to him that it's new menu day and it's going to take a minute LOL Overall, definitely worth checking out but I don't really need to go back.”

“Seen this all over social media and finally got around to trying it out. To start off, this is Valet only. When I went it was $20, so just know this before going. The atmosphere and aesthetic to the location is really nice. You can sit indoor or outside. The inside has cushion chairs which were really close to each other with very limited space to get in or out without bumping into the person behind you. Now for the food review. We got the crispy spicy tuna, garlic noodles with steak (medium rare), baked lobster roll, oysters and the ribeye. The garlic noodles were very dry, lacking a lot of flavor, the steak carried this dish. The oysters were good, would recommend the half dozen. The baked lobster roll was delicious, definitely my favorite, the dynamite sauce added a great flavor to the lobster. The crispy spicy tuna was also very delicious, it does pack a bit of heat, such a delicious wow factor. The steak was on the weak side. The sauce it was smothered on didnt really help it, but it made the carrots it paired with delicious. I wish they offered more sides as the mashed potatoes were also not that great. Overall the quality of food is quite average for the amount of options available in LA. If this restaurant was somewhere other than LA I would understand why the cost is so high, feels like you're been more so sold on the aesthetic,view, and history of the building more than the quality of food.”
