Yasu Beverly Hills

intimate omakase experience. a bit slow (they served each course to the whole restaurant at the same time) so don’t come too hungry. gluten free friendly (they replaced two courses and used tamari).

we sat at the bar and chef showed us the actual fish most of the sashimi / nigiri was from which was a fun learning experience. took us around 2 hours to finish (we’re the first group to arrive for our 8:15 time slot).

ambiance is great, fish is fresh and tasty although I’ve had better sushi for cheaper in LA, the only meh part is the slower pace. overall 4.5!

My first Omakase experience, overall very positive. Chances are, if you're like me and have mostly eaten at the many I will say average for lack of a better word Sushi restaurants all over LA, you probably have never eaten not only the type of fish on offer here but also the quality is on another level.

My wife and I sat in high chairs facing the Sushi chefs and our chef was an older man, extremely nice, I just really wish I could understand him better. Poor guy is wearing a mask the whole time and trying to describe the dish he's serving and with a fairly thick Japanese accent, not his fault of course but it just dampened the experience a bit for me.

My main reason for docking a star (Google by the way doesn't allow for half stars or else I'd give them 4.5 stars) is for me and you might be the same, I can eat a lot of Sushi and these being Sushi not rolls, even after 17 courses, while not hungry, wasn't exact full either. Many of the 17 courses are single piece tastings of a particular fish and average in size.

I would say if you've never had a true Omakase experience before, this would be a great place to come. I appreciate that it's Japanese owned/runned (owner Yasuhisa was there, came out a few times), fish is all imported from Japan and employees are Japanese.

Price also I would say is in line for the quality of product you're getting here. I also had a Sake Pairing that comes with 5 types of Sake, most of which are not available in the US, all very good. Would definitely go back for many of the reasons I gave here, you're likely not going to find the high quality fish in too many places across LA that you'll get here and I've eaten at some of the most popular s
Sushi places around.

This place was amazing from start to finish. This place is an EXPERIENCE and the pace of food was just right for me and my friend (we weren’t starving in between). The omakase we had was phenomenal and well put together. Every piece was so delicious and the chef (didn't get his name 😭😭) was SO friendly, polite and knowledgeable. Our server checked on us often and was also very kind! Will definitely come back soon!

If you are looking for an authentic Japanese dinner experience definitely come here. Every dish was perfect and you could taste the quality of the fish. The entire experience took around 2 1/2 hours, so bring some time to enjoy your omakase.

Absolutely amazing experience. The sushi is truly at another level, and the staff is top notch.

I'm not the biggest Uni fan, but theirs was of such quality...like everything else, that I absolutely loved it
