The 12 Best Japanese Barbecue Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"With big plush booths and meat quality to die for, Yazawa elevates the yakiniku experience to previously exclusive heights. Believe them when they say they fly their beef in from Japan because the marble passes the eye test. And put faith in them when they slosh the meats in an egg mixture and grill them to a barely-cooked pink to help you truly appreciate the mellow, fatty flavor of true Japanese Wagyu. There might not be a better yakiniku experience in Los Angeles (and that includes the exclusive invite-only Totoraku in West LA). Note: Famed and notoriously exclusive yakiniku restaurant Totoraku was not included because it’s available to diners on an invite-only basis." - Euno Lee
