Intimate Japanese restaurant serving small plates & sushi
"COVID-19 Update: Temporarily closed. While it's known for being one of the country's most expensive restaurants (depending on your order and sake consumption you can expect to spend about 1K per person), it's also known as one of the most superlative. Chef Urasawa sources exquisite wagyu beef, sushi, and caviar, which he literally gilds with gold. The space can accommodate about a dozen people max. COVID-19 Disclaimer: We are working hard to keep our listings as up to date as possible (deliveries, outdoor dining, etc.), but given the evolving nature of local COVID-19 restrictions, we recommend double-checking the information in this guide with any business you plan on visiting. Also, please note that we have not vetted any businesses listed within our guides for their compliance with applicable safety regulations."
"Urasawa offers bento box-style takeout options as a response to pandemic challenges." - Patricia Kelly Yeo
"As much a kaiseki feast as sushi omakase, this place is tiny, with fewer than ten seats. With a hand-sanded bar above the fray on Rodeo Drive , and famed chef Hiroyuki Urasawa attending to everyone’s needs, it feels exclusive—and it is. Uni and caviar are sometimes garnished with gold, the only overtly extravagant flourish on a menu that otherwise shines on technique and sourcing. From the A5 Wagyu tartare to the truffle (as in Périgord) ice cream, there are no standard moves here, and that’s why it’s one of L.A.’s few two-Michelin-starred restaurants—and why you drop so much money on the experience." - Hugh Garvey, Krista Simmons, Maxwell Williams

"Urasawa, which inspectors deem 'an exemplary sushi temple' in Beverly Hills..." - Abbe Baker
