Yasu Beverly Hills

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.

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.

The sushi was delicious, but I’m not sure it was $250 per person delicious. I sat at a table, and the waitress didn’t explain each course very well. It was an interesting experience though.

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.

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!

We came to Yasu for hubby 31st bday and I have to say this was one of the best place I ever been to. The service was amazing(we came on 6/11 forgot our server name) he was genuine and kind when he spoke to us and the food was to die for. Hubby and I ate so many sushi places that we lost count, but Yasu will be forever be in our heart. We spent 2 hours here with grace with good food and great people around us. Until next time!!!! Peace

I've had Yasu bookmarked for a while and finally got to try this place! Surprisingly, there's plenty of street parking nearby, so I had no issues finding a spot. The restaurant is clean and cozy. Dinner promptly started around 6pm. The 17-course omakase was absolutely amazing for a price tag of $195/person (not including the mandatory 18% service charge and tax). Most, if not all, the fish and ingredients were flown straight from Japan. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! My favorites were the shirako and monkfish liver nigiri since these are delicacies that you don't see often in omakase menus in the US! I was so excited to see such variety thru out the meal. Overall, I had a blast at Yasu and thought that it was a 2-hour well spent. My belly was satisfied and I didn't feel the discomfort of being ridiculously full.

Came here for dinner on Thursday night with a friend for a celebration with an 8:30pm reservation and we had an amazing omakase experience here. Chef Yasu was serving us and we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time so we had the full attention of the staff! All of the fish we had was of high quality and it was great being able to see the chef prepare the sushi in front of us as we were waiting and eating. You get to experience a wide variety of fish and some which you may have not had before! Several favorites of mine throughout the whole meal were the monkfish liver, tamago, & scallop! I would recommend coming to Yasu for any special occasion and you will get to eat some amazing sushi here. The overall ambience was fancy but also welcoming and comfortable. It's more suited for smaller groups so I recommend your max party size be around 3-4 people. The pricing for the 17 course omakase menu we had was quite reasonable with picing at $195 per person with + 18% service fee and after tax it came out to be around $250 per person! The value and service you get here is phenomenal and it's one of the better priced options for omakase in LA.

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.

BF took me here for my birthday. I wanted badly to try omakase for the first time. He told me Yasu was the best, that there was no better place we could go, and that he used to be a regular here. He set my expectations high and unfortunately those expectations were not met. To preface, I have worked at 2 sushi establishments before, so the menu I experienced that night was unremarkable. Every fish that was offered, I had already tried many different times before. There was nothing in particular that stood out to me. The presentation was definitely pretty but unimpressive relative to the price point. The courses went by extremely fast, and I had not even realized that we had already finished the last course when dessert was brought out to us. It was a disappointment how the courses were arranged. I would have thought they would save the best fish for last, but it was a huge let down when I was served what I think was a cheesecake. Which was only okay. The most off-putting part was when they served us a celebratory yuzu sorbet in honor for my birthday. It was a cute gesture, where they wrote happy birthday in chocolate on the plate. However, to my surprise, I discovered a huge strand of hair in my sorbet after I began eating it. It was definitely a very obvious piece of hair. It was not in any means small and barely noticeable. I showed the chef, and he had the waiter take it away. Not any one of them apologized to us or even offered to give us a new one. I ended up eating my boyfriends portion. I'm grateful for my boyfriend's generosity in wanting to take me somewhere nice and upscale for my birthday. I enjoyed the experience but it was honestly a let down. I wish I had gotten to try different and special fish and I was expecting the service to be better than what I received.

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 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!

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.

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

Love their nigiri, chef is really nice and welcoming. Waitress constantly adding green tea for everyone. I will definitely be back.

very tasty, thank you for the hospitality, juicy and delicious food, we left satisfied

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!

Came on a Saturday night, was sat at 1 of the 2 tables behind the bar itself. The fish itself was ok, nothing exceptional especially for the steep price. There was quite a long wait between each individual dish around 15-20 minutes, so we ended up being there for over 2 hours. Would not recommend coming here super hungry otherwise you will be waiting and waiting and likely not leaving full/satiated. There was only 1 server for the entire restaurant while we were there, he was quite busy. One of the last of fish pieces was filled entirely with small bones (my boyfriend's piece was not though), which ended the meal on a poor note for me.

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!

One of a kind of a tasting experience. Once you try their Omakase, your taste buds will never crave other mediocre sushi!

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!

Service was bad, compared to other omakase experiences I've had before. Fish selections were hit and miss too. But besides food, service was so bad that I don't remember the food. Servers are very inexperienced, and has no clue. I would not go back/recommend

Took the girlfriend here for her birthday dinner (2/19/23). Everything was delicious. The akamutsu/nodoguro was probably my favorite piece.

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.

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.

***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.

Worth the cost. Well oiled machine with a great ambiance. Textures and flavors were extremely well balanced, you can tell the ingredients are super fresh. Sat at the bar.

Our first Omakase experience and i'm so glad it was spent at Yasu. Being a seafood snob, especially when it comes to sashimi.... It was so fresh and went above and beyond my expectations. The food was so delicious, the service was warm and welcoming, and overall an amazing experience. We sat at the bar and I enjoyed that the chefs explaining what each dish was and where each component of the dish came from. The scallops from hokkaido were so buttery and sweet, the snow crab was decadent and pops in your mouth, and the toro melts in your mouth and covers the entire tongue

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!

really enjoyed my last minute anniversary dinner since our original place fell through. But i am so glad i got to try Yasu because it will definitely be part of my anniversary celebrations. From a COVID cleanliness they have plexy glass in front of you at the sushi bar. They space out your reservations so you are just with your group. We had the 8PM dinner and lots of table versions. I think the table served slightly different items because their uni was black while mine was orange so go with the sushi bar for sure! 1. Sashimi - chutoro, hokaiddo scallops , and amberjack 2. Uni with toro tartare. Creamy and melts in your mouth! 3. Striped Jack - the sushi was so warm and nice 4. Red eye snapper 5. A limo 6. Seared octopus 7. Snapper with the yuzu! That was so good! 8. Fatty snapper! Omg another melt worthy one! 9. Fish soup from the bones of the fish we just ate 10. Regular tunA - still good 11. Melt in your mouth fatty tuna 12. Snow crab 13. Mackerel 14. Bonito 15. Anago 16. The eggg 17. Sorbet

Sometimes when you order omakase, you are full to the brim, while sometimes you just want a bit more. Yasu's omakse is a bit like the latter for me! Very high quality omakase and a great experience overall. Majority of the fish served are from Japan's market, which is always a treat! A few appetizers to start the omakase then followed with a sashimi course. The otoro+uni+caviar maki was a treat. Delicious bite. The nigiri part was definitely the highlight with a variety of Japanese caught fish being highlighted extremely well. The fish broth miso soup in the middle of the omakase was probably one of the best miso soup I've had. The omakase ended with an excellent yuzu sorbet that I could not stop eating and I kept on eyeing others' hoping they wouldn't finish theirs - sadly they did haha. We ordered an unique bottle of Hakkaisan sake and it was excellent. A bit pricey in terms of sake selection, but for the experience, it was a fun. The staff was excellent with all staff providing excellent service throughout our meal. They also explained each course in detail, which was nice. The total dinner took around two hours, and time definitely seemed like it flew by as the courses kept coming. We think part of the reason why we still had room afterwards was because the courses, besides the nigiri which was comparable to other omakase, are all smaller in portion. Overall, loved the experience at Yasu, but if I have the opportunity to come here next time, might opt for a pre-dinner snack somewhere first!

So. Yummmmmmmmy. Make a reservation. Come early. Bring good company. The food here is amazing. I loved the pacing. It was nice. We came super hungry but the pacing allowed us to enjoy the food and not stuff ourselves too quick. Our servers were amazing. Super friendly and took time to explain everything. The service was personal and attentive. I love Justin. He was so sweet and so nice. #loveandlust

Went here for a girlfriend's birthday on a Friday (5/5) night for a 8:30pm reservation at the counter for a party of 3; the place was pretty quiet and empty besides for us and two other small parties of 2. We had our own chef serving us and there was one other serving the other two parties. The service, attentiveness of the staff and ambiance were amazing and you definitely got what you paid for. The food was good and high quality and they were able to accommodate and substitute for any dietary restrictions (mine being crustaceans); you definitely got what you paid for. Pricing was $195 per person with + 18% service fee (no tipping institution), so each of our bills ran around $250 per person with drinks included, and I would recommend for a date night or special occasion, especially if you want a quieter and more intimate venue.

dined at Yasu Sushi for a birthday and was blown away by the quality of the food. The sushi was fresh and expertly prepared, with a perfect balance of flavors in each bite. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, making for a great dining experience. I highly recommend Yasu Sushi for anyone looking for excellent sushi

My boyfriend and I decided to try this restaurant, since it was something I always wanted to experience. We walked in without an appointment and we were able to be seated immediately (Sunday evening). My boyfriend is kosher meaning he can't have shellfish or any fish without scales and fins. When I told our server, he said it's totally doable! We started our meal and every dish was amazing and fresh. It was worth every penny. I highly recommend this place for the experience. I liked that the chefs respected our diet and could still accommodate us. Out of the 17 pieces, here are some of my favorites in the collage pic below.

Came here for omakase dinner (the only offer omakase) and loved the freshness of the seafood, the warmth of the service, and the coziness of the restaurant. It's an intimate setting, as only 3 couples or parties sit at the bar (due to COVID). The meal is paced as 18 courses over 2 hours. They have a small but solid selection of sake and wines (but unfortunately no red wines). Most notable courses include the tuna flight, monkfish liver, and first plate with crab, scallop, and sashimi.

Oooohhh this place is phenomenal. Chef Yasu lets the expertly curated fish speak for itself and every bite was slap-your-knee delicious. The atmosphere was like being in a dream, a bit surreal since there's only a few seats available each omakase. Loved the ceramics used and the service was also great. You can tell the chefs bring their A-game every night, and I loved talking to them. Extremely kind and thoughtful people here, definitely bring a date, family member or a friend you want to share a memorable experience with.

Had some really great sushi here and can't wait to return. Price point was great for the amazing quality of each dish. The chef was super sweet and informative of all the food he prepared for us. I was excited for every piece because each one before it tasted so good and fresh. You will leave here very full. I would definitely recommend having a nice omakase dinner here.

For our anniversary, I decided to surprise my boyfriend with a one of a kind experience. Yasu offers private catering where a ~20 course omakase is prepared in the comfort of your own home and it is a perfect/safe idea since dining out is not possible during this time. Head chef Yasu Kusano was nothing short of amazing. Not only is he great as what he does, he is great company. Watching him prepare the entire omakase experience was like having dinner and a show as he pays such close attention to detail. Everything tasted phenomenal and we did not want it to end. I would highly recommend this experience and we will definitely be doing this again soon for the next special occasion.

This sushi restaurant is the best in L.A. so far. Real Japanese sushi with sophisticated customer services.

So happy I found this place. My husband and I loved every bite of food. We sat at the bar with Chef Yasu and really enjoyed our experience with him. He recommended a bottle of sake for us, along with the sake pairing that we ordered. He immediately asked us about food allergies and and he replaced whatever we didn't want with another fish we did like. I haven't seen sushi prepared work such cleanliness and perfection since being in Japan. I cannot wait to go back!

Incredibly thoughtful presentation of fresh and delightful selections of fish. Exactly the omakase I was looking for on our visit to LA.

We were sitting at the bar because we didn't want to wait. The service was wonderful.. the texture and flavor of the sushi was just perfect. Will come back for sure.

Not sure what I can write that will contribute to the yelp reviews. Sushi - excellent! Sake pairing - that just didn't do anything for me. Service - As Monica S writes, it is snail paced. When you go to a restaurant and you are the first one to arrive after you have previously made reservations you expect to be seated on time. We arrived a little before our 8:15pm time slot but people were still dining inside at the chef's table. We waited and waited outside and finally a little after 8:30 we were all asked one by one to come in. I am not sure what order this line was moving in but I was offered the view of the chef from the side rather than sitting in the front where I would have originally liked to be seated. Normally when you go to these small restaurants and everyone has the same time seating you get to choose based on a first come first seated basis. But by t the time we were allowed to go inside you were told that this is the only seat left for the chef's table seating after they seated two parties that arrived after us. Anyways, to make matters worse in the middle of dinner service a SPIDER came crawling down from the top where the light was and because I did NOT want to make a scene I discretely approached the server and asked him to clean up the area. This was quickly fixed and all my dining equipment was replaced. But you know when you go for a flawless service. Few minutes later another spider was crawling on the table. At this point, I was still composed and approached the server once again without making a scene. By this time I was expecting an apology from at least the chef or someone in charge. NOTE: I do NOT remember ordering a SPIDER roll. We were not comp'd for any of this nor was there a proper apology besides a half hearted apology from our server. Not really sure if I can ever recommend this place based on my experience. Too bad the food is good and chef's attention to detail only goes as far as the food and not the spiders falling literally from the ceiling.

If the idea of feeling suicidal during a meal excites you, dine here. If you enjoy spending THREE HOURS at a restaurant where you're essentially held hostage to their snail-paced omakase experience, this is the place for you. My experience here was nothing short of torture. Felt robbed of both my life and time. Not sure what happened when others dined here, but when my family and I got there, there was only 1 server for the entire place... who was also the host and busboy. Reservation was at 8:15pm, first course was served at 8:45. By 10pm, where maybe we got through to 6 courses, I asked how much longer as this experience was just killing my soul away and this guy tells me we're only halfway through. There was a table next to me where a man looked like he was on a first date. His date got up and left in the middle of it bc it was taking forever. I think everyone at Yasu that night looked at her w so much envy. Fck I know I did. For the cherry on top, the server hands us the bill... that wasn't itemized. The bill looked incredibly off... especially considering how all things considered, we wouldn't have paid even $100 for a party of 5 for that kinda experience. The bill was almost $1400 and that was bc they recently changed their omakase pricing from $150 to $180pp w little notice. When we got there, there was a slip that mentioned $150, I'm guessing they forgot to update that. Bc I was utterly miserable and this all being downright unacceptable, I made it very clear to the server that we weren't happy, alluding to the incredibly long wait times in between courses and how it's already been 2.5 hours, HOW MUCH LONGER bc BY THIS POINT I AM JUST READY TO GO TO BED. Little did I know that that dude gave 0 fux bc an 18% tip is fixed. So if you wanna get butt fcked like me, go to Yasu. The sushi was good btw but does it even matter when you have to wait THREE HOURS to finish?

I went back again today to pick up Omakase Sushi Box. Nice looking, high-quality, and delish!! The only two pieces I didn't like were tamago and unagi - just because I'm not a fan.

First time trying this place for a Birthday celebration. booked ahead of time (14 day policy reservation from Resy). They have two selections for their dining reservation: 6:00 or 8:30 PM. They only use a single menu, which is a 17 course Omakase dining experience. I read other reviews of people saying the dining experience is very slow. However, our dining experience was of good pace. The chef handed each course at a perfect time; not too slow, and not too fast. We added a couple of Sake drinks to go along with our dinner. I enjoyed every single course, except the Shirako sushi (milt) from the fish. It's the course that looks like a brain. Overall experience was good, however, it didn't blow my mind away. I was actually expecting each course to blow our mind. They didn't have a Sweet Shrimp, which is a staple dish. Not sure if we will be back. The location is in Beverly Hills, however, it's in the "not so good" area of BH. Don't worry about parking, since you can easily park on the residential streets behind the main street.

Went here on opening night and we were their first guests! We sat at the chef's counter which seats 10 and had their full attention. This place is omakase only and you get 20 courses for $130 before tax and tip. The food is beautifully plated and the fish is very fresh. I especially liked the sashimi plate, the black cod nigiri, and the amaki. They also let you choose your fave piece to repeat. For the price, it is very much worth it. We did have a slight problem with the bill, where they forgot to remove the $25 per person non-refundable deposit that is used to secure your reservation. We pointed it out, but then they thought it was $25 total for the four of us. We finally got it all sorted out. It's an understandable mistake since they're still working out the kinks. But, in all, we enjoyed our meal and the wonderful service.

Established in 2019. Fairly new restaurant in Beverly Hills. Traditional Omakase with fresh ingredient. Fhenomenal dish with three parts of Tuna: Akami. Chu-toro. O-toro.

Epic dinner! Really enjoyed everything, particular the monkfish liver and the hotpot snow crab! Everything was really fresh and we opted for the sake pairing which I highly recommend, as the chef pairs each sake with each segment of the meal. Will definitely be back!

It was good, but I wouldn't come back for a second time. Ankimo, toro with Uni, and shirako were amazing. Sake pairing was chosen wisely as well. But o toro sushi itself had a lot of tendons in it, which destroyed the texture the finest o toro would have. Meaning that it wasn't the best part of a bluefin. Also, the sushi chef prepping for our meal dropped rice all the time. Tamago wasn't soft as well. Uni wasn't that fresh. A lot of "white" fish was selected into the omakase, which wasn't my favorite.

Check this place before booking . 2 people serving 12 guests. You have 1 piece of sushi every 15 minutes and it is not even tasty. Staff is not friendly, the person who seated us had no idea about the concept of the restaurant when I asked him. The 2 people cooking are very slow and it's not worth it.

Came here for my sister's b-day and did the sake pairings with the omakase. Really enjoyed the course menu and the variety of fresh fish and the preparation of it was really good with nice complementary flavors Favorite things were the monkfish liver (really good), sea urchin, and the salmon roe. I don't have much experience with sake but I enjoyed each 2oz pour. It is pricey but it's lower in price in comparison to some other omakase's in the area. The service was good and the pacing of the course menu was about 2ish hrs.

One of the best omakase meals I've had in the US. Very fresh fish served in an intimate setting. The service was impeccable. I was worried I might be too full with 18 courses, but it was just the right amount. Definitely a special occasion meal considering the cost and I believe they're raising their prices another $30 in next week, but will definitely be back.

We came to Yasu for hubby 31st bday and I have to say this was one of the best place I ever been to. The service was amazing(we came on 6/11 forgot our server name) he was genuine and kind when he spoke to us and the food was to die for. Hubby and I ate so many sushi places that we lost count, but Yasu will be forever be in our heart. We spent 2 hours here with grace with good food and great people around us. Until next time!!!! Peace

This place is the biggest ripoff, one man show he does everything when we arrived he was sweeping the floor, no waiter no helper no dishwasher I mean he does everything we stayed about one hour and our bill was $500.00 He gives what's available, any way never again not only that no Beverly Hills for me I will stick to Yuzu sushi in Toluca Lake Times better for a quarter of the price
