    Unfortunately, for my wallet, this was the best meal I've ever had in my life! And I will absolutely have to come back again. My favorite bites were the uni, it is such a fun take to make Uni into a sorbet. The ice cream was incredible, it was made from the same rice that we've been eating throughout the meal. My husband told the chef that he would buy a pint of that ice cream from him if he sold it! All of the Nigiri pieces are so fresh, the tunas were my favorite along with the most creamy scallop. Service was incredible too, there is such great attention to detail. The course out the food with perfect timing and every person that works there is so personable as well There is a public parking lot that is right next-door, they also have to do valet.

    Tried the NYC location back in October and loved it. When my wife and I heard about a Los Angeles location one opening, we were excited. We booked a reservation to celebrate my wife's birthday on Sat 6/13/26. Parking is street, near by structure l, or valet. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation and check-in. The hostess was very professional and polite. We were seated a few minutes later. Decor in the dining room was very cleaned, well arranged, and calm. Very calm, yet open kitchen where we could view everyone handling the food service for the night. The food, in NYC I felt was a worthwhile experience, I dare say this location exceeded the bar. Like NYC, everything tasted very fresh and the flavors really shined through with every bite.

    The wait for this place to open was so worth it! Super lucky to have secured a reservation on their 5th day open and based on my visit it felt like they've been in the neighborhood forever - with the best in class food, staff and the overall dining experience. I also want to thank John Chin who was helping from the NY location for the opening for his tremendous hospitality in spending time to speak to us and making us feel so at home - he and the rest of the LA staff are just stellar! We went for the chef's omakase - which is a combination of nigiri and also some other creative dishes in the kaiseki style - highly recommend! If you're going to have the Sushi Nakazawa experience you must go for this one!!! Each course was spectacular- beautifully plated, balanced and artfully crafted, with each bite unique and offering such unique touches across the board. I can't even pick a favorite, everything was so good! But some lovely standouts were the Senbei, Unagi Kabayaki, Ju-wari Soba, the trio of tuna nigiri (Akami (Lean Bluefin), Chutoro (med. fatty bluefin), O-Toro Aburi (Seared Fatty Tuna) and the Wagyu A5 Miyazaki. This place also has the most impeccable warm vibes and service with the utmost attention to every detail. (A server noticed I was left handed and deftly moved my ginger and finger wipe over without a word to accommodate - that is seriously next level.) Each dish is explained thoroughly and also simultaneously placed at the table for you by multiple servers if you are sitting at a table. At the end they will also ask whether there is anything you'd like to repeat as an encore - we were so full we didn't take them up on that but they still sent out another special piece of unagi and an amazing cake made of egg, shrimp stock, yam, sugar and salt... it was so good I savored each and every bite. Perfectly textured and flavorful. Valet parking is available for $18, street meters on Robertson or some public lots available in the area.

    You deserve a STAR @sushi Nakazawa, Beverly Hills. I can taste it coming....Well renown sushi omakase and no stranger to the Michelin mentions is Sushi Nakazawa. The mothership in NYC and Washington DC, which from rumors among the foodie elites, are of utmost desirability; and guess what????? they have finally arrived in LA! This place is outstanding! A simple, minimalistic, and beautiful venue offering both counter and table seating; there is also a private room which can be used to host special events and meetings. An elegant dining hall sitting in the heart of LA. But beyond the aesthetics, the real standout was the foooodddd!!!!!!! Option for either the Classic or chef's menu each consist with an exquisite 20 course omakase serving only the finiest nigiri from spots all along the coast of the grand pacific; these high quality catches are perfectly blended with warm course bites (shout out to my favorite, the crispy unagi). Absolutely divine folks!!!! A must must must try.

    We were very excited to try sushi Nakazawa after hearing it was open. We were greeted outside by the hostess and received a warm welcome. When we walked into the restaurant, the decor was very clean and chic. We sat at the sushi bar and were quickly greeted by our waiter. We had multiple people waiting on us throughout the night. The service was impeccable. The executive chef was the one making our sushi. We did the $190 per person omakase and added the uni two ways, which they were kind enough to add after we requested. We had 21 courses plus a dessert. I love sushi, and I thought the sushi was very very good. A couple of the courses were smoked, which we got to see happen from our seats. Some of the highlights included golden snapper, striped bass, scallop, smoked salmon, uni and all of the tuna courses were amazing as well! I really enjoyed every bite.The uni two ways was very interesting, especially the uni sorbet, which was a first. It was worth a try. The dessert was great as well. It was a rice ice cream that was delicious. They told us how the chef stays late to ferment the rice and it's turned into ice cream. The rice they use is from a small farm in Japan. Definitely could have eaten a pint of it! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and would definitely go back again.

    So we came in for one night stay and happen to be at a hotel down the street. We gave this…read morerestaurant a chance due to a recommendation at the hotel. The service was great, the ambiance was great, but the fish.....the fish was amazing. We eat sushi twice a week minimum, and we were very impressed with the quality of fish. Plus they have a couple items that most sushi restaurants don't and they were fantastic items. We didn't have anything from the kitchen, all we had was sushi, and I can't wait for an excuse to come back to Beverly Hills.

    DELIVERY Ordered for delivery so this may not represent the…read morequality dining in. SERVICE From the careful and individual packaging to the adorable note they included, service was awesome besides the delivery time. It took 1.5 hours to deliver from the time ordered. FOOD We tried several items and although the sashimi was fresh, the cost was way too pricey especially for the rolls that were mediocre. SPICY SALMON HANDROLL- delicious with a slight kick! Although the seaweed was a bit soggy after the long delivery time. 4/5 SALMON AVO - aesthetically pleasing but lacked flavor 2/5 SALMON TRUFFLE - the truffle sea butter sauce was real heavy for me, but the fish was fresh and delicious. 3/5 UNI SCALLOP - uni was not fishy at all and the scallop was hearty. 5/5 DOUBLE T TRUFFLE TORO - the truffle just melts in your mouth! Toro was slightly on the tougher side. 3/5 EMMA - seared fatty tuna toro, yummy ! 5/5 HYE - yellowtail belly hamachi was refreshing and perfectly tender 5/5 SALMON BELLY - fresh! Nothing special. 4/5 MR CRAB - made with langostino and mayo, crispy shrimp tempura, and some kind of oyster sauce. Could be better and not worth it for the cost. 2/5 TUNA CITRUS - very pretty to look at, but lacked flavor. Not much tuna either. 2/5 OVERALL Would come back to dine in person, but wouldn't go for any of their pressed rolls or individual. Their sashimi is fresh, but definitely overpriced.

My friend and I were a bit boozed out from the night before, so we stuck with a handful of sharable platters including California rolls and ceviche, all tasted amazing. Nothing was too heavy and the portions were all manageable, not too small or too large. The outdoor seats were very cushy and comfortable, it's perfect for sitting with your fur baby, and the restaurant provided water bowls upon request as well. Servers were all really friendly and the food did not take long to come out, though it wasn't too busy that Sunday afternoon around 3pm. Would definitely come back here to try the cocktails with other fusion bites next time we're in the area!

We ordered rolls, salads, ceviche, and pasta, but everything was just okay--nothing memorable. We had to ask for wasabi and ginger three times, and the server seemed confused. Service overall was friendly but very slow, and the restaurant wasn't even full. The pasta was a miss, and the "salad" wasn't really a salad. Drinks were the highlight--great martinis and well-made cocktails. That said, our bill was over $600, and none of us left full. Portions are tiny. Go for drinks and ambiance, but I'd skip the food.

The staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout the evening. There were some delays in getting a few of the dishes to the table, but the service itself was still good and the servers did their best to take care of us. The food was fresh, high quality, and definitely enjoyable. However, I'm someone who loves fine dining and high-end restaurants, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to reviews. While everything we ordered tasted very good, there wasn't a single dish that really stood out as unique or unforgettable. Nothing made me stop and think, "Wow, I've never had anything like this before." The food was delicious, but not necessarily memorable. The pricing is on the expensive side, but that's also what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber and location, so I don't consider that a negative. Overall, we had a nice evening, enjoyed the food, and appreciated the service. I would absolutely consider coming back in the future to try more items from the menu. Maybe there are some signature dishes that we missed this time around. If a future visit impresses me a little more, I could definitely see this becoming a 5-star review. For now, it's a solid 4 stars from me.

We had a bad experience because when the restaurant got busy, our server did not put our last order through and we waited for 26 minutes and we ended up skipping the last part of our meal, not by choice, but due to his incompetence. So we did not have a good experience at all.

Ever since the original owner Kenzo Yamada sold the marketplace to the Kohno family (two family members are retail consultants for Japanese department stores) and partner Alex Soto in 2021, Yama Sushi has been expanding beyond the flagship location in San Gabriel. There are currently 3 locations (San Gabriel, West LA, and Koreatown) as of September 2026 with a new 4th location in Sherman Oaks coming soon. [Parking]: Yama shares the same small and free parking lot with Chipotle and the lot is typically packed during busy hours, but there's a high turnover rate so cars are constantly driving in and out of the lot. Even if the lot is packed, there's still free street parking. [Atmosphere]: The marketplace is constantly busy with limited indoor and outdoor seating. [Ordering sashimi]: Visitors take a number first. Once your number is called, then visitors can select fishes that they want and a staff member will cut the fishes into sashimi. [Hot deli]: This location actually offers a hot deli unlike the flagship location in San Gabriel. Some of the items include chicken curry, curry pan, chicken katsu, unagi don, char siu bao, etc. Please note that many of these hot deli items were sold out by the time I got here at 6 PM. [Signature items]: Yama is best known for its signature California Rolls and the shop is constantly making these rolls due to high turnover rates so you know they are always fresh. Another one of my favorite items is the Poke Bowls, but they are always sold out past lunchtime. *** Bara Chirashi (jewels of the sea - tuna, salmon, yellowtail, ika, tamago, avocado, ikura, and seasoned rice - $14.95): This is one of their new items and honestly it is hard to find a chirashi bowl that costs less than $15 in 2026 and tastes this fresh nowadays. A-tier item. Unagi don (aka eel bowl - $9.95): This is one of the most inexpensive eel bowls in Los Angeles and Orange County. It is unbelievable how they can sell an eel bowl for less than $10 in 2026 when places like Marugame Udon sell their grilled eel bento for $20+. S-tier item. *** Come here for lunch for the best experience with the full selection. Expect fresh quality fish and incredible value at Yama. It would be nice if Yama decided to open another location in the South Bay with Torrance being the home to one of the largest Japanese populations outside of Japan. P.S. - Extra $0.20 for a takeout bag.

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.

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.

    NOTE: Dined in on 10/27/24…read more Definitely want to write a couple of reviews before the end of the year to shine some light on restaurants that really need some more love here on Yelp. Rockpool sounds a little generic for a sushi spot, but the quality of the fish is quite delicious for the value. In particular, the lunch omakase is probably amongst the best sushi deals I've had for a sitdown spot. I'd definitely take it into consideration over let's say... Sugarfish. People often talk about how "fresh" fish tastes at sushi restaurants, but I feel like the best raw fish is often aged to an extent. The taste of the fish here is good, but I don't feel that they always use the best cuts. For example, the otoro was tasty, but it was not as marbled as I'm used to seeing. That said, another critically important and often overlooked component of sushi, particularly in handrolls and nigiri, is the rice. The rice here is delicately warm, pairs well with the fish, and has a pleasant, slightly sweet and vinegary taste. Simply delightful. The miso soup was also quite delicious, with a hearty, deep, set of flavors in the soup stock, and the scallop hand roll here was so good, I forgot to take a photo before devouring it haha. The lunch special should be enough food for most folks, but you're always welcome to add additional items to it! Now, is it good enough for me to try the more expensive dinner courses? Debatable, but it might be... just barely! The value proposition is hard to ignore, though. It's certainly one of the best deals you'll find on the Westside.

With the excellent customer service and engaging staff, you bet we will be back for their other omakase options.
