My aunt took me here for my birthday dinner. We came on a Sunday around 5:30 PM. The restaurant wasn't quite full yet, but it does get more busy as the night went on. We loved their decor. We got YAKINIKU TRADITIONAL CHEF'S TASTING MENU | 10 COURSE for $78 per person. All the food was really good, definitely high-quality. The food that needed to be cooked was prepared table side by our server. The timing of each course came was just right. This place is definitely an experience. But for people that don't eat as much, they didn't have a lot of selections for people that wanted to order à la carte. Other than that, the food was excellent.
Yakiya are two words meaning grill store which sounds a bit stilted in Japanese. Yakinikuya is the usual default word for a grilled meat restaurant. I then found out this is the high-end restaurant for the Panda Express group using a Japanese format with all things Wagyū (wah ghee yu). Being in Los Ángeles, there are other culinary influences seeping in such as Korean, Argentinean, Indonesian, etc. and of course Chinese. Decor can be described as contemporary East Asian with touches of Japanese Wabi-Sabi understated minimalism & refined Chinese accoutrements such as the gold tone metal chop sticks at the table which continues the motif. There is a bar which was manned by Billy who is a polished, suave barman comfortable and capable enough to perform in a Guide Michelin Trois Étoiles restaurant. He entertained us showing us rare ultra premium Suntory Hibiki Whiskey aged 30 years and Yamazaki Single Malt aged 25 years. 1) Wagyū Smoked Tartare is plush, lush topped with a quail egg yolk and microgreens ceremonially mixed sur la table while there is a wafer of burning Hinoki Japanese Cypress to give off incense like smoke. Placed on a crispy square toast point. 2) Crudité of carrots, crispy cucumber, purple bell pepper with Aka Miso/ red Miso paste. Huge, airy, Indonesian Rengginang/crunchy fried rice chip. 2) Chawan Mushi: A more viscous version of Japanese egg custard soup garnished with woodsy Shītakè (shee tah keh) & what may be Chinese dried Abalone. 3) Miso Black Cod: Sweet white Miso caramelized and cod slightly burnt, sprinkling of Asatsuki/Japanese chives. 4) A5 Zabuton Nigiri: Wildly marbled Kagoshima Wagyū. Zabuton, meaning seat cushion, is the chuck area, located between the neck and the rib of a cow. Plush Zabuton wraps around a small Nigiri of Sushi Rice and topped with Kuki Wasabi/fermented, pickled Wasabi stems. Underlying flavoured soy sauce in the dish. 5) SRF American Wagyū Tongue: Thin disks with hash grill marks chewy yet soft eaten with a flavourful rough chiffonade of green onions, aromatic, toasty sesame oil, sea salt which seems to have Chinese sensibilities. 6) SRF American Wagyū Harami Skirt Steak: Harami means belly meat and it came out pleasantly chewy with good, fatty beefiness. Deliberately cooked to medium to emphasize the chaw. Excellent Chimichurri sauce of green herbs, aged garlic, thick olive oil that complemented the beef. 7) SRF American Wagyū Shortrib: Another wildly but not as marbled, thicker slice that had a pleasant chaw. Used the green onion chiffonade. 8) Wagyū Garlic Rice: Korean Bibimbap like crispy yet moist rice texture augmented with green onions, toasted ground garlic and fatty beefy Umami. Same flavoured soy sauce. Starchy and rich to finish off any hunger present. 1-8a) Kikusui Daiginjō Sakè (sah keh): Using the rare Kikisui Sakè rice, rich body with hints of acid, Kōji/rice earthiness, touch mushroomy, faintly fruity, dry apricot, Japanese Hachiya Persimmon. 8) Yuzu Sorbet with Basil oil: Refreshing mildly bitter sour citrus with slightly musky green herbal. All the staff is very accommodating, welcoming, service oriented. Since they do all the grilling, they instinctively know when to swoop in according to the customers' pace which is amazing. Christian was informative, food knowledgeable, savvy. He helps create a feeling of hospitality that goes a long way in enhancing the Yakiya experience. 4+ stars
This is my second time at Yakiya, and I think it was better than the first time! I'm not sure how it's even possible. Food: AMAZING. The cuts were perfection. The first cold dish is so beautiful. I do not usually eat raw meat, but my experience is pretty pleasant here. The beef tartar tasted very fresh. The cooked cuts melt in your mouth! My favorite dish was actually the miso cod! It's sooooo flavorful. I dream about it still. It's comparable to the black cod dish from nobu. The bone marrow fried rice is just as great as the first time I had it! I want to come back everyday to eat it! Service: Our server is amazing! He cooked everything so well. He made small talk with us and was pretty attentive. Parking: FREE PARKING LOT OUTSIDE! Overall: Their restrooms bring me back to Japan. The seats automatically open up when you enter a stall. All the courses were definitely unforgettable. For the price, everything was unbeatable. It's a wonderful celebratory meal or a regular date night meal. I will definitely be back in the future!
Was in the area and decided to try due to the good reviews. Was worried it was going to be like Chubby Cattle which we didn't like. Thank goodness the food was good. Got the original set. Liked how they asked if we all eat raw meat because of the tartare. They were and to substitute for an extra piece of meat for the non raw meat eater. All the food and meats were well seasoned and spot on. The only negative was the rice was at the end was a like bit too sweet. Servers came around often refilling drinks and were friendly as well. If i lived in the area, I would come more often.
Great service. Didn't have to really do much since the employees here cook for you and always come and check on you. Will come back to try their 11 course menu and see how it defer from the dine in LA special one. Got a few drinks as well to try them out. Their old fashion with the marshmallow was a nice touch and my girlfriend really enjoyed the fog drink. Nice decor inside very modern. Only problem is when I tried calling them to reschedule my reservation that I made a mistake on i didnt get a response when I emailed them and couldn't get through their phone number so I just had to let it go and make another reservation. Which someone would answer or pick up the phone
Yakiya is a wonderful Japanese steakhouse specializing in yakiniku (Japanese grilled meats) in a center table grill with smoke free ventilation. We went during Dine LA and had the 8 course menu and every one was A+ delicious. It included premium cuts like Japanese A5 Wagyu, American Wagyu, Prime beef and a cod that was so buttery and flavorful it was as good as the beef. Jimmy our server made the whole visit such an enjoyable experience for our table of 4. He was a great storyteller and imparted a greater appreciation for the preparation and the quality of the beef. Some cuts are sourced directly from Japan. Billy took care of us at the bar and made some delicious cocktails notably the Mr. Miyagi whisky with puréed ginger and sweet fruit essence. Form the moment you gaze at the entrance adorned with colorful Japanese lanterns and step into the softly lit lobby, you can feel the amount of attention it took to create a harmonious space complete with comfortable seating, beautiful premium bar area and tastefully designed dining room. Definitely worth subsequent visits and a place to take your best friends and family.
We came as a large party of 12. Everyone was so impressed with the professional service we received. Each dish was presented so beautifully, introduced so professionally , and tasted so amazingly. I was surprised to see a Koi fish in the bottom of my sake cup. Then you know the restaurant care about each customer's dining experience & care for all these little details. All 12 of us walked out of this restaurant satisfied & already are setting a date for our next visit. Great job Yakiya! It's really hard to impress every single one of us and you did it!
Came for DineLA! We got the lunch set course for $68 which included tartare, chawanmushi, black cod, A5 zabuton nigiri, Wagyu skirt and short rib, crudités, garlic rice and yuzu sorbet. We added bone marrow to the garlic rice and a A5 ribeye with poached egg. We had reservations and for a set time, as the servers have to prepare some dishes tableside. Most tables seem to also do DineLA so the tables got served the courses together. Nine other dining parties came at the same time as us with three servers taking care which could be a little short staffed. Since we came late by five minutes we were seated last of the time slot and didn't get offered a drink menu. While the dishes seemed small, by the end of the meal we were quite full! The A5 dishes were quite tasty. The Wagyu ones in comparison were less rich but the chimichurri sauce helped. We got some extra dishes not on the menu (Wagyu ribeye and tomatoes) which were a pleasant add! Plenty of parking in the lot shared with Hook burger and various cooperate offices that are not open on weekends.
Came here for DineLA with two other friends. We each got a drink to pair with our dinner. FOOD I don't think there was a single dish I disliked. Definitely wished I had more of a few things. The miso black cod was delicious. The different meats were flavorful and rich. I really liked that there is a built-in fan for the grill so the smoke doesn't get on your clothes. INTERIOR Definitely trendy vibes. Great spot for date night or just cozy gathering with friends. They had stations that could seat up to 8 people comfortably. SERVICE Attentive! They refilled my water a few times without needing to ask. They also cook the meat for you too. PARKING They have a spacious parking lot so parking was not an issue for us. WOULD I COME BACK? Yessss
Great service and value for the Original Tasting Menu from the team that brought you the Panda Inn and Express! We went for dinner on a rainy Saturday, lured in by the exotic cuts of beef on a reasonably priced tasting menu. Was it worth it at this famous Japanese beef concept resto? Short answer is yes, and we will be back, having been sucked in by the sleek but classy casual luxe vibe with its gold and yellow hues contrasting with dark stone. But let's find out more about what we ate, if I can remember (it's 15 courses, but the menu doesn't quite match what you might actually get)... Amuse bouche. Right off the bat, a strong starter. If you dig raw meat tartare, this does not disappoint. The tartlet was a nice little bite, and the pastry was crunchy, pairing well with the sour beef. Running tandem with a more classic raw egg shooter wrapped in nori, and you got a winner with the creamy yolk enhancing the meat. Recommend even if you don't normally do raw meat dishes, and they will ask you up front if you can handle it. Wagyu tataki. Thin beef slice with nice sour vinegar dressing. Served with smoke jar, and so the flavor is very much infused with it. Maybe off putting to some since it is fairly pronounced. Chawanmushi. Might have crab flavor in it, but it was definitely the best chawanmushi I've ever had. Super silky smooth, this dish takes it next level with its superior texture. Served with the seafood broth, scallop, and mushroom, this is a treat between meat courses. Miso sea bass. We love sea bass, and we have had miso-glazed salmon before. But this sea bass is infused with it. Cooked perfectly with its flaky soft meat and with a sweet char caramelization on top, this a delicious seafood course that you don't want to miss. Wagyu "sushi". Think nigiri but with grilled beef. The server cooks this one for you before wrapping it around vinegared sushi rice with some real wasabi. Unlike common fake horseradish wasabi, this is not spicy harsh but pleasantly sweet with, wet, and only a hint of heat. Tasty and so fatty, a delicious course with rice, whetting the appetite for more cooked beef to come... Wagyu with onsen egg. A creamy luxury of a dish, the server cooks the meat and egg separately on the grill. When eating, you coat the meat with the runny egg mix for superb bite of creamy beef infused with soy sauce. Fruit palate cleanser. A small dish of wet candied yuzu, wakamomo (sweet picked baby pears), and yamamomo (sweet pickled Chinese bay berries). Delightfully sweet and sour trio. Side dish of veggies. Carrot sticks, cucumber, and lettuce served with a super tasty miso dip. Also comes with a giant rice cracker. Refillable! (We did.) Beef tongue. Server grilled and served it with a slightly sweet and slightly sour green Japanese chimichurri, this was very fatty tongue. Super soft because it's Wagyu. Wagyu platter. Three different meats, each one increasing into fattiness. Server grilled each one to your liking. The filet is left as the last piece to be served on the final meat course before dessert... The garlic miso bone marrow rice. A fantastic savory finisher. The server mixes the bone marrow and miso paste into the rice, and it comes out like fried rice. Then the server places the filet on top like a steak donburi. Meat is so soft you can just bite it with chopsticks as you pair each one with a mouthful of fatty rice. Best food combo, steak and rice, of course. Dessert. The yuzu sorbet (my fave) was sweet and sour with bitter notes, covered a sweet matcha sauce. But the matcha bomb, a white chocolate shell, explodes matcha in your mouth when you bite into it for a fantastic meal finish. Overall, definite recommend. Get the original tasting menu if you can spend the time and have the room for it. It's a great value for the experience and what you get. Until next time!
We did a dineLA meal with the grilled meats. Servers were procedural and friendly. The grilling is all customers hands free and prepared for you by the staff. Design inside is darker and seems modern. Good for a date night. Every dish was really good and enjoyable. Beef consistently had marbled wagyu fat that melts comfortably. The fish came out juicy and buttery. There was not really any dishes that I did not enjoy. Everything was presented neatly. I guess the only awkward part was my utensils getting taken before I was finished on the last dish. Not a big deal, they have me another fork.
My partner had taken me to the Hacienda Heights location last year for my birthday and I had such an amazing time. It was also fun to be able to take a birthday shot down a bone marrow. It was exciting to see the Pasadena location open so I decided to take my parents here this year about 2 weeks after my birthday and I had just as great as an experience. I mentioned taking a birthday shot last year and our server also offered it to me as well! read more
This is my last review for 2023, so I wanted this to be a nice dinner with the wife at a new Japanese restaurant. The young staff and atmosphere is upscale and everyone was working hard from what I saw. Our server is so nice and helpful, and always professional in her serving us. Lastly, the food was remarkable, as it was prepared before our eyes, with some nice photo opportunities with the smoked meat and the cooking of USDA Prime and A5 Wagyu beef. I loved the timing of each course, and felt that each complemented the upcoming dishes. If you are a meat eater, don't be shy dining on steak tartare or the several other proteins served during the course of dinner. I believe the restaurant is competitive with other Japanese Wagyu restaurants, and has a nice clean atmosphere. We'll be back for a special occasion, maybe Valentine's Day! read more
Very fancy ambiance and service which is expected at this place. Big part of the experience is the presentation of the food and description by the server. Very untraditional dishes that are picked by the chef. Ribeye outer skirt is my favorite and the Inside skirt good/alright. read more

After almost 2 years, my husband and i finally went on a movie and dinner date. This is because it took us awhile to find a caregiver for our sons. First time to do fine dining at Yakiya. Ambience and food was just amazing. Everything tasted great and i don't even like raw food but i liked the ones they served as appetizers. The food just kept on coming. Our server, Conrad, was on top of it. He lets us know what he is serving and made sure my husband's glass of water is filled up esp when it's low. Hubby's favorite was the bone marrow fried rice. The bartender, Alfredo, was entertaining us too while we waited for our table. He made us this drink called Geisha's lips. Hubby had 2. Conrad got photos of us made of sugar - so cute! All in all, we love everything. A little bit pricey but it was worth it. read more
Wow! You know how the food critic from Ratatouille leaves the restaurant speechless because how good the meal was? Yea that was me lol from once you enter, the entire atmosphere and ambiance sweeps you away. Black and gold details, beautiful lighting, a great spot for a date or special occasion. The service was incredible with unique, fun dishes just continuously coming out. If you aren't familiar with this restaurant, there is no menu. There's basically one fixed menu for about $125 per person that includes a lot of raw meat, cooked meat and seafood options. You should keep this in mind with the group you come with. I personally thought it was a fun experience! Now for the food, what a true delight. The first few dishes really set the tone for how good the food quality would be: A5 New York strip, Dungeness crab, and a delightfully displayed veggie plate. The quality of the cooked meats was extremely well done, and I felt the cooks did a great job preparing the meat so well. Can't praise enough how good the food was. Will definitely be back for more. Parking is super convenient in their free lot, and depending on how fast you eat, expect to be there for 2 hours. Definitely visit!! read more
I was so excited to hear about Yakiya's second location! Pasadena is so much closer to me and now it's easier to dine here even more often. We frequently dine at the Hacienda location but this is much more convenient now. Their menus are slightly different, there's new seafood appetizers here like the yellowtail sashimi and toro with caviar, delicious! I believe the meat courses are the same as other location. I did notice Pasadena doesn't serve the beef cheek oxtail soup, it's one of my favorite dishes so that was a bummer! Ambiance is great, and the service is always amazing, our servers always take care of us. No complaints, we will be back ! read more

Wow... service to the food, everything was FINE dining. My husband and I went to go celebrate his birthday, and we know we will definitely be back! Some things to note: -Our server Conrad went above and beyond with professionalism and warmth to make our experience so special. I would definitely want him as our server again. From his knowledge of the meats to his cooking, he made the dining experience unforgettable. -The amount of food was amazing! We were soooo full (and we are big eaters). Meat eaters - I would recommend you to hold on the veggies to save your appetite to finish the meat without feeling full. Enjoy the veggies at the end. -Leave room for dessert! Their desserts were amazing and so worth it! -Ask your server for a drink that will complement your meal. It elevates your dining experience! read more

I absolutely love Yakiya. I have been to both locations and it was amazing both times!! The menu doesn't change too often so it's reserved for only special occasions. My partner and I celebrated our anniversary and the staff was amazing! He has some special food allergies and they accommodated them! They took special care to make sure everything was okay for him. It really made the experience!! read more

Super cute special occasion place. The food was fantastic. It is a pre fix menu for $128 per person. Everything that came to our table was delicious. It was our wedding anniversary and they even gave us a special treat at the end of our meal. They have an extensive bar menu with lots of high end alcohols that are fairly priced. My husband ordered a $90 pour of Hibiki 17 that is his favorite. They also have a selection of wines by the glass that were delightful. Overall we had a wonderful experience and I would recommend it for a special night out. read more
The restaurant is located right across the street from Best Buy and El Torito on Foothill. Situated right next to Hook Burger. There's plenty of free parking available, but it also shares the parking lot with the businesses in the same center. They just opened about 2 months ago and walking in, you can definitely see how classy it looked. I made reservations on Resy and I am glad I did because as the night went on, it started to fill up. This place is a tasting menu style of restaurant. While checking in, the hostess will ask if there are any food allergies and pass that on to the kitchen. You are not given any menus, except for drinks. Each person is $128 and you are served 14 courses. It's a mixture of beef and a few seafood items right at the start. They change out their menu every 3-6 months, so the quantity could be less than 14 or maybe even more. Our server was outstanding and I really like the both of my drinks (Fog on Mt. Fuji & Night in Roppongi). Every single dish was fantastic and asian inspired ingredients. I don't normally give 5 stars, but the service, ambiance, food and drinks made this a fantastic experience. You have to come here. read more

Yakiya Pasadena provides a fine dining yakuniku experience with some of the best sourced ingredients! The menu is slightly different from its Hacienda Heights location featuring more seafood selections on top of their top Wagyu guest favorites! I had a great experience with my server and staff there as everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable! The lightly dimmed setting along with the comfortable seating allowed me and my guests to relax and have a fun evening as our server prepared all our courses for us! Cocktails here are also delicious and refreshing! read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday and had a great experience. The restaurant has its own parking lot making parking a breeze. What I appreciate most are the servers being attentive without being too pushy. The courses were also all on point, and spaced well between one another. It was nice trying a different omakase than the usual sushi places we go to. read more

Woahhhh dont even hesitate to come here. This place was absolutely such an amazing experience. Loved every course that came out! Definitely a unique experience everyone should try at least once. My friend treated me out for a late birthday celebration and they have a cute surprise if you are celebrating. Our waiter was Angelo and he was probably one of the best servers Ive ever had. We came on a Thursday evening and it wasn't too busy. They also have convenient parking in the front. read more

Had the pleasure of dining here last night for my wife's birthday. What an incredible experience. The food was phenomenal. It's a 17 course fixed meal. Great ambience inside the restaurant. The staff and in particular Hut and David went above and beyond to provide an excellent customer experience. I strongly recommend this restaurant. read more
We were looking for somewhere local to celebrate our anniversary and I am so happy we found Yakiya! Easily made a dinner reservation online the day before. I wasn't sure what to expect, but Yakiya exceeded our expectations. Since it's a prefix Chef's menu, all you need to do is show up and enjoy. Every dish was beautifully presented, and delicious. The pace of the dishes coming out was well timed, and the staff and servers are all very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Decor and atmosphere is casual but with a classy vibe. The servers all wear suits, so definitely dress it up when you come so you don't spoil the scenery lol. The price for the food quality and the amount of dishes is very reasonable. I look forward to my next visit! read more

One of the best meals I've had recently! I've been wanting to try this place for a few years now (the Hacienda Heights location), but never got around to it until they opened super close to me. Def did not disappoint! It is priced at 128$ per person and I think it was worth it. They give various cuts of meats, some seafood, and a few dishes with japanese wagyu. I left feeling sooo stuffed. Some of my favs were the bone marrow fried rice, tuna with caviar, and wagyu tartare. Service was also amazing. Our server was Angelo, and he was knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. Ambiance was also great with nice decor. Would highly recommend checking it out for a special occasion! read more

i consider yakiya to be fine dining and for the price you pay the service should be spectacular i've been to the yakiya in hacienda heights and the service and ambience was always 100/10 unfortunately this location falls short in multiple ways.. 1. im not sure if it's just because our server was new or something but there were many times where we were sitting for more than 10 minutes at a time wondering if we were going to be serviced or given the next course. 2. after making a comment asking where our next course is (after waiting so long) all of a sudden we were rushed with 3 different items, i don't remember it being like this at the other yakiya location i also think i was caught off guard by the entire vibe of the restaurant and the way the service was just eh. It is VERY LOUD in there which can be due to the fact that there r more tables, but it doesn't help that the servers also talk to other servers when they walk past the tables. overall food quality was good but was ruined by the bad service. if you want yakiya, skip this location and go to the hacienda heights location for a more intimate fine dining service rather than this location. read more

Amazing experience here at Yakiya! Probably some of the finest beef I have ever had in my entire life without breaking the bank. Set menu so there's nothing to fuss over - it's a full course guided meal. Thanks Jordan, our superb waiter/caretaker for taking care of us and explaining the intricacies of every dish. Beef heaven! And the bar is fully stocked great location and easy parking. It's worth it! read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant of all time. From management all the way down to front of the house, they go above and beyond each and every time. I can't stress enough on how down to earth all our servers have been. Me and my girlfriend have been to quite a handful of omakase wagyu style restaurants and they never ever meet our standards. However, Yakiya always goes above and beyond. Apart from the beautiful presentation, you'll leave this place feeling so satisfied and full. I can't wait for the next occasion to come visit this establishment. read more

Shoutout to Ashtin, for snagging us a table at the new Yakiya Pasadena location. Michael our server for the evening was very sweet and kindly explained all menu items thoroughly. I had been to the Yakiya in Hacienda heights a few years back and this one just feels so much more calm and lush (the bathrooms are a whole experience in itself). Parking is quite easy too. The food has always been a home run but they changed up their menu items for this location, so you must come taste for yourself. Delicious is an understatement. You'll be delighted by every single thing that touches the table. My favorites were the crab, the beef tongue, and the highly anticipated A5 wagyu. They paired the wagyu this time with a poached egg and it just about sent me to heaven's gates. The wow factor, the service, and the taste are 10/10. Yakiya does it every time. 11/14/23 read more
Amazing service, amazing experience, amazing food. We are so impressed by Conrad and the team at YAKIYA. We came for my mom's birthday and she was WOW'd. If you're looking to spoil your loved ones with delicious drinks, food, and quality time. Come here!!! Another thank you to Melissa, Jordan, Christian, and Logan for the best time! read more

Ammmazzzzing experience! We stopped here first for a drink at the bar while we waited for our reservations elsewhere. Conrad the bartender just made us feel instantly welcome, he learned our names and took the time to get to know us. I ordered the lychee Skytree drink and it was flavorful and delightful!! In our party we also had a generous pour of wine and the best old fashioned I've ever tried. Each drink was crafted to perfection in darling glassware, stamped ice and the attention to detail was spectacular! We had two rounds and didn't want to leave because we were having the best time sitting at the bar top meeting new friends. Christian was the manager and took the time to welcome us and we were again so impressed with how happy and sincerely kind everyone was! We felt VIP and I can't wait to come back. Ohhhh and we had an appetizer that looked like art, so gorgeous and insanely tasty! Can't say enough about how much fun we had and literally, I'll be dreaming about coming back! Thank you Conrad and Christian for the greatest evening. read more
