17 Best Japanese Restaurants in Beverly Hills

“Eating at Jade Beverly Hills was a really nice experience. The staff was quick to get us seated, however it was a Wednesday evening so there were a handful of open tables. Food was amazing including the A5 Wagyu Beef Tartare and hand rolls! We also splurged and got the dessert even though we were pretty full with dinner. We got the strawberry meringue dessert which was a standout to finish off our meal!“

“Exquisite cuisine- chef was formally trained in Japan and his expertise shines through in every dish. Particularly the lightest, crispiest tempura once could ever hope to enjoy. Attentive, perfect service. Only knock is that it’s quite expensive, making this a once-every-five-years kind of culinary experience. That being said, we will be talking about this meal for weeks. It was *that* good. Life is short: treat yourself!“

“Best sushi anywhere! Been going to Sasabune for decades.“

“one of the best! good food,good service 👍👍“

“Excellent food Excellent service“

“Their wagyu beef is so delicious! I cannot believe how soft they are and flavor is unbelievable. My recommendation is sukiyaki, but shabu shabu is good for variety.“

“seats 10 for a personalized tour of sushi for the purist. exceptional style and quality of fish. superbly presented by a Michelin star chef on front of you. book far in advance“

“Five stars all around. The fish quality at Seabutter Beverly Hills is outstanding, and every dish is thoughtfully prepared. The Salmon Truffle, Double T nigiri with toro and truffle, and the Spicy Tuna crispy were all incredible. Service was warm and attentive, and the overall experience felt polished from start to finish. One of the best sushi spots in Beverly Hills.“

“One of the best restaurants in my life.Japanese style yakiniku restaurant. course only. Referral system. It is run by a Japanese couple.A shop where cult wines and fine wines gather and delicious ingredients gather.I was able to eat natto here when I was young?If you go to LA, make a reservation.The store is visited by many Japanese celebrities, athletes, and foreign celebrities.“

“Great dining experience. The Trust Me menu delivers consistently fresh fish and perfectly seasoned rice. Service is efficient and polished, making it a reliable go to when you want quality sushi without distractions. Portions are normal for sushi standards, a bit expensive but its worth it given its in beverly hills and the quality. Servers very nice and polite.“

“We just happened to be in the area and I heard good things about Jade so I wanted to try this place out. There was a wonderful piano player singing while we were there. I liked her music. We happened to get there around happy hour so we got the Tokyo mule and Beverly blossom. Both were delicious. Many of the items we tried were cheaper than the dinner rush. We ordered spicy tuna crisp and the wagu Gyoza. Both were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the diamond roll which was perfect. All the flavors were amazing. We ordered the mango mochi and meringue desserts to try out after. If you havnt been to Jade yet, you have to try it out. It's a great date night spot or even a girls night out spot.“

“Absolute best sushi in Los Angeles. Cannot go wrong with Boss!“

“We absolutely love this sushi place! The food is always great, always correct, and the crispy rice is actually warm every time. We used to order through DoorDash, it was more expensive but they often had buy one get one free specials that made it worth it. Eventually we started walking over to pick up our orders instead, and Didi who works the register was so kind and matched the special for us! She even gave me her personal cell number because all the numbers online go to a call center and I could never reach the actual store.

My husband and I love this place and are so sad to have moved away, but we still stop by for pickups whenever we can. Didi is the sweetest, she always remembers us and even asks how our dog is who we used to walk over with. Truly such great food and even better people!“

“12 days in a row. This place is flawless. There is a special 12 sashimi with random sauce that I love. The rice pudding and cappuccino desserts are a must. The iced green tea is great. Don't skimp. Don't ask. Just eat and be happy.“

“This restaurant is great if you like take out sushi. They used to have a sit down restaurant years ago but has relocated to a pick up only. Sushi rolls are large and justifies the price. It's very tasty and quality is up there. I like how consistent they are. I never had one bad order come from them. You can tell if you're getting questionable fish by the smell of the restaurant and this place never smells bad. I.e. fish that's close to spoiling has this distinct smell. The only downside is that the folks running the place are a bit older so on a busy Friday/Saturday night the order can take a half hour or more. Their website needs a refresh but I uploaded some photos of their menu.“

“This was delicious. Wow. Servers were great and informative“

“Every time I eat here, I briefly consider quitting my job and becoming a professional roll taster.

Let’s start with the facts:
Every single roll is impeccable. Not good, not solid, not “decent for LA”—I’m talking melt-in-your-mouth, send-a-text-about-it-later kind of sushi.
The fish? So fresh it probably signed a lease in Beverly Hills five minutes before hitting my plate. I’ve never had a bite that wasn’t beautifully balanced, perfectly cut, and just the right amount of “oh my god, what is that sauce?”

But what really makes this place special is the dream team behind it:
• Yumi, the namesake and co-owner, is an angel sent from the sushi gods—always warm, welcoming, and somehow makes every visit feel like you’ve been invited to the family dinner table.
• Ted, her husband and the sous chef, is back there slicing fish and breaking hearts. He’s quiet, focused, and clearly putting love into every single roll. (Like… literal love. I can taste it.)
• And Hero, the head chef, is a legend. I don’t know what kind of secret ninja training he went through to cut sashimi this cleanly, but I support it. His technique is surgical and his creations are chef’s kiss every time.

Yumi is the kind of place you want to gatekeep but also shout about from the rooftops. It’s cozy, consistent, and criminally underrated.

So if you see me there, mind your business.
I’m just having a spiritual awakening with a spicy tuna roll.

11/10. Would roll myself home and do it all again.“
