Yazawa Japanese BBQ

Beef quality was great, but poor value for price. The service by the middle-aged Japanese female server was condescending and short, and ruined the experience.

Food was amazing Quyen was very attending and one of the best servers I’ve had I definitely recommend asking for her when you go there

Worst experience in the history of a restaurant for me. I came in on March 27th and ordered a main course rib eye steak, and he comes back and says

- we don’t have it and then another one he says no we don’t have that either,
- I said what’d you recommend then,
- he said, the ribs are really good,
- I said fine, I’ll do the ribs then

The “ribs”, what comes it’s 4 tiny super super thin slices of meat that makes a total of less then two bites of a steak. He knew I was talking about a main course and he gave me an appetizer!
Plus the veggies and rice came in when we were about to leave.
Horrible I can’t say it enough how unprofessional and bad this was. It’s they hate the owner of the restaurant, poor dude he doesn’t know who’s representing his business.
Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY.

One of the most distinctive & special dining experiences I've had in a while. Worth every penny. Can't believe we hadn't been here before. The Yazawa Omakase was eyebrow raising at nearly every course. From the mixed vegetable salad to the various cuts of Wagyu, this legitimately put other purveyors of beef in Beverly Hills & the Westside to shame. Can't wait to return.

The food was delicious. Excellent varied cuts of Japanese A5. The service was also excellent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and personable. Great decor!

Absolutely incredible dinner and experience. Probably one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The service is also ridiculously incredible. We all had the Omakase...and it was unbelievable.

Worst food I have ever had. I got food sickness and the manager there was so rude. I would never wish this place for anyone!! I have been throwing up non stop. The management doesn’t care at all. Horrible people.

this place has a history of health violations!!!

Avoid Yazawa in Beverly Hills at all costs. Seriously, I wouldn’t wish what we went through on anyone. we got food poisoning from hell. cramps, chills, and a night spent glued to the bathroom.

Servers and manger who claims she is not the manager is horrible. Cross-contamination everywhere. The grill area looked grimy, and honestly, something smelled off.

We reached out to management, hoping they’d at least care. Nope. Just a cold, canned response with zero accountability. No apology, nothing. Makes you wonder what else they’re sweeping under the rug.

We’re not the only ones who got sick. there are tons of similar complaints if you dig around.

Got it! Here's a polished review you can use: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yazawa has quickly become my new favorite restaurant! The quality of the food is outstanding, with every dish prepared to perfection. The flavors are rich and authentic, and the attention to detail is evident in every bite. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal, whether for a special occasion or just a casual night out. The service is top-notch—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Yazawa is the place to go! Highly recommend.

This is maybe my 4th or fifth time at this restaurant however this trip was awful. I took my brother and his wife for her birthday and it was nothing like it had been before. The server gave us absolutely no information on the menu, how to order the the types of meat where the meat comes from. On my previous visits I was given a complete history of wagyu beef, I had to ask him questions, as to what area of the cow different cuts came from and that was part of the initial approach when they came to the table every other time I dined here. My garlic rice was burned, $72 for two.. burned garlic rice is unacceptable

Food was amazing. Wasn't overly impressed w the rest but generally happy with the quality of the meal. Experience myself was sub par.

We came here for my sister's birthday dinner as we both have had yakiniku in Japan and she loves it. The restaurant is very private and has a nice ambiance. We both got the signature omakase, and it was a good amount of food for both of us. However, we both don't eat a ton so if you are hungry or eat more generally it may not be enough food for you. Our server was also very attentive and made sure to explain each cut of meat to us carefully. The meat quality is great and the various seasonings they let us try were great. One drawback here is that the omakase only includes the meat (you have to pay to add anything else—salad, rice, dessert, etc) and we wished a little that we had something to eat between the meats. For this price point you would expect maybe some other things to be included in this set, as other omakase usually have. Additionally, I had asked the hostess if they did anything special for birthdays but they don't really offer anything of that kind. I would say maybe just don't expect a lot if you are coming for a special occasion as it will be more just like a standard meal.

Fabulous! Food, service and ambience!!! Don’t miss your opportunity to have some of the best Wagyu in the city! U star all around!!!

We wanted to have Premium Japanese Wagyu during our time in Japan. So did some research and were recommended to Meat Yazawa. We ordered the top of the line filet mignon and sirloin that they offered. It was absolutely delicious! Definitely Expensive but 100% worth it. Service was excellent and has a good atmosphere as well. Will definitely be coming back here on our next trip to Tokyo.

First time there the waiter, Jonathan walked us through what to experience. It was the most incredible mood I've ever eaten. I really appreciated his expertise and it was a great meal.
