Omakase wagyu was amazing, probably the best meal of my life. Price is worth it for special occasions, make sure to get a reservation too!They also grill the meat for you! Also, one thing, is that the water bottle is charged at an obscene rate of like $10/bottle, so make sure to ask for tap water.Parking: Park in neighborhood or in public lots nearby

The restaurant is overrated. The bbq was mediocre but the price was high (150$ / person) and you don't get any standard sides such as kimchi , salad, rice or radish. You need to pay for any extra. The waiter was acting more like a seller that convinces you to buy additional stuff like caviar
We were unexpectedly disappointed at this time and we were at this restaurant several times, that's why came back to enjoy Christmas ? weekend to relax and experience pre Christmas meal. The prices here always been high, that's another problem for the quantity that they offer, but we were willing to pay $400 for two, things gratuity and attitude. They add gratuity now 18% to start auto without even asking, which is illegal! Why won't you just pay your employees more?!! At menu says 6 or more ppl and on check suggested, but they charge anyways and did not tell us ahead! Very unprofessional! Then argue about it. Ruined our weekend and felt like wasted money.

Second time visit this year. It is ABSOLUTELY wonderful. Their wagyu is never frozen and you can taste it. Highly recommend if you didn’t like Wagyu before (which I am).

Overall, an excellent experience. One of the few places in the nation that does Wagyu correctly.  Highly recommended! We had Tsugu sake and Hundred Acre wine, which were good combinations with the beef dishes. Excellent service, tailored the courses with the beverages.
Server was super attentive since we were the only ones at the restaurant during that time. He cooked our meats for us and explained the different cuts of meat. Overall, I had a pleasant experience.
Just popped in one evening for a quick bite to eat and this Japanese wagyu beef curry turned out to be literally one of the best things I've put in my mouth. Go and try one!

The service is absolutely nice. I’d firstly recommend the beef tongue, crunchy but soft, very top. Secondly, the Yazawa Special Rice. It smells and tastes perfect, can eat it with soup and wasabi. The whole ‘rice & noodle’ list looks tasty, too.I’d not order the chef’s selection next time. They are all too rich for me. I don’t feel well after eating too oily. Two of the appetizer is raw and very salty. And I don’t like the egg yolk ‘bubble’ sauce of Yazawa-Yaki. IMA has the better egg yolk dipping sauce. However, drinks and tea are excellent.

Family favorite! Came with youngest D to catch up before she flew out. Always enjoy our meals as the staff do a great job at meeting our needs; whether it is 10 of us or just 2. Tonight, Jonathan was our server...and ALWAYS does a GREAT job. Amenable, polite, and willing to meet our needs. We had a "go to favorites"; Kalbi with salt & pepper. The sanchu with the miso paste was a good compliment with our beef and Yazawa Garden salad. Then, we closed out with Wagyu Udon and Yazawa Curry Rice. Closing out with a nice hot tea. The food is consistent, ambiance is balanced, and the evening was great. Looking forward to coming back in a few weeks with the w our oldest D as this is a "must" on her visit list to LA.

Yazawa is the best yakiniku experience that I've tried. It makes sense considering the hefty price tag of the place. Not only is the food top notch, but the service is impeccable too. You get multiple courses of different variations in how they prepare the meat. Everything just melts in your mouth. I absolutely loved the egg dipping sauce.
