Sakura House – Sizzling Skewers of Kushiyaki Sakura House has become our favorite restaurant in the Los Angeles area. Having traveled to Japan many times, I can say with confidence — this place is the real deal. The kushiyaki here is outstanding — perfectly skewered and grilled to perfection over special imported Japanese charcoal, which gives every bite an authentic smoky flavor. In addition to the skewers, their bacon-wrapped creations are a must-try! From asparagus, okra, and string beans to tomatoes, enoki mushrooms, and jalapeño peppers — each one is packed with flavor and cooked just right. We also loved the fresh edamame, Yoshi’s Owari Chicken, and the incredibly tasty black pepper chicken wings. Everything was expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Japan in LA, Sakura House is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Solid place for yakitori, with a menu that actually is more expansive than it looks at first glance. Chef Yoshi and his staff are excellent.
Just note it's pretty warm inside, which makes sense, considering a grill dominates the interior

My husband has been coming here since he was a kid. They always treat us well, and it’s amazing Izakaya! We love the otari chicken wings, green tea noodles and everything on a stick. Ask for the mocha custard as soon as you get there as it’s popular and usually sold out. Make a rez or sit at the counter.

Phenomenal food and outstanding service. I ate dinner here between meetings so I was short on time. The two women seating people and waiting tables were flying around as the restaurant got busier & busier, friendly and attentive the whole time. The grill master was a true professional and all five skewers he served me were fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.

The food was absolutely delicious! It’s so cute how they gave your little private table. It was wonderful quality for the price! Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back again.

This is a jewel in the rough. A small Japanese BBQ place that serves the most delicious Yakitori and other California inspired dishes. Reservations are highly recommended. Also try the cold Japanese beer on tap.
For over 15 years, every single time our family visits Los Angeles, there is one place we must go: Sakura House. Without fail, this incredible yakitori restaurant has been a core part of our travels, our traditions, and our most cherished meals together. Simply put, it’s our favorite restaurant of all time!!
The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, both from the friendly staff and the tantalizing aroma of perfectly grilled skewers sizzling over charcoal. The menu is a masterclass in simple, high-quality ingredients transformed into unforgettable flavors. The beef is juicy and smoky, the chicken meatballs are packed with umami, and the mashed potato filled mushrooms are a must-order every time. And don’t forget the pork wrapped jalapeños. So good!🤤
No trip to LA is complete without a visit to Sakura House. It’s more than a restaurant to us, it’s a tradition, a place filled with memories, and a spot we look forward to returning to every single time. If you love authentic, expertly grilled yakitori, this is the place to go.
