YAMASHIRO

This is a beautiful place with a splendid view over LA. Really pricy though and you have to pay for everything. The steaks come with nothing but the meat. Water is charged. No extra perks are given probably because it’s a tourist driven place. To save money, go up, have a drknk, look at the view.

Not quite what I was expecting, but I still enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was fine. The music felt more like a quiet club than a nice restaurant. I thought the dress attire, being a nice restaurant, would be somewhat nice as well but most other patrons were wearing street clothes etc. Quite noisy where we were.
The drinks were great, delicious, and looked nice/fun. The food itself was delicious. Though, when we ordered everything at the same time, one entree came out, and then 20 minutes later, the appetizer and other entree came out. Definitely was expecting a staggered meal. I didn't think at this caliber restaurant I'd have to distinguish that myself.
The pricing of everything made me uncomfortable. Some items were to be expected, $20-30 range, but others ranged $60+, $80+, even as much as $180+. If this restaurant is worthy of such prices, I'd expect the rest of the experience to be nothing less than exquisite.
All in all, it was nice and I had a good time with the company I was with, but I doubt I'll go back again.

Definitely pricey, but all the food was decent, please note the fried rice is very heavy on the sesame oil if you don't like that flavor

The mandatory valet stole my portable charger and charging cable. Pretty upset about it. Came here with my bf to celebrate our anniversary and when we got home we realize that our charger was stolen. I know it was stolen because i never took it into the restaurant and left it in the car. How rude, so much for a “nice” restaurant. Can’t even trust the employees there.

Good food and attentive staff but the main attraction is definitely the unparalleled view and immaculate decor.
