Originally built in 1914 as a private estate and later converted into one of Los Angeles’ favorite sushi restaurants, Yamashiro’s history is as diverse as its menu. Located on a hillside overlooking all of Hollywood, the restaurant offers far-flung views of the city from its glassed-in front porch area, plus elegant garden surroundings for diners in its inner courtyard. Menu-wise, the chefs use mango, macadamia nuts, coconut, mushrooms and other unusual sushi ingredients to create light, delicately flavored rolls, appetizers and entrees. We recommend the Hawaii Five-O, a yellowtail roll with a mango twist, or one of the flavorful fish entrees for a light, classy dining experience. Parking is valet-only, so come prepared.
