Perched high in the Hollywood Hills, Yamashiro is a historic Asian palace replica offering Asian-fusion dining and sushi.

It remains a classic destination for cocktails and sweeping panoramic views of the Los Angeles skyline.
History
Yamashiro Hollywood was built in 1914 as a private estate and social club, mimicking a palace in the Yamashiro mountains near Kyoto, Japan. Over the decades, it transformed from a private residence to a boys' military school, and later to an apartment complex before becoming a renowned dining destination.
