Yamashiro Hollywood
Website Directions 323-466-5125

Perched high in the Hollywood Hills, Yamashiro is a historic Asian palace replica offering Asian-fusion dining and sushi. Guests can dine alongside tranquil Japanese gardens, traditional koi ponds, and a 600-year-old pagoda. 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.

Quick tip: Book sunset reservations well in advance to secure outdoor garden seating overlooking the city.
