🌮 Curious about the local dining scene? Here’s a closer look at Curry in hurry to see what makes this place worth a visit.

YAZAWA offers an elevated Japanese dining experience in the heart of Beverly Hills. The space blends minimalist Japanese design with California sophistication - think dark wood accents, soft lighting, and an open kitchen where you can watch master chefs at work. What sets them apart is their premium Japanese barbecue selection, where you can grill A5 Wagyu and specialty cuts at your table, alongside an incredible sushi bar and traditional dishes. The atmosphere is both lively and intimate, perfect for date nights or special celebrations.

As I sat at YAZAWA’s sleek counter, the sushi chef presented me with the most exquisite nigiri I’ve ever experienced. The tuna melted on my tongue like butter, while the rice had that perfect subtle warmth and vinegar balance. Each piece was crafted with such precision - the fish-to-rice ratio was absolute perfection. The uni (sea urchin) was particularly memorable, bursting with oceanic sweetness that lingered beautifully. This isn’t just sushi - it’s edible art that transports you straight to Tokyo’s finest establishments.

The sashimi at YAZAWA is nothing short of spectacular. The chef’s knife skills are evident in each translucent slice of fish that practically glistens under the soft lighting. I tried their premium assortment featuring toro (fatty tuna), hamachi (yellowtail), and madai (sea bream). Each variety had its own distinct texture and flavor profile - the toro rich and buttery, the hamachi clean and slightly sweet, and the madai with its delicate firmness. Served with freshly grated wasabi and house-made soy sauce, this is sashimi at its absolute finest.

On a cooler Beverly Hills evening, YAZAWA’s ramen proved to be the ultimate comfort food. The broth - oh, that broth - simmered for over 48 hours, creating a rich, pork-bone tonkotsu base that was creamy and deeply flavorful. The noodles had the perfect springy texture, and the chashu pork belly was so tender it practically dissolved. Topped with a marinated soft-boiled egg, bamboo shoots, and fresh scallions, this bowl was pure warmth and satisfaction in every spoonful.

The restaurant has a casual and intimate atmosphere, with dim lighting and comfortable seating. The walls are decorated with traditional Japanese artwork, and there is a small bar area in the corner. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family.

I will preface with the fact that I am a huge yakiniku lover. You’ll find me frequenting Anjin, Tsuruhashi, and Manpuku. YAZAWA blew me out of the water…

First of all, the entrance is the hole in the wall looking wooden door, not the glass door next door where their shabu shabu/sukiyaki restaurant is. I want…
