Sushi Yamamoto@Beverly Hills ★★★

Yusuke-san Did It Again. Best Meal Ever. Absolutely exceptional service. Friendly and chill. Much better than Urasawa. Chef Yusuke-san is very attentive and literally takes notes of his customers. He observed a left-handed customer and served sushi the other way. I had the time of my life while enjoying superb quality sushi. Their Toro and Uni are to die for. Enjoyed having Ohmine Winter's Arrival Sake. Sparkling nigori, perfect for celebration. 8 seats only. Omakase $390. (add-ons available at extra cost) Wine & Sake Pairing $235. Corkage fee $150. Green tea $9. Bottled water from Kaneyama, Japan $15 (tap water not available). Reservations open to public May 2nd via Tock. Valet parking, $10 flat rate self-parking after 6pm, or you can park at Beverly Canon Gardens Parking (240 N. Beverly Dr) for $5 flat rate after 6pm and walk 1.5 blocks over.
