michael deveroJanuary 11, 2015The Miso Soup and Crunchy Chicken appetizers are outstanding! The Miso Soup is probably the best in the world and the chicken is delicious. The view from the restaurant is a must see.
Abbey KeckJune 3, 2021The Kobayashi cocktail (replace tequila with vodka) is a great starter. Then get the waygu beef skewers if you eat red meat. Definitely get the Dragon and the Fiery Dragon rolls.
Connie ChiuJanuary 27, 2019It’s a gorgeous spot, both interior and exterior for the LA lights view. The food itself isn’t amazing, pretty white washed. Parking is $10 valet and you don’t really have other options.
@JaumePrimeroDecember 2, 2012Love this cozy fusion Japanese restaurant in the hills of Hollywood. The food is delicious and creative; even if you aren't hungry having a cocktail at night is a must. What a view!
Offbeat L.A.January 28, 2016Opened 1960. Fine Japanese-style dining. Building constructed in 1914, with romantic views and L.A.’s oldest structure- a 600 year-old pagoda.
Stacy Bo BacyAugust 6, 2018Make a reservation to visit around sunset. Go for the view and a sushi roll, but skip all the mixed drinks.
Lisa LeeJune 18, 2012A very romantic place! You should try and get a seat besides the window so you can look at the view while you dine. For dessert, try the strawberry doughnut dessert or the ice cream cookie sandwich!
ZenFoodsterOctober 3, 2015Celebrated my big 4-0 @ this old Hollywood haunt w/ my best LA friends. Come for the drinks, grounds & sunset views but not for the pricey food.
JennNovember 7, 2011Great Japanese food, with an awesome Hollywood view. It's expensive and hard to get to - since it's located near the Hollywood Bowl. Try the Darth Vader roll.
Manish HittalmaniApril 29, 2016Go there before this landmark closes for good! Great views of Hollywood and the rest of LA! Looks especially nice at night
Nidhi KayMay 3, 2022Miso cod and wagyu yakitora very good, also like baked lobster roll and chef val, white dragon
Hillary NoelleApril 13, 2015Great view but bad for vegetarians. Almost no options for non-meat eaters. Dessert and wine were great. Cook indoor garden area.
BollareNovember 27, 2012Perfect ambience for a date spot with yummy food and cocktails, especially during the summer when the Pagoda Bar is open. –Sophie
Joy AllenMay 23, 2011The best view in Los Angeles! Great food and drinks too! I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, it turned out even better than I had planned. I highly recommend going here :)
Cindy SinJanuary 7, 2013Himalayan salt stake cooked at your table, Darth Vader roll, sake, s'mores and a great view. Nice Sunday date place.
Fatma GencNovember 20, 2015We had a great menu with sushi. Wagyu wasnt that special and desserts were not so. But the view is worth it!
Kate MorganMarch 25, 2013Come on a Thursday for the farmers market. Stay for drinks on the patio overlooking the city. No other place like it.
JessicaApril 19, 2010I'm not a sushi person but my friends raved about how great it was. The view of the city is AMAZING. And the ice cream - cookie sandwich is the best dessert I've ever had, you have to order it.
y contentAugust 26, 2011Great view, great food, great prices. Hit the Pagoda Bar and check out the garden area. Farmer's Market 5pm-9pm on Thursdays. Lamb & Maine Lobster were succulent^2- Sydney WilliamsOctober 12, 2014Salt Plate Wagyu is amazing. Ask for Nader, best service ever, super attentive.
Mollie MFebruary 19, 2017Kyoto palace turned restaurant in LA—with some of the best views out there.
Yvette BetancourtJune 24, 2014Best sushi restaurant with killer views! You can't go wrong coming here during the day or night.
Ana VitikMarch 18, 2015The loveliest place. They are more than happy to make you a vegan roll which is not on the menu :)
Abdullah OAugust 14, 2013Great location great food, make sure to sit by the windows to enjoy the city view
Jessie LeeSeptember 10, 2014The lobster and the NZ lamb were badly overlooked. The sushi and sashimi were fresh. Overall the main dishes were quite disappointing.
- Stacey ToddSeptember 1, 2011get there by sunset, and watch the city glow during magic hour! grand food, ambiance, drinks patrons and service :D
- Jon GluckSeptember 12, 2011Ask for Christina at the bar and have her make amazeballs raspberry lemon drop shots! And feel free to hit on her, she's a cutie :)
Emily PrendergastJuly 6, 2018Bland, overpriced food and terrible service. Literally had to chase down the waitress to get our check after our desserts never showed up. Don’t waste your money, come see the view and then leave 👎
Jessica DuBoisNovember 30, 2013Ask for table near window. The service is excellent and the food great. NOT cheap.
Bloomingdale'sAugust 18, 2010Picture this: you’re perched atop a hill, sitting in a poolside pagoda-style bar, the twinkling lights of LA spread before you like a sea of jewels. How do you say “romantic” in Japanese?
Rowena CosucoJune 12, 2013This is the place for a Martini with a view! I love their Lychee Martini :)))
KatrinaJanuary 27, 2015Food is not great and it is expensive here but you are here for the atmosphere and the killer view. Great for dates.
KenApril 8, 2013The food is good (not stellar), but not traditional Japanese. Remember to carry $15 in cash to take care of valet parking.
Alejandro Lund GagliesiJuly 8, 2013The view is amazing, good service and food is highly recommended.
Nourah Al-TwaijriJune 30, 2013Delicious Food, Great service, amazingly beautiful views of LA! I love it!
Monica PatrickNovember 7, 2017It was ok. Not too many items to choose from if you are strict vegan/ vegetarian.
Melinda FlynnJanuary 22, 2012WowZers try the Reclining Buudha for a special treat that will rock your taste buds!! Yummmmmm!!!!
