Best Japanese Restaurants in Hollywood

Our server, Arturo, was phenomenal. He spent a lot of time helping us decide what to get and it was perfect.

Celebrated my retirement and the ambience, band and show was a lot of fun. Drinks were pricey, food was great and showroom ambience was shabby chic and I love that. Outdoors was a vibe. Great place to celebrate an event and have fun.

The service, food, drinks and ambiance were incredible. I haven’t had that much fun at a restaurant in a long time. Our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were taking care of for my sister’s birthday and we are so grateful! Thank you!

Came here for my birthday a few weeks ago and had an amazing meal! This is located in a dense part of Hollywood close to The Pantages Theater and I opted for valet right in front rather than search for a spot. Let's get to the food: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - 5 stars. Excellent! Perfectly crisped rice underneath creamy and delicious spicy tuna. Crispy Brussels Sprouts - 5 stars. Utilizing the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts gives this a crispy and light quality and the seasoning is delicious, not your typical "balsamic glazed" sprout Miso Cod Bites - 4 1/2 Stars. This was a healthier and light appetizer and a nice little bite. Baked Crab Hand Rolls - 5+ stars. The best baked crab roll on earth!! No notes! Assorted Kushiyaki - 5 stars. We got the asparagus and the eggplant and both were great! Assorted Ngiri - 5 Stars. Every piece was fresh and absolutely delicious. The service was fabulous as well. Extra olive juice on the side of my Filthy Martini was a nice "mint on the pillow" moment for me, and the mini sparkler candle that was brought out for my bday dessert was charming. The ambiance is minimalist and upscale, and our giant booth was perfect for a bday celebration. Well done Katsuya, can't wait to come back!

We've been to Rokusho twice and love it. It's a bit pricey, but what isn't these days?--and, besides, artistry costs, so it's well worth it. The menu changes frequently, as our waitress said when I mentioned I had the short ribs last time. You can check the menu online, but I have to look up a lot of words, and even then, it is always quite a surprise. A beautiful one, because every dish we have had has been wonderful. I've decided I can order anything; don't worry about it. It is primarily seafood, but they have always had other things, too. There's no sukiyaki or tempura, or if it is, it is very creative. The interior is stunning in dark grays and blacks and woods, and the service staff have been great, and they can tell you in detail what everything is. We are very pleased.
