Yazawa Japanese BBQ

Restaurant · Yakiniku

Why we point you here

Yakiniku that's charted on OAD two years running—worth building a night around in LA.

Los Angeles has no shortage of places to grill your own wagyu, but Yazawa has charted on OAD for two consecutive years for good reason. It's the kind of yakiniku worth the detour, where the recognition speaks to consistency and the city's appetite for doing Japanese BBQ right.
