Yamashiro Hollywood
Yamashiro Hollywood is a Japanese restaurant in the Hollywood Hills with city views. The dining space sits inside a historic villa originally built as a private mansion, and the kitchen prepares contemporary Japanese dishes.
The villa was built in 1911 as a private residence designed in Japanese style. The building later became a restaurant while retaining its original architecture and traditional name.
The restaurant sits in the Hollywood Hills and usually requires advance booking. Guests can enjoy outdoor seating on a terrace overlooking the city when weather permits, making reservations especially worthwhile.
The original name Yamashiro translates to mountain castle in Japanese, a reference to its hilltop location. Visitors often notice how the traditional Japanese architecture creates an unexpected retreat within Hollywood itself.
