Yamashiro Restaurant

I had a cocktail reception and ceremony at Yamashiro Restaurant. When we went to view the venue, we knew it was the one. The Japanese sunken garden was perfect for a ceremony and reception at the same time. Rent out the adjacent sky room and get your own private bar for your guests. The food is excellent and the cost isn't as much. All my guests had a wonderful time and thought it looked like it cost a lot more than it actually was. The event team (Alana & Reem) was very informative and answered any and all questions I had.

Reem was my event coordinator, she was easy to work with since there were hardly any correspondence from the venue till 3 weeks before the wedding.

Food tasted great and was worth the price. The wine selection was fair for the cost and quality.

We had our ceremony in the garden court and it was great for a small wedding within the range of 40-60 guests, beyond that the court would feel crowded and uncomfortable (in my opinion).

Very nice skyview over Hollywood and Highland, absolutely beautiful when skies are clear.

The bridal room is gorgeous and holds 7-10 people comfortably. The grooms room holds 2.

Very good venue for a budget wedding.

Pros:
One aspect of Yamashiro's is that they are very flexible and easy to work with you on how you want to structure your wedding, from the ceremony, time required for hair and makeup, wedding ceremony setup, music, projection screens, privacy of reception room, etc. can all be negotiated with the venue.

Cons:
Grooms room was a closet that fits only 2 people. Valet charged the bride and groom for parking.

Reem was my event coordinator. She is so easy to work with, highly detailed and organized. Food was great. Excellent value for cost and quality. Our ceremony and reception were in the garden court and it was magical! The bride's dressing room is spacious. For an Asian-inspired, unique wedding, smaller guest count 100-150 I highly recommend. You will not regret it! :) Brides to be welcome to contact me with questions! Good luck!

Fabulous Sushi's, make sure you request Reservation for the Garden Tables for best seating.

A small wedding with a beautiful setting.
But the food was not worth the money.
They really need a new chef.

We went to Yamashiro's for our rehearsal dinner. Their prices are a bit pricey but worth it! There food is delicious! I've been to a wedding here and it was nice although it's a bit small but works if you are having a small wedding.

I didn't have my rehearsal dinner here, but the food is fantastic. This is my favorite restaurant. When we recently went there was a wedding going on and it looked awesome! This would be a great place for a rehearsal dinner. Your friends and family would be very impressed!

AMAZING! Alana was so helpful, always responded immediately to my emails and was so sweet and kind. The entire Yamashiro staff made us feel so at home and so taken care of. The food was INCREDIBLE and everyone was so happy. They made it really easy to get our centerpieces out, kept our cupcakes in the fridge so they wouldn't melt and every server had a big happy smile on their face all day. A lovely wonderful experience that we will never forget ever!
