For over 15 years, every single time our family visits Los Angeles, there is one place we must go: Sakura House. Without fail, this incredible yakitori restaurant has been a core part of our travels, our traditions, and our most cherished meals together. Simply put, it’s our favorite restaurant of all time!!
The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, both from the friendly staff and the tantalizing aroma of perfectly grilled skewers sizzling over charcoal. The menu is a masterclass in simple, high-quality ingredients transformed into unforgettable flavors.

Its the place that no one talks about because they want to keep it quiet, you will too.
Probably the best kept secret and one of the best sushi restaurants in LA.
My girlfriends family is Japanese and this is where they go. They have limited hours and literally people line up before they are opened, if that doesnt say something, I dont know what to tell you. As SOON as they open the doors people rush in and grab a seat from both entrances.
Not to be confused with Sakura House around the corner which is also good.
Check out the photos on Yelp, everything is high quality, fresh and delicious. From soups to sushi.
Really nice place and...
