YAKUN

Yakun is an amazing fine dining and Yakitori omakase experience with incredible attention to detail. Everything from the food, cocktails, and decor was carefully chosen and perfectly prepared. Since Yakun only opened a couple weeks ago, we didn't know what to expect given the small number of reviews, but we were very glad we chose to visit. The food was fantastic and extremely fresh. They had a strong emphasis for same-day freshness. The skewers were grilled perfectly, and there was a lot of variety (all the way from beef tongue to chicken gizzards and livers too). Appetizers were very delicious and beautifully plated. The crab in particular blew my mind with how fresh and balanced it was. The cocktails were beautiful and masterfully mixed. I highly recommend the Japanese Old Fashioned

Dinner and a show! Yakun made our holiday trip truly special and memorable. To be honest, we weren't sure what to expect when we booked, but we were blown away. ​A huge thank you to Kevin, Jerome, and their incredible team. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the impeccable service, and the vibrant atmosphere. The cocktails were excellent, though we’d love to see sake/wine pairings and more beer options added after the soft opening. Having those pairings to balance the rich textures and flavors would really take the "performance" to the next level. We will definitely be back next time we’re in LA!

Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant — perfect for a relaxed meal or a special occasion. Everything exceeded expectations, and I’ll definitely be coming back. The crab they offered tonight was impressive, we got lucky to have that because everyday’s course could be different. Highly recommend!

This place is not worth the price. The decoration is very nice, but the food is average. The service is good. They use accent chairs as dining chairs

Had a great experience at Yakun. The omakase flowed really well from start to finish. The Hassun set a strong opening, the bigfin reef squid, saba sushi, abalone, and uni were all very fresh. The sashimi course with hirame was clean and delicate, and the warm dishes really stood out, especially the starchy sauce crab, A5 wagyu, and the tamago tofu. The yakitori and chicken soboro gohan with red miso soup were a comforting and satisfying finish. Also want to give a shoutout to Jerome, every cocktail he recommended was excellent. My favorite was a melon cocktail that was refreshing and perfectly balanced. Overall, great food, great drinks, and attentive service. Would definitely come back.
