In Short
Yamashiro's spectacular backdrop and grand architecture pleases the crowds. Built in 1911, the grounds are an exact replica of a palace located in the Yamashiro mountains near Kyoto, Japan. The pagoda, koi pond, polished teak and million-dollar views are intoxicating. The menu--featuring specialties in each course--includes twists on Japanese fare like the grilled saffron seafood and tuna encrusted in sesame. Sushi items include tuna, sea urchin and albacore sashimi.

My wife and I went to Yamashiro a couple of weeks ago and had a great experience. The view was amazing and the service was great. We shared a few dishes including a variety of sushi, filet mignon, and the grilled seafood. Everything we had was incredible and our server was very helpful in helping us decide what to order. I appreciated that the filet was cooked to order AND the server came back about a minute after the filet was delivered to make sure it was cooked properly. We each had a martini and they were mixed PERFECTLY. For dessert we shared the Smores...fantastic! I can't wait to go back! It's rare to find a restaurant that has everything going for it....but Yamashiro does.

Yamashiro is just another example of selling out Asian food to make a quick buck. The views and architecture of the restaurant are amazing, along with the koi pond. However, the food? Not only it is overpriced, it tastes as plain as eating at a fast-food Yoshinoya's! I suppose the reason for the expensive food prices is so that they can pay for the location and the staff. If you like great views with mediocre (overpriced) food, this is the place for you. As for me, let's just say Siyanora Yamashiro!

I think the primary thing that should encourage one to come here is the ambiance. It's a neat location up in the hills. The food itself is good but nothing special. My favorite thing about this place is the bar. One of the bartenders did some magic for us and it was really impressive and entertaining. I would recommend this place if you have never been before.
