What People Are Saying About Yabu
The Editor

In Short – Wood and glass provide clean lines, bringing to mind an ancient Japanese roadhouse. Offering a wide variety of traditional dishes, the mostly a la carte menu encourages diners to mix, match and share. Appetizers include miso soup tarted up with clams and scallions, and tender miso-fried eggplant. Juicy shrimp shu mai (shrimp dumplings) come steamed in a nest of noodles. Fried meats and vegetables, donburi rice bowls, sushi combos, and noodle specialties complete the menu. –

I LOVE UDON!
by Sheauen
get there early or be prepared to wait. its worth the wait though. this is hands down on of the best udon places in los angeles. good variety. if you like hot soba, their duck with hot soba is great for a cold la night. attention to detail in every dish and attentive and service.
- Pros: great udon, sushi, service
- Cons: small dining area

Sushi at Yabu is GOOOOOOD.....
by fnsa
It's not a scene, it's kind of hidden away with a beautiful and serene patio for when it's nice and warm outside...and the sushi is very fresh and very good..and not expensive! It's every bit as good as Wa further up on North La Cienega, and less pricey. The staff is super nice and the place has a warm, homey, almost romantic vibe. I'd go there with a friend or a lover...but not necessarily to impress some flush business clients.
- Pros: Warm and romantic atmosphere, good service, great sushi, value for the money
- Cons: None

Excellent Quality Food
by redbutler
Yabu is a small place that serves delicious authentic Japanese sushi. There are so many sushi places that have popped up around town, but Yabu continues to provide great tasting food. Typically, toro is the only sushi that will literally melt in your mouth. At Yabu, the yellowtail has the same results. Make sure to enjoy their outdoor patio for seating with a little fresh air. Although the seating is tight, the earth tones and overall balance are very impressive. A very nice place for a quick bite during the day, or a 2nd date get to know you a little more type of place.

- Pros: great food, great service, outdoor/indoor patio
- Cons: no designated bar area,
