MIAMI \u2014 For more than a century, Yamashiro has stood high above Los Angeles in the Hollywood Hills, welcoming celebrities, socialites, and visitors seeking one of the city\u2019s most iconic dining experiences. <\/p>\n

Now, for the first time in its 100-plus-year history, the legendary brand is expanding beyond California \u2014 and it has chosen Miami as its first destination.<\/p>\n

Located on the ninth floor of the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences in downtown Miami, Yamashiro Miami brings the glamour of old Hollywood together with Japanese-inspired design, elevated cuisine, and immersive entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our first expansion outside of the 100 years that we\u2019ve been open in LA,\u201d said Executive Chef Gustavo Montes. \u201cThe vision being capturing that beautiful dynasty of Yamashiro and reimagining it to the Miami market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nearly 9,000-square-foot venue spans multiple levels and features sweeping views of the Miami skyline, lush Japanese-inspired gardens, and a design that feels more like an escape than a traditional restaurant. The space seamlessly blends Hollywood elegance with Japanese architecture, creating an atmosphere that\u2019s both luxurious and welcoming.<\/p>\n

While the brand\u2019s history is rooted in Los Angeles \u2014 even making appearances in films such as Kill Bill<\/i> \u2014 the Miami location offers a completely original culinary experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis menu here in Miami is a one-off menu,\u201d Montes explained. \u201cIt is a new interpretation of Yamashiro. We\u2019re looking to showcase the best ingredients and the best techniques in the world. So we try to showcase everything for quality, freshness, and simplicity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The menu highlights a range of inventive dishes that combine Japanese influences with Miami flair. Among the standouts is the Katsusando, a toasted sandwich layered with aioli and finished with a touch of 24-karat gold \u2014 a nod to Miami\u2019s love of luxury. Another signature dish is the black cod, marinated with citrus and miso before being finished in the oven and brushed with a delicate sauce.<\/p>\n

Montes believes the city is the perfect place for Yamashiro\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a Miami local, I\u2019m kind of one-sided on this,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I feel like Miami has become a new culinary capital of the world. We have done a lot to change the landscape of the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s cocktail program is equally ambitious. One of the most talked-about experiences is the signature martini cart, which rolls directly to guests\u2019 tables and allows them to customize every aspect of their drink, from the spirit selection to specialty garnishes, including caviar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inspiration behind this cart was to create an experience for our guests,\u201d Montes said. \u201cYou have the option of having an extremely dirty martini, of making a kimchi martini, or going very classical.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond dining, Yamashiro is expanding its entertainment offerings with the recent opening of the 400 Vinyl Room, an upscale lounge inspired by Hollywood\u2019s Golden Age. The intimate, 60-seat venue exclusively spins vinyl records and features a music program rooted in funk, soul, disco, and 1980s Latin sounds, with themed nights throughout the week.<\/p>\n

Montes says the goal is simple: create a destination where guests can celebrate life\u2019s successes while enjoying exceptional hospitality.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should definitely come out and enjoy the fruits of your labor,\u201d he said. \u201cYamashiro is here to provide A1 hospitality with A1 food.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even for guests familiar with the original Los Angeles location, Yamashiro Miami offers a distinctly South Florida experience. And the restaurant\u2019s growth isn\u2019t slowing down. Coming soon, Yamashiro plans to open additional indoor dining space with seating for approximately 180 guests, further expanding its footprint in downtown Miami.<\/p>\n
