The cuisine at Yatai is a fusion interpretation on traditional izakaya (Japanese tavern) dishes. The restaurant's a good spot for starting a night out on the Sunset Strip and it can handle large groups. With a large outdoor patio to enjoy the warm summer evenings, Yatai offers some of the best tapas and Japanese seafood around. The popcorn shrimp is a fan favorite at this eatery and there is a large selection of cooked items and teriyaki bowls on the menu.
