I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ima, a sukiyaki and shabu-shabu restaurant in Beverly Hills known for serving delicate, fatty slices of wagyu. The wagyu here is the same high-quality meat offered by the restaurant next door, ensuring an exceptional dining experience.I opted for the sukiyaki set, which was incredibly delicious but notably rich, especially with the addition of the egg yolk. While I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors, it was quite a decadent meal. Next time, I am eager to try the shabu set, hoping for a slightly lighter experience.One of the standout features of Ima is the ample parking available behind the restaurant, making it convenient for diners. The staff is exceptionally professional and attentive, cooking the beef to perfection right at your table.If you are a fan of wagyu, I highly recommend giving Ima a try. The quality of the meat, the skillful preparation, and the overall dining experience make it a must-visit.

We came here with our friends to celebrate Valentine's Day. The quality of the meat was excellent. No doubt about it. But the vegetables, appetizers and trout were nothing too special. I do think the price is quite overpriced for the amount and quality of food. ($210/pp not including tax and tip) They give you an appetizer of three bite sized dishes. And two courses of the meat and some veggies. My friend wanted additional veggies but the restaurant refused.. we were willing to pay additional for it as well but they refused. Which I think is weird because you can order a la carte vegetables from the menu. My husband also asked the waitress for some paper napkins and the waitress said "is one okay"It's a decent restaurant but the overall vibe was very not accommodating. It felt like they were very stingy about certain things and it just was a pretty mediocre experience. And they told us to leave after we paid because the next customers gave arrived and they needed our table. I feel like for that price ($1,200+) for 4 people and we couldn't even stay an extra few minutes to talk and was rushed out. Not very enticed to go back.

We went for a Sunday night dinner and went with the traditional Sukiyaki plus an order of the Seared Uni on Puréed Sweet Corn special. Service was good, and they cook everything for you. The ambiance is cozy, comfortable, and just great for a date or any occasion really. The meat was absolutely delish and the whole meal was just the perfect amount of food.Everything about Ima from the food to the service is amazing, and I can't wait to go back, especially because good (real) Sukiyaki is hard to find even in Los Angeles.

At IMA -- 要不要和能不能放下,都是自己與自己的和解,即使塵封已久的內心早就傷痕累累,到頭來, 還是只有你能治癒你自己, 原諒你自己~Ima, 兩年前跟我獅子會小獅弟來訪過,當時剛剛開始當吃貨,看到價格已經是哇哇哇, 這個月跟朋友再造訪, 什麼都一模一樣, 一樣的走精緻路線, 一樣的高級肉品,一樣少少的份量, 就是每分shabu 從190 漲到200 元, 價格上算是微調,東西是非常好吃的, 從前菜, 牛舌, 和牛, 蔬菜,拉麵到甜點, 都好吃, 服務也不錯下上次 還有吃過他們壽喜燒的和牛, 更棒,真的只能說, 除了貴, 沒別的問題, 口袋夠深的朋友們, 這家來過了嗎?

Fantastic formal sukiyaki dinner! Grandma always has sukiyaki for her birthday, so I knew about Ima because we had been to Yazawa a few times. It was a beautiful, delicious and special meal with excellent service. Definitely premium.

Wow why doesn't New York have any sukiyaki place even close to Ima's quality?Sukiyaki is a form of cooking where thin sliced wagyu beef is cooked in a sweet soy sauce. It is SO good. It's different from shabu shabu. There are so many shabu shabu places in Los Angeles, but this was the only sukiyaki place I was able to find. We had Ima's sukiyaki set Chef's Choice and we were SO full at the end. The beef was so high quality - definitely the highest quality I've had in the US. The beef is never frozen and it's sliced beautifully. My husband and I eat Japanese wagyu often, but this wagyu was exquisite and we had to take a photo. Service was incredible. Our server cooked our food and served us. She explained each dish and we had great conversations. They changed the dipping egg after the first half. My only feedback would be to have more vegetables. I found there to actually be too much meat and I loved the vegetables so much. The dessert was matcha and ganache along with homemade ice cream. We got a great variety! You must come here at least once - and ask for the sukiyaki!!

Terrible service! This review is not really for the food since we had to immediately leave the restaurant before we even had a chance to try their shabu shabu that we were very excited To eat... We dined here tonight and ordered the signature shabu shabu which was $160 per person, in addition to the a la carte items that were going to order. At the beginning of our meal, my husband and I requested sparkling water with lemon wedges from the waiter. Unfortunately we were surprised by the poor etiquette of the waiter and rude attitude who stated that the next lemon wedges we ask for will have to be an additional charge.. are you kidding me?? Is this how you treat your customers who will be paying north of $500 for their dinner? will NEVER BE RETURNING. Rude waiter, poor service.
