Hidden Sushi Gen
Yabu has a great selection of sushi, sashimi, noodles, eggplant with miso, tempura and other Japanese treats. There is a sushi bar if you want to sit there, but regular dining is available, too. Prices are moderate, but considering the quality of the food, are a steal. There is some metered street parking on La Cienega, so you might have to walk to get there. I have never made reservations, so I don't know if you need them or not. Best of all, Yabu never has any 'tude; the staff is great.
Business Description from the Web

Originally an off-shoot of a noodle shop on Pico, this fun and friendly spot is housed in a tepeelike structure with lots of dark wood, a sushi bar and a fanciful bamboo patio. It's a great pit stop for an inexpensive lunch of udon or soba noodles served with myriad toppings-even gold leaf. At dinner, in addition to noodles, you'll find some fabulous sashimi, sushi and more esoteric dishes; the...

Soba's the name of the game here -- you can choose from more than three dozen varieties of hot or cold soba preparations -- but the menu extends far beyond these freshly made buckwheat noodles. The inner courtyard's grove of timber bamboo is a nice backdrop for grilled yellowtail collar, soup scented with matsutake mushrooms (prized for their mysteriously musty essence) and toro (tuna...

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...

A hip setting for creatively twisted, mix-and-match Japanese favorites.

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

Amazing sushi by Melanie W. at InsiderPages

Yabu is quiet and unassuming--there is an outdoor courtyard that is nicely lit at night and the sound of water from a fountain. The sushi is fresh and absolutely delicious and the staff is extremely prompt and delightful. It tends to get busy later on at night, so to ensure a seat right away, go earlier.
Sushi at Yabu is GOOOOOOD.....

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...
