IMA
restaurant
A Beverly Hills dining room serving traditional Japanese sukiyaki and shabu-shabu alongside curated appetizers.
Description
Diners frequently choose the moderately lively room for dates and business meals, drawn to fresh beef and vegetable spreads that former Tokyo residents cite as a faithful touchstone of Japan. The experience, however, generates sharp contrasts in value and execution. Portions feel trim against the steep pricing, with guests noting that not all beef in premium sets is Japanese wagyu graded. Service at the table also proves divisive, with accounts alternating between gracious, warm hospitality and unresponsive staff with protracted delays.
