Wow. This place has some of the best food within a 5 block radius of our place. Usually you need a reservation 2 weeks in advance, but if you haven't planned ahead, try your luck. It's a Michelin Star restaurant with some of the best Asian-American fusion dishes a person can find, with a killer wine and sake list as well.
