You get bento boxes with beautiful dishes like a bowl of rice w/ sardine & portobello mushrooms, or a plate of lightly cooked turnips with ankimo - and you can have as much nigiri as you can handle.
"some of the best Japanese food you'll ever have" "serious amounts of cash (in excess of $300)" "a series of intricate seasonal dishes and traditional sushi that are utterly beguiling."
One of the great places in Philadelphia for pristine raw fish and clever composed dishes. Hope to God that the foie gras chawan mushi, maguro niçoise, and ten-hour pork "kakuni" make an appearance.
Sit at the wooden counter and submit to chef Takashi Okamura's precise, traditional whims. Many would file this one under "kaiseki," and the composed dishes are a real wonder, but so too is the sushi
regular nigiri, but also seared foie gras w/ chocolate & raisins sitting atop your sushi rice; grilled mushrooms w/ soy sauce & a kind of rosemary aioli; or tea-brined pork ribs w/ honey & scallion
two Michelin stars: dishes like chopped kampachi amber jack with wasabi tobiko, pine nuts, & soy foam. Pitch-perfect chawanmushi and bonkers plate of uni tempura.
Focus on the straightforward sushi tasting, but there's also a nice variety of cooked dishes — tempura, soba and udon, eggplant and miso — that don't break any boundaries but consistently hit the spot
Omakase doesn't limit itself to Japan & draws from Qui's Filipino background and penchant for street food. Maguro sashimi w/ goat cheese, fuji apple, & pumpkin seed.
