Best damn fajitas you’ll eat here!

Kata Robata is the best sushi my spouse and I have ever had, and we’re ex-New Yorkers that have also eaten sushi in Tokyo, Seoul, Jeju, Hawaii, and LA. Kata tops that list, shockingly. UChi is great too, but in a more experimental modern way, whereas Kata is just straight up high class traditional.

For non-sushi, Coltivare is also amazing.

Agreed with Kata Robata
