"To ensure a stool at By Tae, an eight-seat sushi restaurant, locals add their names to the sign-up sheet in the early morning, then return at 11:30 when lunch-only omakase begins. From the chef's silly jokes to the seriously delicious food, By Tae is an immersive experience. A Korean rice porridge reminiscent of congee may follow a nigiri of bright pink tuna, but every service ends with a set of three-bite, nori-wrapped handrolls. The negihama, stuffed with yellowtail, green onion, and ginger, steals the show." - Jessica Voelker
