"AB Steak chef Akira Back partnered with restaurateur Robert Kim (Mama Lion, and a forthcoming Nancy Silverton pasta bar) to open this striking counter-only temaki roll experience. Think of it like a variation of Yunomi or Kazunori but with more luxurious flourishes. All the major Nobu-esque dishes are here, too, like crispy tuna rice and yellowtail with serrano chile and yuzu soy sauce, though many of the dishes offer some Korean touches. Crispy rice gets a hit of kimchi seasoning while the lobster roll is presented “ssam” style. A meal-ending unagi temaki comes with a layer of fresh strawberries for a subtle tangy hit." - Matthew Kang
