"Modeled after a Japanese-listening sushi bar, this new River Oaks restaurant dishes out flavorful hand rolls and a curated playlist. Diners get a front-row seat of chefs assembling dishes, including sets of sashimi featuring seasonal fish or bluefin tuna, and an assortment of hand rolls, including a warm, buttery lobster hand roll with a dollop of seaweed hollandaise that some might recognize from its omakase restaurant Neo, and a maitake hand roll slathered in a brown butter emulsion. Pair the rolls with a bottle of sake or an inventive cocktail, including Japanese high balls, and finish with kakigori that’s hand-cranked into your bowl in plain sight. Visit on Sunday nights between 7 p.m. and midnight when the restaurant busts out the red lights and transitions to Bar Kira. The nighttime experience features a special menu of cocktails and bites, including lobster rolls on milk bread, wagyu beef curry, and smoked fish onigiri." - Brittany Britto Garley
