"Chef David Yoshimura spent time cooking at two-Michlin-starred Californios before striking out on his own to open Nisei, his fine-dining Japanese restaurant on Polk Street. The inky black space allows the food, beverage, and service to shine, and the tasting menu puts a modern twist on familiar Japanese dishes — for example, sourdough mochi served with koji butter and caviar or rich miso broth made creamy by local pine nuts. Don’t skip the sake pairing, and for a quick bite with an excellent cocktail, there’s always sister spot Bar Iris just next door." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff
