"In Fairfax, I found the busy new Yojimbo ready to take the next step: beginning September 7 the Japanese restaurant in the former Golden State space will open for on-site indoor dining after operating with limited takeout service from a window. The space has shed the building’s former gastropub look (which lasted 12 good years) for a pared-down, light wood-and-brick aesthetic with two long bar-height railings running the length of the dining room. Chefs Keisuke Akabori (Spago) and Chris Ono (Eleven Madison Park, Providence) are expanding Yojimbo’s menu to include a full slate of Japanese bowls (think chicken teriyaki, braised beef, and more), as well as kaisen boxes, wings, salads, and more; hours run 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday." - Farley Elliott
