"The maximalist omakase adored by people like Questlove is back, and chef Ryan Roadhouse is scooping consomme gel into bowls of marinated Dungeness crab and fermented yuzu-compressed cucumber, or poaching firefly squid before tossing them in an effervescent egg yolk emulsion, or frying fresh figs in the style of agedashi tofu in Portland once again. Nodoguro dinners are an adventure, often involving more than 20 courses of both sushi and other Japanese-Pacific Northwestern dishes. Tasting menus run $150 to $250 per person depending on the night; reservations can be tough to get, but we have tips for you here." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
