"Tokyo-trained and enigmatic chef Yoshi Katsuyama brings his years of experience to the Bellaire Triangle, in the space that was once home to Bernie’s Burger Bus and its yellow school bus). Diners can expect fresh fish flown in daily from Tokyo that make up the chef’s expertly plated assortments of nigiri, sashimi, and maki, including the Red Rose — a combination of cucumber, caviar, and torched toro. Other dishes on the menu include the Enoki Butter — enoki mushrooms combined with soy butter for a burst of umami. Spring for the full experience, and let the chef lead you through Aya’s impressive 19-course omakase." - Minh Truong, Sean Hekmat
