"The city has birthed another omakase spot, but this one’s different. Kansha is Japanese and Peruvian, from a chef who studied in Tokyo and grew up in Peru. In addition to a $145 omakase—served at a counter made from a 100-year-old hinoki tree—the bi-level Upper East Side restaurant has an a la carte menu with ceviche, nigiri, and lomo saltado. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Bryan Kim
