"Kira could be mistaken for a play about sushi in a black box theater. The Japanese restaurant, from the team behind Neo, has a wooden counter at center stage and 15 seats for its audience. Kira’s main focus is handrolls, which are placed in your palm like $100 bills. The nori gets stuffed with lobster slathered in hollandaise, and when folks aren’t eating the temaki filled with bouncy salmon roe, they’re working through donburi bowls crammed with amberjack and shrimp. Between the precisely wrapped rolls and the staff stepping in to adjust your coaster a few millimeters to the right, no detail gets left behind. Come to Kira when you want to celebrate a big promotion with pandan kakigori or have a date that needs to experience the fluffy uni. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
