"There's been a ton of hype surrounding the first US location of a popular Japanese tempura restaurant. You may need lots of patience to get a table, but even with one or two menu misses, it's well worth the wait. Must-order options include huge portions of silky katsu curry, creamy carbonara that rivals those from local Italian restaurants, and most importantly, the tempura. This signature dish is drizzled in the restaurant’s dashi-heavy kohaku sauce (much thicker than traditional tempura sauce) and situated on a bed of warm fluffy rice. Save room for dessert too—the sweet potato crème brûlée is something that we now lovingly dream about eating." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
