"The $155 omakase at this Japanese restaurant in Fishtown might cost more than a front-row ticket for The Lion King on Broadway. But it’s all worth it, since you’ll experience 20-courses of meat and seafood-focused dishes that will be some of the best in your life. You’ll be served things like an expertly cooked wagyu beef tongue covered in white bean foam and gold flakes, poached quail eggs, and spongy matcha tea cake to end your meal or birthday dinner. And whether you’re at the crowded sushi bar watching the chefs precisely slice each piece of fish or sitting at one of the intimately lit tables with a group of friends, you’ll feel like everybody working at Hiroki can somehow read your mind.
