"If you want to celebrate a special occasion at a place where you don’t have to worry about sullying a pristine tablecloth, head to Jua. From the chef behind Moono and the group who brought you Ariari, Atoboy, and Her Name Is Han, this restaurant serves a seven-course, $140 tasting menu in a space with brick walls and scuffed concrete floors. Your meal might begin with a perfect bite of caviar and steak tartare wrapped in seaweed, possibly followed by spot prawns served two ways, a smoky bowl of jook, or dry-aged duck." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
