Modern Japanese restaurant with sushi & traditional dishes
"Kanau’s modern space features a buzzy bar and an open dining room with full views of the kitchen. There are plenty of ways to satisfy raw cravings, including sashimi flights, an all-you-can-eat buffet option, and an 8- or 11-course chef’s tasting menu. Here, you choose your sushi adventure." - Brittany Britto Garley, Megha McSwain
"Fatty, fresh cuts of fish are meticulously molded and presented beautifully alongside non-traditional dishes, creating a blend of culinary influences. Discover ocean trout, brined in beets, tea-smoked quail, and duck fat wagyu. The 8-course chef’s tasting is $95, and the 11-course is $145." - Megha McSwain
"Come experience the freshest and artistic culinary craftsmanship. Health and safety precautions are a priority at all times so come enjoy a date night or meal without having worries in mind."
"Tobiuo was originally established by chef Mike Lim, who left to open Kanau Sushi in Midtown." - Adele Chapin
"Opened this week by chef Mike Lim after pandemic-related delays, this new raw-fish destination launches with a soft opening and limited dinner reservations (including service for Friday, December 18). The restaurant occupies a 2,000-square-foot Midtown high-rise unit with a sophisticated sushi bar and minimalist, Japan-inspired decor, seating about 40–50 diners under socially distanced limits; reservations are required via Tock and takeout can be ordered by calling 832-879-2106. Sashimi is the centerpiece, featuring top-quality fish flown in from exotic locales and the chef’s distinctive presentations, alongside Korean-influenced cold dishes such as the Blood Moon (thinly sliced amberjack with yuzu-chile vinaigrette) and omakase-style offerings that build on the chef’s acclaim from his tenure at Katy’s Tobiuo." - Amy McCarthy
