"This intimate Old Town restaurant spotlights chef Takeaki Tadokoro as one of the best local practitioners of traditional Edomae-style sushi, specializing in pristine sashimi and nigiri. With more than 12 years of experience working as a chef under his belt, Tadokoro’s outpost offers both omakase ($165 per person) and a la carte options. Sushi adventurers swear by the Michelin-starred kitchen’s selection of torch-seared sawara Spanish mackerel and preparation of ankimo or monkfish liver." - Roxana Becerril

"The revered Old Town area sushi bar, which earned its Michelin star in 2021 and has retained its star status ever since, will be closing on Sunday, October 1 for a remodel of the space. Currently planning to reopen on Tuesday, October 17 for dinner service, Sushi Tadokoro owner and master sushi chef Takeaki Tadokoro tells Eater that the 11-year-old restaurant is just mostly getting a cosmetic refresh; the number of seats inside will remain unchanged. In his Facebook post announcing the temporary shutter, Tadokoro encouraged his customers to check out Sushi Ichifuji, a recent arrival helmed by two veteran itamae, in the interim." - Candice Woo
